Fear of death: who will protect me?

There are many people in this world who live their lives honestly, never harm anyone and ethically very sound. They never compromise with anything that is wrong. But I believe at times that no matter how strong you are you are forced to distract from your morality and had to compromise with unethical activities.

My father is a government servant and as a part of his service, few years back he had to invigilate one polling booth during our state assembly election. As he was the presiding officer of that booth, he was doing his duty with utmost sincerity. But after three or four hours the polling was started, a gang of so called influential people rushed to that booth and forcefully threatened the common people to vote in favor of them.

My dad kept his patience for quiet a some times but when he protested against them, all of a sudden they hit him with a revolver and threatened to kill him. The constable who was present there was just playing the role of silent audience. What should my father do? He has a family behind him. So, how did he continue to protest? So, ultimately his honesty, moral ethics succumbed to mighty opponent. Was he wrong?

Even you can witness many of such instances in you life. Where we are compelled to adjust with situation instead of protesting. We are really helpless at times. Isn’t it?

His calling police won't have helped either, coz they are puppets to the politicians. Afterall, politicians are the biggest goons running our nation.

Even i feel the same way that no matter how ethical you may be, at some point of time you do feel helpless in front of the Indian bureaucracy. They are the worst.

What a horrible situation for your father to be in, his life is too precious so its not worth dying for honour just to expose these corrupt standover thugs.
How ever what you are doing - by writing about it on the internet is exposing the corrupt rotteness in the Indian bureacracy and I sense the feeling of powerlessness that Indian people seem to feel about it, but if enough people can voice or write about their dissatisfaction - for the way things are going then maybe they will have to take notice and do something.
