Hello, 

I just signed a petition to stand with Anna Hazare who has committed to 
fast-unto-death, unless the Indian government endorses the powerful new Jan 
Lokpal Bill to tackle the plague of corruption. Across the country people are 
joining this massive public outcry and the pressure is building. Click below to

·   Please watch this YouTube video 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlyyE7wDzNk  to hear T R Raghunandan, the Ex-IAS 
Officer’s speech and see his presentation on corruption in India. You will be 
surprised to see and read why the corrupt ones go scot free and how they get 
the courage for all their corrupt activities, so easily in India.

·Then go to IPaidABribe.com (copy and paste) and register to push for 
anti-corruption laws in India.

Thanks so much,

Here is the original email to forward to your friends:


Dear friends across India,

Right now, Anna Hazare, a 73-year-old Gandhian, sits in the burning sun 
fasting, and he will stay until death -- unless the government agrees to 
consider a powerful law that could rid Indian politics of the scourge of 
corruption.

This “Modern Mahatma” is taking the utmost act of courage and determination to 
push through a bill that would give an independent body the power to punish 
corruption -- even in the Prime Minister’s office. Across the country a 
movement has exploded, and a media storm of pressure has been sparked that’s 
engulfing Singh. But dirty politicians are desperately trying to water down or 
kill the law.

For the first time in forty three years, we have the chance to change the way 
politics is done. Let's join together and stand with Anna Hazare to tackle 
corruption and clean up Indian politics. We have no time to lose -- sign the 
petition to Prime Minister Singh and send this on to everyone:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_anna_hazare/97.php?cl_tta_sign=5579bf66198a52bb063fb00a343463c7

Hazare is championing a citizen-developed bill called “Jan” Lokpal that will 
create an independent body, selected by judges, citizens and constitutional 
authorities, with enough power to investigate and punish all politicians. No 
minister or bureaucrat will be able to influence its investigations.

Since 1968, when this bill was first introduced, greedy politicians have 
thwarted its passing. Now the government is pushing for a watered down Lokpal 
with no hope of ending fraud, vice and dishonesty -- it gives politicians 
overriding power to decide who will be investigated, and is a complete eyewash.

Pressure is mounting on Prime Minister Singh to endorse the "Jan" Lokpal. 
Members of the opposition party have begun to make the right noises in support 
of Anna Hazare. And even the National Advisory Council, a powerful advisory 
body to Sonia Gandhi have come out in favour of the bill. But corrupt 
politicians and vested interests are doing all they can to kill it.

Anna Hazare has set the example. But only a national citizens movement can ramp 
up the pressure to get Singh to endorse “Jan” Lokpal and save Hazare's life. 
Sign the petition and forward it to everyone now:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_anna_hazare/97.php?cl_tta_sign=5579bf66198a52bb063fb00a343463c7

Corruption in politics has become a plague across our country, it is draining 
our resources and demoralizing our nation. This bill would go a long way to 
deterring those that steal and undermine the public good. Last year, the Avaaz 
community in Brazil won an important victory -- against the odds millions of 
people came together and pushed through a historic anti-corruption law. India 
has a proud history of people power overcoming oppression -- today if we all 
stand with one voice we can fight this corruption that is poisoning our 
political system.

With hope,

Saloni, Shibayan, Ricken, Ben and the whole Avaaz team.

Thanks for sharing it WK. 

Where have we heard these before :-)?

Anyway, Raghu gets it, but not fully. That is the unfortunate part, that some 
like Raghu, who has been
in the thick of it and has seen it all, does not quite understand the 
deficiencies or the dysfunction
of the SYSTEM, which he has rightly fingered.

Why do I say that?

Simple:  A mere ratification of the UN Charter on CORRUPTION will go nowhere 
and nothing will
come out of it, until the enforcement and adjudication system is drastically 
CHANGED, made functional!

Why?

It should be clear to anyone who has watched this and have a basic 
understanding of a democratic
society with a respect for what is referred to as DUE PROCESS, ought to know, 
that just because someone
gets CAUGHT with violation of the "RULES" , will ever be held accountable by 
the dysfunctional-desi-system.

The investigators could be unqualified, without resources, underfunded, 
under-quipped, un-trained, politically
influenced and even be corrupted. A crafty lawyer could easily portray the 
evidence to be discredited or show
that they do not measure up to the standards of  justice.

The prosecutor could be incompetent, could be compromised.

The judges could be compromised, exactly by the same forces. Add to that the 
current state of a 30 yr. backlog,
in which the corrupt accused can laugh all the way to his grave.

So, how does anyone held to account?

I am appalled by the this amazing absence of understanding of how the process 
is supposed to work, even by India's best.
I lay the blame to the absence of EDUCATION about WHAT democracy consists of 
and how its institutions are supposed
to work. In the absence of  this knowledge base in the citizenry,  nothing 
really could be expected to change.

But in the meantime, things could be done. I delineated some of those things, 
three or four years back, much to the chagrin 
of some of our friends right here, who were prompt to discredit them :-).
