Ever walk through a busy market in an upscale neighbourhood in Delhi- what do you see? there are several marketplaces today frequented by celebrities and commoners alike, notably eminent politicians and public figures. Some in particular have a host of Z-security guards (i believe that's the highest security cover available), surrounding them, protecting them in the event some common man should rub shoulders or try to talk to them.
ours is probably the largest, or one of the largest democracies in the world characterized by corruption, favoritism and self-promotion. It is emblemized in the fact that the sole aim of becoming a public servant is to NOT SERVE, but BE SERVED. Security covers such as those available to chief ministers, MLAs, MPs, etc. must be revoked. let them be treated like the common man. furthermore, protection granted to babus and other civil servants which are being grossly abused to avoid prosecution and more importantly, persecution, must also be revoked.
at the very least, it will compel these so called 'servants' to not act in a fashion that is likely to attract public censure. In the law of the jungle that seems to prevail in countries such as Pakistan, and discreetly in our nation as well, it is fair to just let the victims loose on the perpetrators- rather than try them to no avail.
