Cleansing The Kingdom Of The Devil:

Man is incurably addicted to the colours of the judgements of others around him. He can fight pain & hunger, but appreciation & validation from outside are some thing he can never forego - even in the most extreme situations. In other words, most of what a man does is just listening to the gallery for that magical 'wah wah', whether loud & verbal or unsaid & subtle. Even self-actualisation is just a higher form of universal comparison, where inner satiation is just a setting up of a wider pedestal of display for the accomplishments of the individual. However, there is a trick here. The man chooses his gallery. A saint wants to be a better saint among saints. A thief wants to be a better accomplished thief among thieves.

Now comes the question of decadent polity & bureaucracy. Generally speaking, from 1970 onwards, bribes & corruption have become more accepted & prevalent from top down. Therefore for the corrupt man in the holy temple of our government offices there is a gallery. The gallery of other corrupt people, who cheer the excellent performers. The gallery is not confined to any strata or class of officials or clerks, as the famous caste system of unequals in our bureaucracy. 

This is a cause, for which class ceases to exist. This is where all differences & inequalities are forgotten. A truly classless bureaucracy succouring itself on the 'gallery & being in the show' syndrome. The people from outside and the the society in general may berate & cry foul, as is happening now. Right down from the ministers of the likes of Raja & his ilk to the lift-man there is no remorse - rather a secret gallery to applaud on the sly.

The way to go forward is not to find lone culprits (Heros in their world) & punish them, symbolically. One Raja replacing another of his brethren. This is not going to work. Culling one Raja will rather martyr their ilk, because deep down they do realise that the probability of getting caught in the net and being severely penalised & defamed is abysmally low. Even after being caught, many close to to the people in power go scot free and their crimes are forgotten. The guys who really are hanged, are those who don't have the power to back them up. In such a state of affairs, the only way to stop this rut is to alter the gallery. In the absence of a gallery to cheer, the tendency to out do each other in corruption would stop. The gallery can be tweaked if the corrupts, not-so-corrupts, straights, and incorruptibles could be precisely mapped & surveyed with as much accuracy as possible. This should be done by an outside agency, having no interest in the outcomes. Then the corrupts should be placed under intensive therapy for periods ranging from 3 months to a year to cleanse their old beliefs. The not-so-corrupts could be under training & orientation programmes. The incorruptible & straights should be put at helm of affairs with new temporary staff. Then the corrupts should join back after their therapies. Even polity & judiciaries too are to be included in this nation building programme.

These may sound outlandish at this point of time and in fact are impractical to implement in all its extremity. But such measures need to be initiated even in very mild & slow evolutions to have the desired effects over a long period of time. This sensitisation & evolution is already on by some RTI activists, NGOs, and a few TRP hungry media companies. This public sensitisation would slowly tweak the gallery. If even 10% of the corrupts in every government abode (Includes bureaucracy, Polity, & Judiciary) are named & the names are put in a public website for the ease of the public , by any of the well meaning organisations - then the gallery would be effectively tweaked to usher in the desired results.
