Who is Rahul Gandhi anyway?

The land of the Maharajas banished the idea of Maharajas early in the 20th century.  That does not mean that royalty is dead in democratic India. Witness the crown price and heir apparent of the Congress party, Rahul Gandhi.

Can we solve the problem of corruption in India?

India is growing at an annual rate of 8% but the corruption is growing more than 100% every year. These days even the smallest corruption figure is in couple of thousands of millions. If it continues like that, all the gains of growth will go to drain and will make the life of a common man even more miserable than before. Every one wonders how to get rid of this menace. Recently many intellectuals, ex-IAS/IPS and social activists etc., have come together and formed a forum called India against corruption. It is heartening to know that this forum is growing every hour, which shows a strong desire on the part of people to get rid of corruption or at least minimize it to the possible minimum level. There are suggestions to plug holes in the system and one of the suggestions is the Jan Lokpal Bill.
