World loves corruption! It is fun with risks & rewards!



Some realities about corruption, Indians love & hate !

1. There is one and the only solution to PREVENT corruption in govt. But no one, wants it.

2. The solution is scan & web post  the file and order finalised  No technical challenges here. Simple.

3. But no one wants it.

4. Govt obviously , because , secret file makes governance mysterious & enjoy a sense of power over citizens , who unfairly dealt with have to seek justice from govt.

5. The secrecy of file allows self seekers to violate public interest and favour arbitrarily, for return, and hence govt power is lovely.

6. Elections become a huge business and expenditure benefits media, many small scale industries, liquor trade, transportation business, generally carnival festival for electorate with cash freely flowing. Lots of fun. This will dry out with the solution in 1. So even people do not really want to see corruption go away.

7. Various laws enacted to catch after corruption is committed are more in the nature of cop-thief games we used to play as children. As adults we continue to play and enjoy. It is a run with hurdles placed to add to excitement. Same with RTI which keeps some less wise people , fully engaged in the game of going in circles without ever reaching the secret evil.

8. Media , retired service persons, bureaucrats, CBI, lawyers, courts all enjoy the sweet fruits of corruption : black money generated gives Advt money, foreign trips, when exposed , putting up a shown of circus how to catch the culprit. Channels track stories from Delhi, to Rome , to London, Paris, New York, Cayman Islands, Swiss resorts, Malaysia, Hongkong ...well around the globe with CBI too moving all over the world. Decades pass for each exposure. This keeps people diverted happily .

9  Courts too happily are engaged, inquiry commissions, adjourned cases, grant of bails, increased number of special fast court judges, etc etc.

10. New political parties claiming to fight corruption arise but careful not to kill the golden goose. Only a few more laws & cops to raise risk-reward stakes. More excitement for the players.

11. The total direct and indirect employment opportunities are more than those involved in doing them scam.

So no sane Indian will like a solution which removes fun in life. Corruption will continue to thrive keeping all of us happy, what ever be the pretensions we put up.

What is prevalent in India is in different forms in most countries. The question is where is the escape route? Are we in a catch 22 situation?

Funny at the outset, but deeply disturbing. How can we come out of this Catch 22 situation?

The great Indian Puzzle.

The great Indian Puzzle:  own technology to save every single life in land transportation, decongest cities and roads, save fossil fuels, avoid painful land and property acquisition, all weather system, eliminates modal split and seamlessly integrates for both cargo and people, more importantly financially viable, proven and cleared by Government in 2005 itself BUT ignore  and continue to keep doing infrastructure development with century old technologies, proudly too, to add insult to injury, causing tears to land and property owners, spending four times more but unable to achieve any positive result, cities remain congested, floods can shut down cities, accidents keep killing people and losing heavily public funds in terms of subsidising losses since famously these are not financilayy viable. Isn't it height of stupidity or lack of integrity in engineers for misguiding their governments? How history will judge, only time will tell

SKYBUS RAIL : The unique disruptive rail technology of this century.

Image
It is yet to hit experts of railways , that an innocent simple reconfiguration of railway technology elements in 2004 and and World’s First run on Sept 15 2004 of Skybus in Goa,  (    https://youtu.be/TzFH26E6eto  )   actually ushered in a mile stone, which I myself did not realize full implications at that time.   Many centuries of derailing, capsizing and colliding railways which we had been using with expensive mitigating measures, suddenly becomes obsolete.  Even in 2022 there are are hundreds of incidents in the world even in the most advanced railway systems and human lives lost. In 2005, once dynamic tests confirmed safety and more comfortable running of Skybus Rail, the entire world railways stand obsolescent.  To say the 175 year old , evolved highspeed rail too now , is obsolete is shocking . But matters of fact stare at any rational person, to gloss over.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/134GMH5pLrNkvhrXROIhQJvksdDtfeb6u/view     Current serious global warming challenge is e
