Internal decay is sometimes more dangerous to the prosperity of the nation than external aggression. The decay can emanate not only from the cancer of corruption & criminalisation of society but also neglect of responsibilities by citizens .
INDIA is bleeding . Politicians, high net-worth individuals and private companies are found to be the primary drivers of illicit flows out of India's private sector as per the GFI report recently. The same money that is illegally taken out of the system is laundered , recycled and brought back into the country (like PNs) and used to drive up share markets, hoard and raise prices of essential commodities (including vegetables ); build real estate empires and operate mafiadoms that adds more to their kitty .Hence the word ‘mafia' is increasingly used in the media these days. We have the sand mafia, the land mafia, the fuel mafia, the food adulteration mafia, the builder mafia, the hawala mafia, the port mafia, and even the vegetable mafia .
To protect their interests and keep this illicit mill running, the triad- involving the corrupt business class, the political class and the executive today will do everything possible to stop the common man from getting to the truth or doing anything about it. RTI activists being killed ; a sub-collector being burnt alive , pushing the PCI report on paid news under the carpet ; investigative journalists being murdered ; Corrupt Ministers filing lawsuits against activists ;Govt brutally beating-up peaceful demonstrators against corruption and hindering a strong Lokpal bill are all testimony to a sinister plot to hide the truth .
Meanwhile a frenzy of greed and ambition has been unleashed , never before seen in Indian history and defying all values and ethics that Indian society was known for . Today it has reached a point wherein the Indian state or the corrupt people that the 'system' permits to run India and every institution in India today, are actually destroying the ‘Indian psyche ‘ and moulding a society against its will into a divisive , greedy ,unethical, hobbesian society where man-eats-man and ‘sab kuch chaltha hai’.
Every politician , govt official, corporate owner or journalist who is part of this triad nexus and who is exposed - every one of them shamelessly covers up and denies any wrongdoing, with the confidence that they would be eventually bailed out since those in glass houses cannot afford to throw stones. Not one of them gets convicted thus nor jailed nor is their illicit wealth confiscated . The 'corrupt empire' moves on. The moral fabric of the nation thus seems to be tearing apart in the absence of an optimal governance system, characterised by a near total absence of accountability; where loyalty takes precedence over the sense of one's duty, and where national interests are often, and with impunity, subjugated to individual gains..

If Egypt can do it , cannot Indians do it ? To throw everyone of these corrupt cancerous creatures out, who run the Indian “state” today in the peoples’s name. We are not a poor country. We have been made to believe that we are poor . The country's assets worth billions of dollars are being given away cheaply or being siphoned away by our politicians and corporates. 2G, CWG , S-band , KG basin oil scams run into hundreds of thousands of crores , while same time on the pretext of "lack of resources" the Planning Commission recently redefined "below poverty line " for Indians to even below Sub- Saharan Africa and 1/3rd levels stipulated by World Bank !! India is losing nearly Rs.240 crores every 24 hours, on average, in illegal financial flows out of the country (GFI report). The nation is bleeding .Time is running out very fast.
Citizens must not become passive or impotent lest we perpetrate many a sad crime against our own national responsibilities and social duties . FELLOW INDIANS - WE MUST ACT NOW !
LET US DO OUR LITTLE BIT ......ATLEAST FOR THE SAKE OF THE NEXT GENERATION . Speaking out or standing up for what we believe in, will generate the critical mass and momentum that we need to then bring about the change we want to see.
