In spite of the huge noise made in the print and visual media about the anti corruption movement in India, the ground reality is that there is no improvement in the situation. Obviously, this means that street demonstrations, debate in television media, , seminars , comments in twitter , blogs and face books cannot take the movement forward.
What is conspicuous is that while the corrupt people demand bribe for any activity and even for cremation of human bodies, almost all people simply pay the bribe money and sometimes after negotiation. The corrupt people seem to have the last laugh now, as they see that "barking dogs seldom bite"
What is required is intense and dedicated resistance to corruption at individual level, which is not forthcoming. This calls for sacrifice on the part of the people who want to fight against corruption. Even some of the most vociferous people against corrupt conditions simply pay the bribe and get things done and then complain. They plead excuse saying that they are helpless. This is unacceptable situation and such conditions mean that the anti corruption movement is carried out in vacuum.
Unless there would resistance to corruption at individual level by atleast small section of committed population, the movement will not go anywhere. Why not those committed to fight corruption take a oath that they will never succumb to pay bribe under any circumstances and announce this in public domain?
