Though you can be less cynical about the india of 2006 as gainst the india of 1996 we are still cynical of the job you left half done of cleaning the corrupt politcians diabolic electoral practices.India 2007 hopes of having more strict rules for political candidates vis a vis their criminal track record...Does Mr.Chidambaram really pay tax on his own annual salary plus the other perks he enjoys while in office as the FM of this nation.Or is it that the lungi he wears comes from the hard earned money of a billion-1 Indians is a question to be asked
