India alone cannot be singled out for corruption of this nature. Computer hacking first started in the developed countries rather than in India. What is interesting, these hackers are not always condemned. Their help is sough by the police to detect new crimes. Timely detection helps prevention of the crime. I would like to draw the attention of our knowledgeable netters to another aspect of corruption. What about civil servants selling official secrets (draft documents of important policy issues, etc) to the media and vested interests, political or otherwise? They commit offences on two planks; first as breaking a condition of their employment and secondly a moral one. What is revealing is that these offenders achieve celebrity status in course of time. It seems not only that the law has lost its rigour, the society itself has gone soft on crime and other social malaise. Alpana mentioned about
the funny accents coming out of the call centres. Our prejudices have to give
way to the realities of the changing society globally, that is how I look at it.
Personally I am not happy with my own accent. I am afraid I will have to
live with it as long as I breathe as with so many other
things in life! |
