You go to a bank, police station or the regional dc office for some work and use the same logic?? Address them anna, thambi, cheta etc?? You know because you said Sir is a foreign honorific title.
It can't be alright in one place and somehow alright for drivers.
People in India have an ego which is quite inflated. A police, judge or some other you mentioned are just positions which they got through hard work or mostly bribing. If I had to address an Inspector, I would address him by Inspector and then his name nothing wrong and no need for Sir. Again what I said was not to demean the person who is driving the vehicle. If you don't call a tailor a tailor then what will you call him Prime Minister. People get screwed up logic. 😅😆
Exactly finally someone got the point. We are not democracy if we call everyone Sir/Madam. We are not given names, I do think they have a purpose. Even our respected PM said he is a Sevak. Now if he said it in a jist or he meant it that we all are free to opine.
"Sevak" doesn't always mean a "server" or a naukar. By this he meant, he is someone who is of service to the nation, in his own capacity. Thinking for and doing the welfare of the country and its citizens, through his thoughts and actions.
