Gaps in perception of India's anti-corruption movement as seen in the U.S. media and by Indian public opinion
04/10/2009
India's Congress government version of events presents it an issue of constitutional sovereignty. Indian public opinion sees it as truly an issue of controlling widespread corruption. Freedom of the press and freedom of assembly are guaranteed in India by the constitution and is exercized continuously since 1947. Corruption at all levels in India in the delivery of public services and in the development of infrastructure has to be experienced to be fully grasped. It acts as a perpetual tax on the middle class and the poor. One has to carefully read the draft of the anticorruption bill drafted by the Congress government, and understand how things function locally today, to realize that it is designed to make little difference in the current state of things. Designed that way because it is a silent but no less explicit intent of the government, political parties, the bureaucracy and interests that have advantages with the existing system, to preserve the status quo. Activist Hazare's bill is designed to give the anti corruption body called a Lokpal the powers it needs to be effective. The prime minister could be exempted but the bureaucracy at all levels and members of parliament and state legislatures if immune to this kind of oversight, would in a developing country with the local conditions of India, render it meaningless. Because this is where the corruption resides. Limits of overreach by the Lokpal come from the body simply acting as a referral system which sends the cases to the judiciary. In doing so constitutional powers are actually vested in the judiciary and the Supreme Court as the final arbiter. India's system of government does not confer sovereignty to parliament- as the Congress government contends- but divides powers between the President, Parliament, and the Judiciary, with a system of checks and balances as in the U.S. Because the current system has delivered a high rate of growth there may be even a tolerance for corruption as a necessary evil as practiced in China. Conditions are differen

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
