The Supreme Court, in its wisdom, granted convicted former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa bail and temporarily suspended her conviction for corruption. Her party faithful, in their unwisdom, have been busy celebrating the mere grant of bail as some kind of vindication.

What all this proves is that we are far from being a society driven by the rule of law where even conviction does not seem to matter to politicians and their fans. Rather, a legal conviction is seen as being the result of vendetta by politicians or other enemies.

However, there is every possibility that the Jayalalithaa case prove to be a turning point in how the public starts viewing political crimes at the highest level. In fact, it could herald the beginning of the end of the old way of politicians gaming the system by seeking endless adjournments and delays. Lalu Prasad, now out on bail in the fodder scam, had better watch out.
