“…Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might”----Gurdev Rabindranath Tagore:

Once you are recognized as one of the nacre, that is all, you shall not bend toward or change your trends for mighty happiness, or for framework leader, or for  whatever you feel to have, the example is nothing but the story named in a film ’Guide’. The Satyagraha or whatever name you call it to fight against corruption shall confine its perimeters only to fight against corruption, but shall become lean and lean toward agitating mass against some individualized political parties. By this change in its trends, it is recombining like that of ‘mare’s net’ agitation, and politicized.

There must be a person who shall take lead like the Mahatma, who fought against the British Rule and nothing else, and we unity amongst the politicians with their ‘politically correct’ phenomenon coming up and down, and the eagerly awaited Independence was at the door steps, HE was eliminated, on whatsoever reason. In a movement for agitation against Corruption, preferential equations and imbalance shall not be brought in.

Where is the sanctity of honesty if some one tries to agitate and make propaganda for or against a particular political party, to vote or not to vote against or talk in favor of; such trends lead to corrupt mind and shall not pave way for honesty and integrity of the mind system; mind is becoming corrupt to think on one sided phenomenon. I do not know what shall be the fate of the followers who came forward thinking of honest trends to root out corruption, but now the trend is changing towards political thoughts and lining up.

‘Corruption is a dynamic phenomenon; it develops and mutates, reacts and transforms to changing circumstances. We need to be aware of the limits of measurement. Measurements that focus in on one dimension might miss relevant and even contradictory changes in other dimensions. The more effective that existing measurement efforts are at shedding light on corrupt practices in a society, the more efforts will be made by corrupt members of that society to transform those practices into less visible and measurable forms.’ (Gray, C., Hellman, J., Ryterman, R. - Anti-corruption in Transition).-

How to measure Corruption activities and trends?: 1. Supervision or Control function; 2. Authority to deal with Financial means and property of state or local government; 3. Making of decisions, which are binding upon other persons; 4. Authority to carry out investigation and administration of punishment;5. Authority to deal with classified information; are official working procedures described to a sufficient degree? In what situations is conflict of interest possible? Is mutual supervision of decision making sufficient? Is the employees’ knowledge about the issues of ethics and prevention of conflict of interest sufficient? Have instances of corruption or attempted corruption taken place in the given office before? What factors, other than personal honesty, prevent an employee from corrupt activity? Does the office involve adoption of final and independent decisions? Does the adoption of decisions take place after direct contact with the citizens? Is decision-making process fixed with sufficient clarity?  Does the authority of an employee cover several zones of corruption risk? Is the control over an employee and his/her work results sufficient? Does the agency provide an opportunity to resolve issue?

If any one goes in deep with honesty and integrity in the mind of thinking on corrupt practices, whatever may be the case, even in the present cases of the CBI- it can be easily understood that the base is paved its way toward corrupt practices right from its origination and the authorities have side lined all the rules and the laws to suit to their conveniences and path. The files found missing and traced after a gap of some months and some others are so busy to put the files, and that the major NOTE portions are have its own beginnings and the ends, the words from the original note changed or omitted when it transformed into Orders, and so on.

For all that matters, if one feels go-gay, nebula, gestation with nectar comes in. and the path changes its way toward their directions and actions, and finally ends like gewgaw.
