A wholesale change of the system in India is required to have sense of descipline in any walk of like. I was driving from Guruvayoor to Trissur in the morning. A drunkard on his bycicle lost balance and came from the roadside and just fell on the backside of my car. It was close to a bus stop. The persons there told me to proceed and the man is fully unconcious and will take about an hour to come to conscious. However, waited for sometime and took him to the nearest hospital. Though I insisted for alchohol test, they told it is not there job. Later on I went to the police station reported the matter. The Inspector allowed me to proceed to Bangalore. After a year a constable send me the notice to bring the vehicle for inspection.After that from the tribunal.The Magistrate was furious because the summons were signed and returned but I did not attend the court.Who signed the summons.The law enforcing stage itself i.e. the police, the magistrate's office and then the citizen should be the sequence where sense of responsibility should originate. It is not the severeity of punishment that will solve the issue.Environment should be created to have the sense of belonging to the Country and respect for others. No harm in learning from other Countries.

You are right. In India, the public place is meant for urinating and polluting. Non one cares. Every one is just intereted in making money irrespective of how they make. There is no exception to this rule. The laws are made only to help the person executing it. He is the super power in his chamber. Unless we bring laws to book the law enforecement agencies, this situation can't be changed. If a govt officer writes a crap thing, it becomes a notice. Your reply will go to dust bin and he is not answerable , coz he is the authority and you can't question his integrity, though every one knows about the 99.99 % officials are corrupt. But nothingh can be done. This is why one day people will take law into their own hands like Gujjars, Naxalites etc and bend the establishment.
