Nothing really works in real sense, unless there is an element of reality in it.
I realized it an hour ago, while waiting in the Q of a Pan shop, when a policeman came and bought ahead of us what he wanted because the Paanwala was visibly scared of him.
Despite telling him to adhere to the basic rules, that Policeman, conveniently ignoring it, ran away without reacting to my protests: Coward!
Unfortunately, the illusion is, being a policeman, he is still perceived to be above the reach of law and order! Amazingly, he, who is supposed to enforce law and order in the country made a mockery of it.
And that brings out the point: What reforms are we talking about in India, particularly against corruption, targeting the top-guns, when the bottom is completely corrupt?
I am convinced that the fight against unfair practices has to begin at the bottom of the system, because, only then people at top would realize the threat against indulging into corrupt practices.
Until then, every efforts to eradicate corruption out of the system would remain a dream unfulfilled.
No Anna Hazare can lead us to a corruption-free civic society, unless we, the common man, decide to protest, unlike that Paanwala, against every instance of corruption in our daily life.
