A Study in Corruption

 

 

The ‘India Corruption Study 2007’ brought out by the Transparency International India and Center for Media Studies not only exposes the unfortunate case where 10 lakh BPL families had to pay a bribe of Rs 7 crore to avail themselves of NREG benefits, but also brings to the fore your farsightedness in pointing out the scheme to be in shambles in your editorial ‘Salary rise for the poor… Shameful!’ (TSI April 13). In fact, the prophesies of your magazine rise our eyebrows when these turn to stark reality. Moreover, your relentless effort to mitigate the agony of the missing children, to release the fairer sex from the shackles of ignominy, and to vouchsafe to us the noble thoughts is the proof of your matchless charisma. In the present scenario of instability, insecurity, intolerance, moral degradation, and regional chauvinism, TSI shines like a beacon of hope.

May TSI continue exposing the ills plaguing our country today.
