Here is a thinking man!
Thanks for sharing.
I wished he would write about the causes in more detail. That would help.
Glad he also explained:
A common response to these has been: At least Hazare is doing something; what

My response to that is that firstly, as the
Nice piece. It is always so easy to view the problem of corruption related
ills as one of personal morality; that it happens because the people who have
discretionary power, particularly politicians, are fundamentally bad people.
If they are replaced by good people, the outcome will be
Very well said Santanu.

Good to hear from you, Santanu. Don't see you much these days.
While i agree with you in principle that if the system of governance is very
good, most things work out fine, i think there are other issues as well.
I feel that for a country to function well, it has to have good governance,
Allow me to butt in here A.
No one is questioning the need for personal integrity. Your Bor-deuta is a
good example. Question you should be asking
is why HE had to QUIT? Where is the institutional support system that should
reward good behavior and punish
bad? It is THIS absence that breeds

It is too bad that I am not there to enjoy the cultural programs and the good
food and to meet with the people and may be even win one of prizes that uu guys
are giving. :). I saw

So, I guess there is no escape from it, is there :-)?
The fallacy here Alpana is that you are so stuck on the good people, bad people
mantra, you cannot
divorce yourself from the notion that a few or perhaps a lot good folks is all
you need for salvation.
The fact is that people
There is a fallacy in separating the system from the people completely. It is
after all the people who make and install the system (political/administrative
in this case). The system did not suddenly arrive from outer space.ALSO The
same very people use or abuse the system.
You indicated that

What s your logic?

Explain this as well, C'da.
BTW, I did not dismiss Santanu's analysis, just analyzed it myself. Are you

What is your own perception A? Share your view of how things happen, how
corruption happens.

a different explanation. Tell us about it and we will see if it holds water :-).
