Just an hour ago I was standing in the que of a liquor shop and impatiently waiting for my turn, since it was a huge one.
Suddenly, a policeman, in uniform, rushed in, and by-passing the que he directly went to the counter and quickly made the purchase.
Neither me nor anyone else in the que could utter a single word of protest and he, a representative of the law-enforcement agencies in this country, conveniently made a mockery of the whole system.
Even though I decided to take his photo, but before I could take the mobile phone out of my pocket -- he vanished, may be because he knew that he was wrong!
The purpose of this post is to amplify the opinion that no legislation can bring about even a nano-change in this country, unless, we, the people of India, change our own thought processes.
Because, unfortunately India is neither a top-down nor a bottoms-up country but a combination of both.
Having seen this incident, with my own eyes, I really don't have any hope left for a drastic change in the belief system of India's powerful people. By power, I mean both economical and administrative.
But yes, there could be a solution that Manu Joseph has mildly touched upon.
If a selfless dictator takes over the reign of this country and remain un-assasinated for a few years, perhaps, only then, there would be a new India emerging out of the ashes.
Other than that, the only solution that could perhaps make some dent, is to publish every such incident that we notice in our daily life on social media platform.
Let us keep our camera-phone ready for recording whatever we find against the interest of the nation, and highlight. Only then, probably, we would be able to call ourselves true Indians.
This post, by no means, is anti-national or defamatory, but truly reflects the frustration of a common man from India and his helplessness!
