Is the law so mean and cruel to poor people?

Few days before, I read a news in NDTV website, where they had the stories of two families turned orphan because of rash driving.

One was done by the son of some top congressman (officially the richest person in congress it seems). Because of his drunk and drive, three kids turned orphan by giving their mom to death. The four years old Preethi, turned the head of the family, taking care of her other two siblings who are just 2 and 1 year old now.

The other accident was done by the wife of a colonel who did a rash driving while returning from her drinks party and killed an auto driver (sole bread winner of the family), turning his family consisting of a wife and 5 daughters into orphan.

But the more worst thing is that the capital punishment for these people for drunk and drive, leading to others death would be a maximum of 2 years jail, if they are convicted. Those rich, reckless idiots are going to enjoy their life after that, where as these poors, who lost their loved and caring ones are going to suffer for their entire life for the sin they didn't contribute. How those young kids will grow up in this worst world without any one to take care of them?

Does the Indian law lend its hand to help its poorest citizen or is it made only for people with money? Already those super heroes are out in bail. Even if convicted, they can pay money as penality and escape from the jail punishment. So, what they have to care about? They can even pay in advance for their future accidents too. Our law and government has no time to care for their poor citizen. Our Prime Minister is busy sending mangoes to Pakistan and law is busy building fence to protect the rich, richer and richest.

Even if we drive on the right side, the fate may draw us to the wrong one. When were in India for a month's vacation, we thanked GOD for saving our life from those reckless drivers, who never bothered about any others like drivers, pedastrians, kids or any living thing of this world. No one including law is going to help us.
