there is nothing about being indian or not, when someone refuses to help..
it is the fear of getting embroiled with the dreaded legal and police system that makes even the lion-hearted go weak at knees.
the things have improved a little recently, but, still if you get involved in dealing with any government agency, you will be really frustrated by the lack of concern and knowledge of procedures.
this is the reason people shy away from accidents and sometimes, people lose their lives after accidents.
