Recently, Haryana DGP O.P. Singh said,
"All the troublemakers drive Thars and Bullets… your vehicle choice reflects your mindset. Whoever owns a Thar must have a twisted mind."
The internet exploded after this comment — but don’t jump to conclusions before reading the full story.
Back in August, a LinkedIn user named Vineet KKN Panchhi shared two emotional posts about the Thar.
For Vineet, the Thar was once an escape mode — not for show-offs, speed, or selfies, but for peace, mountains, and self-discovery. 🏔️
He called it his “permission slip to escape” — a rugged yet graceful ride that connected him to nature and himself.
He was a die-hard Thar lover… until things changed. 😬
Then came the redesign — Thar became more stylish, practical, and desirable. But soon, a certain kind of crowd started buying it.
👎 Blacked-out windows. Deafening bass speakers. Caste stickers. Rash driving. Toll-gate drama.
The Thar slowly transformed into a “nightclub on wheels” — or worse, a “road bully machine.”
Now when Vineet spots a Thar in his rearview mirror, it doesn’t remind him of mountains or adventure — it reminds him of his school’s strict PT teacher… and fear. 😅
After witnessing viral clips of Thars overspeeding or causing accidents, Vineet wrote an open letter to Mahindra Group Chairperson Anand Mahindra with a few strong suggestions:
💡
➡️ Don’t sell Thars outright — lease them, earn them, learn to use them.
➡️ Make training and a code of conduct mandatory.
➡️ Misuse the brand? Take the car back.
He summed it up perfectly:
"Just like mountains need preservation, so does the dignity and legacy of the Thar."
In two heartfelt LinkedIn posts, Vineet evolved from a Thar enthusiast to a concerned citizen — saying one thing loud and clear:
“Thar deserves better.”
And perhaps his most powerful line —
“Protect the weak… on the road, and off it.”
So, do you also feel uneasy when you see a Thar on the road?
