Perhaps we should be devoting more effort to see that the 'corrupt practices' of State Governments are thoroughly exposed.
Awarding huge software contracts to proprietary establishments are akin to killing the poorest sections of the people, a crime no less in its dimension than what is happening at Iraq. If those killed or getting maimed in action there, can take refuge in understanding the issue as a consequence of a direct tangible attack, similar ones that take place in airconditioned parlours here, often go unnoticed, with the effect more devastating.
Our bureaucracy is so happy in leading a 'stable married life' with the proprietary establishments, that 'common people' appear to be 'dirt in the eyeball', something that needs to be wiped out for them to live in 'perfect harmony'.
Earlier it had been GIM (Global Investors Meet), wherein the bureaucracy wanted the natural resources to be awarded in a golden platter to the foreign merceniaries. When there was a public outcry, they got ashamed and planned more seriously, coming out with the latest option, wherein they found out that similar end results could even be achieved without inviting the slightest of public attention.
I wonder what our forefathers, who had striven hard in their lifetime to drive away the greedy and power hungry foreigners, would have had to say, after seeing the latest attempts of the Indian Bureaucracy, who now use all their 'putrid brains' in seeing to it that, the best of resources, human natural or otherwise, are reserved for the same greedy foreigners.
