Re: [IAC++] [HumJanenge] Plan to Prevent Corruption & other Democratic Evils

Dear Sarbajit

Thank you for the pains taken in analysing the points raised by me and responding. My objective is not so much as to be argumentative but to raise certain issues which, in my opinion, must necessarily be taken into consideration for any such battles against the powerful to be successful. And the issues raised are real, even if they have to be taken with a pinch of salt, and apply to the vast majority of the populace. None of my statements are absolutes nor do I stake a claim that the opposites do not exist.  Nor do I cast any aspersions on the knowledge of the people in the group or the sincerity of their efforts. I do appreciate the work being done which is the reason why I am even taking the trouble of putting down and mailing my thoughts. Keeping these points I am raising in mind and applying the necessary correction to neutralise their effects would only enhance the probability of success of your efforts

I do not say an individual cannot score success in battling with the powerful. It is just that the numbers who do not is many orders of magnitude more than the numbers who do succeed.  This again for various reasons, some correctable and many part of the system 

I would not discredit or simply brush aside the contribution and comments by "armchair critics" Many such critics are voicing their opinions based on their experience and knowledge and operating from their armchairs for the simple reason they are unable to do otherwise for various, very valid, situation imposed, constraints when, given the choice, they would be more actively and directly involved

The ones in the driving seat always have the prerogative of operating the controls and taking the decisions on how things should be run and anything other than that can only result in the derailment of the process, But dissenting voices are signals the must be paid heed to

Regards and best wishes
Nandhu
