Politics is the best business in India. All that is required to be successful in politics is the capacity to fool people and kill one's honesty and conscience and there lies the secret of success.
Do not compare politics and social service. Expecting from politicians a selfless service to the country and its citizens is perhaps asking for a little too much. After all politicians are also human beings and like all human beings invariably fall prey to one or more of the baser instincts like lust for money, wine, woman and power.
'Give me your blood and I promise you freedom', said Netaji Subhash Chander Bose. Present day leaders of India seem to be saying, ' Give us your vote and we promise you eternal miseries'
Being Incorruptible is a possibility for a single individual. But in a democracy running a government and making laws is a collective activity and needs a lot of compromises and many a time closing your eyes and ears.
