Tinted film ban, does it solve the intent

In the Avishek Goenka Vs. Union of India & Anr. case the SC came out with a judgement banning use of any kind of film or other material which reduces the visibility of the glass on which it has been put.

Also this judgement speciifes that this is applicable on any four wheeler. One of the main points taken up the petitioner was to prevent Kidnapping/Molestation etc, he suggested this method.

 Court seems to have agreed with him and has passed a judgement banning the use of tinted film on four wheelers. It is a moot point to say whether crimes happen only on four wheelers and not on vehicles that have more or less wheels, when these vehicles go unchecked.

Obiviously judges are clear on their intent that no vehicle can move around using any kind of material that can reduce the visibility of the people inside to the people outside. Interestingly we have seen public personalities calling on the cops to give them exemptions from this rule.

It is now seen in many a luxury car thereis a facility to have a screen inside the car which is provided to cut the intensity of light that goes into the car. There is a mechanically operated screen which will slide up or down to block the window glass, in the name of Sun protection package. 

It has been a tradition in the cars of certain communities to use sliding curtains inside to ensure the passengers are not seen by the people from outside, call it by any name, these also help the person indie the car from being seen.

Mute question is whether the removal of the film has helped the cops reduce crime or enforcing the rule has helped them make some quick bucks. No doubt Vinyl film industry must be hurt but, they will have to find innovative ways to come back i presume.

Now the cops are, where ever possible, trying to enforce the law as stipulated by the SC, but is this the best way to look at solving the problem of kidnapping in a four wheeler. With focus being more on passenger cars vans and other means of transport is escaping the attention of the cops n i believe those vehicles can be used for committing the said crime. 

I am not advocating use of films but India being a tropical country where heat and sun light are harsh, can a thinktank sit down and work out effective alternatives rather than a simple ban which is neither enforceable in full nor ensured compliance by goading.

People selection for critical posts

In everyday life we encounter people working in certain noble professions like Nurses, Teachers etc. however it is often felt whether they belong in those professions.

Let us look at a nurse, she is expected to carry out tasks as part of her profession which we people despise to do even for our own kin. Now just imagine if the same person has short temper and starts shouting at the patient or his attendant causing tremendous bad blood, we start cursing the whole community of nurses though it is one person who is at fault.

A teacher is nurse the talent of a child who has been endowed to their custody by the parents. There are indeed many a noble teacher who feels it is a great privilege taking care of hundreds who come to learn from them. But like in any profession there will be certain black sheep who are ill tempered and they will cause disrepute to the entire community of teachers.

We can go on talking about Bus/Cab drivers, who are required to maintain their cool and avoid road rages, counselors who are expected to guide the info seekers, Customer service agents who receive customer complaints /feedback etc to ensure satisfaction.

I had an experience with the Israel security agency, as I was put through a series of questions when I was to visit that country to attend a Agro expo in the year 1996. The amount of patience the interrogator displays in repeating the same/similar set of questions to every traveler to their country. Some questions might sound too stupid and extrinsic for us but probably they have been recruited and trained to perform their duty. My point here is the patience that person shows in the entire process. Key is the process of recruitment, he has to qualify to be patient first only then he will be selected for that position.

Coming to our noble professions we have hoards of people who are vying to get a job, not tested for their patience levels and who will one day or the other burst out, not being able to contain their anger. We do come across news reports of teachers giving lashings, stringent punishments etc, which sometimes leading to the death/impairment of a child. While the news might go out of our mind soon, but the scar that leaves on the child or its family will take ages to get wiped out. Is it not necessary to first screen people on attributes/personality traits, based on the profession they wish to pursue, if they don’t qualify for essential attributes, they should never be allowed to pursue that particular profession.

In a country which claims to have huge unemployment talks with the same breath we do not have ‘Qualified’ people, so where are we going wrong, in making people employable or allowing wrong people to do the job. It is never too late to start a good thing, the HRD ministry can stipulate certain yardsticks/norms in the selection process of individuals for various posts. They should allow private players to come in to set up both training and testing centers. Like we have today various rating norms for businesses, these training and testing centers too should be made to undergo rating and display their ratings in a prominent way. They can always provide subsidized/free training & testing by covering the cost through various schemes they have for the deprived and down trodden. May be Aadhar can play a role here too.

Have the best doing a job which needs the best to deliver.
