Satyameva Jayate 2: Episode 2: Police - My Views

The new season of Satyameva Jayate has started and indeed for its fans, there is excitement as to what the new season brings up.

The first episode of the season had taken up on the issues of rape against women and then with this episode came an issue that is related to the state of Police in India. We all are accustomed to blame the police for all the wrong doings that is happening, though that is partly true, I think we neglect the little appreciation atleast that they deserve.

The episode clearly depicted how 92% of the force is of constables who are not rewarded for the real hardwork that the do. The perception that whatever bribe those guys take benefits only them was also challenged. How is it hard for the police to balance their work and family life? Though one can argue that they are paid for it, but the question is , is that enough. How the work pressure increases when they are required to do the work they are not supposed to , then be it for politicians or supervisors.

The divide in the ranks of police force which is huge and how one sees the other subordinate. The attitude the seniors have towards junior. The inhuman working hours. All these things need improvement for better security in India.

I admire Aamir Khan for showing the difficult situation in which the police force works and it definitely needs an improvement.
