Losing something can ruin
your joyful day otherwise. Same happened with me while returning from the
college. I went to police station to register a compliant with the hope that it
can be easily traced as our country has all the technology and resources for
that matter. I lost all hopes after my friend told me “nothing is going to
happen, every day thousands of people lose their cell phones and nobody gets
them back”. I wondered why is it happening, despite having all the chances of
being caught why aren’t they are afraid of stealing. After contemplating, I
concluded that it’s because of inactiveness.
We have already seen the
disastrous lapse when the police chose to ignore a carpenter’s complaint that
he had been robbed on the same bus earlier that evening when the gangrape took
place. Another rape, this city is again disgraced by the horrific rape of five
year old child. The inactiveness and unwillingness of police personnel has
again caused more agonies to already suffering parents of that child. The
policemen first denied filing a case for the missing child and when the brutalized
girl was found in a locked room nearby they tried to bribe the parents with 2000
rupees to get her treated. How insensitive they are? After all they are also
human, they too have families and daughters in home and to add salt to the
injury, a police official slapped a girl protester. These incidents are
ridiculing the system of justice and society of our so called ‘Incredible
India’.
Who do you think the main culprits are?
Besides, the perpetrators of that crime the persons who were responsible for
the safety and security of this society who failed in doing their duties, the
society which is unable to act despite recurrence of these events, the people or me; everyone is responsible. Whenever we hear these types of incidents, the
first thing which comes to our mind is that something must be done. It has been
years and everyone thought of this thing, nobody did anything. Though some of
us went to India gate, lighted candles, several protests in different part of
this country, but what results do we get out of these. For a week or two, there
will be lot of brouhaha and then the matter will wither away.
These are the big crimes which are coming
into limelight with the help of media, but what about the petty crimes which
are happening in every nook and corner of this city. Hundreds of people are
looted of their mobile phones and purses every day. When they go to police
station to complain about it, they are made to run from pillar to post from one police station to
another with the excuse that the place where this happened is not under their jurisdiction
and finally when they agree to report they file a missing complaint instead of
stolen one. From what I have heard they do so just to escape all the work
(which is their duty and for which they get paid) follows after filling of a stolen complaint. These petty crimes
are sprouted seeds which are trying to build roots in the ground and if they
are not pulled out they will grow to
become large trees, pulling out from ground of which will become impossible.
We are living in 21st century and
in this second fastest developing country which the government claims but I
believe we are the fastest degrading country morally and psychologically. We,
the great Indian people, cannot get back our lost mobile phones despite of
filing complaints and giving all the details to policemen. These things make me
ashamed of myself, my country and all the people living in it. Anna Hazare and
Arvind Kejriwal thought of changing this country by way of protesting and
forming a clean political party respectively but this move is going to take a
lot of time, as they are targeting the big trees of evils which stand firm on
the ground. We need to hit those small evil roots which can be removed easily, in
this way we can prevent them from growing into big trees and spread its poison.
