Corruption in India has grown to alarming proportions because of policies that have created enormous
incentives for its proliferation, coupled with the lack of an effective institution that can investigate and
prosecute the corrupt. Corruption is both personal and institutional. The majority of politicians and civil
servants are corrupt. Moreover, under the garb of liberalisation and privatisation, India has adopted
policies by which natural resources and public assets (mineral resources, oil and gas, land, spectrum,
and so on) have been allowed to be privatised, at a fraction of their value, without transparency or a
process of public auctioning.
NRIs cannot claim to have unsullied reputations because our silence and detachment from the
motherland which raised us in our formative years, causes us also to be complicit in corruption’s
atrocities. The need of the hour is to engage in the national conversation.
