Corruption and Kejriwal
I submit that corruption is so deeply entrenched at every level in India that Arvind Kejriwal has to make one of two choices : ( 1) Either he must forget about corruption and turn a Nelson's eye to it, or pay only lip service to it, catching a few small fries here and there, while ignoring the large sharks and the crocodiles, in which case he may survive for some time or (2) he really and seriously tries to root out corruption, in which case he will break his head hitting a wall, making so many enemies that they will gang up against him and destroy him very soon
I submit that corruption is inherent in the transition period India is passing through, and will be substantially reduced only after 15-20 years when the transition period will be substantially over
I have given my reasons in an article I wrote some time back during Anna Hazare's agitation when many people thought that by shouting and screaming corruption can be abolished.
I know I am pouring cold water on the revellers in the party and celebrations after the sweeping victory of AAP in the Delhi Elections, but conditions in the country are too critical to simply exchange pleasantries and avoid realities. The truth is often harsh, but nevertheless it must be told.
