Do we have any right to be a citizen???????

I dont know when was the last time when i felt a proud feeling of being a citizen of India...and today i have lost more faith in the system and on this nation.

I have a kind of rebel atitude towards most of the things. I m not perfect but like others i strive for that and most of the times bark for a reason. Difference between me and others such billions mouths?..i bite, not just bark>>>>

now lets me share the incident which i witnessed today, nothing strange here in India but meant a lot to me..
here it goes...

I was travelling in the Govt bus DTC(Delhi Transport Corporation) and as my habit i didnt pay for the ticket. I will give my reason later. Now my when i reached at my stand, i came out of the bus. and was walking for my offfice. Then another bus came and it was too due to some barriers put on the road my our police. And the gate was open so i could hear what was going inside the bus and I thought for once to board the bus for one more stand but then dropped that thought as i could see a strict conductor arguing with one passenger. Now he was shouting at something. Bus was slow so i heard that he was arguing with that passenger about fare. his voice got much louder and revealed the whole story. that passenger was ready to par for fare but he had a torn currency note and that was the only money he got with him. conductor asked to get out of the bus. He said he has to reach somwhere and he has no option but to keep travelling. then as usual it voices got louder and a hand came flying in the air slapping the face, thrice. the hand was of conductor and face was of poor democratic indian passenger. then slang language came into action  and war of words started. then finally  he overpowered the passenger and throw him out of the bus by kicking his ass, literally. 


now...i dont care how many slaps that passenger received from that conductor..and if they shoul dhave behve properly of handled the situation well..what i care about is..doesn't a citizen who is empty pocket, have the right to enjoy the public services?

i travel in buses and pay the fare only if the conductor ask for, else i dont care about penalty or anything. its not abot money, its about enjoying the rights which are our just beacuause we pay all the taxes to live in this country, maybe not directly but in passive manner. we pay tax to govt. even when we buy the basic commodities like milk or a chocolate. at every step whenever we shell out money out of the pocket to buy something then some part of it goes to govt. and doing this for whole life but we still dont have a right to enjoy free ride when we neeed it. I m not advocating for free rides.. but i m advocating for some space and relaxations which can be given to us for being a citizen or tax payer. we get penalized if we pay the electricity or water bills late. but our govt never get panalized when they dont deliver what they promise during their election campaigns. simply ths nation is running on money.not ethics...and thats not the society to live in..i dont know which is the better society to live in ..on nation...but for now..India is not where i like to born again..i would rather like to born in Somalia or Darfur....i wont mind because they are worst part of earth..and i will face the worst...but whats the use if we boasts of living in the largest democracy, golden bird...bla bla bla..and gets nuts at every step////..

This is my logic behind my India...
