I had a hearty laugh.
Sir – this is not to underscore the serious issues underlying the policing in our country. In many ways the attitudes of the police in our two countries are so similar. A privileged creamy layer in the upper echelons of the force and an overworked and underpaid constabulary.
Police reforms have been gathering layers of dust in the Parliament archives.
No – until this country is in the throes of an uncontrolled anarchy nobody will listen. Sorry I am being so pessimistic.

Beer and Petrol cost about the same Rs70 a litre so now “Ghoom lo ya Jhoom lo” – you can’t afford both.
Thanks for a very illuminating article.

My two cents worth on urdu punjabi phrases/ words..

Lammiya…. When I want to go to sleep, I declare that ‘hun main lamma pe javan ga’. So, this expression means that ‘We’ll beat him so much that he’ll be unable to stand on his two feet and will be forced to lie down’.

Mulzim is the one who has an ilzaam or accusation against him, ie an accused.

Dahshat means terror or raw fear. A terrorist is called dahshat gard….one who perpetrates dahshat.

Chhitter means footwear. A beating with the chhitter, a very handy item, is an ultimate insult. If someone is always upto miscief, you say that eh chhitter da yaar hai ie yeh chhitter kha ke hi theek ho ga. To such a person, one gives a threat … dil karda hai ke chitter lavaan lah, maaran sau te ginaan ik !!

Tashaddat means excess, in ill treatment etc.

Tafteesh means investigation.

Regards…………..K K Punchhi

Can you find a slightest difference between our police and that of our separated brotherns including their language being used? The genes of police people ex colonial area are fully alive. Independence or no independence.

Best of luck. Be happy and cheerful always. We all love u a lot.

Cheeeeeeeeers………………………….God bless.
