FORUM Aaja Nachle hurts The lines in Aaja Nachle hurts, as Mochi is shown to be lowly. In schools, villages and neighbourhoods some people just could sing these lines to hurt the members of Mochi community. And it happens. Unless some one lives in the areas of narrow caste conflicts or belong to such community, it is difficult to understand the agony that a dalit member can undergo. I have suffered in schools where certain stories are taught by the teacher underscoring the stupitidiy or lowliness of a downtrodden, while the entire class looks at you pointing out if I were not like the same person in the story. Bharat Kumar Ram Rules are meant for weak The enforcement of rules are very week in Government. Powerful Bureacrats will not go back inspite of Nitish Govts letters to DOPT.The rules are enforced for lesser mortals. The drama of giving # months extension continues knowing fully well that itis neither here nor there . Let Manmohan Singh apply rules uniformly first before tall talks of better governance. Tapan Information data will collapse if ---- Raaghurane wrote on 3rd December that IRS is worst managed srvice. Perhaps he hoes not know the meaning of worst or has not seen the condition of other services. Management of no service under earth is worse than ISS. In a globalised era where information is power and ISS officers are piling huge information on the basis of which other services have managed to expand their base abd the ISS after 25 years struggling at JAG level.unless their marale is high and they are given the right place, the information system (data base) will collapse. P K Mishra Home Minister and Home Secretary should review With regard to Tyagi's comments, I can only say that the same Home Minister & Home Secretary for a change,can also review performances & corruption level of the departments like Rural Development, Registration, Health , Education, Transport,power etc.! Ravi TAIL-PIECE YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE Corruption is operationally defined as the misuse of entrusted power for private gain. Like all other colonized countries, India too became a victim of this scourge in post independence days with transfer of power to unmerited hands. Corrupt practices to accumulate wealth came to be recognized as clever aberrations and not as a despicable misdemeanor. Some go on to say that gift giving and taking as part of negotiating and relationship building is a normal tradition in many non-Western cultures. Cultural relativism ends where the Swiss bank account enters the scene. There are limits in all cultures beyond which an action becomes corrupt and unacceptable. In a democracy, the political mandate is given by the people and misusing this publicly entrusted power for private gain is inherently contradictory and irreconcilable with democracy. But temptation remains a challenge anywhere. Facilitation payments, where a bribe is paid to receive preferential treatment for something that the bribe receiver is required to do by law, constitute "according to rule" corruption. A retired Major General visited the office of the Regional Transport Officer fifteen times, for getting a simple job done as he chose out of conviction not to bribe them through an "agent". On the other hand, is a bribe paid to obtain services the bribe receiver is prohibited from providing? A typical example is the recent news report of a raid at the residence of a high ranking Army Ordnance officer, involved in the purchase of 'war like' equipments, unearthing disproportionate assets to a tune of Rupees 50 crores. In order to amass 50 crores, the corrupt officer must have allowed at least 10 times that amount - the nation's precious assets - to be ill gotten by the bribe givers. It is virtually impossible to quantify the cost of corruption since payments of bribes are not publicly recorded. Take for example a power plant being built at a cost of Rs.1000crores. It could be argued that, were it not for corruption, the cost could have been as low as Rs.700 crores. The financial damage to the public would then be Rs.300crores. In practice, quite often projects are planned simply so that those involved can make huge private profits. Assuming that the power plant was superfluous, the financial damage would have to be assessed at Rs.1000crores. In addition all major power plants leave a trail of environmental destruction. The results are increased pollution, a lowering of land prices, resettlement of local residents, an increased debt burden for the country, etc. This calculation is immensely complex. Corruption impacts people's lives in a multitude of ways. It costs lives, freedom, health and money. The lives lost in Uphaar Cinema fire, explosions in unlicensed fireworks factories, bridge and building collapses across the country etc. are all victims of corruption. Turning rainforest into illegal settlements and plantations, destroying the habitat of natural wild life and forest dwellers affects the climate and the economy. The money made by the land grabbers and builders does not flow back into the country's economy . Corruption thrives where temptation coexists with permissiveness. Where institutional checks on power are missing, where decision making remains obscure, where civil society is thin on the ground, where great inequalities in the distribution of wealth condemn people to live in poverty, that is where corrupt practices flourish Col.
