The Jan Lokpal Bill

Tehelka's Shoma Chaudhury expostulates on the controversial JLP Bill

A wonderfully articulated take on the bill that is making the headlines.

A lot of people have been expressing opinions at both ends of the spectrum about this bill, but none so far have come close to suggesting a solution to the problem. Is corruption just the way things are? Is a sense of morality that precludes corruption/bribery an idealistic and unrealistic world-view?

I need to go get a beer.
