Injustice is common these days.Injustice takes place in every form from cheating to favouring,etc etc.! Injustice takes place with people who are sincere and want to achieve something in life and give back something to the society.
As a master degree student,I am supposed to submit a dissertation for partial fulfilment of masters.I wanted to do something worth while and not something just for the sake of it and then throw it in a corner.I chose one of the lesser known palaces of Mysore for my thesis. Well,as one knows,all these are under the govt now. I have to photograph this museum and highlight the negatives and postives in the thesis.Well,my HOD's letter was not enough for these people sitting in the museum and asked for a letter from the Mysore University.Agreed,alright, they have their restrictions.
FIrst-The University has been making me run around from the past 2 weeks for a signature from the registrar on the letter. And on top of that one of the officials there had the cheek to speak like one of those typical employees and said '' It takes time.This is a govt institution.''!The registar is on a holiday,so i suffer,he is busy so I have to wait for days for a 2 second job.
Second-Now the people in the museum are putting their foot down and saying,''you can take only 10 pics,not more than that''! Dude,give me a break I am not here as a tourist,I am here as a Museologist,a student of museum studies and I M DOING MY THESIS.Not come for a leisure trip! And when I asked for a book on the royal family,one of them says ''Ask Shikantadatta Wodeyar'' and I told her I have no link to the family,she says ''Use influence ma,nothing works without influence''! What crap.
To make these museum people have faith,I also told them that I will sign a letter that action can be taken against me if I use these pics for commercial purpose and also that I will be submitting a copy of the thesis.But no,they give the same lethargic replies!
To top it all,if I do a thesis on this palace,there will be a proper literature for these people.The museum will get popularised,but nope! They will not do anything for the museum and neither will they allow other people to do so!
This is the reason for all the things that happen around us and we have to use ''INFLUENCE'' for everything or wait and wait !! Unless and until our system changes nothing can happen or progress,they will disuade people who are genuinely interested in doing something for the society!
