If enough public figures and members of the intelligentsia join the fight against corruption, then I am confident INDIA will win the war against corruption eventually. The whole public sentiment needs to be articulated into clear policies and mechanisms for fighting corruption sensibly using secularist strategies.......this is what happened in Singapore, and can happen in India. Though I have my doubts about the Congress Party given its the ultimate insider within the central problem.

A Party which functions behind closed doors around Dynasty politics, political patronage and wheeling and dealing. This is Mafia politics of bygone banana republic years. "Shining" "incredible" India must reinvent itself in this new era.....and leave behind the era of Indira Gandhi politics.

Eradication of corruption vital for development, says Kalam

By PTI and TOI.

With the chorus getting strident over rooting out corruption, former President APJ Abdul Kalam on Sunday threw his weight behind the anti-graft movement.

Kalam launched the "What can I give for India movement" here to fight the menace.

He said eradication of corruption was vital for the development of a nation. Though India has made significant progress in various fields, there are challenges, including corruption and moral turpitude, he said.

He said the fight for corruption free society and good environment could be a reality only if people changed their attitude and started thinking what they could give to their nation.
