印度警察擔任張老師的工作

As tumultuous societal changes transform Bangalore, many young middle-class Indians are struggling to cope. Unmoored from home and community, many are taking their problems to the only symbol of authority that is accessible: the police.

A rush of confused young people, squabbling lovers and bickering spouses at the 100-odd police stations in Bangalore has thrust many officers into a role that many never expected when they enlisted. Urban life is transforming India, and young people want to assert their independence. Women are financially stable, and marital equations are changing. Partners’ expectations of each other have moved far beyond traditional roles. A working woman in her early 30s recently walked into his office to complain that her husband was abusive and cruel. Her husband came later and complained that she smoked, drank and partied too much. He insisted that she be a “traditional wife.”

The more serious abuse and domestic violence cases are routed to Vishwas and other services for counseling. Yet young and unhappy people are flooding the police stations with frivolous cases, officers say. Yet, many police officers say they get enormous job satisfaction from helping sort out young people’s lives, said an inspector at an all-female police station in central Bangalore. “People waylay me in public events sometimes, “ she said. “I may not even remember them, and they thanks me for saving their marriage.” 

混亂的社交活動,擾亂了班加羅爾人的生活,許多中產階級的年輕人,不知如何是好。這些年輕人遠離家鄕和熟悉的社區,許多人只能把他們的問題帶到最方便接近的權威處去尋求解決之道就是警察局。蜂擁而至的年輕人到位於班加羅爾約有100個隔間的警察局,理由千奇百怪,有和愛人吵架的,和配偶拌嘴的,這些民眾帶來的問題,增加了警察根本沒想到過的工作項目。城市改變了印度人的生活,年輕人要顯示自已的獨立。女性經濟的穩定,及婚姻的平等觀念也在改變。

父母對子女的期望也超過了傳統的角色。最近一位年約30出頭的女性走進警察局,她報怨她的先生對她辱罵及虐待。之後不久她的先生也來到警察局,他報怨她吸煙、喝酒和太頻繁的舞會活動。他堅持她必須像個傳統的太太一般。

越來越多的嚴重的虐待及國內的暴力事件,使得前來維沙瓦及其他的警非局尋求諮詢的民眾大排長龍。然而年輕不開心的民眾,常常都是芝蔴綠豆的小事也跑來警察局。位於班加羅爾一位在全是女性警察局的調查員在電子信裡說道,許多的員警對於幫助年輕民眾解決問題很有成就感。有時一些民眾會在公開的場合等我,我可能都不記得他們了,但是他們告訴我,感謝我捥救了他們的婚姻。
