Although the value of Money increases over time, meaning, that Rs. 40 Crore in 1988 does mean a lot more in 2011, still we are just calculating the Sum. And the total Amount Comes out to be Rs. 197590 Crore =

Around Rs. 2Lakh Crore

Although 2G scam is considered to be the father of all scams, we can point out several many scams of More than Rs. 100 Crore.

Its easy to generalize the act of corruption, but tougher is to point out the examples. Being an Indian, I know that corruption is rampant in every part of the Country – from Top to Bottom. But let me point out 2 places where sheer Endeavour of the Govt. is responsible for the development of the development of the State.

Gujarat – Although Mr. Narendra Modi have been criticized for the Deadly Riot some time back, but what he has done for the last few years have been exemplary. With the Idea of Zero toleration for Corruption, this man has single handedly worked for the development of the People in every sector – from Agriculture to Infrastructure, from IT to Mobility, from Tourism to Manufacturing—all the sectors are booming like heaven. Its never like he has got extra funds or got extra-ordinary people, but what he has done is – channelizing the funds and recreate Money from Money. And all this at the expense of two simple concepts

• Honest Intension and determination

• Zero tolerance against corruption

Tripura – Trust me, I am the last person to be politically inclined, but what the Govt. has done in the State of Tripura, India is really noteworthy. Tripura, a place land locked on all sides and at the extreme corner of North-East India, is of least political or Economic significance w.r.t. India as a whole. During our teens, we could not go for a tour at the outskirts of Agartala in the fear of Terrorist activities. This had a direct impact on the socio-economic life of the State. The Night-Super Bus service, which ran between Agartala and North Tripura has been totally removed and never renewed. The people staying in South or North Tripura were really at a harsh situation, especially if there was any need to come to the Capital.

All these have been solved to a large extent by the proper work of the Govt. The terrorism has been completely eradicated. The result of this is proper communication between North to South Tripura. The Govt. heaven introduced the much awaited Rail line, which is on the verge of further extension. The roads at the capital are really good. There are many more incidents/examples. Everyone has got their shortcomings, so does our Govt. have. But what they have done in the last is really noteworthy..

I am neither a Politics Fanatic nor do I have a good General Knowledge. I believe in facts and have faith in the works that a person does.

When Anna Hazare started his fast, the modern India was taken by shiver. People say that they have seen 21st Century Gandhiji. And rightly he did it. At a time when the west is busy demonstrating it Missile power, Anna, almost single handedly shook the entire Indian Govt. and forced them to take some action which they should have taken long back. Thus Lokpal Bill was Introduced and with it started India against Corruption. The action of Anna was hailed by a Billion Indian.

Then came Baba Ramdev Chapter. The Yogi Maestro, who is already a Godly figure World over, is assisting Anna in his Movement Against Corruption. It is now his turn to put forward his demands. With the motto to end Corruption in India, he decides to follow Anna’s footsteps and decided to go on Fasting. His main demand is to Get all the Black money that is held in Swiss banks back to India. The amount is big enough to revive the entire Economy of India overnight.

People have already started blaming him, saying him a Businessman, saying that he earns money by selling Yoga, that he is doing all these to move into politics etc etc. I have few points to make at this moment.

1. Ramdev as a person : I dont know how do we blame a person who has helped a billion Indians with the help of yoga. A person who made us believe that how Strong was Ancient Indian Ayurveda, and that it has the cure to even Cancer and he even Proved that. The act of Kapalbhati has become a day to day activity of Millions and all that for free over Television.
2. Business : Is it like Ashtha channel gives the Entire channel free for Baba Ramdev’s Activity? Is it like all the classes he organizes, or all the staffs he recruits are all funded by the Govt. or the opposition or someone else? Is it like all the medicine that he prepares are freely available? If not, then what mistake is he doing in Getting money from People. Even in Indian Mythology there is “Gurudakshina” for teaching. Tell me the name of a Single doctor who cures his patients for free, he cant, as he even needs to earn his livelyhood.
3. Politics :
   • Other Politicians Views: I don’t under why all the politicians are so much afraid of him getting into politics. Are they afraid that Ramdev’s Party, headed by Anna Hazare has the capability to overthrew all the existing Parties?
   • General Public View : We do blame Politicians for not doing anything. We blame them for being corrupt. But none of us dares to plunge into the Mud and Try to clean it up. Now when a person with such a stature and backed by Anna Himself, comes into the idea of getting into politics why are the people blaming him saying all his activities are politics oriented?

A single person might not be with much of abilities, but a handful is always a punch, and a group of Punches can bring on any revolution any time. The renaissance that occurred in Europe during 14th – 18th Century, I guess its the time for India to bring it on. Lets help Anna, Baba Ramdev and Entire India against Corruption Team.

Lets hope for a corruption free India.

1.       An institution called LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state will be set up

2.       Like Supreme Court and Election Commission, they will be completely independent of the governments. No minister or bureaucrat will be able to influence their investigations.

3.       Cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years anymore: Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year. Trial should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt politician, officer or judge is sent to jail within two years.

4.       The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction.

5.       How will it help a common citizen: If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant.

6.       So, you could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal will have to get it done in a month’s time. You could also report any case of corruption to Lokpal like ration being siphoned off, poor quality roads been constructed or panchayat funds being siphoned off. Lokpal will have to complete its investigations in a year, trial will be over in next one year and the guilty will go to jail within two years.

7.       But won’t the government appoint corrupt and weak people as Lokpal members? That won’t be possible because its members will be selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians, through a completely transparent and participatory process.

8.       What if some officer in Lokpal becomes corrupt? The entire functioning of Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent. Any complaint against any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer dismissed within two months.

9.      What will happen to existing anti-corruption agencies? CVC, departmental vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI will be merged into Lokpal. Lokpal will have complete powers and machinery to independently investigate and prosecute any officer, judge or politician.

10.   It will be the duty of the Lokpal to provide protection to those who are being victimized for raising their voice against corruption.

With the Entire nation dancing in joy on the World cup victory, the sole buzz were the Men in Blue. But its a past now. Past – not to overshadow the greatness of World Cup win, but for a greater cause. A cause which might bring about a revolution. I want to ask you people – how many times in ur life you have seen Indians fighting together for a broader cause. A cause which is not restricted to their household affair, rather one unified and fighting for the entire nation as a whole.

Q: So what is this All about?
Ans : Anna Hazare, an Ex-Indian Army and a social Activist, and all his associates are trying to bring down the Corruption in India. Their First initiative is to pass the Jan Lok Pal Bill.

Q: What is Jan Lok Pal Bill?
Ans : The Lokpal will be a three-member body with a chairperson who is or was a chief justice or Supreme Court judge, and two members who are or have been high courts judges or chief justices. Implementation of the Lokpal bill will hopefully reduce corruption in India. The basic idea of the Lokpal is borrowed from the office of the ombudsman in other countries. It provides for filing complaints of corruption against the prime minister , other ministers and members of parliament with the ombudsman. Anyone, except for a public servant , can file a complaint and the Lokpal has to complete the inquiry within six months. For 42 years, governments have tried to put in place the law but still not in practice.
The above description of Jan Lokpal Bill has been taken from http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/What-is-Lokpal-Bill/articleshow/7879944.cms .

Q : Who all are supporting this movement?
Ans : Prominent figures like Baba Ramdev, Nafisa Ali, Ex- IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal, Aamir Khan, and Millions of people in India.

Q : How can we be of any help?
Ans : Lets participate in the movement. Lets show all the politicians what is people’s support. They can never go againt common man as it is their only source of income/Bread and butter.
