But being honest in government is to live without powerful positions. The top will place ''useful'' people at ''powerful'' positions. The work oriented ones have to silently live and love the sidelined jobs. One fights and then one fine day one gives up and accept the reality of power. That's it'!<br /><br />Very well written, but things are murkier on ground.Ranjanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11756209469132235590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960082414020218571.post-5244105610181259122014-05-13T05:53:50.990+02:002014-05-13T05:53:50.990+02:00:) I fear the same.

We in India always loath the government for being corrupt but never realize that it's the citizens who are making the authorities so and not vice versa.. <br />System corrupts everyone, but when we ask ourselves why the system is so bad, we'll wonder it’s because of the people living here who are in eternal quest of power..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960082414020218571.post-22922796579660483612013-12-27T08:10:41.522+01:002013-12-27T08:10:41.522+01:00Thanks for airing in the views of " so few&qu...Thanks for airing in the views of " so few" honest public servants. You have shown the other side of the picture. But its a pity for our nation that very few realise this fact that they only are the biggest contributors to this corrupt system which they want to change. Hoping that reason will dawn upon the junta and its rakhwalas some day. I hope many more Kejriwals come out of their shells and show the strength of democracy. But again, as you said , any change can be brought about only when the people, common man have the will and strength to change.

We who are sitting under fans will not the plight of those sitting without a roof over their heads. Like you and me, using computer and internet will not fathom how a poor child sitting in a remote village communicates. And I love the thought when you say how many of us actually offer help/water/tea to those who cannot afford it.<br /><br />However, I do hope you understand that writing is a powerful medium to get opinions across, questions raised and truths revealed. After all, you too made yourself heard through this very medium. I would, at no point, consider it a crime to write, write and write more about whatever truths reality throws at you. Like I one I talk about in the post above. <br /><br />When you say it will never be possible for any of us to be 'fair', although I do not know what exactly you mean, it does sound like a certain complicity with being unfair. And acceptance of 'we are like this only. We are humans' is defeatist and leaves no hope for the future.<br /><br />Thanks for your valuable comment.
