Poor fellows are so misunderstood.

Indians feel that politicians and civil servants should resign if accused of corruption or other crimes while politicians and government officers feel that they are seriously misunderstood. After the bestial rape of a 5 year old girl in Delhi protesters demanded the resignation of the chief of police. He refused saying that he would resign if it would make the slightest difference. And he is right. No one becomes the chief of police by hard work, strength of character, efficiency, solving crime or protecting citizens against criminals by quickly apprehending them. Look what happened to Ashok Khemka who had the temerity to question land deals by a member of The Family. He been transferred to look after the archives. Serve him right if he gets allergies to mold. No you rise by foot licking politicians, senior officers and civil servants. You help them by covering up their criminal activities by getting rid of incriminating evidence and transferring any junior fellow who has delusions of performing his duty. You never know when you might need help yourself. One chief of police was freed from the charge of murdering a female journalist, another one got off with a derisory 6 months for pedophilia and a third has retired on full pension after helping his son to go on the run for 7 years while serving a prison sentence for the rape of a foreign woman. The chief of police in Delhi thinks it is unfair that he should be asked to resign for someone raping a child. How can he be held responsible for that? He does not understand that he should take responsibility for his officers not searching for the little girl when she was reported missing, for one of his officers offering a bribe to the father of the child to withdraw his complaint and another one slapping a woman protester in full view of the public. If the police are so callous that they do not care for the welfare of an innocent little child, if they want to avoid the investigation of a disgusting crime by offering a bribe and if they can brazenly assault a woman in public then they are of no use and as their chief he is responsible. But he is not alone. Our most revered Prime Minister has refused to to take any responsibility for the multitude of scams he has presided over. He just keeps bleating repeatedly that he is honest. He seems completely unaware that allowing people to loot the exchequer makes you an accessory even if you have not profited personally. The Law Minister refuses to resign for vetting an affidavit by the CBI to the Supreme Court and the Prime Minister backs him. So will the court punish anyone for tampering with evidence or contempt of court? No. After all judges need juicy sinecures after retirement such as becoming chairman of the National Human Rights Commission or the Press Council of India. All these people feel that they deserve their rewards and we are wrong to ask them to take responsibility for their actions. They feel seriously misunderstood. Poor fellows.
