As far as jobs go, there are very few, which are worse than being a constable in the Indian police.

Very bad working hours, horrible pay, antiquated weapons, will be the first target of public fury and their actions are completely dictated by the whims of politics & bereaucracy

Imagine being in a position, when Someone's coming to kill you or hurt you, but you can't do anything, because some guy in the chain above, whose name you haven't heard, says you should do nothing.

And then, when you survive the ordeal, you have to pick vegetables for your boss

Aside from the ridiculousness of this picture, see the policeman wearing a bike helmet for protection.

Because the Govt can't provide him With a modern ballastic protection helmet, which are the norm on other countries..

I think the Indian police is the only police, where the lower rung, which has seen everything from incurgencies, riots to random disturbances, for over 25 years, has to take orders from a 25 year old, who has cleared an exam.

Some of whom punish them, for frivolous reasons

One hotshot young Kerala IPS was pictured with a constable holding an umbrella over her head, so that she wouldn't get wet

Another one sent a constable to a punitive posting coz she didn't recognize her in plainclothes

Stories are endless about how the lower rung are mismanaged
