[HumJanenge] Corruption is only a symptom of India's real diseases

Corruption for me is not the disease to be attacked.
Let me list out some reals diseases for India so that we acknowledge them.

1) POPULATION
(Too many people means too many poor people)

2) RELIGION
(Too many poor people means you need social devices like religion to control them)

3) EXCESSIVE GOVERNMENT
(Too many poor people means that you need "subsidies" and other economic distorters to keep them in check /silent). I say Govt should only be in core areas - defence, foreign policy, law and order, economic management and regulation in the following areas - health, education, food, and basic infrastructure.

Symptoms of these diseases manifest themself as

1) CORRUPTION / NEPOTISM / DYNASTIC SUCCESSION
2) SUBVERSION OF DEMOCRATIC STRUCTURES AND INSTITUTIONS
3) FORMATION OF PARALLEL EXTRA-STATUTORY POWER CENTERS

You will not see even a single Politician or development NGO having the courage to say these in public.
