What does ‘bhains’ imply?
‘Bhains’ implies ‘law’
How is ‘lathi’(power) related to ‘bhains’(law)?
This particular question gives rise to many different
questions through which this question can be
answered.
1. How power influences law?
The powerful control the law because power is
a doctrine that takes advantage of a position of
power over another person.
2. How law enforces power?
Law has its own power which has the capacity
to regulate behavior and enforce order and
power within the society.
3. How law changes the power structure and
relationship between power and law?
METAPHORS
What are metaphors and how can these be used in better
understanding of law?
Metaphor in literal means ‘a word or phrase for
one thing that is used to refer to another thing in
order to show or suggest that they are similar’
So, we read about :

maintain status quo. Law is one of the techniques
of govt. to maintain power.
