Nepotism is a form of corruption. It is favoritism to one's relatives.
Corruption is a result of, and in some ways, a symptom of larger disease, the problems inherent in democracy which is subverted by human greed. Economic policy formulated by politicians corrupted by corporate lobbies and corrupt politicians extracting their 'pound of flesh' from such lobbies for favors, is a prime cause.
We could work together to fight this menace thrugh various weapons available to the Aam Aadmi, like RTI, commenting or articles in print and TV media, exposing the nexus between media, corporates political parties and politicians.
Let us not allow ourselves be divided and ruled by these people.
For this we need to form groups that would take up causes and mobilize public opinion for affirmative action. First, we should, through reading and gathering of knowledge on matters of public interest, become competent to initiate such affirmative action.
For example, how would we take a position on say, FDI in retail? Is it good or bad? If either, why?
This is just an example to show the need to study areas for action
I have taken up two causes. One is UID. The other is a local issue at Bangalore - SWM.
Those interested could join me in either or both.
I plan interventions in FDI,Judicial reform, economic policy and electoral reform.

Mathew

The only way to eradicate corruption from public life is to implement the rule of law in this country. implement the act of citizen charter, the lokpal bill n RTI in a effective manner. Though the main disease is the corruption in high places but it is multiplied by so many smaller diseases like poor education, unregulated poor welfare schemes, population n poor awareness of the people of its overall effect on the development of the nation. Our politicians n babus take full advantage of this weakness of ours.

Dear all,
I too like what Sarbajit, Anil, Mahesh, Pratik and others have written.
We need to find a sure way to eliminate corruption and create a near level playing field for the 1.2 billion.
I think one sure way would be to demonetize currency in stages so that we remove Rs. 1000 and Rs. 500 currency notes from circulation to eliminate big corruption and fake currencies. The surrendered amounts can be updated in the respective bank accounts. Next phase Rs. 100 and Rs. 50 can be demonetized.
Instead of cash, Biometric Smart card linked to a money account as Debit Card can be issued for tracking all transactions.
What do others think of this idea?

Dear Mr Sarbajit,Great to read Mr Anil's description. The nation is grappling with the most complex problem perpetrated for the last 65 years by the pol class and babudom where solution is not easy to find and actually much more difficult to implement. The only thing simple to practice and common to all 1.2 bn we the people is to brace our selves to exert unlimited pressure upon all governments to implement things like Jan Lokpal, NeGP and many other generally accepted political and governance reforms. Economy would grow in any case despite the government but freedom from most of the corruption so as to breathe clean air would need the might of the nation. Let there be no doubt, every citizen irrespective of caste, creed and community is an integral part of this transformation and all of us are doing service and even those who are leading such movements are actually demonstrating their leadership by service.Once again echoing Mr Anil Behl's golden advice.Jai Hind.With warm regards,

Dear Anil
Great to hear from you after all these years (35 yrs ?) Never knew that you were into this IAC type stuff (we probably got it from studying Moral Science). People like us can engineer a solution.

Friends,Intent is an important start. Talk is a follow up. But what is crucial is the WALK. Good people do what they say – they WALK THE TALK!Most importantly, let us not be judgmental of anyone, especially when each one of us (including myself) does several wrong things every day (from telling white lies, to bribing a cop to bunking a red signal to losing our cool, to hatred for many)Do not judge, for each one of us shall surely be judged when our time comes.God bless and transform this Nation.Anil
