If we start debating on this topic, it would go endless pages.
Who is at fault here? We say the total system is corrupt. The police is corrupt. The law is corrupt. Everyone else other than ourselves are corrupt /bad !
Is it only law at fault ?
We Indians, do not respect the law. How many of us go thru the over bridge instead of crossing the busy traffic? How many of us cross only thru zebra crossing instead of where ever we feels like. How many of stay calm without honking if the other guy at front couldn't move because of some problem ? How many of us do not spit on road? How many of us 'decrease the speed' when you are about to get a RED signal?
How many of us in two wheeler never gone on footpath ?
Even though i do not spit on road, most of the other things i might have done once or more than once.
Yesterday also, i was going ahead of an ambulance to make way for it almost 6-8 km and still that was going at snail pace. In Bangalore, no one cares to give way to ambulance. If you say please go, then guys will simply point to others. They are not moving. It is not my duty kind of. Same guys will follow the traffic /give way to ambulance even if there is no cops on road while traveling in other countries. Here we see cops /traffic police every 50-100 meter and they are not able to do a single thing. Why? Is not our attitude ?
We blindly follow western culture which ever not required. We do not follow the good culture/values from them.
Whether the politicians or the common man like you and me, nobody cares the law. It is not getting implemented as we do not care/respect our law.
If everyone follows the signal properly, many vehicles can cross at a time. Instead, we make a 10 lane out of two lane road. When the signal gets ON, one may not start and everyone behind get stuck. Signal turns RED ! Only 10-15 vehicles passes at that time.
About the recent crime:-
I think, we need to protect ourselves than asking govt to protect us.
If me and my wife traveling at night, we wont get in to any private cab or auto with 2 guys riding. We may look for a taxi or get in to a local bus with enough lights on in it. (No offense to anyone).
Just my personal views.
