Who should rule Lok pal or corruption?


I consider myself a “common man” who use to believe that if I had to get my work done, I have to pay bribe! Such is our Indian government and system is corrupt. I was in Delhi till one year back and then moved to United States for work, but I know very well, that at heart, I am an Indian with all the plans to return home soon for good. When I see differences between America and India, one thing pinches me, being Indian, that how corrupt our mentality has gone. Even to get a driving license, we need an agent! Why? Because traffic police department will not treat you well if you directly took your application to them without any “extra fees”. Same is the case for passports and other government office related works. Police/Customs/Revenue/local authorities/every government department. Such shameless have become our government agencies and most of the government employees who consider “chaay paani” as their birth right. Bloody shameless corrupt bastards they are (Sorry, I could not help myself). I literally feel like spitting on faces of these creatures whenever I have encountered them at airports or government offices. They don’t even let the “makkhi” on their faces to fly and ignore us as if they are “highly obligating” us by doing their work for which we pay out of our pockets (their direct salary and indirect chaay paani too). 

Why are most of the government “servants”/beaurocrats are so corrupt? Why do they want “chaay paani” for doing their own work for which government and indirectly you and me pay thru our taxes? The reason is politicians. These bastard politicians (sorry again!) allow them and encourage them to gather money for them. Politicians, to me, look as root cause for this cancer of corruption. And I dare to challenge, 99% of politicians are corrupt asshole. There is no doubt about it. I don’t understand from where these assholes get their Pageros, BMW’s and Landcruisers when their official salaries are Rs. 40,000 a month. Especially when I earned more than Rs. 40,000 a month and work for more than 10 hours a day but could afford only a Santro in that salary! 

How did A. Raja dared to fool Indian laws to help Tatas, Amabanis and other corporates make thousands of crores keeping government at losing end? Because he knew that he would get away with no Indian laws against corruption. Just imagine the money that government lose on telecom spectrum scam could have been used to make infrastructure better which would have helped India progress a bit. But all I can see is all politicians and ministers are busy making money for themselves. Let India and common man, the Indian, go to hell! Same is the case with corporate. Did you see any corporate honcho like Tatas/Ambanis/Birlas/Jindals supporting Anna Hazare in past two days against corruption? No. Why? These are the same bastards who are busy looting common man and India from both sides, by manipulating government policies to make money and by manipulating stock markets to again make money. 

It is a high time for us, as a citizen of India, to awake and fight against cancer of corruption. As a beginning from my home, I am starting with this post to express my feelings and let all my thousands of fellow investors who read IndianStocksNews.com regularly, know that I suggest everyone of us to start fighting against corruption, support Jan Lok Pal bill and Anna Hazare’s efforts to get it in place whichever way you can. You can join demonstrations in your city, nearest city to show the government playing games against this bill for past 40 years to avoid it, the power of common man! After all, government and all politicians are “Janata ke sevak” who has forgotten it completely and that common man is the owner of this country and not any Manmohan Singh or LK Advani or Lalwaa or Jaylalita. Neither Sonia Gandhi nor Rahul Gandhi and second generation of any politician who think they have birthright to rule on common man. 

If you are an government employee, reading this and considers “chaay paani” as your birth right, don’t be shameless to ruin this country. Your child may spit on your face tomorrow for spreading corruption and being part of the bastard’s brigade

About Anna Hazare

1. Who is Anna Hazare?
An ex-army man. Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War

2. What's so special about him?

He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra

3. So what?
This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is produced in the village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind mills.
In 1975, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of the richest village in India. It has become a model for self-sustained, eco-friendly & harmonic village.
 
4. Ok,...?
This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a known figure for his social activities.
 
5. Really, what is he fighting for?
He is supporting a cause, the amendment of a law to curb corruption in India.

6. How that can be possible?
He is advocating for a Bil, The Lok Pal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill), that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians (ministers), beurocrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.

8. It's an entirely new thing right..?

In 1972, the bill was proposed by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan. Since then it has been neglected by the politicians and some are trying to change the bill to suit thier theft (corruption).

7. Oh.. He is going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing a Bill ! How can that be possible in such a short span of time?

The first thing he is asking for is: the government should come forward and announce that the bill is going to be passed.
Next, they make a joint committee to DRAFT the LOK PAL BILL. 50% goverment participation and 50% public participation. Because you cant trust the government entirely for making such a bill which does not suit them.

8. Fine, What will happen when this bill is passed?

A LokPal will be appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge, say like the Election Commission of India. In each and every state, Lokayukta will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to trial in case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be punished. Not like, Bofors scam or Bhopal Gas Tragedy case, that has been going for last 25 years without any result.

9. Is he alone? Whoelse is there in the fight with Anna Hazare?

Baba Ramdev, Ex. IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal and many more.
Prominent personalities like Aamir Khan is supporting his cause.

10. Ok, got it. What can I do?

At least we can spread the message. How?
Putting status message, links, video, changing profile pics.
At least we can support Anna Hazare and the cause for uprooting corruption from India.
At least we can hope that his Hunger Strike does not go in vain.
At least we can pray for his good health. 

Lok Jan Pal: Lets think to make a change in politics.


Anna Hazare, a 73-year-old Gandhian, sits in the burning sun fasting, and he will stay until death -- unless the government agrees to consider a powerful law that could rid Indian politics of the scourge of corruption.

He is the Modern Mahatma is taking the utmost act of courage and determination to push through a bill that would give an independent body the power to punish corruption -- even in the Prime Minister's office. Across the country a movement has exploded, and a media storm of pressure has been sparked that's engulfing Singh. But dirty politicians are desperately trying to water down or kill the law.

For the first time in forty three years, we have the chance to change the way politics is done. Let's join together and stand with Anna Hazare to tackle corruption and clean up Indian politics. We have no time to lose -- sign the petition to Prime Minister Singh and send this on to everyone:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_anna_hazare/97.php?cl_tta_sign=570600704903193fa3850a556e1f8423

Hazare is championing a citizen-developed bill called Jan Lokpal that will create an independent body, selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities, with enough power to investigate and punish all politicians. No minister or bureaucrat will be able to influence its investigations.

Since 1968, when this bill was first introduced, greedy politicians have thwarted its passing. Now the government is pushing for a watered down Lokpal with no hope of ending fraud, vice and dishonesty -- it gives politicians overriding power to decide who will be investigated, and is a complete eyewash.

Pressure is mounting on Prime Minister Singh to endorse the "Jan" Lokpal. Members of the opposition party have begun to make the right noises in support of Anna Hazare. And even the National Advisory Council, a powerful advisory body to Sonia Gandhi have come out in favour of the bill. But corrupt politicians and vested interests are doing all they can to kill it.

Anna Hazare has set the example. But only a national citizens movement can ramp up the pressure to get Singh to endorse Jan Lokpal and save Hazare's life. Sign the petition and forward it to everyone now:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_anna_hazare/97.php?cl_tta_sign=570600704903193fa3850a556e1f8423

Corruption in politics has become a plague across our country, it is draining our resources and demoralizing our nation. This bill would go a long way to deterring those that steal and undermine the public good. Last year, the Avaaz community in Brazil won an important victory -- against the odds millions of people came together and pushed through a historic anti-corruption law. India has a proud history of people power overcoming oppression -- today if we all stand with one voice we can fight this corruption that is poisoning our political system.

With hope,
