Indian activist says he is willing to die to end corruption

Hazare is demanding that a long-pending citizen ombudsman legislation, called the Lokpal bill, be widened in its scope. Hazare and his supporters reject the bill in its present form because it does not empower the proposed bodies to prosecute corruption suspects. Anti-graft crusaders have come up with their own draft of the legislation that seeks to create citizen ombudsman completely free from political influence and with wide-ranging jurisdiction.

We have received this news from Anand Krishnan Journalist & RTI India Online Member 34,Vishalakshi Nagar Kovaipudur

Today the Veteran Social activist Shri Anna Hazare breaks Fast after government issued the notification on Jan Lokpal and accepted all of Anna's demands,but the key now is to keep building the pressure to ensure that a strong bill is drafted and then passed into law and for this India Against Corruption given deadline dated 15th August 2011 to fully implement this according to Law and order. The Voice from India behind Lens in Facebook - India Against Corrution Below: Its a victory of ANNA's ARMY not Indian Government ... Keep in mind its common man's revolution. Now its again a fight between 5 Honest (IAC memebers) & 5 Dishonest (Congress leaders)

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE

Two Major Factors Which Leads To Corruption

Find out the root cause of corruption and eliminate it.

There are two major factors which leads to corruption:

1. Inaction of the law: I mean there are laws, but they are not implemented.

2. failure to teach against corruption: The core cause of corruption is the cheating teachers. The young minds learn to cheat each other from their teachers. Cheating teachers teach students to cheat each other. I can very openly say many of my friends had became corrupt politicians because of their teachers. Few of my friends have been branded as terrorists because of their teachers. Politicians are just victims of the situation. Terrorists are again the vicitims of the situation. The root cause is something else. It is the third rated teachers who should be punished.

Students learn to cheat. From whom the students learn? From their teachers.

99 % of the teachers do not read the answer scripts. If you care****lly analyze the marks received by the students it will tell you the horror side. A test is conducted to differentiate the potentials of students. Whereas, all most all students get 60-80 in their examinations. That means, the test had failed to serve its purpose.

Secondly, the really intelligent students get very low marks while the undeserving students get more than 70. The student comes to college/school so that he can study and get through his life. What our beloved teachers do? They cheat. The do not deliver their duties properly. Who are these Ph. Ds? They are the junks who neither know what is 'A' or 'Z'. There junks become the directors of ins****utes or principals or the professors? The same loop of nepotism goes on.

Who am I to say all these? I am the Professor who had been terminated from Service from Jamal Mohamed College on the grounds of asking ****ut the integrity of its principal! Of course, I do not want to call myself as teacher anymore. Forget ****ut qualificiations. Destroy the 'certificate culture. Look at the humanity.

Government are saying there will no benefit of this "Jan Lok Pal Bill" So I asked question to Government why did not made same law we are using on terrorism. if government want to remove corruption they should made same law like pota, Tada,moca, against Corruption.

why they are bloody Leaders afraid this "Jan Lok Paal Bill" why there not pass this bill since last 58 years. Corruption and Terrorism both are the two part of same coin.

"Public elected the Leaders, Leaders are made administration, then they start corruption. but leaders forget to make Anti Corruption Bill. but Anna Hazare came in the picture when Leaders forget their duty"...

Support the Anti Corruption Campaign. Support to Anna Hazare

Why Social Media can Fight Corruption?

2011-04-14T20:24:00.000-07:00

Social Media platforms seem tailor made to fight Corruption. Many of their characteristics are ideally suited for building a sustainable forum against Corruption.

Some of these favourable characteristics are:

a) Anonymity: A key factor that inhibits many people from exposing Corruption is the fear of retaliation. and how it will affect their day to day life. Social Media provides people with different shades of anonymity to suit individual comfort so that they can voice their opinions freely. Online anonymity could vary from simply being a name without face to the much more elaborate open web proxy servers used by the Iranian protesters.

b) Aggregation: This is a powerful tool available on Social Media that can be used to consolidate what is ‘common knowledge’ about Corruption. Consolidation gives information the credibility that it otherwise lacks and makes it difficult to ignore [recall: Obituary to Corruption].@Gauravonomics refers to it as ‘Collective Intelligence’ in his The 4Cs Social Media Framework. Most common example of aggregation is Wikipedia, written by faceless multitudes, which is now widely used as reference material for a variety of topics.

c) Interactivity: Public discourse has always been led by the vociferous few. The silent majority simply endures and is unable to register its dissent. Social media gives voice to the silent majority and allows them to participate in a discussion rather than just be passive observers. ‘Like’,'Dislike’, ‘Share’, ‘Re Tweet’, ‘Bookmark’, ‘Comment’, ‘Poll Vote’ are all instruments that can drive a new interactive and participative democracy. Those with more followers, fans, readers, subscribers will act as moderators in this interactive discussion.

d) Instantaneity: With growing use of Social Media on mobile, the ‘instantaneous’ factor can also be exploited to fight Corruption. Twitterhas already stolen a march in this direction and there is a lot that can be done using such tools. [more on this in a separate post]

e) Viral: The viral nature of the medium makes it easier to spread the message – a task which is other wise beyond the reach of individuals or smaller groups in the physical world.

Despite all these positives, many of the historical negatives of Social Media still remain. Social Media evolved from Social Networking which came into existence essentially as a ‘virtual hanging out’ place for the young. So there is still a preponderance of entertainment, sex, humour, and the risqué on Social Media. In such an environment it is often difficult to find an audience for anything serious and substantive. [Refer to this Facebook page with 400K+ Fans as compared to our own Corruption Free India page languishing with just 1.3K Fans] Anonymity too lends itself to spam and fraud where people assume fake identities and resort to spamming. Many people still consider Social Media to be just a ’storm in the tea cup’ and doubt whether it can ever drive a change in the real life. However things are bound to change. Even a virtual congregation does consist of real people (leaving aside ‘bots’) and a digital record is still a public record. There may be an impression that no one is listening, yet whenever something significant is said, it finds the audience as if from thin air. With all its imperfections, Social Media is still going to be the medium of choice for fighting Corruption because of the reasons enumerated earlier. With its growing clout evidenced by the rush of celebrities joining Social Media, exit of a Central Minister over charges leveled in Social Media and the growing use of Social Media to check ‘Social Reputation’ before hiring or even marrying, all point to the fact that time is now ripe for a greater use of Social Media in fighting Corruption.
