What most of us know but are helpless against a group of vested interests even though we are highly critical of their agenda as we are individuals. Like a band of 5 dacoits looting a compartment full of railway passengers who dont know each other to quickly come on a single platform to resist the thugs: INDIA AGAINST CORRUPTION The present conditions in Tamil Nadu , where mass protests have been organised against the conviction for Jayalalitha is a pointer for the shape of things to come. A similar recent incident was the protest organised against the eviction notice to Ajit Singh from the government bungalow, that he was occupying in New Delhi in an unauthorised manner. Every political leader in the country appears to maintain an army of sycophants who are enabled to make money or get position for themselves by the political power of the leader. As a matter of fact, both the political leader and the sycophants need each other to survive, loot and prosper. When these sycophants protest against the conviction or action against their political leader, they protest only to protect their own positions. A very large segment of the country men are not part of the sycophant gang, but they lack the courage to stand against the violent behaviour of these elements and simply bow to their demand to shut the shops or stay away from work. Media, sometimes partisan , sometimes scared and most of the time sensational give huge publicity to such unwarranted protests and in the process make such protests look like genuine for a cause. One only hopes that the Judges will not allow themselves to be influenced or coerced by such motivated protesters and they will deal with the issues legally. If conditions such as now in Tamil Nadu are allowed to prevail, then it would be extremely difficult to punish any corrupt politician in India. Now, here is a wake-up call for the anti-corruption movement in this country. N.S. Venkataraman Nandini Voice For The Deprived Chennai
