Darkness under the lamp -
BS Raghavan, Business Line
The shocking revelation in The Hindu of April 29, headlined “Niece, friend of Adviser to Manmohan got land largesse from BEML co-op” must have left every reader of the paper in a state of stunned disbelief. The tidal waves of moral degeneration, which had hitherto been leaving most other institutions crumbled in its wake, seem now to have submerged what should have been the fountainhead, and the model and the mainspring, of values to which public servants should adhere.

Verbatim |
 There was for years an old "social contract" between politicians and business. This provided for complex rules and regulations that made it impossible to do business honestly in many fields. But it was possible to do business dishonestly, through pay-offs . Some called this "efficient corruption" : politicians took money and delivered clearances. However, the anti-corruption mood of the courts, and new fears of getting caught (like Pawan Bansal) have ended "efficient corruption" . Politicians may still take money but not deliver on clearances , what some call "inefficient corruption" that freezes investment and growth. The old social contract has broken down.
