The VIP culture is too strong in India; the ‘Tu janta nahi main kaun hoon’ emotion has been taken too seriously by us. The recent fiasco involving Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad is proof. Beating up a 60-year-old official at Air India for the simple reason that he wasn’t given business class on a flight, Gaikwad showed how VIP culture operates. Well, not for long; the country seems to have had enough.

After Air India cancelled his ticket, Indigo and 4 other airlines cancelled his ticket and banned him for flying. Ultimately, Mr Gaikwad had to take the train back from Delhi’s Nizamuddin station. Talk of karma.

Air India decided to stand with its employee and cancelled his ticket to Pune. Two FIRs were also registered against him. His own party, Shiv Sena, did not side with him this time and asked him for an explanation. A couple of Shiv Sena ministers even criticized the act of violence.

Even after uproar due to the incident, Mr Gaikwad showed no trace of remorse or shame at his doing. His clips that show him bragging smugly about the incident are all over the internet and he even dissed the law claiming that his party chief Uddhav Thackeray would rescue him if the police arrested him.

We wonder what his feelings are now as he took the train back to Mumbai. Hopefully he had a lot of time on the long train journey to think about his actions.
