In India there is no acknowledgment or premium for honesty. The rich don’t want to address it because it only helps them maintain the gap between rich and poor. The middle class are too busy making ends meet. The young, the worst of the lot, believe it is cool to be apolitical. They have inherited freedom and a democracy for free.

The best way of fighting wrong doers is to respect good people — the simple teacher, the honest shop keeper and good men and women.

We can dream as much as we want for free. The truth is Santosh hegde the head of Lokayukta resigned because he was unable to protect one innocent officer. This is the words of the ex-supreme court judge. I rest my case.
