Chapter 159 Female Boss, New Benchmark (asking for monthly ticket)
"Calm down and speak slowly." Rotten shouted.
Amit calmed down and explained: "The village applied for a death certificate for Dad, so Dad is considered dead and cannot get compensation for the land acquisition."
"Tell me more details." Roden said with a gloomy face.
Luoton was not surprised at all by such things, because these were routine operations in India. However, he did not expect that such a thing would happen to his father, which made Luoton a little speechless.
"My parents went to Mumbai a long time ago. The village elders secretly went to the government to apply for a death certificate. They wanted to seize our land. We still had a little land in the village back then..." Amit explained.
"Go to the government and ask them to revoke this death certificate," said Rawdon.
"We asked, and they said it can't be changed," Amit said. "It involves too many procedures, and it's basically impossible to change it. The government asked us to go to the local police station to ask, but the result was the same, there's no way to process it. We are at the police station now."
At this time, Rawdon heard the voice of old Mahesh beside him.
“I am still alive,” shouted old Mahesh.
"No, you're dead. The death certificate proves it."
Rawdon could tell that this was said by a police officer from the police station.
"I was standing there, how could I die? What can this piece of paper prove?" old Mahesh said angrily.
"Yes, you are standing, but you are dead." The police officer said, "This is the law. According to the law, you are indeed dead, and there is nothing we can do. Let's go, I'm still busy, don't disturb me while I'm working."
“My son is also a policeman. He works in Maharashtra and is the director of a rural police station. So can I~~” Old Mahesh wanted to make some friends, but why are they all policemen’s families?
"Oh? Is this true? Your son is a director?"
"real."
"What's his name?"
"Rodun Mahesh."
"Hey, that name sounds familiar. Oh, is it the Bombay hero?"
"Yes, that's him. He's my son."
"Okay, go away. Even if your son is a Mumbai hero, the law is the law and it cannot be changed. Not to mention that your son is just a rural police station chief, even if the Director General of the Maharasht State Police comes, it will not do anything." said the police officer.
…
Rawdon could hear his parents arguing with the police.
Mahesh Sr. was clearly very emotional about his death.
I was clearly still alive, how could I die?
Even if I wasn't in the village before, it wouldn't matter if no one knew about it.
Now that he was back safely, why didn't he change it for himself? Luo Dun knew very well that this matter was really troublesome.
This is a person who has been declared dead by law. If the government wants to make corrections, there are too many people and procedures involved.
Roton remembered that he had seen some related reports in his previous life.
It's like a person who is clearly alive but someone has made a death certificate for him.
For example, during the COVID-19 period, the Indian government introduced a policy that the government would provide some financial subsidies to those who were infected or died.
Then some village elders bribed government officials to apply for death certificates for some villagers in the village.
There is no village chief in Indian villages, but there are five so-called elders who discuss and manage the village together.
These five people are generally the most respected people in the village.
That being said, they are actually the five most powerful people in the village.
They secretly obtained death certificates for the villagers and swallowed up the government subsidies.
Later, when some villagers went to handle some business, they discovered this matter.
But even if they were discovered, their identities could not be restored.
Legally they are dead.
Most of the others were death certificates produced in attempts to seize land.
For example, when Xiang Luoton's parents had been away for many years and had not returned, the village elders became concerned about their fields.
Many others are relatives. Uncles and brothers would bribe government officials to issue a death certificate in order to obtain the land under the name of their relatives who had been away for many years.
When people died, their land would be inherited by relatives such as brothers.
This kind of thing is very common in India.
Unfortunately, the results are basically the same, and even if someone finds out, nothing can be changed.
This is indeed due to the complicated change procedures, but more importantly, it is because the government is unwilling to admit its mistakes.
If I really want to admit that I was wrong, countless people will be involved, such as those staff members who accepted bribes and so on.
This is an unspoken rule, and many people have benefited from it.
Who will speak up for a legally dead man?
Moreover, those who died were generally powerless poor people, so people would not care about their life or death.
These can be called the living dead, ghost people.
Of course, in India, even if you have no identity, being legally dead basically does not affect your normal life.
Because these poor people generally rarely deal with the government, so it doesn't really matter whether they have an identity or not.
After all, in India, these poor people basically don’t have any ID cards or anything like that, and even if they do, it’s very confusing.
Some people have identities in this village or that township. Their identities in this village are cancelled, for example, they are issued a death certificate, but they still have identities in other townships, so they are still alive...
In short, it's a complete mess.
In the news of the previous life, there was a person who was given a death certificate. In order to regain his living body, he made various petitions.
Later, under someone's guidance, the matter was contacted with the media, and with the intervention of the media, the incident began to ferment.
The government felt the pressure from the media and was willing to change his certificate to allow him to start a new life.
But he refused. His reason was very lofty. There were still many brothers and sisters who had not yet restored their identities. He asked the government to treat them equally and restore the identities of all those who had been maliciously killed.
This puts the government in a difficult position as too many people are involved.
As this person continues to fight, the media becomes more and more involved and their influence grows.
This later led to many relevant government officials losing their jobs.
This person received a lot of support, and later founded a political party and became active in politics.
Gained countless benefits by acting like a weak person.
This is the power of public opinion.
For old Mahesh, the death certificate will only affect his inability to receive the land acquisition subsidy of more than 10,000 rupees.
It has no impact at all on him taking the train or something like that.
You don't need an ID card or anything like that to take a train in India, and you don't even need a ticket for an ordinary carriage.
Besides, old Mahesh basically lives in Mumbai and never goes back to his hometown to live, so it doesn’t really matter whether he has the identity in his hometown or not.
Roden asked Amit to give the phone to old Mahesh and comforted him.
However, old Mahesh was apparently a bit stubborn and said he had to ask other departments.
If that doesn't work, he will go to the higher-level departments, divisions, counties, etc.
Rodon was helpless about old Mahesh's insistence.
He is in Mumbai now and cannot stop them.
In the end, he could only ask Amit to take good care of his parents and not let them come into conflict with the government.
After all, those guys in the government don't have a good attitude towards ordinary people.
Especially people like old Mahesh, in their opinion, are just looking for trouble and can easily get into trouble.
If anything really happened in Gujarat, he would be completely powerless to do anything about it.
"What happened?" Itas, who was standing next to him, saw that Rotten seemed a little anxious when he was on the phone, and asked with concern.
There was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, so Roton told Itas about it.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"In fact, these things happen in every state. I have heard of many such cases in the state where I grew up. They are all for the purpose of seizing other people's property and fields. It is so abominable. Even in Maharashtra, there are many such cases. There is nothing we can do unless the government takes action," Itas sighed.
Everyone has heard of these things and knows the problems involved, but no one is trying to solve them.
It's normal to say. There are many more outrageous and bizarre things in India. These seem to be just some small things. How can the government care about them?
No one cares about the more bizarre and worse things, so just leave these alone.
So Rawdon didn't care too much about it. Anyway, his family would live in Mumbai in the future, and it was enough for him to have an identity here. It would be a waste of time to care about so many things.
He is now totally unconcerned about the land acquisition subsidy of Rs 10,000.
"Would you like to go with me?" asked Rawdon.
"No, you forgot, I can't go out with a man." Itas tidied Roton's clothes and chuckled.
"Yes, I forgot that you are a big star and you can't be photographed by those paparazzi." Rotten laughed.
"What a big star! He's just a small actor." Itas said.
"You are too modest. You will definitely become a big star, the best one. I believe in your ability." Roton said.
"I would be satisfied if I could just be an ordinary star, the top kind?" Itas smiled bitterly and didn't continue.
For the best, besides one’s own strength and acting skills, external conditions are the most important.
That is the power behind, the backing and so on.
Without a strong backer, it is basically impossible to become one of the top stars.
Itas has been in this circle for many years and is clear about these things.
Roden understood what Itas was thinking.
In order to realize Itas's dream, Roden felt that the burden on him was heavier.
He must be in a high position so that he can be the powerful man behind Itas and Lisa and have enough resources and connections to push them to the ranks of top stars.
"Wait for me to come back." Roton kissed Itas on the face.
Itas also responded to Roton's toast, and then she looked like a well-behaved little wife seeing her husband off.
However, Itas did not go downstairs. When Rawdon left, she closed the door.
As a star, you must always be vigilant to prevent sneak shots.
Luoton came here secretly.
Roton soon arrived at the location of Fia's new company, Truth News.
Looking at the house in front of him, Rawdon frowned.
The location of this house is a bit remote in Mumbai, and judging from the appearance of the house, it is quite old.
This shouldn't happen. Given Fia's background, why would she choose a place like this as her office?
Although he was confused, Roton didn't think too much about it. He would meet Fia soon and he would ask her then and everything would be clear.
This building has nine floors in total and is an office building with many companies inside.
Rawdon quickly reached the third floor and found the Truth News Company.
There is a large office with an area of about 100 square meters.
The office is very simple, with a few desks with computers, printers and other office supplies.
There are only five employees here.
Fia is here too.
"Fia." Roton called out.
"Roden." Seeing Roden, Feiya smiled, "You're here early."
Luoton did tell her that he would come today.
"You here?" Roton was a little confused about the environment of Fia Company.
It's completely different from what I imagined. It's too simple.
"Are these the only employees?" Rawdon asked.
"There are still a few people out looking for news. The company is just starting out." Feiya smiled and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning."
"Director Mahesh!" a voice sounded.
I saw Yunando coming in from outside.
"Yunando?" Roton was stunned. Why was he here? "I am an employee of Truth News Company now." Yunando knew that Roton was a little confused, so he hurriedly explained.
"Were you also fired from All India Television?" asked Rawdon.
He hadn't heard from Yunando.
After all, Younando was just a small employee, and if he was really fired, the news would not report it.
Who would care about a small employee? "I quit on my own initiative," Yunando replied.
"You just became a formal employee of Quanyin TV Station, and you resigned just like that?" Roton was a little surprised.
He knew how much effort Yunando had put in for this, even risking his life to make meritorious contributions, wasn't it just to become a formal employee? Now that he finally became a formal employee, he didn't expect to give up.
However, Roton quickly reacted and turned to look at Fia.
"Actually, I don't agree with Yunando's resignation either." Feiya said, "I don't know what will happen to my small company in the future. I don't even know if I can still pay them."
"Director, no, boss, I believe that under your leadership, the truth news will become a new benchmark in the news industry." Yunando said, "I have no doubt about it. Moreover, boss, you are no longer at the TV station. I know very well what I will encounter next. I won't be able to stay at the TV station for long."
Of course, Yunando was prepared. He had participated in several cases with Roton during this period and had gained a lot of benefits.
With these financial guarantees, his family life will not be a problem for the time being.
Even if there is no income in the future, his family can maintain a good life for more than ten years.
So now he has nothing to worry about and is ready to follow his boss, Fia, to make great strides in the news industry.
