oneoffdocumentary, country, people

According to an Indian law, on the death of a policeman his title is transmitted to his eldest son. He is officially considered a police officer, even if he is still a minor. Thus it happens that 4-year-old children work in khaki uniforms, doing simple tasks such as preparing coffee and filing files. Thus a salary is guaranteed to families who have lost their head of household. The children earn the same salary as their father. At 18 they do not need to pass a competition to be admitted to the police, but can be integrated into the service immediately. Under conditions that they have finished school and are at least 1.68 meters tall.
