Wait, we are coming
It is very saddening that we are still long way off establishing the supremacy of rule of law which is the panacea for our ills. Most students opt for administrative positions in the BCS examination not because they want to serve the country but because those positions will give them all that we wish for as respectable citizens-security, honor and immunity from punishment for corruption and crime. Our society has fetish for pomp and power. The cold war between DCs and SPs is the result of that sentiment created by unbridled undue wielding of power. During the UP election presiding officers had to sit for the double training program -- one led by Dcs and other by SPs. As a presiding officer I had to suffer the heavy-handedness on the part of the policemen that was allotted for me. Policemen's interference in my conduction of election got on my nerve but I bore it patiently thinking that my protest would aggravate the situation; my honor and position would then grovel under the boot. I know a long standing humiliation has taken away my capacity to boldly straddle the world like a horse but I feel emboldened seeing the weak and unconscious raise their heads all around me. Wait, we are coming to correct the wrong!
