The reference for whatever I am going to write are the horrific visuals of a police officer who had been bombed/hacked to death. The presence of officials and ministers could not provide him help in time.

If I were to show this video without the mention of the ministers and to highlight that the vehicles standing there are part of their convoy, I feel that it wouldn't have raised any eyebrows. Thats because this is completely representative of the general tendency i.e., inability to react or take initiative or even have a willingness to help anyone on the road in case of accidents or any such mishaps. I have personally witnessed and initiated action at least 3-4 times in cases of road accidents. Normally its a very satisfying experience to help someone in time but typically it spoiled my day, every time. Thats because in all the incidents I wasn't the first person who witnessed the accident. I reached there and saw that nobody was taking any action and then I had to jump into the scenario and shout/abuse at people to get into action i.e., help me to help the person. Its true that I had to bully people around for help and I have never resorted to requesting/asking for help. I am sure the victim would have tried his/her best before I reached.
Ahh sorry about the mistaken facts...in one incident I did happen to witness the accident..I helped...got blood stains on my clothes (was going to office)...and then when I was catching my breath on the roadside after helping the situation to safety, I saw few enthusiastic young men (who had reached there after the incident) approaching me and shouting at me to extract money for the poor lady who was hit....hmmm...justice/compensation..ahhh. They mistook me for the person who had hit the poor lady. Since these intelligent young people only saw my car nearby so they naturally thought that I was the "one". Poor initiated chaps...I had a 'polite' conversation with them to make them realise whatever they needed to asap..... Thankfully they did respond to my suggestions. Again...it did make my day.
So why would this incident raise eyebrows...well it should...for all the common-sense reasons that I need not write here. Also in the video, I was shocked at the control/authority they had over the officers who were there and still abiding/attending to their bosses instead of taking any action for their colleague. Poor buggers don't realise that they might be having the same fate someday. Maybe they are actually so dumb and thats the reason they are doing whatever they are i.e., serving their MASTERS. Actually, its unfortunate...the entire scenario.
Chalo ji.....sab badhiyaa hai ....aalijjwell samjha ?...tamashaa khatam....aage badho .... !!!!

..I won't say they were inhuman as humans are the worst of humanitarians these days.Today morning while I drove past a certain point I realized the dogs on the road barking loud at all the cars driving past.It struck a chord somewhere while I recall a dog was once hit by a car and the dogs hovered around for need of help. Dogs can be more humane than humans out there....we have LOST IT COMPLETELY.
I can still not remember the incidence that happened on the Gurgaon-Delhi highway about a year back. A lady was hit on the road with high speed traffic...all in haste to perhaps reach their offices in time, driving over her smashed body and mutilating her badly.I am sure they would not have bothered about their offices if there was a celebrity passing by the road or if there was a traffic snarl to make them wait. How demeaning lives we are living ....what are we hurrying towards, will we not wait if the same happens to any of our kith and kin, will we ever become HUMAN and not insult our race.
