The training programme on Human rights and gender equality should be given to the police personnel who often forget their duties. The students will always have a opportunity to study and learn the programme. What we see today is whoever approach the police is in serious trouble. The reason is that the police force is not trained on the human rights and on the constitutional rights to the general public. During the colonial period they also hired Indians into police force upto the rank of head constable and may a be promotion upto a sub-inspector.Along with the Khaki shorts the long wooden stick was a part of uniform. The only reform done till date is that, the police department changed the shorts into Khaki long pants but the stick still remain .The British ruled with a stick and the police till today believe that the stick they carry is to beat people. The moment you talk your constitutional rights or start explain their duty to the police in India ,they become wild and the police always reacts with either a threat to you or your case will turn more worst. So the general public always hesitant to talk about their constitutional rights with a police. Police force in India needs a serious reform along with training to tackle the law and order situations without looking at the cast and creed. I live in a city where even a constable carries a six round hand gun but never pull it out unless it is any emergency or a robbery at a public place. The police here though are not graduates and may not be knowing what is ‘human rights’ but aware of human values and importance of human respect. They never ask your religion or faith and do not get wild if you remind them the law and your rights. They will take out their purse and show their ID card when they are not in uniform but will always approach the public with respect. The traffic police in this city are role model of how the police should be unlike in advanced countries the police will simply walk towards you and issue a ticket to pay fine. Here the traffic police will first salute you and introduce him self and then will explain the mistake you have done on obeying traffic rules and then will politely ask your driving licence.Fine may be last thing and you will be set free when you explain the situations if you unaware of the mistake.
