C.Ravindranath is 200% right in his analysis of the problem and obserations.Basically, it is giver who is more responsible for corruption that the taker. Therefore, if only the givers become firm in their resolve not to take or ask for favourable treatment from any govt. servant, the problem of corruption will get solved . But the greedy and selfish as the human being is, it is next to impossible to get rid of this tendency. Govt. on its part keeps advising  the public not to succumb to illegal demand and report such instances  to various agencies appointed by it in this behalf. But the real problems are that we are a democractic nation where every thing  has to go according to the so called  rule of law. In the process of going by   rule of law, many procedural bottle necks have to be encountered. It is indeed these bottlenecks which force the giver of the bribe ( for his selfish gains) to find a short cut to quick solutions  The real remedy  would, therefore , be that the complaint making and looking into  them should be very simple with provision of detterent punishment for making false and frivilous complaints. This should be in addition to redrafting the public related economic and other  laws in a very simple language not capable of two meanings. This may help discouraging  the babus  confusing the common man with the interpretation of the  legal language enshrined in the concerned law book.No amount of suggestions from the public for changing the procedures will be accepted unless the legal departments of the  ministries of the govt. are receptive to such suggestion in the spirit in which these are made, and are also in consonance with provisions of law prevailing at the moment..

Mr. Vinay, just thinking loudly, why not ask gems like M/S Joginderasingh, Ribeiro, Kiran Bedi , Inamdar, Mendonca and the likes of them to offer their views on ways and means to eradicate the evil of corruption from the entire country and not just from Maharashtra through ACB.
