Eugene Correia is right in looking at the positive aspects of India and Goa and the strides it has made in the socio-economic sector. If only corruption had been tamed, how much further would India have Gone with the same resources? One has only to look at China as an example. It is a pity that for this disease called corruption, we have as yet to find a remedy.For this to occur, as I have stated before, a radical change emanating from the top of the political ranks must take place. This is truly a monumental task and will not transpire unless there is a genuine desire on the part of both the electorate AND the elected to be selfless and honest. What India needs, is a type of Democratic Dictatorship of Honest and trustworthy people who, leaving their human desire to enrich themselves at the expense of the people and the country, make it their sole desire to try and metermorphosize the system by providing systems of Governance endowed with strict checks and balance to ensure that the true Tenets of Democracy namely, The rule of the people for the people by the people, are truly observed. Then and only then will there be change in India. When I mention Democratic Dictatorship, I mean a system which has elected representatives sworn to better the lot of the people especially the poor and downtrodden who, in every aspect of humanity always bear the brunt of the attacks from those in power just for being Poor and underlings.
