It saddens me that we have reached a period where corruption is an issue that needs to be tackled by fighting with our government and introducing bills.


However, it is better late than never and I am glad that we as a country haveu00a0woken up from our slumber and are coming together to fight corruption. It's time we stood up against corrupt practices that have been plaguing our country for years. Although I cannot be sure whether founding the autonomous body is the magic solution to all our problems, I think decentralisation of power is the key.

Like Gandhiji said, we must be the change we want to see in the world. It's a supply versus demand rule even in corruption. So, the day we have say no to bribery, we can nip corruption in the bud.
