Recently, the Delhi Traffic Police came up with a brilliant idea of promoting the safety measure of women bike riders. It is a well known fact that in India, it's not mandatory for women pillion riders to put on a helmet. Though some years back, the Government tried to regulate the rule that concerned the safety of women riders. But since it's a country of various religious values, Government failed.

Taking disadvantage of the same rule, women who ride the bike (not a pillion rider) do not give a damn to put on a helmet. They are more concerned about their hairstyle but their head.

And now, the Delhi Traffic Police (DTP) thought the same way these young women riders do. They roped in Sonam Kapoor who is an inspirational figure globally when it comes to 'Fashion'. On 17th November 2012, she posed with a two-wheeler while donning a helmet near India Gate. During this campaign, she advised bike riders, especially women, that they must put on a helmet while riding bike even if they are pillon riders.

The Fashionista Sonam Kapoor joined the DTP campaign after she learnt that two sisters died in a road accident while riding a scooter without helmets in Ashok Vihar, New Delhi. 

Joint Commissioner of Police,Traffic, Satyendra Garg confirmed that the its true that the two sisters were not wearing helmet and the other person who collided with their scooter escaped the serious injuries as he was wearing a helmet. 

It has to be understood that one should not wait for such accidents to happen and shake your conscience! Hopefully, this step of Delhi Traffic Police spreads the required awareness and saves some lives.

Recently, in a very famous reality TV show Bigg Boss Season 6, some various characters were sent to the house of Bigg Boss. The tagline of this season is "Alag Chhe" meaning It's different. In an episode there was one revolutionary cartoon artist Aseem Trivedi who had to visit the jail for expressing his views on the Indian politics through his art, suggested a great idea to prevent the corruption and bribery.

At least it will reduce the incidents in the Government offices. While talking to one of the cameras mounted in the house, he said - "...Every Government office must have camera and mic for every responsible officer or a staff member. This could put a lease on the corruption..."

He didn't say it to get himself registered on the reality show. He actually meant it. Now the question here is whether it's possible or not! And if it is not possible then what are the (parliamentary) reasons behind it.

By installing those CCTVs in every Governement offices, the walls will not only have ears but eyes too. Won't it be easy to track down the culprit? It may also help those honest and innocent Government employees who can be trapped by the needy and greedy civilians who keep the power in their pockets next to their mobile phones.

It's time to open the eye that can speak truth!

In India, colour of the police's uniform is called Khakee. The term 'Khakee' is derived from the Persian word 'Khak' that means 'Soil'. The reason why the uniform of the police is called Khakee, should be clear to you now. When the policemen join the force, the oath is sworn that they will always fight for their country (read soil here) and they will make sure that no one violates the civil rights of the countrymen.

Though Khakee colour is very light colour similar to the tint of dry soil,  but now this colour is dark enough to drape the new goons of modern India.

Here are the few excerpts from an article published on 'Times of India' dated Sep 1, 2012

"He had secured an advance of Rs 31 lakh but the two men took the amount, saying the property sale had been challenged and they needed the money to bribe the cops, the complaint said..."

and

"...three men, including Crime Branch constables Amit and Pyare Lal bundled him into a car. " They made me talk to one of the accused who threw his weight around saying that he had told him he could anything to me. Then they took me to crime branch (Malviya Nagar) and tortured me. An inspector came to me and asked to pay up the money and threatened him saying he had done many encounters and next would be mine," alleged Kochar. "They made me sign some blank papers and some forms... One of the accused began to show video clips of torture in custody."

These underlined phrases show that once you are gripped by the policemen, they can make you do anything they want. Even if you know your civil rights, you can not shout out those rights louder than their sticks and threats.

In above mentioned case the victim went to a police station but he didn't know that he is going to a swamp. The question for us is that what should we do to not to see ourselves in such a terrible situation. Why are we given those fundamental rights which are useless in the hour of terror and torture.
