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:-
- Intellectual corruption.
- Caste corruption
- Moral corruption
- 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.
