Corruption is eating India like a cancer. We can no longer ignore it with the hope that it will go away. We need to approach the problem ruthlessly & with a total commitment to eradicate corruption from our society, to make our Nation strong, proud and a world leader.

1. CITIZEN AGAINST CORRUPTION
How can India reduce Corruption?
India, as we all know; is a land of diverse cultures, ethnic languages and multi- religious
social groups all trying to find space in a over populated mass of land that has been
divided once before by the British (1947).
Regardless of the diversity of our Nation's population, almost all residents of India are
victims of food inflation, lack of required income for human standards of living and a
corrupt Government at all levels; from village administrators to the Central Government
bureaucrats & ministers.
Everybody agrees that corruption needs to be removed or at least reduced drastically for
our Nation to survive. Here are some ideas that may be considered, not by those in
power: but by those whose lives are constantly threatened by corrupt people in power.
a. All members to Rajya Sabha, must be elected by the People by direct
voting.
b. All Governors of State(s) and Lt. Governors must be elected by the People
by direct voting.
c. The President, Prime Minister & Deputy Prime Minister of India must be
elected by the People by direct voting, No longer should we allow the
political parties to dictate to the People as to who will be the Prime
Minister or President. Let it be the choice of the People. The same applies
for Lok Ayukta at State level. All have to be elected directly by the People.
d. Immediate dissolution of the IAS & IPS. The entire concept of the IAS &
IPS is a remnant of the British Raj policies where the natives (us Indians)
needed to be governed by a "higher class" of rulers (initially the British and
now the pseudo Brits). Every State in India has its own cadre of
Administrators & Police officials who are more capable than the IAS or
IPS.
e. Segregation of Police departments at the levels of town / village, district,
state and national police. Each town / village & district police department
will be independent of each other and independent of the state police dept
in terms of administration and duties but will report directly to the
Governor of the State. The state police will report to the Chief Minister of
the state. Even the Courts can have their own police department that
reports to the Chief Justice of India. All police departments will be
answerable to the President of India, independently.

2. CITIZEN AGAINST CORRUPTION
f. The Central Police organizations will be answerable to the President of
India directly. They can also be made answerable publicly to the full
session of the Parliament of India.
g. Draconian punishment for Capital offenses. Capital offences should
include pre-meditated murder, kidnapping, rape / gang-rape, misuse of
Government office, misuse of Political office, and any other crime that
benefits the person or their family at the cost of the Nation's treasury.
Punishment should include confistication of all assets of the guilty
(including ancestral property & property in name of spouse, children and
siblings), naked flogging in public and hanging to death in public.
h. Enforcement of law& order and public discipline. The law must be applied
equally to all residents of India, regardless of their status in Government
or position in the bureaucracy or other administrative positions. Family
members of people in power have a tendency to misuse Government (i.e:
People's resources).In such matters the person in power should also be
prosecuted along-with his family member to the full extent of draconian
law.
i. Today criminality is on the rise due to the 'economics of crime' that favor
the criminals. This 'economics of crime' must be made extremely
expensive for the criminal by use of draconian punishments (both
financial & physical). Only this will put an almost instant brake on the
criminal and lawless activities in India. Financial punishment should start
with fines that are minimum at 11,000 and increase in multiples of 10
for every additional offence. Physical punishments should include flogging
and daily physical work on the roads of India during the term of the
punishment. The prisoners to be isolated from family & friends at all times
during the full duration of prison sentence being served.
j. Every resident of India (regardless of whether Indian citizen or not) must
be brought into an electronic / biometric database. Every law enforcement
& judicial department must have easy access to each Indian resident(s):
I.D photo, finger prints, iris scan (eye print), blood-group and DNA
profile. When criminals know that they can be traced and caught, their
enthusiasm to commit crime reduces drastically.
These are only some of the suggestions that I can think off to start the process of a
disciplined society with drastically reduced crime and lowest corruption index. When
those in power are answerable to the People and also to the Laws of India; I am
confident that crime and corruption will reduce drastically.
Jai Maharashtra, Jai Hind
