SHE says: "YOU cant beat ME for a DOLL!"

Hello people! Today I am going to write about my favorite topic…My Doll! Ha just kidding!
Even if a little girl played with her little lifeless doll, still she would be beaten up black and blue…just 'coz some people might "suspect" her of stealing Rs 280! Yeah you got it right…I was indeed approaching THAT same topic which presently you are thinking about. But as we head for it…lets take a diversion and just see what we actually wish to discuss. Police Brutality? (hey that's a level in the Max-Payne 1 game!). Arre what to discuss about the thing that has existed for all these years! As Dr. Kiran Bedi had said…the policemen beating up the little girl were not doing what they did as policemen (?) but as frustrated human beings. Frustrated 'coz those guys are controlled by higher position guys who in turn make these guys do whatever THEY want them to do. Perhaps she is right. We never really imagine the situation of the police personnel out there…having to be insulted by the public coz they don't do their duty, and being bullied by their "seniors", who don't LET them do their duty! Yeah it sounds much like Hindi-film melodrama….but can't help it. Like imagine….you are in a thankless job…where the pay is not so hi-fi like the tech guys, and the slightest mistake gets you the attention of all the public of India who just love thrashing you for every rhyme and reason….and on top of that…you are not even allowed to do the job for which you have been appointed! And enter the guys who break rules, and tell you people "we are so and so's son" and that's the end of it…you get transferred to some place! But also imagine,somebody is telling you that they support you….and that you kindly change….but like a stubborn bull, you just refuse to budge. And as a demo of your power, you beat up little children( coz little children don't know about their rights and they are easy targets). Two sides of the same coin? Or like Anit-matter and matter? Whatever it is….nobody has any rights to beat up a person who has "supposedly stolen" something! Least of all,a little 6-year-old girl. So what exactly do WE do? Wait and Watch? (as usual)? Or try and take a resolve to help the police beat up more….oops…I meant help the police to maintain law and order? (as unusual). In the end…perhaps the cliché about India does ring in our heads - "Yeh India hai yaar,yahan kuch nahin hone waala."

P.S: Truly said ANu! This one is superb, fantastic, fantabulous! Really such an amazing article on a yet so booming issue. I hope that the desired message is conveyed to one and all. Moreover I really appreciate your efforts for writing something for this silly blog of mine :P. Loved that seriously!
