Friends,

Recently, fall of corrupt Governments in Tunisia and Egypt was driven by

netizens. In India,movement initiated by Anna Hazare is not only hitting the

headlines in press and media, there is plenty of material available on the

internet.

I searched for "India Corruption" on Thank You and was surprised at the

results; some of the links are placed below. These short videos explain the

problem more cogently than written words.

It is my sincere hope that this mass-movement would result in effective

anti-corruption measures.

Indian anti-corruption movement finds inspiration in California march

By Matt O'Brien

Contra Costa Times

Posted: 03/27/2011 12:00:00 AM PDT

A movement to curtail political corruption in India is finding

inspiration in California, where six men on Saturday completed a

240-mile protest march across the state.

The anti-corruption protesters strolled through the Bay Area suburbs

this week amid heavy downpours and cold weather. They attracted local

curiosity but are making bigger waves abroad.

"I firmly believe that all these things, which seem so small in their

initial stage, can become a big movement," said 70-year-old marcher

Kewal Parnami, of Tucson, Ariz. "If they can keep the fire ablaze,

something will come of it."

Parnami was following in the symbolic footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi,

whose 1930 Dandi March against a colonial salt tax was a turning point

in the movement for India's independence. The California journey,

called Dandi March II, was for a different cause: ending the systemic

corruption that has stunted India's otherwise remarkable economic

growth.

"There is so much corruption going on," Parnami said. "It's like

cancer, eating the vitals of the economy."

The retiree moved to the United States from India in 1979, and

remained mostly apolitical until just over two weeks ago, when he

heard about the planned march from San Diego to San Francisco and

packed his bags.

"Mahatma Gandhi is my idol," Parnami said. "I just wanted to become

like him, a guy who has such a great discipline, such a deep faith."

The march, and the hundreds of Indian-Americans who have come to watch

and cheer it, reflects a growing frustration with the status quo of

Indian politics. It also reflects a growing awareness that the

hundreds of thousands of Indians abroad can have a role in doing

something about it.

"The diaspora is more conscious because they've seen something

different, they've lived something different," said Ujjal Dosanjh, a

member of Canada's Parliament and the former premier of British

Columbia. "They have something to contribute. They have perspective.

They can say how things should be."

Dosanjh was scheduled to greet the marchers when they reached San

Francisco on Saturday, but the Vancouver politician dropped out after

Canada's ruling government was toppled by a parliamentary vote Friday.

Like many immigrants who were born in India, Dosanjh said he is deeply

attached to his native land and wants to see it prosper. But it is

going to take tremendous change from the Indian people and their

leadership, he said.

"When more than half your economy is underground and not accounted

for, when everything from buying railway tickets to seats in college

to government jobs and grants -- when everything you have to do

involves bribery and corruption -- it can't be a nice place to live,"

Dosanjh said. "I believe you can make all the laws, you can create

institutions but ultimately you actually need to change the human

beings. You need to change the values."

Though corruption is a longtime problem in India, a flurry of

high-profile scandals has infuriated the Indian public in the past

year. Last week, U.S. diplomatic cables leaked by the WikiLeaks group

revealed another involving an alleged cash-for-votes scheme.

"The corruption, both in India and across the world, has risen to such

an extent that it's started affecting the common man's life," said

Cupertino resident Sreekanth Godey, a march organizer and Microsoft

engineer. "This is a walk to let the government know enough is

enough."

The marchers are pushing for legislation that would bring more

transparency to government and protect whistle-blowers. Their march

has already inspired dozens of other protests planned this weekend in

75 cities worldwide, the organizers said.

Unlike Gandhi's legendary 240-mile march from the city of Ahmedabad to

the seaside town of Dandi, the California route was not contiguous.

The crowd was also a lot smaller: six full-time walkers as opposed to

the tens of thousands who joined in Gandhi's civil disobedience.

Dandi II began March 12 in San Diego, where the marchers met two days

of polite resistance from a counter-protesting group called

Organization for Minorities of India. The counter-protesters believe

Gandhi, who came from an upper-caste heritage, did little to improve

the lot of those at the lowest rung of India's caste system.

After reaching Los Angeles County, the Gandhi-inspired marchers

skipped the 400-mile stretch between Southern California and the Bay

Area, renting a van to get from Artesia to Berkeley.

Then, they walked south through the East Bay, stopping at the Indian

Community Center in Milpitas, where they delivered a message to a

prominent visitor: Meera Shankar, India's ambassador to the United

States, who was there to give a talk.

"She said, 'We're going to look at it.' That's the standard government

answer," said march supporter Kal Raman, of Foster City. "At least she

was civil. She was noble about it."

The marchers continued north through the Peninsula, singing a Hindi

phrase -- hum honge kamyab, which means, "We will succeed" -- as they

were drenched by a rainstorm.

"Blisters are there, but the body got used to it," said Orange County

marcher Srihari Atluri, 33, speaking after he reached downtown

Burlingame. "It bothered us more in the first five days, but now it

doesn't bother us anymore."

The march ended with a rally Saturday afternoon at the Gandhi statue

outside San Francisco's Ferry Building.

Most of the communities in India (such as Bengali), are succumbed in 'Culture of Poverty'(a theory introduced by an American anthropologist Oscar Lewis), irrespective of class or economic strata, lives in pavement or apartment. Nobody is at all ashamed of the deep-rooted corruption, decaying general quality of life, worst Politico-administrative system, weak mother language, continuous absorption of common space (mental as well as physical, both). We are becoming fathers & mothers only by self-procreation, mindlessly & blindfold. Simply depriving their(the children) fundamental rights of a decent, caring society, fearless & dignified living. Do not ever look for any other positive alternative behaviour (values) to perform human way of parenthood, i.e. deliberately co-parenting of those children those are born out of ignorance, extreme poverty. All of us are being driven only by the very animal instinct. If the Bengali people ever be able to bring that genuine freedom (from vicious cycl
