Everyone is entitled to know the law or is it different for the Rich and Famous?

Celebrity and Socialite Ms Sheetal Mafatlal was detained at Mumbai airport on Saturday night by the Air Intelligence Unit for under valuing the jewellery she was carrying. Like most celeb cases, this too would be washed out of the window and the commoner will forget as "time heals anything in India". As in this case the ignorance of the India Law cannot be an excuse to break it.

At least in this case a really strong messages has to be send across that nation

1) No one is above the law of the land.

2) You cannot be ignorant on basic laws. If you are a citizen you need to know the law of the land.

Just imagine if the country's most affluent and educated say they do not know the law, what would be situation of the under privileged which constitutes 95%.

It is high time that people be more proactive to learn and teach the law. Its also high time that the government enforces a compulsory subject call the "Indian Law" , which must be taught to everyone starting from schools.
