It is pointless to support Anna. Even if the Lokpal Bill is passed ,will the corruption will stop? I think not. What is the guarantee that the Lokpal , Lokayukta and members themselves will not be corrupt? Are we sure that they will not take bribe? Ofcourse they will take bribe, they will be after all Indians.
Corruption is in our blood. Our parents start teaching us to take bribe by offering “a bike if you come first in class”. We would rather bribe the policeman than to wear a helmet or wear a seatbelt. We like the black money more than the white money. We blame the Government for being corrupt. But we forget that they represent us. They just have more opportunity to take bribe than us… There was only one Mahatma Gandhi in India, there is only one Anna, but there are countless Kalmadi, Raja, miners, and who not… We should not forget that the corruption is also widespread in business as in government. Remember Guru? (And that was nothing compared to the condition today). As an individual, can you say honestly that given a chance, will you not take bribe? That given a chance, you will not take any money that you don’t deserve? What if you find 1000 rupees note on road? Will you keep it or give it to police (kidding right!?)?
Read in news today about Japan. After five months of the Tsunami, the Japanese are still clearing the rubbles of fallen houses. They found 5700 safes on shore and in the rubble…They returned the safes to officials. And the officials returned them to the right owner. Approx. 7.8 crore dollars found were returned to their owner. Owners who have shifted, no clue where. Their current known address doesn’t exist anymore thanks to Tsunami. Officials don’t know if they are alive or dead. But yet, they were found (are being found) and given their money back. Something to learn. This is something not possible in India.
Sorry Anna!! Even if you get the Lokpal bill to pass, we won’t stop corruption.
Or we will?
