Frustration

How do you feel when some on damages your property, and you dont get to do anything about it?
Frustrated.


I live in an apartment complex, and I have put a Tata Sky dish for my viewing pleasure.
I have heard about the cable operators lobby trying to prevent Tata Sky connections, and I have heard from Tata Sky technicians who came to install the dish an year ago about physical attacks on them by cable "mafia". When there was a connection not proper, I called the technician, and he sneaked into my home saying that it is unsafe for him for the fear of cable "goondas"

Cable people never interfered directly with any residents. But today I saw that atleast four tata sky cables were cut by "cable goondas" in our apartment.
The official version given by my watch man was that the tata sky folks damaged their wires. I am not sure how true that is.

But the whole point which I am trying to make here is...
My personal property is damaged by intruders. It amounts to trespassing and damage to private property. But I did not go and file a complaint in the local police station.
Because, "normally" law is not fair and equal to all people in our country.
I have no faith that they will take up this "petty case".
I have no faith that even if they are in a mood to accept my complaint, they will act on it.
If the above two happen, there is no guarantee that they will act in a fair manner.
The local lobby, business lobby, political lobby, "goondagiri" will act against the "law abiding citizen" like me.

I did not go to Police station to file a complaint, and not even thinking about that because I donot have the time and energy to pursue this.
It is very easy to say, why dont we complain to Police? I myself would have made such statement a few times.

But, the reality is that we donot do that because experiences show that law is not fair and equal to all. Either media hype or otherwise should influence it.

I have always felt, and feeling very strongly against the law of the land, and helplessness and inability of law abiding people in this country.
Frustrated to the core.

My only place to let this frustration out is this blogland, which lets any one talk as much as they want.
