You have aptly identified the core points. Corruption and non-delivery of essential public services are 2 faces of the same coin. One begets the other.
Educated urban people (by and large) are too self-centred and not prepared to help anyone other than themselves. Unfortunately they are so wrapped up in themselves and their petty problems that they cannot even recognise the enemy responsible for corruption when they see it every morning in their bedroom mirror.

Since corruption adversely affects the undeducated and the poor even more in the urban and the rural areas; educated people should mobilise the support of all classes behind the campaign against corruption and for efficient,,quick and effective delivery of public services.Confining it to only the educated is most likely to fail as we have seen it so far.This is a 'devasur' sangram in which every resource must be brought together to unite against the enemy whose strength and resilience should not be underestimated.Vinay ShankarOn 12 February 2013 20:32, Venkatraman Ns <nsvenkatchennai@gmail.com> wrote:
EDUCATED PEOPLE IN MASSIVE NUMBER SHOULD RESPONDTO ANTI CORRUPTION CAMPAIGN
India today faces challenging problems on multiple fronts. However, the basics of the country are still strong , as evident from the national disgust against the forces of corruption.
The problem is that the country's administration is largely under the control of the corrupt people who can be described as commission agents.
Strong and vocal public opinion and passive resistance (such as Gandhiji's non cooperation movement) can alone challenge the corrupt elements, who now constitute the largest segment of the politicians in all political parties.
The patriotic men and women should make the anti corruption sentiments as the central theme in any activity and in any discussion in any forum and constantly send communication opposing the corrupt persons in government and in political parties at every opportunity. They should not become part of the corrupt system under any circumstances and refuse to pay bribe and in the process whatever the sacrifices that are needed should be made willingly.
The biggest corruption is taking place amongst the people in the middle and upper income group who are supposed to be educated and well informed. The poor people who are forced to pay bribes are helpless and they are too weak to resist. But, this is not so in the case of those belonging to middle and upper income group. Certainly, they can afford to resist in their own way and when they do not do so , they should be held responsible for the climate of corruption that is now sweeping the nation.
The people in the middle and upper income group should come forward and resist at their own level , which need not mean demonstration or violence. Simple refusal to heed to the demand for bribe by large number of concerned and educated people will work wonders in defeating the corrupt forces.
While other forms of anti corruption movement such as moving the judiciary , using RTI etc. should continue , the individual resistance will enhance the quality of the movement to the highest standards and infuse vigour and purpose.
Let all of us decide that the message of anti corruption should spread everywhere by passive resistance at individual level and let it culminate in 2014 elections for good. Such strong campaign will encourage honest people to contest in the elections and give an opportunity to bring the anti corruption issue as the focus of 2014 election.N.S.VenkataramanNandini Voice For The DeprivedChennaiEmail:- nsvenkatchennai@gmail.com
