''Enough is enough'', shouted my neighbourhood septuagenerain. And without much ado, yes you got me right, the context on which the veteran spoke was Graft or should I rather say in plain language, sheer ineptitude of the current system to bring to book corrupt public officials. Carry on reading to know why I write hypocrisy in the above title. Well this gentleman, happily retired former public official in a local civic body has assets which far outweigh the income he could have legally generated through his salary and perks. Of course his children went to a high class
angrezi medium school and then did their engineering from grade A colleges helped out by some coaching institute. I had one of the most animated discussions with him on the corruption issue and ,not surprisingly, he came out on top. He backed Anna's movement like he backed his son's education with the hard earned
black money he made throughout his career. Needless to mention that his disproportionate assets were built over the years by feeding on India B's misfortune( of being poor). It was a classic case of hypocrisy for me. Believe me when I tell you that India's riches today are mostly built on India's poor..........to be continued
