How to fight corruption

Corruption is not a recent phenomenon. As mentioned by Kautaliya, it comes due to autocracy of the government officials! So, Kautaliya has written "it a very difficult to find a royal employee to not to be corrupt!" He says to control that the king should have special intelligence persons; and the official should be removed from job on any complaint till he is proved not to be guilty. Kautaliya has not suggested any punishment for those who may complaint against the government official wrongly! That was the way in ancient times corruption was under control! But later we have been ruled most of the times by the foreigner's/ invaders' or the people who were not interested in the mass! Naturally those people were just concerned about only their tax collection and not of people's problems and so corruption slowly came deeper and deeper in our society and blood. So much so that in folk song which are thousands of years old, we can see the corrupt methods, bribery, high handedness . . . At present, to remove corruption only following measures can help - (1) first of all people will have to elect honest representatives. Election commission should be authorized to cancel the nomination of those and their first degree relatives if someone has any complaint against him/ her about corruption regarding public money/ property. (2) Vigilance department should be headed by intelligence persons - and whole department should be maintained secretly! (3) Any deposition before any government agency like CBI, police . . . in any condition should be final and no hearing in any court should allowed on that deposition! (4) To prove that someone is not guilty, should be his responsibility - to prove the guilt should not be required to remove some one from the job! (5) If any corruption is unearthed in any office, all the people concerned who were aware about the activity should be punished (so that those around the corrupt people will feel the responsibility to report the ongoing corruption). (6) If report of corruption is found true that official should be awarded with life term rigorous imprisonment and all his properties should be taken over by the government. He must lose the job on complaint! Many more things can be added . . . But these are basics . . . . Without these the fight against corruption will remain on the road or at the most on the paper. Anna Hazare should change the track and demand the law to not to allow the people with corruption charges, proved or unproved, to fight the elections! He should also invite all the people with like minds like Baba Ramdeo . . . if they are not just show biz doing the lip services! . . . getting some extra official for some thing is not going to have any control on corruption. We need to start clearing from the top - thats parliament! Jai Hind!
