Just then, she overhears a conversation between a rich man and another officer from the income tax department. She looked near hopeless and crestfallen. Narrator: Bharat Mata watched as the woman gave a scathing look at the electricity board and gave the money to the office assistant. Woman : This is unfair… then what is he paid by the government for? Next beggars will start demanding coins from us!Īssistant: You don’t argue and waste time here. If you want your work to get done, you must give him money. Officer : You there… take this woman out.Īssistant: What’s wrong with you ma’am? Why don’t you just give him what he asked for?Īssistant: Bribe ma’am, bribe… as you people call it. Woman: What do you mean it didn’t reach you? It was me who had filed them directly to you, sir! I hope you don’t expect me to believe what you say! Officer: Sorry ma’am… your complaint didn’t reach me. People… especially children, suffer a lot… Woman: Sir, I have telephoned and even launched 3 complaints that the street lights aren’t working in our street for the past 4 months. Narrator: She turns towards a building, hoping it would brighten things up. Narrator: But then her spirits rose a little.īM: There’ll always be one or two black sheep everywhere. Man: They get salary from the government for doing their jobs and yet… Don’t know how I’m going to pay my child’s fee…īharat Mata: Goodness… This is outrageous! Narrator: The man hands out the money bitterly cursing under his breath He may even tear the CC in anger and you will never get it. Narrator: The man gives away, half-heartedly.Īssistant: You must attach 200 rupees along with the details, if you want to get it signed.Īssistant: If you are to argue with the officer like this. So either hand over the money or else… well, you know the process. Please sir…Īssistant: Even I have a child who’s been asking for a new cricket set and I have a few rupees short.
Man: But sir… I am from a poor family and I have enough money only to pay my child’s school fee and today’s the last day too. Officer: Take him out and explain the procedures here.Īssistant: Yes sir. Officer: Everything’s in order, but for one…. Narrator: The officer verifies all the necessary papers. Here is my ration card and the details of the child’s background.
As she crossed a building, she heard some voices and stopped to listen. For some reason, she is invisible to their eyes. Yet, people went by without even throwing a glance at the stately lady. Though she looked like any normal woman, her noble and dignified demeanor set her apart from everyone else in the place. Narrator: It’s August 14th, the day before the Independence Day and the day looked beautiful and promising. I thought it was worth posting it here, as it's about the most frequently discussed topic everywhere - Corruption. The play was written by two of us and well. This is the play which we enacted for our class presentation a few weeks back.
