Injustice

India is now one of the most developing nation. Many changes are seen everyday which makes people proud of our country.The new "swachh bharat" scheme introduced is very much inspirational and good for a country like India. I am one of the proud citizen of this country.I believe that small changes which take part now in our country is gradually giving way to a BIG change.

Even though things are going well and good ,i personally experienced one bad incident.As usual, one fine morning i planned a bike trip with one of my friend .We got ready very soon and we planned to move in my bike.Since we had no other friends accompanying , we decided to go in one bike.I made up my bike ready and we started .The climate was cool and we didn't find difficult to ride during the day time.Bikers always will be thrilled when going for such kind of trips which is very unexpected.We both were the same.We stopped in between after some 150 km for a tea.It was a village area in Tamil nadu. My Friend who was driving the bike felt something is wrong with the bike and while drinking the tea he told me the same.With the tea cup in my hand i went ahead to the bike and checked the oil meter and the tires."There lies the Problem".The rear wheel of my bike was punctured.Since it was a tubeless tire we couldn't feel it.

My friend asked the Teashop guy for someone who could fix the puncture.He helped.One of the local guy came in 10 min with a puncture fixing kit and fixed it.We were very much thankfull to him and gave the amount he asked without any further bargaining eventhough the rate he asked was actually double the original 'puncture fixing' rate.In a trip like this you cannot bargain ,since it is not your place and you are at someone else's mercy.Anyway we started again.We were catching the time lag which incurred due to puncture.Our bike moved unconditionally fast in the lonely rode.

Again after 2 hours we stopped for our lunch.For the safer side we again checked the tire."DAMN"

It is again punctured.We didn't know that.If the bike was not stopped we would have burnt the tires resulting in a BIG MESS.Upon inquiring for a puncture shop we came to know that it is 2 km away and we have to take our bike there in order to fix it.

We started walking aside the highway pushing the bike.Suddenly a Police Constable came in our front from no where.He asked me where i had stole this bike from.He treated us in a way like we are the culprits of some criminal case.He asked me to produce all the documents regarding the bike. Fortunately since this was a long trip i had carried all the documents.He read every line of it very slowly.After that he asked me the questions from RC book like a teacher ask children."which year and which month did u buy your bike","your permanent address and so on".After his formalities he asked me what happened to bike.I told him it is punctured and we are in search for a shop.He gave our documents back and asked me to pay Rs 500. "WHY ON THE WORLD SHOULD I PAY Rs 500 ,since i have produced all the documents".

I asked him why should i pay , since nothing is wrong in my part.He turned the other side and extended his hand open towards me for me to keep Rs 500 in it.I told him firmly i will not pay  the amount unnecessarily.He started threatening us stating he would make us trapped and we will never go out to our place. " Pure Injustice" against one who had his  bike stuck in the middle of the road.After two minutes of silence i asked him again "Give me one good reason why should pay money to you".He opened his mouth loud stating "Since your bike got punctured in our place.Anyway you have to pay for it , along with it pay for me too." The most unethical way of looting money from public.

The situation went worse and  we had to pay him money at last since it was delaying our trip as well as wasting our time.Like I am bargaining in a street shop , i bargained with Police constable and gave him Rs 300.I felt ashamed of myself for paying him money for no good reason.

The presence of such people in Police department will gradually the ruin the trust public have on them.They have the right to charge Fine when the relevant documents are not carried while travelling,

but such kind of injustice which is still prevailing in our country should be eradicated.

I personally believe government cannot alone  make the country better unless and until the people also cooperate.
