In our country there are multitude of issues and so called problems.
There are no straight solutions to them.
What I mean is that if you adopt a certain action the result would be resolution of all ills / problems
In my meagre thinking the approach should be - to chart out stages, from where we are, to where we want to go. Tackle major issues first.
In this process there would be confusion during the transition but if the clarity of vision is maintained, the goal is achievable.
stages could be:
root out the present govt which has created the mess we are in, and is arrogant about it - prevent it to coming to power.
support well intentioned new outfits like aam admi party, Baba ramdev'sparty, others if any so that they can act as pressure groups in Parl
Pressurise the next govt to act against the corrupts of the present regimes and perform.
Apart from this efforts by public / media and other organisation to continue relentlessly to expose the corruption / inefficiency / abuse of power
there can be a chance that the smaller outfits that we support / elect may compromise, in that event the future of the smaller entities would be doomed
That the chance we have to take.

Dear Sir,
While I appreciate the efforts of 'Aam Admi" movement, we are
forgetting the basic factor of 'corruption of mind'. We need to carry
out 'dialysis of national character'. So that the individual becomes
clean.
The definitions and cementics of Good Black and White Black money are
all wastage of time. Today over 57% rural India is not literate. They
are gradually getting exposed to the new raelities of life. You have
talked about the profits of small vendors, what about his losses? What
about the f'ree fund parasites' who harrass them?
Getting clean loans and maintaining accounts for them are cumbersome.
They have to depend on money lenders who charge upto 60 % interest
because 40 % loan is never get recovered by them. Or they are helped
by para banking. Why confine ourselves to rural areas, the venders or
pheriwalas also depend on money lenders as they cannot mortgage any
thing to get bank loans. How do you answer that? Why 'Aam AAdmi
crusaders do no take care of that?
Good to make slogan and be sensational crusaders for media hype,
please get to the roots of the problem and clean the minds and
organise dialysis of National Character.
Warm regards.
