No one is to be trusted.

Various organisations are carrying out social experiments in public to show how people in India ignore those in distress. In one experiment a woman inside a locked van was heard begging to be allowed to go while a man threatened to shoot her if she did not keep quiet. Men walking by stop but do not help until one man tries to open the door of the van and then tries to break the window. In another experiment one man was lying on the ground spattered with blood while another man tries to stop passing cars to take him to hospital. No one stops. So are we Indians totally callous and uncaring? Some maybe but for the rest of us it is a lack of trust that governs our actions. In the first case there is fear of getting shot if the man is a criminal or a politician but even if the man is apprehended our kindhearted judges will promptly set him free on bail and he will come after you. He will threaten you and your family and the police will do nothing. If he is a politician or civil servant he will register false cases against you or members of your family until you are destitute. That is precisely what Rathore did, driving Ruchika Girhotra to take her own life, and why Shayan Munshi, a witness in the Jessica Lal's murder, turned hostile. When the state protects criminals it is better not to get involved. To protect criminals further the Department of Personnel and Training has issued a direction that the identity of a whistleblower must be established first before proceeding against the accused. This order is designed to stop all complaints of corruption against civil servants. How many activists probing crime through the Right to Information Act have been killed so far? In the second experiment people do not help an injured man because beggars try such stunts to extort money and hospitals will refuse to take him unless he is able to pay which means you will need to take him to a government hospital which are always overcrowded. It will take a lot of time, then the police will harass you and finally you may have to spend days hanging around dirty courtrooms while a trial drags on forever. That we are right not to trust anyone is proved by former UP politician Mr Amar Singh who says," If I speak up, they will all be exposed." He is going to write his autobiography which will be published 10 years after his death. " It will be in 3 parts: Corporate India, Bollywood India and Political India," he said. He is taking out a life insurance. If he publishes now they will all come after him but now they have to keep him alive as long as possible because the clock starts ticking the moment he dies. Lack of trust leads to fear and fear makes us blind and deaf.
