What Makes a Country Developed and Not Developed

Is it the neat roads?or 5 Lane Higways?
Or the fact that everything is so easy as long as everyone follows the law and the laws are themselves so clear that they clearly state what is and what is not covered by the law?Also what are the repecussions when one breaks a certain law.? When the society looks down upon the persons breaking the law?
The law does not make any exceptions to any one and 90% of the law enforcers are not corrupt?
Where the justice redressal system is albeit not fast but the law enforcers ensure its completion?

I saw a movie called December 16th made by known Tamil film Maker Shankar.
In that Danny Denzongpa playing a Revenue Intelligence Officer makes a statement.
"Mera Bharat Mahan, Sau Me se Ninyanve (99 out of every 100 people) Beimaan (Corrupt)".

Now that might have been too much, but isnt it true. 99% of us (YES IT INCLUDES ME ALSO) have a basic corrupt mentality that if we want to get work done in any goverment office we will ensure that we find a goverment officer who is willing to do our work in exchange for Money.

Do we for instance insist on paying the required custom duty instead of paying 100 bucks (IN usd) to customs Officers.

And is there one single Goverment employee who will say no I will not take Money or Bribe to just do my Job.

But the thing is our Laws are so decadent, so confusing and so easily vulnerable to loop holes that anyone breaking the law does not have to worry as long as he/she knows the lawyer/police officer/constable/judge who can be bribed.

We will continue to have Dubeys and Manjus killed as long as we have a corrupt law enforcement machinery, decadent and stupid laws.

In developed countries people respect law. In a not so developed country like ours people dont even respect the law. "Chalta Hai". Is the slogan.

Oh Indians, India can only be a Truly developed country when its people respect the law, follow the law and fear breaking it.

Yes and all our decadent laws need to be reenacted, punishments defined properly clearly based on the offense proper redressal system.

Lets make the slogan
"Mera Bharat Mahan, Sau mein se Ninyanve Imandar".

Safety of CallCenter Employees

Heard recently that a young callcenter employee was raped and murdered by one of the Drivers employed by the callcenter and the callcenter run by HP in Bangalore.
This brings to my mind the following questions

1. Should women employees not work late hours?

Then in that case how do we Indians claim ourselves to be better than the Talibani's.
My belief if the work demands that Women employees work late hours then they have to work. But then that brings me to another question in my Mind.

2. Is it or is it not the companies responsibility to ensure that the workers get adequate security?

Yes it is.
But then that brings me to another question in my Mind.

3. How far does the company responsibility go?

If the employee was coming to work then it is the responsibility of the company to ensure its workers safety.
It also needs to ensure that the persons employed in the role of Drivers and who are supposed to pick employees in the night are not of doubtful integrity.
Especially employees have to be picked up in groups.

Som Mittal CEO of HP says that this was an Isolated incident and the Company is not responsible. Probably it was not one of his Women relatives and hence the statement.
I dont know what his response would have been had it been his daughter/sister/wife ?

4. Should company compensate?

Yes it should , since the incident although occured out of Companies premises happened when the employee was coming to work not when she was going out somewhere else.

5. Should the driver be Punished?

Yes. His statement says what a SICKO he was. He raped the girl because he couldnt have sex with his wife. Then he should have gone to a Prostitute.
Which then brings to us to another question.

6. Are brothels a necessary evil?

Yes they are in every society. Human beings are no different than animals when it comes to sex.
But only Woman who are willing to do it and are not forced and are not Underage should be allowed.
Brothels should be given licenses and Industrial laws applied to them.
