*** Heh-heh Ram. So you read that as "tackling" corruption, do you?

I shouldda known :-).

Since WHEN has "reporting" of corrupt " teacher apptmt--" or what have you ,
become synonymous with "tackling" corruption  Ram?

>these con artists.

*** They ARE? You sure could have fooled me! Flushing them OUT has 
been going on for decades. Everybody knows what goes on. But there is 
NO deterrence. Nobody is or could be held accountable by the 
dysfunctional desi system of useless governmental institutions. The 
courts do not have a thirty year backlog because the crimes have not 
been flushed out, with MOST of the cases being filed by the 
'government'. They do not get CONCLUDED, or if concluded, without 
anyone being held accountable. That is why it goes on unabated.


The word "tackling" could be used ONLY when some perceptible ACTION 
has taken place, after a competent and timely investigation, 
concluded with a fair and fitting adjudication, which would vindicate 
the innocent, but punish the guilty, so that deterrence could be set 
up.

*** Furthermore, Hati-sur kori aage-aage jai, bengena-swork dhore 
kind of activity does not do ANYTHING to create either deterrence or 
create respect for the rule of law.


*** But I am sure those Oxomiyas who perceives your commentary as little more
than Oxomiya bashing as an antidote for their sovereignty 
aspirations, would appreciate your applause, even if it is not very 
convincing , even if it is highly premature :-).
