Apathy of Indian Nation

Today Team Kejriwal gave the Indian nation 4th dose of expose on corruption and the government's unwillingness, helplessness and perhaps compulsion not to tackle this malaise. The whole country has been  a witness to the criticism of the team's efforts on grounds of shoot and scoot nature of these expose, not providing a foolproof/sufficient evidence for his expose and not taking everything raised by them to the logical finish to a court case.

To an unbiased and nation loving commoner the following things come to mind which somehow or the other escape the attention of people who govern this nation. 

• The main points raised by the team so far should not be taken as isolated cases of corruption but as pointers to the systemic muck prevailing in the country in the form of politician industrialist nexus and inadequacy of laws and intentions to fight this monstrous menace of corruption. Surprisingly in India such instances are  the rule of the game rather than an exception and deserve topmost priority in terms of systemic changes.

• Whenever there is a pointer to some modus operandi which is brought to the attention of the government which results in windfall gains and creation of black money, it is the responsibility of the government to investigate and plug loopholes at the speed of light so that the government, country and its masses do not have to suffer again and again through the same route by the powerful and mighty of the nation.

• All the rags to riches stories are a result of manipulations of government policies on allocation of national resources, government and community land and change of land use, licences and quotas and it is a naked fact that the beneficiaries invariably belong to polity and those close to power corridors. 

Team Kejriwal must be lauded rather than condemned for bringing out and highlighting these facts. Many a time the nation is told that there is nothing new in the expose and all information is there in the public domain. His efforts in bringing about an awakening of the general public to the biggest problem facing  the country will ultimately prove to be a watershed event in the country's march to prosperity.
