The ill-earned dirty money has become the currency of the Indian politics. Corruption per square-foot, per pound, per file and per head, is the swan song, a song which millions of underprivileged and disadvantaged Indians cannot sing. India’s blood stained dirty money, which is parked in external Tax Havens outside the country, if brought back can infuse fresh life in the starved and stunted Indian masses. Due to rampant corruption, and red-tape justice is either miscarried or delayed. There is a widespread feeling of lack of social justice. The political leadership and the top judiciary are seen to have failed the people in spite of the checks and balances a democracy is supposed to provide. The Lokepal Bill, introduced in the Parliament, needs to be strengthened. The credibility has eroded, leading to the demand that all the MPs, including the PM, and the judiciary be made accountable."

Due to rampant corruption, and red-tape justice is either miscarried or delayed. There is a widespread feeling of lack of social justice. The political leadership and the top judiciary are seen to have failed the people in spite of the checks and balances a democracy is supposed to provide. The Lokepal Bill, introduced in the Parliament, needs to be strengthened. The credibility has eroded, leading to the demand that all the MPs, including the PM, and the judiciary be made accountable."
