India now on 84th position on honesty index
India has ?strong? reason to feel satisfied by ?improving? its position in global honesty-ranking from 85th last year to now 84th this year that too much better than that of Pakistan! Our political rulers and bureaucrats are fond of enjoying luxurious ?study-tours? on public-expense in ?national or public? interest. High-level delegation should be sent to world?s least corrupt nations like Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, Singapore and Sweden. At least Indian virus may raise corruption-level of honest countries to induce socialism in global corruption if India itself cannot match the honest ones!
If Indian government wishes to induce honesty in the system, there should be provision of death-penalty and life-imprisonment for persons involved in big scams. Properties of the culprits and their near relations should be confiscated. Since currency is the oxygen to corruption, stringent steps may be taken to drastically transform currency circulation in banking transactions in a manner people may find excess currency as ?paper? of no practical use! But who will bell the cat when law-makers themselves are biggest beneficiary of a system prone to corruption!
