Scarlett case and Corruption in High Places
by Kris iyer on Apr 27, 2008 10:22 AM   Permalink

It is a good idea that some "international" scrutiny takes place re: Goa Police and the Drug Trade that is fuelling illicit money-making there. Our own media is, increasingly, afraid of the politicians.
So, let us have The Times and other British media examine step by step not only the murder case, but also the non-use and mis-use of powers by the police, politicians and their chamchas.
I am not suggesting that Scarlett's Mum has been a great inspiration for Scarlett. She is a strange Mum. But, white people, even those with questionable morals, have a sense of fair play and obedience to rules.
We in India shd appreciate their over-all sincerety in terms of rule-making and rule-application. Our private morals may be straight but if, as soon as we have the Kursi, we swallow up public property as though it is our birth-right, then what is the use of private morality. We need to learn "public morality" also. Indians flying on planes do not know how to use the plane's toilet. Some of these people are highly educated but have no thought of other people. Sort of monkeys, really. White people, for all their immorality, leave the toilet clean after they use it. So, in big matters and little matters, we can learn from them.
I will go further: I wish about 2 million British people had settled down in India during the British rule, as they did in Kenya and Zimbabwe. India would have been a lot less corrupt and will have had intelligent newspapers.
