The CM of Goa recently tweeted these pictures on the occasion of VanMahotsava in Goa where he planted a sapling as part of the day's celebration. A lot of people called out CM for watering the sapling while it is clear that is raining and hence the watering of the sapling seems trivial.
While many called out the CM for the watering of the sapling, what I found most disturbing is the picture of a senior police officer holding an umbrella for one of the dignitaries while he himself is getting drenched in the rain (see picture below)
Why do we find it ok that a police officer needs to hold an umbrella up for someone who looks like a govt officer. Bear in mind, it is not a picture of the officer trying to accommodate the govt official in his umbrella. He is in fact getting drenched in the rain. And this begs the question. Why do senior govt official feel entitled for such service from lower ranked govt employees?
Is it the cast system? Is it the bhatkar-mundkar relationship? Or is it that we are all intrinsically evil and try to take advantage of another human being? Even if holding up the umbrella is a part of the police officer's job description, I find that very nauseating?
What do you think?
