I refused a bribe
Vienna,18-04-2011
It was in early 1970s.I had just returned from a five month European
tour.My friend, the late ********** Kirpalani told me she could no more
run her news paper Hi hits hot news.I offered to take over the publication and run it.It was in this context to show how to make journalism relevant I decided to go to Nepal by international pimp slave traders´ route on Indian Railways third class to investigate
how and why Nepali girls land up in Indian cages at Calcutta and
Forass Road, Bombay.At Allahabad I felt like staying the night in
a retiring room as I was tired.There were free rooms but the clerk
demanded that I pay two rupees bribe.I refused instead demanded
from the Station Master for the complaint book.There was a lot of
appeals from the Station Master for me to desist from complaining.
I stood my ground,got the complaint on the book and did not use
the retiring rooms.Who dares not to pay bribe is the question.
