The Life of Policemen at Check Point

I approached the policeman at the checkpoint and casually asked, "I’ve heard you make a lot of money here."

For a brief moment, a bitter smile crossed his face, only to fade almost immediately. His expression shifted, and a deep, honest sincerity entered his voice as he spoke. "Sir," he began, "I’m standing here today in place of my father. My father used to guard this same checkpoint, protecting people like you.

But one day, a man from the enemy side—someone just like you—shot him. My father had no idea who his killers were. They shot him as soon as they saw him. He hadn’t even had the chance to speak to them. But despite being shot, he didn’t run away. He turned his gun on the robbers. That’s why they shot him even more brutally.

The newspapers wrote a story about it. They published a few words of condolence, and then… nothing. It was over. And then I found myself here, at the same checkpoint, taking his place."

His voice faltered for a moment, then he went on. "When I leave for work, my wife and mother can’t help but wonder if I’ll make it back home alive, or if I’ll be gunned down just like my father. My kids don’t even know when they became orphans—they don’t even know when to expect the call that their father is dead."

The policeman paused, taking a deep breath, as if gathering strength to continue. His tone grew even more earnest. "You know, sir, there are many other ways to make money. But this job, this duty… it’s something else. I don’t think you could ever understand.

I want you to stand here for one day—just one day—at this same checkpoint, feeling what I feel. The sweat, the dust, the heat. The constant threat. You get to drive through in your cool car, never worrying about the man standing here, keeping you safe. And yet, every time someone pulls up, there’s a chance they might shoot me, just like they did my father.

Imagine standing here, in the scorching sun, with every moment feeling like it could be your last. You wouldn't last half a day, even if I offered you a hundred thousand rupees. You wouldn’t do it."

His eyes were intense now, his voice steady. "We all love our lives. But us soldiers, we make a different sacrifice. We leave our families behind to protect yours. So tell me, sir—how much do you make? How much are you willing to risk? You think you understand our lives, but you don’t.

You come here, you see the uniform, and you make judgments. You don’t see the pain behind the badge. The constant worry, the fear of not returning home. The toll it takes on our families."

The policeman’s tone became quieter, almost resigned. "One day, sir, you might come back here, and I might not be here. Maybe I’ll be dead, just like my father. Maybe my son will be standing in my place, doing this same duty, facing the same danger. This is the story of every soldier.

But people like you, you only see the black sheep, the corrupt ones. You don’t see the rest of us. And if I’m being honest, sir, I’ve seen many blackmailers in your media too. So, tell me—how much do you make?"

He paused, his gaze fixed on me, waiting for an answer. It felt like a challenge—a challenge not just to my profession, but to my understanding of what it meant to protect others.
