Reducing the VIP Culture in India - Inputs on Solutions
Dear Friends:
Below are Key Issues and Root Causes as identified by you relating to VIP Culture in India.
Please take the time to review them and identify what solutions can be implemented to reduce this culture in India.
We know that this will be a tough subject to get fast Government action on. However, we must make our submission to the PMO and associated ministries. Even, a few small actions by the Government on this front will lead to increased citizen satisfaction.
Please provide your inputs by End of Day Wednesday, Oct 8th.
Thanks for your participation!

The VIP Culture....... this has been going on for a long time, particularly in India. We were under foreign rule and the feeling of being inferior to Whites existed / exists. See the reaction of a Security Guard , for example - seeing a white skin, his body language changes and he may give a salute, even though the white is a criminal . This attitude has to change. Secondly, each appointment has certain privileges eg Principal of a School, Boss at every level, Police etc. If the privileges are given its OK, the problem arises when they demand and over do it. Even at home, the father, elder bother etc . Hence the attitude change has to be from home itself. On Mon, Oct 6, 2014 at 11:00 AM, Rajendra Pratap Gupta < support@localcirclesmail.com> wrote: > more

VIP's drivers and their subordinates misbehave at the toll for demanding a toll fee. They beat up the toll ticket issuing person and damaged the computer, machines and other assets on the booth. Poor toll guy had to just take all non-sense. Immediate action to be taken based on cctv footages. more

Leaders should learn to be good servants to be true leaders. If they expect special attention and treatment by breaking their own made laws they would not have any moral right to ask common people to follow their rules. So special treatment of any sort should be abolished and all are to be treated with respect and human dignity for what they are and like some one mentioned No body including Prime Minister or President is a VIP they are just doing their jobs for the good of nation. Same thought applies to celebrities as well they should live up to their image and behave appropriately when they are in public places and not long for special focus and attention. Especially religious places like Tirupati there is a lot of VIP culture and ill treatment of devotees least concern towards issues can be notices very poor behavior from priests,staff,security,officers every one more
