Re: 05 - [rti4empowerment] Re: Anna Hazare.

Anna Hazare's effort has once again proved one thing that common man and below( except for a sprinkling of celebrities)  are together in an eventuality and that is the strength of the contry and also the politicians' radar for winning the vote! This roughly constitute 80% of the population which include 1/3rd of the world's poor in India! As far as Lok pal is concerned, as my understanding goes, it perhaps instill a certain amount of fear about the possible punishment at a quicker pace! This, no doubt, can retard the crime (corruption) in the lower strata of our population, who of course have been at the receiving end then, now and going to be!  We have had corrupt people who were (are?) heading institutions which were supposed to dispense justice! Making of Lokpal and passing the bills do not, however, guarantee that corruption will not infect the institutions or the personnel therein!  There is a movement gathering momentum at present, as we all know, to bring back money stashed in Swiss banks! But before we clean up the country of corruption and the manipulators the money so brought, if at all, will sublime into nothingness, as if adding a few truck loads  of salt in to the ocean!! The wrong doers by now must have researched and  found out ways and means to siphon out these monies! as soon as they are released! I am not very optimistic about Lokpal bill and the consequences but if  accountability is fixed with every public servant in a time frame of 3 days, in any case not more than a week, along with the new bill , may be this would instill  certain amount of responsibilities! Today if you visit govt. office it is most likely, even for things which are just handy, to ask you to come after 2 days, week, 15 days, 3 months and so on and if one has to struggle to make both ends meet a repeat visit is remote as in the first visit itself you are drained of your energy and enthusiasm by the very attitude of the govt.servant! If a common man insists chasing this mirage, he is bound to loose his means of lively hood! Assuming that the Lokpal bill is going to be implemented soon the " professional wrong doers" must already be designing ways and means to deal with Lok pal - which at the moment is projected as a "Chakravyuh"! Let us keep knocking, a door will open!!    --- On Sun, 17/4/11, Dr. Jagnarain Sharma <dr.jagnarainsharma@gmail.com> wrote: From: Dr. Jagnarain Sharma <dr.jagnarainsharma@gmail.com> Subject: Re: 05 - [rti4empowerment] Re: Anna Hazare.
