Contrary to the spirit of reform, Modi’s government has sought to arrogate to itself the power to transfer IAS and IPS officers at will, without the concurrence of state governments.

On Sunday, at the first convocation ceremony of the Rashtriya Raksha University in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi recommended several progressive steps towards better policing, including the need for a psychological approach for improvements in jail conditions, for personnel to study mob psychology, negotiation and the profiling of the criminal mind (though it is not an exact science), for the police to keep up with the use of technology by the criminal world and the need to de-stress security forces.

Since the prime minister is obsessively image-conscious, he dwelt extensively on the depiction of the police by cartoonists, in popular cinema and in the popular imagination a figure in khaki who is ideally kept at a distance, whose antecedents are traced to the colonial era, when the police was a punitive force for subduing a subject nation. He warned students that in the future, the uniform and the danda would not make them masters of the universe.

True, their real masters remain politicians, despite decades of concern about police reform, which resulted in the formation of the National Police Commission in 1977 the first national commission. Not acknowledging that history, Modi said that reform should have been initiated after Independence, but nothing was done until its 75th anniversary, which is now. He also made no reference to the recommendations of the Supreme Court in Prakash Singh vs Union of India (2006), which was filed by the former BSF chief primarily to insulate the police forces from political interference.
