I beg to differ. I think the entire lot of seniors in our government are a serious let down. If they were so good India would have been a much better place. Personally yes, I respect my seniors - but not all and sundry. Its like just because someone becomes a minister s/he becomes "honourable" - I don't buy this.

Also lokpal is one thing - what if lokpal members become corrupt? Will we have another lokpal to police this lokpal? IMHO more laws or regulations or committees will only treat the symptom, not the cause. The cause is a system, the power to chage which, lies in the hands of those inside the system. Unless they change it, it will not change.

I'm not doubting lokpal - but Anna Hazare may be incorruptible, many others may not be.

A system that depends hevily upon an individual's conscience is bound to have problems sooner or later. Our Indian system is one such.
