Fighting corruption especially in higher echelons of society which in my view lies in terms of decreasing order of priority in the political, bureaucracy, justice system and business set up ( and the nexus of these) ( there is of course the real crime world which feeds and is fed by these) is big task even for powerful and honest politicians. But there is no alternative and no power that can match the combined force of people to make rapid changes. While a more coherent action plan involving People Participation should be evolved here is list of "to do things" that will help to build climate for people to come together and act.
1. When all things are thought through, political reform must be the MOST IMPORTANT. To be positive we should not call anything wishful thinking but we must ask what we can do to prevent corrupt politicians from coming to power and taking any important position ( List OF 20 steps we can take?)
2. CVC being very limited in effectiveness( even it may be open to "influence"). PMO must have website where under various "fields" people can feed inputs on names, issues.Such a website will show up most frequent names and issues raised and action taken by Govt and lack of action will become"fodder" for media during election time. Maybe Supreme Court could make it mandatory.
3. electronic filing of FIRs with one authority given responsibility to deliver it to appropriate Police Station. Such website will deliver receipt no and be deemed delivered.( we assume police cannot operate the system, and emails not acceptable. It may involve a small fees and no fees for those with ration card nos, UID card -(somebody to help in writing FIRs-NGOs etc)
4. In next 12 months people must organize anti corruption demo in New Delhi and major cities by turn every 3-6 months. (secret ballot will allow people to post agenda/issues/names anonymously that can be taken up by media/NGOs)
5 Has there been any media conference to develop anti corruption strategy? A Report Card System discussed frequently (not just in election time) on politicians, bureaucrats, and possibly judges
6. if all educated people allot few minutes every month to write to media,PM building pressure on Govt for action
7. Finally( for time being) anti crime terror website can make huge profits to fund whisteblower activity, protect whistleblowers better than any Bills/Acts, catalyze changes, also help fight crime/terror internationally and helping build "Value Added Communities" cutting across nations and states,religion etc
added
8. Sub blogs/website/ in public domain where people of constituency can submit lists ( some or many will be unreseaonable to their MPs
9. Spiritual Gurus wil have their ways. But I wonder why there is no course to equip people to be anti corruption agents(change agents) when they enter Labour force in next 10-20 years.
