It is easier said than done - OK, I want to resist paying a bribe to get my job done - So what happens? - First I am harassed, my work will not be done, I will make several trips leaving my other jobs and livelihood, I complain to Lokayukta, the case will drag on for 10-15 years with constant harassment to me and finally he may be fined Rs 100/-, but still my job is not done - Ordinary people just cannot afford this - I need to get on with my life - There are 100s of things to be got done on a daily basis - It is very easy to say if EVERYBODY do not pay then corruption ends, it can never happen - There has to be some deterrent and some fear in the person asking bribe that something really bad will happens if takes a bribe (you can't just appeal to his conscious to do his job) - We in India do not have any such system - when I mention 'Emergency period' where corruption just stopped the moment emergency was declared (there was no visible action anywhere - everybody started doing their job), I am condemned and would not like to take a lesson from it - Solution lies elsewhere - We are talking something which is impractical - Action has to come from Top - bottom up does not work.

In full concurrence with Mr. Venkataraman. Corruption, like charity, begins at home and it should be resisted from our doorstep itself. Unless each one of us do our bit in preventing corruption in any form in day to day matters, no use clamouring for Lokpals and Lokayuktas or CVC and CBI.Regards,
D.S.Ranga Rao

In the past , it has been seen that those who were hailed as leaders of anti corruption movement have used the leadership position as platform to gain power and then become corrupt themselves.The real central issue in the country today is there is little resistance to corruption and fleecing at ground level.Resistance to small corruption will certainly have a chain effect and will put fear in the minds of the corrupt people at various levels in the course of time.Swami Vivekananda said "Give me 100 energetic young men and I shall transform India". The message of Swami Vivekananda is loud and clear. Obviously, what he stressed was that small group of people with determination to fight for the cause of probity and truth and defy unjust conditions can alone transform India.One cannot but recall that much publicised anti corruption movement launched by Anna Hazare lost its appeal too quickly, since Anna Hazare was only insisting on Lokpal and improvement of governance without making any efforts to improve the mindset of average Indian.The country now urgently needs such role models in nooks and corners. Such persons need not shout or agitate but should silently defy unjust demands at individual level.The campaign for corrupt free and nepotism free governance and ensuring corrupt free politics can certainly be achieved by a silent revolution on the part of the concerned Indians, who are now all over India in lakhs. They need to act at their own level and when sizable number of concerned citizens act even without any coordination , the positive impact will be seen sooner than later.The society and the media may not immediately recognise them but their act of courage and conviction will slowly percolate and give confidence to others that such defiance towards the cause of truth is possible by individuals and would be worthwhile. Such crusaders need to have patience and faith in the ultimate triumph of good over evil.
