Hooray for smugglers!
Smuggling. What a funny little non-crime. I can't even wrap my mind around any possible way it could be wrong. It's just the act of going around a bully who's standing in your way, wanting to rob you or prevent you from getting products to those who want them.
Here's the "legal definition" of smuggling:
The criminal offense of bringing into, or removing from, a country those items that are prohibited or upon which customs or excise duties have not been paid.
The only wrongs I see there are prohibition and taxation. Those are the acts of the State, not those trying to get around the State. So, yeah, smuggling is an indication of a crime, but not a crime committed by the smugglers.
And there are a lot of other non-crimes like this: "money laundering", "tax avoidance", "evading arrest", "assaulting an officer", etc. "Crimes" that no one would even bother with, except that government and its "laws" have made them necessary as a way to avoid being violated by the State. To all those who commit this kind of "crime", I say Thank you for your service!

smuggling is dangerous but the danger comes mostly from government intervention, that is the root cause of extreme violence with "smuggling".
The state is responsible to provide facilities to the public and people start smuggling when the state is unable to fulfill its responsibilities.
Kathari, a nondescript fishing village on the Daman coast looks no different from the other coastal villages strung out along India's extensive coastline: a number of weather-beaten fishing boats sprawled drunkenly on the beach, tattered fishing nets pegged out to dry and a beehive cluster of thatched huts.
However, the customs launch patrolling the coastline a few weeks ago did notice one unusual difference - a homing signal being transmitted from somewhere in the village. Smelling something fishy, the customs party entered the village and traced the signal to a central building comparatively larger than the rest, obviously used as storage space for the day's catch. Kathari's fishermen, it transpired, had been using some pretty potent bait. Instead of the expected collection of pungent marine life, the shed was stacked with an assortment of gleaming new electronic goodies, including tape-recorders, calculators and watches. The estimated value of the haul: half a million dollars.
Casting their net further, the customs officials discovered that the village's outward appearance of poverty was rather deceptive. Virtually every family was in proud possession of at least one expensive imported item, ranging from a two-in-one, a Seiko watch to a Japanese umbrella. Kathari, however, is hardly unique and neither is its inconspicuous affluence. It is merely one of the hundreds of strategically-located coastal villages that have, in recent years, been generously "adopted" by smuggling syndicates as convenient conduits for the ever-escalating flow of contraband into the country.
These are a big crime. Many people are becoming aware of you in front of the society. Thank you unbelievable
