- In his latest weekly column, former IAS officer Sanjeev Chopra explains how VVIP culture isn't the same everyweher in India. Pointing out that VVIPs (of equal status) prefer to go about their work quietly in Noida, Greater Noida, but insist on VVIP privileges in Prayagraj, Sanjeev Chopra says,'It is the civic awareness, rather than any govt notification, that will be the key to creating a more egalitarian (urban) public space.'

In Noida these VVIPs knew,no one will care about their beacons.....they are not Big fish in Noida.
Colonial system and mindset has not left India..mere changing of names mean nothing....there is a need to control these new indian elite colonialist
Those who r changing names don't want to change india. They want to rule and enjoy like a king
In Prayagraj ( erstwhile Allahabad ) such beacons and flags are flaunted atop cars regularly .
No one cares !
The occasional common man on the streets shrugs off such noisy vehicles passing by as ‘ nautanki ‘drama in English !
In big cities they get *inferiority complex* 😅
How so?
In Noida bigger fishes exists.
In allahabad they are the big fish😅
Colonial IP and ICS officers didn't have flags on bonnet. Independent India's IPS and IAS officers do!!
Flags are good! Don't post crap comparison comment!
How fucking flags are good you fucking moron@@akshay_persona
@@akshay_personaflags are good, wonderful logic
@@apoorv2498 if your uneducated pm and MLA can have than why not the educated Bureaucrats. 🤡
@@apoorv2498 post of PM, President & bureaucrats are constitutional. Your logic and you need to get some facts & education treatment.
Police is accountable to politicians not people .
Secure our borders .
Extra punishment for government servants in any illegal case if proved with double check , extra fast judiciary for cases against govt officials.
Create IVS ( Indian vigilance service) and ITS ( Indian teaching services) with three times the pay and perks , selection based on criteria different than exam merit, stricter rules for people serving in the services.
And many more .
Urban people don't care....bcz of Busy Lifestyle, Huge population, So many other influentials are present there😂
Good. You may some time also think of writing about people using prefixes like Advocate, Engineer, CA etc. to their names as the ranks are used by militaries. It’s another interesting trend that I have noticed over the past few decades.
I completely agree with you on this, Sir. As a resident of Noida, I haven’t noticed anyone displaying flags or insignias, but it’s common to see some cars with 'High Court/Judge' labels. I spent my formative years in the peaceful Doon Valley (1977-2000), where military vehicles often displayed rank flags or insignias, while very few civilian vehicles did so. This was before Dehradun became a state capital. I appreciate you bringing this up and enlightening us.
His research is "because Pannu says so". What a clown 🤡.
Recently I visited Lucknow and observed that several SUVs had hooter fitted in it. After enquiring with a local Car dealer I learnt that anyone can get it fitted by paying less than 10k. Conclusion: not only Civil servants but the ordinary citizens feel pride in flaunting their social status by these means.
Hello Sanjeev Sir,
Huge respect for the work which you have done for the country.
In this video though it felt like a click bait, information was just at the end(information for which a user clicked)
I felt this should have been shorter
Very insightful!!!
Very good observation
IT'S Nothing But Wealth
Fantastic episode
Sad state of Indian psyche, that I am above the rest, we are trying to get over it, but sooner the better.
Ans also most of the so called VIPs have towels on their chairs! Does not make any sense in Indian heat and dust.
Listening to this is like sitting on a 70 year old sal wooden chair and seeing a rusty old paperlet written with british english and marked etches of devnagri scripts.
Colonial aesthetic,
Tho very nice and inside coverage of facets which was interesting.
If every important city in India became like Noida, Bengaluru or Hyderabad, these corrupt people would’ve lost all their status way ago. No government department or agency in India ever works properly except ISRO and BARC where people like these Babus are strictly debarred from entering and which report directly to the PMO.
Is Noida also a good city? Not bad north India if this is true
Government servants want to flaunt? How vain.
But if the archors needed the flags for assistance in their aiming then why did they need to be near or on the commander's ride.
I think it is more of a symbol, we have seen how flags are hoisted and carried along even at peaceful settings.
As for the beam and siren, they are a status symbol. In our society, social status plays an important role in day to day affairs, how others perceive and behave to one another depends on this perception.
These so-called status symbols have taken the place of surnames, as class has somewhat taken over caste for some....
This is realy banal content..

sad

when one forgets history
history bites back
.
Today... it is The Corporate World who enjoy the privilege of sitting with Democratic Elected ...
..and who were the 99 percent of Share Holders of East India Company? The ones who did not loan to the age old Maharajas to help the Economy of Little Kingdoms...
Jai The Almighty 💰!!!

Garbage talk.
People in west uttar pardesh earn money so people in east uttar pardesh can live like kings
East uttar pardesh will always remain Bihar lite
Just like people of india are paying for Bihar to do socialism,same way people from west uttar pardesh are paying for socialism in eastern up
Sir with all due respect, Western UP is ahead than rest of UP because western UP always had advantage due its proximity to national capital, also Green Revolution had better impacted Western UP (due credit to its people and politicians). Eastern UP is catching up with all these schemes like ODOP and religious tourism. You cannot say that Eastern UP is leeching on Western UP.
PS- I am from central UP
Living few kms away from national capital and flauting like you achieved it😂
