Anna Hazare & Co. prove DV right on “Khatri Sick” PM : money corruption killing India

After our last Editorial of April 1 ,2011 (“DV  proves right on Khatri Sick PM: (Without his  blessing how  so many robbers can thrive?”) and during the course of our shifting from Bangalore to Mangalore, there was a countrywide furore  an the  stinking corruption  directly  pinning down the PM himself. The flood of criticism  was  not against private sector corruption but against the burgeoning  corruption right under the nose of the “Khatri Sick” PM .  Never before the  corruption of  politicians directly working under the PM and the bureaucracy was washed so openly. The corruption   scandals  under the PM  received international attention  following the hunger strike by a Gandhian.

Wikileak expose : What is more interesting is the comment of Julian Assange  heading the Wikileak .  He held the PM fully responsible for all the corruption and the PM’s silence on that. He blasted the PM saying: 
“It means he (PM) has a habit  of  reactively covering up allegations of corruption.”

PM called liar:  The PM shielded all the corrupt  fellows and encouraged the man-eaters  to devour anybody and everybody’. Not only  that.

Why he is closing his eyes?  What makes him close his eyes on all cases of highway robbery?  Man-eaters ? This is “intellectual   corruption” which is the most dangerous form of corruption.
The world famous Economist, which is very much pro-capitalist and pro-American  like the PM, called him a liar (Economist, March 26, 2011 p.33) and a dismally weak leader.

Anna  Hazare and company stripped the PM naked.
Nothing may come out of Anna Hazare’s  “fast” and the  subsequent  Lokpal Bill which is a product of the ruling  upper castes (15%)  who are the very promoters and perpetrators of   money corruption.

DV proves right: That is different.  Our point  is DV has proved right in directly indicting the PM  and holding him responsible for all the scams under his leadership as PM.
 Our views on corruption  are well known to all DV family members. In our book, India’s Intellectual  Desert (DSA-1999,Rs.50) . We have listed four varieties of corruption:-
  1. Intellectual corruption.
  2. Caste corruption
  3. Moral corruption
  4. Money corruption.
Of the four, we have given the last place to “money corruption” which is the sole target of Anna Hazare and company who also belongs to the ruling class.

Oppressed majority forgotten: Over 85% of India’s population, comprising SC/ST/BCs and Muslim/Christian/Sikhs plus women of all categories including upper castes, are the principal victims of the first two categories of corruption. Of course they are also victims of money corruption which cannot be eradicated without destroying the other three categories.

But neither  the Anna Hazare & co. anti-corruption  crusaders  nor their target, the “Khatri Sick” PM and his cronies, are interested in the first two varieties. That concerns the country’s oppressed majority (85%) who are forgotten by both the parties. That only proves the Hazare & Co. are not serious about the country’s basic maladies – except cheap publicity.

Parliament is supreme:   The problem with Hazare  and his tiny urban–based cronies    is they think the politicians  alone are corrupt. Fine. Yes. That is true.  But the MLAs and MPs are elected representatives of the   people as per the  Indian constitution,   according to which Parliament is  supreme. Whether we like it or not, we have to abide by the constitutional  principle .

That means our MPs  and  MLAs  cannot be  overlooked. Our urban elites may hate the politicians who are a negligible minority. But urban elites we noted  only for making nioise, criticizing everybody else but not caring for the public good. Left to themselves, they are all   for bypassing   the   constitution   and entrusting   the  government to the corrupt  corporates.

A second hunger –strike: That means the urban upper castes elites, who are  the backbone of Anna Hazare,  are taking a stand against the  constitution  which the country weaker sections – SC/ ST/ BC’s (65%) and Muslim / Christian/ Sikh (20%) will not agree.

In democracy, it is the people who rule through their representatives. The Indian Parliament will not accept the Hazare formula. He may have to come again to Jantar Mantar to start the fast again (and perhaps die?)

Be that as it may, the Anna Hazare & co. should be thanked at least for exposing the “Khatri Sick” PM’s role in the current money corruption poison killing the country. Their campaign received front-page publicity in India’s corrupt media and helped the outside world to know how “Hindu India” is stinking and degenerating.
This is what we have been writing and saying all these years. We are supremely happy that we have again and again proved right.  Meanwhile   the scurrilous smear campaign at the “top”   between different forces show how rotten is   India’ “top” which proves our point that corruption begins at the top.
