Corruption: Actions and Reactions

Let us first ask: What is Corruption?
Any theoretical answer would be to earn money illegally and through unfair means. Ok.

Practical answer wherever we see, there is corruption, unlicensed tea stalls in all types of stations and bus stops, unauthorized hawkers on pavements, trains, traffic cop to  minister all part of it. The question is are we not? We are actually buying from them and we are part of it. The whole thing is causing huge amount of revenue loss,reason being this is a huge unorganized sector catering to the needs of people.Estimates are a tune to 80-90% revenue loss to the Government. And we are a part of that loss since it is we that bore it through taxes on everything. So, how to get out of it? No easy answer. But one thing is important.Political Will is necessary to root out corruption.

Now let us talk about current political crisis. It is in general principle believed that Lalit Modi is scapegoat of previous regime where if he had not had spilled certain beans,  still he would have been IPL Commissioner earning and fixing matches after matches to all those blind lovers of cricket.He left the country with help from then opposition currently in power.It is now strongly felt that people in power at this moment should show the strongest of political will to bring this messiah of corruption home, spill beans on cricketers involved and tax everyone  involved to beggary and set an example like never before.
