(Photos: Instagram) A footpath is no place for motorcycles, and three young men in Jaipur made that point without saying a word.
When bikers followed them along the pedestrian path and repeatedly honked for them to move, the men simply kept walking.The incident, filmed near Tonk Phatak Puliya in Rajasthan, has gone viral as people applauded the trio for refusing to give way to vehicles in a space meant for pedestrians.Identified as Surya Pratap Singh Rathore, Divyansh Singh Bhati and Lakshya Chaudhary, the three men appeared unfazed by the motorcycles trailing them. Despite the persistent honking, they neither stepped aside to clear the way nor got into a confrontation with the riders.Instead, they continued their walk, forcing the bikers to move slowly behind them.
The exchange was captured by a person travelling in a passing car, who could be heard cheering the pedestrians on. “Badhiya, badhiya, badhiya, ye footpath aap logon ke hi liye hai (Very good, very good, very good, this footpath is meant for you),” they said.Watch the video here: The video has drawn praise from viewers who believe the men were right to use the footpath without yielding to motorcycles. For many, the riders' decision to honk at pedestrians, rather than stay off the walkway, was the more striking part of the encounter.Several users backed the trio for making their point without resorting to shouting or physical confrontation.
Others questioned the growing tendency of motorists to use pedestrian spaces to bypass traffic, leaving people on foot to negotiate their way around vehicles.The clip has resonated with viewers because the men did not need a heated exchange to assert their right to walk safely. They kept moving, while the repeated honking did little to change their course.- Ends
