In India everything belongs to the government, which means a bunch of criminal politicians and thieving civil servants, and not to the people. That is why people have no rights and are treated as dirt by the filthy scum. An Air India plane was diverted to Gatwick, south of London, because Heathrow was closed due to fog. Passengers were not allowed to deplane by air India staff and no information was provided to them as to why they were made prisoners for 8 hours. Air India would not provide any food because their catering staff are at Heathrow and Gatwick airport staff could not help unless the passengers were in the terminal building. Passengers had to survive on crisps and Coke until the flight managed to reach Heathrow in the evening. Food in households is usually cooked on gas cookers supplied by government owned companies in canisters called " cylinders ". There are elaborate rules on how one obtains a cylinder and what to do when changing residence. A person travelling from one state to another has to surrender his cylinder and obtain a certificate which is then submitted to a gas dealer nearest to the site of the new residence. It is like shifting one's account from one state to another in the same company and should be easy. But, like all government work, not so easy. In Gujarat one needs a copy of a ration card, which has been abolished in the rest of the country, for the transfer. Naturally a person coming to the state will not possess one so he is made to get an affidavit from a notary on a Rs 20 stamp paper, provide proof of residence and photo identity. Whether in London or in Gujarat we are always dirt.
