Laws are stupid, not north or south indians
by tomcat on Feb 07, 2008 06:14 PM

Forget North vs South etc..

If the laws of the country itself are so bad, illogical, oppressive and corruption-promoting, then there is no alternative for ordinary people like us..

For example, you cannot take your vehicle from one state to another in India without permissions, NOCs, and faaltu ke RTO ke documents and bribery.

1. It took me more documents, forms to fill and hassles to get my vehicle re-registered than getting a passport!!
2. Spending Rs 3000-5000 to re-register a 8-year old second hand vehicle that would not even fetch 15000 if I sell it. Nonsensical !
3. In Europe, you can buy a vehicle in France and drive it across the country or even across borders without NOCs and RTO permits. You can buy a car in Hamburg and drive it anywhere in Germany (Frankfurt or Dresden) legally without NOCs and RTO permits and registration taxes or octroi. The world is simplifying processes and scrapping redundant laws, while our hare-brained politicians continue to amend old ones with more and more clauses and create borders even between the states of India.
