Lokpal Bill 2011 (?)

India never lacked laws, rather its' their enactment. Hawking, Traffic, Tax-Evasion, Pollution, Civic Contracts et al, are not in a mess due to lack of law, rather due to lack of their implementation. I'm not cynical, but not yet a believer either.

During the last two weeks, the Indian Government has been witness to the overwhelming force of public opinion pertaining to Corruption in Public Office. The UPA Government tried every trick in its' book from ridicule, merciless character assasination, fradulent charges and - as witness yesterday from the speech of an undeserving leader - denial of fitness of purpose.

I hate that politician, especially after learning about his truth from Subramanian Swamy's video on youtube.com, and such individuals, not content at sucking the Indian resource-pool dry for decades, take recourse of such antics at every opportunity they get.

Anyway, coming back to the point, a strong Lokpal Bill, will make it immensely difficult for those occupying public office to indulge in corruption, but there is a tremendous will amongst the bureaucracy to make the most of the powers given to them, and as the old adage goes - where there's a will, there's a way.

I am sure the bureaucrats will find their way out of the Citizens' Charter, with fine print that will overwhelm citizens in its' interpretation. The Lokpals & Lokayuktas' if appointed by the government can be as powerful as our current President or Lok-Sabha Speaker, and lastly, the lower bureaucracy will find cover under its' sheer volumes.

Status Quo? Perhaps not, there is always a turning point in the path of darkness, it seldom leads to daylight immediately, rather it assures one that every step taken leads you away from darkness. Yes, India has taken that the right steps, but, the day of celebration is too far away!

Trust Vote: Thoughts

1. Bihar is blessed with some of the best politicians and brains within this country.
2. Crowning of the Congress GenNext is inevitable...
3. Congress successfully applied the time-tested methodology of "Use a thorn to remove a thorn", hell if it took money to bring brain-dead folks to toe the govt line, so be it. If MPs were indeed given money, it would represent the best investment UPA ever did.
4. Karated - A new phrase meaning, "to fall flat on your face on a rock-hard surface, while trying to maximize your ill-gotten fame". Undue lobbying almost always leaves you Karated.
5. Only P. Chidambaram has an organic human brain amongst all the politicians, remainder are just brain donation beneficiaries.
6. Do not surf using Linux, as that might corrupt your floor finish. No its' not absurb, atleast not to Mayawati, and her twistd logic.
