Unite to stop corruption

India has exemplified that a million united men protesting non-violently can achieve wonders. The history has been repeated many times when we united to successfully protest against Emergency in 1976, to save Narmada, Mahadai (goan river), Himalayan flora(Chipko) or to correct the justice denied to Jessica Lal. Our recent mass ventures are protest against nuclear plant in Jaitapur, Maharashtra; and against Genetically Modified foodgrains. Its time we support Anna Hazare in his fast to pass Jan Lokpal Bill, which gives us the right to file corruption complaint against any high ranking official.

Satyendra Dubey wrote a secret letter to the then Prime Minister detailing corruption in Golden Quadrangle Project. It doesnt take genius to guess that the corruption was rampant in PM office too, and Satyendra Dubey was murdered for fighting against corruption.

Citing an allegory penned by Chetan Bhagat-- we trusted golden ducks to lead us. Our children were killed and we suspected crocodiles, but when the ducks said there are no crocodiles around, we blindly believed them until one day we discovered that the ducks had ganged up with the crocodiles.

United, we can strip these ducks of their goldenness amassed out of public wealth.
