India is passing through a historical period of self-purification. Our Prime Minister is putting an end to black money and corruption. Our Supreme Court is feeding patriotism into our hearts via cinema halls. Now the apex court has weaned our politics from our gods. 125 crore Indians may go down in history as the people who sanitised a whole polity. Can politics exist without corruption? Can greed be washed out of human hearts? Can religion be separated from public affairs especially politics? Politics and Corruption Corruption is an integral part of politics simply because politics is about power and power is about subordination of most people by a few. Subordination, swindling, manipulation, exploitation... these are the normal synonyms of power unless you are a dyed-in-the-wool idealist. There is no power structure without bribery, cronyism, nepotism, extortion, parochialism, embezzlement, and whatever helps one climb up the endless rungs of the ascent.
