RESULT OF AGITATION The country witnessed is not just peoples outrange
against curruption.
It is reasonable to assume that neither the Lokpal Billnor the Jan lokpal Bill solve systematic issues thatbreed corruption
Anti-corruption move must go down to a cultural
change on public morality.

THE AGITATION AND THE
ECONOMYOn 25th while Government was busy negotiating with
Anna, RBI issued a blunt warning; Economic growthcould soon fall below 8%.
India had an economic growth rate of 9% before 2008crisis, which struck at 8.5% previous year and can evencome down.
less the economic growth rate less people climbing ourof poverty, which will easily help in spurring up greatersocial unrest.

::::::::THE WAY FORWARD:::::::: The way forward is clear enough. We need action both
on detection and on prevention of corruption.
It creates a super agency which will be the prosecutor
the judge and the hangman all rolled into one. Millions of Indians want an end to corruption. But the
rigidity of civil society activists and arrogance of thepolitical class turned Anna Hazares Lokpal Movement
into a showdown.
