Our country, generally speaking, is filled with people everytime and everywhere. There is never a lack of people circulation in here. 125 Crore people mean, considering 5 litres blood per human, 625 Crore litres of blood circulation in our country. No wonder India is such an energetic nation in the world. But of course, nature of people varies and our diversity ensures that the basic nature of people does not fit into a fixed set. At the same time, you will see a man walking like he is always at a walking race and a man sitting like a dead stone on the road side. One side of the road may have plush green grass, well maintained by society appointed gardeners, and the other may be only a bushy piece of land, allocated by central government to state for development 10 years ago, but no action has still started on it. I think "Everything happens in India" is the closest generalisation one can make about India.
Everyone knows how they should deal with Police as well here. When in trouble, approach the nearest khaki uniform wearer and ask out for help, with all hopes that 'I am certainly going to be ok, now that police is going to look into my trouble'. But if the Police itself causes the trouble 'these rascals are just money eaters. They have no religion and only know how to trouble innocent families. Whole of their lives they will only lick those netas' shoes. Damned they be.' They take bribes as well. They sometimes spare us as well for our minor mistakes. Sometimes they even consider us as their own brothers and sisters. But other times, they would knock us up with lathi, slaps, and what not.
These assumptions are not very far fetched, and are developed only with time and after due observations. A traffic constable added one more point to my list of observations. A white Scorpio car had occupied a big space in an already congested road. It was not in motion though. On the car bumper was a flag of BJP. I was on my bike, so my movement was easier hence I had the liberty to observe what was happening.
The constable came to the driver, and asked him to move the car. But the driver wont even respond. Second time, the constable shouted 'nikaal yahan se gaadi, kahin bhi khadi kar do gaadi bas, kya samajh rakha hai' (move this car from here, what do you think, you can stop a car anywhere ?') To this, the driver shouted back, 'jaa raha hoon itna baukhla kyo raha hai' (I am going, why are you so restive). The constable hit his lathi on the road to warn the driver of the consequences. Some people had started gathering around in the already overfilled place, to see what was happening. It was the beginning of a small altercation between the BJP car driver and the constable. Seeing the sound of the lathi and a possible fight, the constable's senior also came to the scene and asked the driver to move the car or pay the challan for parking in unauthorised space.
The driver then moved his car ahead by some 200 metres and parked the car in the roadside space. He could have done it earlier but just because he belongs to a party forming a majority government in the center, he thought he is the king and can do anything he wishes. The constable reminded him that this is not the case and rules are there for everyone. He didn't budge under any fear and also stood for his cause in front of his senior.
I felt good for this man, who was belonged to a great but currently sick service, but who knew that the sickness can be removed by reviving the greatness of the service.
After the car moved and the issue was resolved, the traffic moved smoothly. I also moved out smoothly then from there. A few minutes later, no one would be able to tell if something had happened on that site. I thought 'This is how India is. Problems are dealt with and the flow and show go on.
