Where is the place ?

Tatas have launched the peoples Rs one lakh car Nano. On road, this could cost Rs 1.2 lkhs. Still it is affordable to most of the sectons. The point is where is the place to drive this? If the glut for purchasing this car continues it is foreseen every Tom Dick Harry, Bill and Peter possessing one Roads in major cities will be choked. Probabaly in another two years similar entries will be made fom other brands with slight varioation in price. Many brands would be there to choose and create chaos on the roads. Motor cycles and scooters will definately reduce that have become more dangerous now on roads. But most of the people have no choice and they drive. With majority of guys and wome shifting over to this Nano car all roads would be choked. As it is, Police is not able to solve traffic problem. They are more busy in collecting challans and meeting targets of fine money than solving problems in society.More over Indians have no respect to discipline and civic behavior and dignified conduct. This is very clearly evident on roads. Bafoons and joker looking youth driving bikes on roads and shouting and waving at motorists and women and some cranks driving motor cycles and lifting off front wheels on the roads is common sight and this speaks of degeneration in the present Indian society that is aping western society. They think they are modern and flashy. In fact they are simplyrowdy and just anti social and criminals. The TV and western movie influenced youth who have become waywards (These are mostly rich) are disgrace to Indian society. Children from rich families are turning to be rowdies. These youth driving bikes overtake from all sides and zip past at breakneck speed and jump signals at crossings. Even office going people and the guys in some business and commuting violate all road traffic norms and create chaos. They honk horns wildly. In USA we raely find some one blowing horn. It is considered rather uncivilized. But in India everything is fine. Most disgusting in deed.
These small cars will no doubt bring dissater on the roads and a stage will come when people in disgust throw off them and prefer mass transport when it comes through. What Indians need is a stout stick and good hammering to discipline them. Indians always behaved well under emergency and under foreign rule. With self governing the Indians have displayed their wild origins. God save Indians and the country.Cars will not improve civilization and maturity of the nation. Moral fibre of the youth is at the lowest ebb now.
