[arkitectindia] Our PM on Corruption-An observation

[Guest guest]

A short suggestion. 

CBI or anybody else- corrupt or non-corrupt, criminals or sadhus -all are made of the same materials. So no guarantee of how and when who will act in what way. I believe in the awareness and resolution/ determination of the general mass (>90% of India's population) to stand and act against such wrong forces operating in the society in different garb. The only way for our clean survival can be keeping the people awake and alert.  Our business as intellectuals will be to keep them informed and alert against such mischiveous act of whosoever he is-PM, Other Ministers, Govt Managers, Bureaucrats, Political leaders, Capitalists, Education mafias, businessmen, hoarders, black marketeers, smugglers, criminals or corrupt individuals and collective.

Thank you Dr. Sharma for launching this discussion on he PM's speech

on corruption.

 

Role Models crisis in India is where we should start. Edmund Burke

said something like this, " Mankind learns its lessons only at the feet

of examples and from nowherelese " .

 

How one wishes the CBI resolutely refused to be manipulated/controlled

by the  unseen powers and hidden exploiters and brought out the simple

truth on the Bofors scandle specially.
