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

Pl take the "good" forward to meaningful discourse,say in some other forum.

System's approach,of which your crisp account is a meaty part,helps advance the civilisational issue(s).

There's a wide gulf between concept and commissioning,as you would better know.Are there members on this forum who could help advance the causes,partly say through RTI movement?

If on each of the elementary issue one or two members could own up mentorship possibility of taking the matters forward to some logical conclusion would be great.

By the way enormous work in deconstruction of the complex issue of LKB

is already under way and gist of it would be shared in near future.As part of much larger and even more comlex scenario.

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.
