[IAC#RG] Fwd: EDUCATED PEOPLE IN MASSIVE NUMBER SHOULD RESPOND TO ANTI CORRUPTION CAMPAIGN

Dear  Ms Vidyut Kale,

Greetings.

Let us not despair. The powers to be want to "Dumb" down our voice against corruption in all its forms and force us into despair.

We ie you and IAC can and will prevail. The way out is available ( always 02 choices).

Either you take the evil headlong OR debilitate the evil by resistance( like the French resistance Mosquitoes against seemingly all powerful Invading/occupying Germans). You can have ,"Deep Throats".

As our illustrious Gen Apte( Corps of EME)  has explained,"The whole life of an individual is a closed system. You put good or +ve in to it.The same will return to you ,probably/mostly , from an entirely unconnected source.This is the Cosmic nature / compulsion of existence. The same holds true for bad or -ve input".

Now I await your plan of action.

Regards.

LtCol retd TTKishore,Engineers

Fr all me differences with Arundhati Roy, I think she nailed it when she said Satyagraha needs an audience. Audience in India is controlled by the state through media. While you can game headlines once in a while with outstanding effort, it is not possible to sustain it. By design.

Anna found this out the hard way when the fight against corruption in Mumbai clashed with an all important cricket match. That is all it takes. Kejriwal is finding it out now, as each successive effort to do an expose sees media covering more reactions than the expose itself - originally, they covered him, his people extensively, then did own investigations and brought up more data, etc. Witness the Vadra expose. Fast forward to the open letter to Ambani.

The government makes a point of stabbing protests in the back. Be it Kudankulam, be it Kashmir. Be it the Janlkpal Andolan or the rubbish ordinance following after Delhi Gang Rape protests. You confront, govt ducks and weaves. You take a breath, and kaboom.

Protests will not achieve anything.

What we need is clearly defined battles.

Also, fighting corruption is going to take subverting it and destabilizing its foundations. If we can get the corrupt on the back foot and looking over their shoulder for traps, that  is the largest part of the battle. If we can get small but concrete victories to serve as precedents, that will be definite progress.

This cannot happen with declaration of war and meeting head on. We cannot fight organized power and come ut victorious. All we can achieve is putting a dent in already dented reputations.

We need to act quiet and precise and very, very specific. In the sense of replacing "I will end corruption Raj" with "how can I make this one illegal builder's life miserable? How can I teach people that associating with him in any way will rain unwelcome scrutiny?" or "Hw can I subvert this one undesirable process? In how many ways? How can I get people to treat t like the plague?" Then, as resources allow, add causes or people.

That doesn't take too many people.

Vidyut
