Faith may move mountains elsewhere, but in India money alone does miracles. Anna Hazare is an exception. He is able to arouse people's emotion against corruption. Advani's yatra against corruption is obviously a political gimmick. The main political parties, the Congress and BJP, trading bribery charges against each other is a fraudulent spectacle. We have lived with this tamasha for a long time and we may continue to tolerate this idiocy for some more time. But what is worrying is that even balanced persons have started making ridiculous statements in public with a show of righteous indignation. Salman Khurshid argues that if corporate honchos are jailed, economic development will suffer. We can extend the argument and say that if politicians are arrested, politics will get stymied. If erring cops are punished, criminal system will fail. So, spare the criminals and the corrupt and let a thousand flowers bloom.
