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.
