What would be your reactions ?. Review on General views on Indian Traffic

Open a newspaper in any language in any part of the country, and you will come across news and photographs of ghastly accidents in which some people are dead and some are wounded. This is a daily feature in the newspapers. Who are to blame? There are many factors which cause avoidable accidents. In the national and State highways, the drivers become reckless and drive with a very high speed, due to which they lose the balance. The result is a ghastly accident. Sometimes the driver and the helper die on the spot, sometimes they hide themselves to escape the anger and wrath of passers by. Sometimes the drivers are drunk. This is more true in case of the Truck Drivers, mostly fun loving Sardarjees. At times, the drivers don't care for the unguarded level crossings on the railways, and are crushed by a speeding train. At times accidents take place due to the fault of the other driver following you. He has no road sense. He overtakes you from the behind on your left. If you are also at the same time steering to go left, your vehicle  meets his, resulting in an avoidable accident. Occasionally, an under age youth drives for the sake of adventure without knowing how to drive, and without having a valid driving licence. The result is accident.

In 1963, I lost a 20-year old son of mine in a road accident. He had secured the third position in the University for Zoology Honours. I was going to Delhi for a meeting of the Planning Commission Working Group on Adult Education. He saw me off at the Bhubanesawr Airport and was returning to Angul by road. Just before Nirgundi on the Madras-Howrah National Highway, his vehicle, a hired Trekker, in which he was in the rear seat, dashed against a stationary truck. The driver and helper of the Trekker died on the spot. My son had severe head injuries, but he was alive. A Good Samaritan brought him to the Casualty Ward of the Cuttack Medical College. Would you believe that no treatment was given to him, because there was none to disclose his identity. The foolish doctors forgot that his only identity was his severe head injury, and that he was fighting with death every moment. Without getting any treatment he passed away. The next day was the Rakshi Purnima. He was returning with some Rakshis. His mother was waiting for him. He never returned. She heard about the accident, but could not think that her son was a victim of the same. The next morning she went to Cuttack, and with the help of her brother, could spot the dead body of her son in the Hospital Morgue. I was telephoned to rush to Cuttack. I arrived by air. At Bakhrabad, my father-in-law's ancestral house, his body was kept under ice. I had the courage to see him and gave him a farewell kiss. I wondered how I did not collapse. After all these years, when I think about him, tears flow out of my eyes, and the same thing is happening  to me now when I am writing this Review. My old parents-in-law were crying and crying, but not in the presence of my wife. My 90-year old father became nervous and cried.     Those Mothers, and even fathers, who are  going through this Review, I am sure, would have violent thoughts in their minds to shoot the irresponsible and foolish doctors who did not give any treatment to my son. My brother-in-law, Mamnohan Choudhury, a respected Gandhian in India, had similar thoughts. A question was raised in the floors of the Orissa Assembly, and the then shameless Health Minister replied that world's best treatment would have given to my son, had the doctors known that he was the grandson of a former Chief Minister of Orissa. I was advised to claim compensation, and spent Rs.2000.00 for the expenses. A local Advocate pocketed that much of money and never filed the application for compensation.

So, what would be your General Views on the Indian Traffic  in a scenario where everyone is corrupt, everyone is uncivil  and everyone is idle and irresponsible?

I know, I am sounding pessimistic, when the press and the media glorify the slogan'Mera Bharat Mahan'. If you are in my position, what would be your reactions?
