An interesting observation that I have honed last few years.

People really don't mind corruption if they see that their leaders are still doing everything to ensure that their lives are improving in due process.

@richa_singh Income disparity can cause people to become sour and selfish thats what I have seen here in outskirts of Chennai.
@richa_singh
I agree! People say, 'khaa rahe hain par kaam kar rahe hain.'

@richa_singh A corruption less society is perhaps a far fetched idea. When things are happening, there are bound to be some bad transactions. I suppose the key is to make sure checks and balances work. Its pretty much a directly proportionate relationship.

Anyone buying into the narrative of the idealistic corruption less world is just naive!

And maybe thats why the current sellers of that narrative have been spot on with dedicated focus to dismantle those checks and balances.

@richa_singh corruption has many facets, there was an article in Frontline on the anniversary of #DeMon on that.

Hope @sridhar85 can share the link. It is an interesting read

@jamewils @sritara would love to read!
@richa_singh @sritara Richa please look at the archives of Frontline Print Edition dated November 24, 2017 in which my article was published. Sridhar edited it and he can say you the name of author and article
@richa_singh @sritara I am having the copy of Frontline at home and today night I can give you the reference, if you don't get it by then
@jamewils @sritara Thanks a ton James :)
@richa_singh @jamewils James, is this, an essay by Prof D Narasimha Reddy, the one you're referring to, here - https://frontline.thehindu.com/cover-story/demonetisation-corruption-and-black-money/article9946457.ece
Demonetisation, corruption and black money

An analysis of the unfolding dangers of opportunistic politics in the era of post-truth.

@richa_singh doing everything to ensure that their lives are improving in due process. Has this happened in the past 5+ years?? I don't see it ๐Ÿ˜Ž
@richa_singh most people are ready to be corrupt. They only wait for an excuse , morality is rare nowadays..
@richa_singh Agree. Thatโ€™s the reason why more and more people are missing the Congress times today.
