Reducing VIP Culture in India

Excellent views .To add prohibition of writing on the car about the departments, municipality,standing committee etc should be enforced including professions like Doctor ,press ,army etc more  

Reducing VIP Culture in India: Every one will agree to the very first point as the ones that follow. Here we must not forget to add to the list the chief justices and some of the judges handling sensitive cases also. Their protection is also important for the nation. We have earned freedom from British through our forefathers with great difficulty and struggle for several years. Now we are happy to chose our own leaders in place of the British .Then why not enjoy the fruits of freedom ? The elected one were also ordinary citizens alike us under the British . Why do they need a sudden V.I.P. Treatment and position . We shouldn’t behave like bonded slaves to the very people whom we have elected . We have elected them to work for us not to hero worship or give undue obedience . And let them have some privileges on travel and certain comforts as we have elected them to work for us. But let us not step out of limit to extent of submitting our comforts , rights and resources. Now because of this VIP Culture their staff particularly the drivers like to enjoy even when the car comes empty on the roads . We have seen instances of family members resorting to atrocities. The traffic police should make a note of this and treat the drivers as well as the family members as any other citizens .Well let V.I.P.’s travel by a special class , but no need to extend the same facilities to the entourage and family members. It is absolutely ridiculous to have special and privileged entry for the so called V.I.P’s in to the Places of Worship. In front of The God all are equal ; is God going to give a special Dharshan or redemption for the so called V.I.P.’s ? Like to cite the example of the former Chief Minister Ooman Chandy whwo was sitting on the steps of the Church during the Easter service in Kerala. I am really happy about the move and my full support for this. All the very best. -- Jai Hind more  

The very purpose of holding any post in the government or any public body is to elevate one's status. Then we start thinking that now we should not be questioned anywhere for our actions as we are above the general public. This feudalistic mindset needs change. To give a simple example; if one is local president or secretary of a small local body say tiny political party, he will replace the number plate of this car with the above designation " President ........@@@###" and roam about in the city without any check by any traffic police personal. For these type of persons it is clear that they can never do any good to the society because their objective is different from public service. I am not talking of bigger VIPs, it is a case of tiny VIPs. Bigger VIPs think they have it is their first right to use roads and infrastructure, let the public go to hell. more  

VIP culture in our country is limited only to the politicians. You hardly come across any non-political personality being treated as VIP. What is the need? Only our country gives so much weightage and importance to politicians. Even a lowest level volunteer of any political party throws his weight around on one and all. Unfortunately, post independence, politicians are given highly undue importance they don't deserve. After all they are from within us as common as all of us. more  

VIP quota in railways isn't only for the government officers, minister and doctors during emergency cases?? Might be the rules are not being followed properly. How advocates have missed this issue, without questioning for a long time??? VIP culture is introduced for getting income to the place they arrive. It could be temples, theaters, etc., Nowadays it has changed, which I heard from my grand parents. Family members expense should be separate and the VIP's in this case will be going for government work. Other VIP'S cannot be compelled to travel in VIP quota has we charge them for getting the facilities. more
