I have not read the Sentinel today, but I will. I give credit to the earlier one in which DNB pointed to the issue correctly, even though he strayed off on the solution discussions. That was a far better and informed presentation than the highly disappointing Presidential address.

It cannot be denied that the average citizen encounters more petty corruption in India than in the USA.I argue that the phenomena of what is seen as widespread corruption is a failure of the systems of governance rather than simply of individual and it is in the transformation of the system that we must seek primary remedies.Why is the actual experience of the common man in India in getting basic Govt. services significantly different than the experience in America? The major difference between US and India is in the " SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE".In the US,there is a far higher degree of ownership and accountability of the local Govt to local communities.By contrast,in Indian system,power is centralized to a much higher degree at the level of national and state Government.
Have you all read the editorial that appeared in today's Sentinel----something to do with the police in relation to public?
