We have no proven formula that is sure to work.<br /><br />However, the fact is that we are a relatively young nation especially compared to large developed nations.<br /><br />Typically a mature society will result in a developed nation and not the other way round. For a society to become mature, it needs time but more importantly, it needs guidance and education.<br /><br />This guidance in a budding society can be given through laws. Had we been a more mature society, I would have supported your view that we need lesser laws.<br /><br />But I dont think we have reached that stage yet.<br /><br />Take for example a crossing where we can legally cross only upon the green signal. Typically we see the car in front of us break the rule almost every time there is no policeman.<br /><br />The same Indians when living in US become better citizens. They follow regulations even if noone is watching. They stop at the crossing even if there is no signal at all!<br /><br />To me this is the effect of living in a mature society.<br /><br />Until we become that mature society, we do need some more laws and their strict implementation or their may be chaos.<br /><br />The other point I would like to make is that for all of us filling pages, this group went ahead and actually did something on the ground. I concede that a majority may not even know the difference between the versions of Lokpal Bill but the massive support is not for Lokpal Bill. it is against corruption. I think if someone else with a different path but the same goal would have seized the moment, people would still have supported.<br /><br />The moment is still there to be seized. Lets go ahead and take steps whether we support Anna or not.Ramitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500026736324137854.post-13698095111099017232011-08-25T23:53:25.848-04:002011-08-25T23:53:25.848-04:00I just deleted a comment.

A good example of what I will remove is: "You haven't read Jan Lokpal".Atul Kapurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170581954726734751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500026736324137854.post-21197860350586743462011-08-25T21:31:30.212-04:002011-08-25T21:31:30.212-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.shashinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500026736324137854.post-14927441580978139732011-08-25T12:18:52.637-04:002011-08-25T12:18:52.637-04:00All that it will do is to see that one more layer ...All that it will do is to see that one more layer will be created in the looters hierarchy, viz. Lokpals . Who will select the thousands of Lokpals that will be needed to police the millions of bureaucrats.<br />It is quite easy to get carried away by noise and media hype. Are we sure that we do not contribute towards corruption. How many of us are giving genuine figures for Income tax, property registration etc.<br />About the extra constitutional methods used by the agitators, the less said the better.sampathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10001451116469998502noreply@blogger.com
