How many times have you heard,"nothing can be done about it,""it is not in their hands," "they have too much to handle." If the authorities can't handle a situation,we are accepted to let it be, cos, they have too much to worry about,or if you want to not accept it,too bad,then you need to solve your own problem. The most common answer given to any citizen who complains about the lack of services that they are entitled to is "why don't you stand for elections and change the system." Why will I stand for elections? I will vote,hell yes I will and I will remain a citizen and make them do their work cos I have my own work to deal with as a citizen.
I am a citizen and Irrespective of whether I am the majority or not I am to be served by the government. I am here with a bigger task to form the government,so if they can't even perform the task of working the government,they don't deserve our money,they don't deserve taxes.
I admit every branch of the government have work piling up everyday,but if I walk into a police station I deserve to be attended to. I am not going to walk in with evidence and finish most of their work. It is absolutely disgusting to find that most of the police authorities would like proof for a complain,now lets get this straight,should not this be like I complain you get the proof and catch the bad guy. Or a citizen is supposed to meet their harasser, chit chat with them,get their photo,identity and necessary details for the cops,so that they could get a medal for their bravery and courage and efficiency. Sounds ridiculous,right?But that's the whole real deal. What could be even better if they are waiting for that particular harasser to do something big enough with the citizen so that they could start working on the issue. Now I thought the police is supposed to protect us,and not take into account whether the harassment is big enough for them to pay any attention to it. Unless its a rape or a murder,you don't lift your head to find the offender.
India is a democracy or so I heard,but it is sad that citizens themselves belittle their importance. We have forgotten that if you are a citizen the government is at your service,every branch of it is at your service. Unfortunately the notion of the government being of the people,by the people and for the people has lost its relevance amidst lethargic and indifferent citizens.
