Sometimes you wonder what is the biggest malaise afflicting India. Answers would differ from Pakistan to corruption to Maoists to population, etc...My take is that it is the apathy of people who are on the rolls of the government. From IAS officers to police officials to public works people to doctors...if you would conduct a poll, almost everyone would agree that those holding government position are the most despised.
Take a look at some of the recent incidents:
a) A father goes to the police station in Badayun (U.P.) to lodge FIR for abduction of his two daughters. Police people know about it already and tell him that the abductors would release them in 2 hours!! Such is the state in which parts of India are today that father does not protest but agrees to come back after 2 hours. When he comes back, police people at the station tell him that they are hanging from the tree!! What do you say except hang your head in shame.
b) Latest one happened yesterday. Authorities at Larji Hydelpower project released water in Beas without any warning. 26 students from Andhra got washed away...what the FUCK. Will there be ever an end to this non stop bullshit. Can an Indian have a better value assigned to his life?
The list goes on and on. Some serious debate, some serious thinking is required. After all these people who hold important government posts also are human beings. There must be some way to fix this problem.
