How to curb corruption in India: Do we need a Lokpal?

My this writing is in continuation of my previous blog - http://indian-neurosurgeon.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-to-fight-corruption.html
Friends, corruption has entered in our blood. Its almost human . . . its almost Indian! But corruption at top must be curbed!!! Because it has crossed all proportions . . .
But how to do that? Is a Lokpal the perfect solution? What will a Lokpal do? Will police or judiciary deicide directly as per the recommendations of the Lokpal? If police and judiciary will directly follow the recommendations of the Lokpal bypassing the president . . . can even sack the PM!!! Will not he be more powerfull than the PM or the president? Will he be invincible? Whats the gurantee that his actions will be beyond favouratism? Beyond corruption!!!

I dont want our PM and president to be weak before one single person. Our PM is responsible to the parliament and to the mass through the elections. Let him remain the most powerful authority. And if so, then whats the difference between the Lokaykt and the proposed Lokpal! recently president has thrown the Lokayukta''s recommendation to sack Delhi PWD Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan for his alleged involvement in protecting a leading resort in a tax evasion case. . . Whats the use of a Lokpal or any new post without fangs . . .

And what if we make our present system strong?

And how will be our present system strong?

What are its weaknesses?
The weakness is no protection/ encouragement/ reward to the honest people!
No one listen honestly to the complaint of the person on the road who has been asked for a bribe! Political parties become shops for favoratism . . .
