Thank you, Sanjib-da, for forwarding this article. It is not a coincidence that the anti-corruption movement is called the Transparency International. (http://www.transparency.org/). Right to information and transparency in governance is indeed the way to go forward. I hope the scope of RTI in India is further extended so that greater public participation, or at least scrutiny, in public affairs and governance becomes possible. x ____________________________________________________________________________________ The fish are biting.
