i have been noticing in the last few weeks tht all and sundry consider pooh poohing the corrupt ways of us Indians a fad. this obviously means that the pseudo-intellectuals (read out of work writers, playwrights, irrelevant politicians, diplomats etc) are having a field day.. gleaming to the camera and huffing and puffing over the current scenario of the corruption in the nation.. i feel from their expression is that the only thing that they are really sad about is the fact that they are not getting their share in the pie.
i am not condoning corruption or conceding it a the way things in India work. NO.. corruption must eradicated.. or atleast brought within manageable limits (wht does tht mean????) so at least the citizens can afford to pay the desired bribe to the concerned people.
but the only thing that is really bothering me is the vigilante custodians of the society, the Hazare, Ramdev et al.... tell me who the heck gave this ppl the right to call them my representative and negotiate on my behalf???? if it is indeed the mandate of these people to help teh general citizenry of the nation why do they not come up for elections and get elected from amongst the people. they shall then be the representatives of the people in the rue sense..
they could then go raise these issues in the parliament like civilised people and not blackmail the nation (including the lame govt) by sitting on dharnas, fasts etc which are nothing more than image building exercises and a massage for their own egos because tell me WHAT HAVE THESE PEOPLE ACHIEVED FOR THE NATION OUT OF THIS GIMMICK??? AND THEY CALL THEM SELVES..... CIVIL SOCIETY .. wudnt civil society mean that the respect the law of the land????
