    “The INDIAN SOCIETY AND PUBLIC LIFE HAS BEEN OVERRUN BY CORRUPTION FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE PARTY OR PARTIES IN POWER, THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE DAY HAVE AT BEST SOUGHT TO PLAY IT DOWN, OFFERED IT TACIT SUPPORT AND AT WORST CONNIVED WITH THE PERPETRATORS”. SCAMS, FRAUDS AND OTHER GRAFT CASES ARE DETECTED WITH OVERWHELMING RAPIDITY AND THE LATEST ONES SURPASS OLDER ONES IN TECHNIQUE AND FIGURES INVOLVED. “MANY PEOPLE ARE DYING OF HUNGER. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH DEATHS? HUNGRY CHILDREN IN TRIBAL INDIA SHOW HOW THE NATION IS FAILING ITS POOREST AND FURTHERING THE MAOIST REBELLION. IS IT ANY WONDER OUR POLITICIANS SEE NAXALISM AS A MILITARY PROBLEM; THAT THEY TALK OF WAGING WAR IN THE POOREST STATES OF INDIA AGAINST ITS POOREST CITIZENS; THAN ACTING AGAINST POVERTY? KEEPING THE POOR ALWAYS POOR, SO THAT THEY DREAM ONLY FOR FOOD. “CORRUPTION HAS BECOME A LOW-RISK AND HIGH-PAYING ACTIVITY THAT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHEN THE GOVERNMENT INCREASES THE ALLOCATION FOR POVERTY ALLEVIATION SCHEMES RUNNING INTO THOUSANDS OF CRORES OF RUPEES, IN WHICH THE MONEY, INSTEAD OF REACHING THE INTENDED BENEFICIARIES, IS SIPHONED ALONG THE WAY? “POLITICAL SUPPORT CAN BE LEVERAGED BY NOT PROCEEDING AGAINST CORRUPT POLITICIANS. TODAY WE HAVE COME TO ACCEPT IT AS LEGITIMATE MOBILIZATION OF SUPPORT IN PARLIAMENT; A’DHARMA HAS BECOME THE DHARMA OF COALITION POLITICS “. “THE BJP/LEFT-SPONSORED CUT MOTION WAS DEFEATED BY THE CONGRESS THROUGH THE EXPEDIENT MEANS OF CUTTING DEALS WITH THREE TAINTED LEADERS FACING PROSECUTION FOR AMASSING WEALTH BEYOND THEIR KNOWN SOURCES OF INCOME”. HOWEVER, THERE ARE MINISTERS WHO HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF EARNING THOUSANDS OF CRORES THROUGH XYZ DEALS OR AGRICULTURAL IMPORTS. IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT THE INDIAN POLITICAL CLASS HAS COLLECTIVELY SHOWN A DISTINCT LACK OF INTEREST IN PURSUING THE BLACK MONEY STASHED AWAY IN SWITZERLAND AND LICHTENSTEIN”. WHAT’S WORSE IS THAT THE ROT HAS SPREAD EVERYWHERE: FROM THE INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT, CUSTOMS, DEFENSE FORCES AND IPS TO HEALTH SERVICES AND EDUCATION. IN THE RAJYA SABHA, MINISTER OF STATE IN CHARGE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL AND TRAINING PRITHVIRAJ CHAVAN SAID, “AS ON MARCH 31, 2010, THE NUMBER OF IAS AND IPS OFFICERS FACING TRIAL FOR CRIMINAL CHARGES IN CBI CASES IS 84 AND 33 FOR THE TWO RESPECTIVE CATEGORIES”. ”INDEPENDENT INDIA IS BEING ROBBED OF ITS RESOURCES NOT BY FOREIGNERS BUT BY ITS OWN CITIZENS”.
