I also suspect that corruption in India plays a role - if policemen are constantly hassling people you know and extorting bribes it may change your outlook on that particular profession. I don't think the respect we have for law enforcement in this country is unwarranted.

This also probably explains the low respect the police get in certain communities in the US - cops harass black Americans a lot and get very low respect in the black community.
