Yes, I have failed. Since July 2012, I have tried my level best to eradicate rampant corruption at the top level (Director) of WBPDCL. I have sent series of repetitive mails to none other than President, PM, PMO, CVC, CBI, MP Adhir Chowdhury, CM Mamata Banerjee, AITMC, Respected Anna Hazare, IAC, AAP and social networking sites like Rediff & Yahoo to stop rampant corruption at the top management level (Director) from West Bengal Power Development Corporation Limited. But, it did not produce any corrective result till date and that corrupt person has not been removed. Instead, that corrupt Director has surprisingly assured his second term in WBPDCL till August 2015.

ostracism, corruption cannot be fought"

How really true!

But Mr. Dixit limits his prescription to the big businesses alone!

A more effective method to fight corruption in such pathetically corrupt countries such as India might be for the commoners (businessmen included) - middle as well as poor classes - to jointly ostracise the corrupt in all possible manner.

The commoners ought to be so intolerant to corruption that they would single out even the remotely corrupt candidates for denial of their votes! Any MLA, MP, corporator, councillor or panchayat member who is even remotely suspected of the slightest theft would simply not be elected irrespective of which party he represents.

Similarly, the intolerant commoner would consider every act and word of any minister or MP or MLA through the perspective of corrupt intentions and indicators first and satisfy himself fully before considering them from any other perspective.

The intolerant commoner would simply refuse to give the stamp of approval for any public function chaired by any minister/representative that is arranged even remotely for the purpose of honouring the minister/representative in any manner (inaugural functions, stone laying functions, etc.). The intolerant commoner would make it amply clear that the minister/representative are indeed mere servants of the people and that they need expect nothing more than the privileges accorded to them by the constitution!

These are all in theory but not in practical world.
In reality Gandhiji also created a mass movement but could not got freedom from British government.
We got freedom only when British government wished to do so.
Our government should take responsibility and play a bigger role in the interest of this country not in individual or party.

The collective action.
by chanakya maurya on Dec 31, 2012 03:53 PM

The collective action recommends "follow the crowd".

Or just miss the bus.

The classical example of a man called Bin Laden who fought against the mightiest on the planet Earth had to succumb to the advice "follow the crowd" and shell out 50k, rather than fight out the corrupt official, amply re-iterates the demand of the system as a whole.

If one fails to acknowledge the norms of the system, the later simply teaches a lesson that is often very costly and painful.

The system is so foolproof.
