VIPs in India

If India is to be understood, then one has to go to not the slums/ghettos in the cities, not to the villages, but to the houses of the so called VIPs. These VIPs are unable to enjoy the natural resources of the country like the polluted air, water, sunlight for the fear being attacked by the non-vip Indians. They have spend time abroad or under very security cover to have relaxing time and to de-stress themselves. These VIPs lead highly stressed life, constantly under a death threat to the lives of not only themselves but also to the people surrounding them. But for the last 10years of news following, only few VIPs have been attacked, or plans of attacking been thwarted. But the common man is left unprotected on the streets and the reason cited is lack of police personnel who are busy protected just another life. This brings the question, whether life of one rich and famous more important than the man on the street?

Usually to those people whom the government has given protection with the tax payers money can arrange privates security guards, since they have the money and resources. To protect the non-VIPs from attackes that are directed at the VIPs, the VIPs are given special; priviliges usually at all walks of life. So much for the perception of threat and imortance. But a different attitude by the government, means the MPs and MLAs will also lose their security covers and cannot show off their importance to the common public. The security cover by the government is a symbol of power now a days and is a pride to those who are under it. But the common man wonders at all the paraphenerlia around the VIP and dreams of becoming a VIP one day.

If the common man is taken care of, the VIP will also be taken care of automatically. But the usual practice is to make shortcuts and reduce the work of the employees. To achieve this, the security of the VIPs are increased and the common man is left to the goons. Everytime there is a atrocity on women on streets, on dalits etc, the cycle starts all over again. Questions on VIP security, etc will come and become big just like a balloon being filled with air. The ever improving efficient media devises plans to puncture or brust with excessive blowing up of he issue. The media has achieved in the recent times many times and as perfected the art. They are also hoping to become VIPs someday. Some of them already are receipents of some big awards for their social contribution.

The the government rids of this VIP culture only then can be the common man be safe in the country. Till then its another victim on the streets and the criminal roaming free and sometimes even making laws to nab the criminals.
