Dear Friends:

Welcome you to this Blog which aims to take a look at the task of combating corruption from a very constructive, comprehensive and innovative angle.

This Blog is an initiative to suggest that, as a follow up to the ongoing movement for a sound Lokpal Bill, all well-meaning anti-corruption crusaders come on a single platform, strike a consensus amongst themselves, join hands and lead to the formation of a pro-active ‘Well-Organized, Comprehensive, Coordinated and Constructive Nationwide Movement to Combat Corruption’ as a solution to tackle this all pervading corruption in a very non-violent, democratic, effective and sustained manner.

The Primary Documents of this site are "An Open Letter to All Anti-Corruption Crusaders (especially to Team Anna)" & "Mission Combat Corruption & India Reconstruction - A Concept Note".

I request you to positively join this cause with your valuable comments and opinions. Together, let’s try to make this a real platform for constructive debate on the very important issue of corruption and on ways to tackle it in a very non-violent, democratic and effective manner.

Thanks and have a nice reading,

For ‘Mission Combat Corruption & India Reconstruction’

A Call for an Intellectual Renaissance

India is now on the threshold of a social revolution
Give it the backing of an intellectual regeneration
Instead of remaining imprisoned in selfishness and bigotry
Let’s take freedom to think big and cleanse our democracy

Anna Hazare has come out bravely to kindle the flame
It’s time we stood with him boldly to uphold the same
It’s time we raised our voice so high that by its sharpness
All wanton chains that bind our Mother(land) get broken
It’s time we sacrificed our hearts and brains so selflessly
That all those slumbering indifferently will surely be awoken
It’s time all those who work with paper, pen, canvas and mike
For the welfare of our nation, now become more bold and outspoken
It’s time we sought more means, creative and constructive
That will root out corruption and reform the entire nation
It’s time we enlightened the masses, not just rouse them to action
It’s time we strove for conciliation, not confrontation
It’s time for reconstruction, not destruction
It’s time to support Anna Hazare
For the real freedom of our Nation.

    Are we on threshold of second revolution?
    Millions heart already felt its elation'
    Few steps away to root out corruption
    If things go with support without interruption

    Kannan, I totally agree with you. Vilest are the wile and blackmailing tactics of those at the helm to weaken, blacken, and kill the movement. They have much to hide, and would like to hide forever behind their ineffective and self-serving laws. A right clarion call by you.

    You are right,dear friend. We had another Lord Kannan who stood against the Materialistic Kauravas and stood with Pandawas for justice. It is the materialistic insatiable competitive business political leaders that make the people corrupt. They plan terrifically media programmes to distract and demoralize the youth. So,we must change Election to Selection along with the making of educated (developed bodily, mentally, and spiritually as Mahatmaji said) voters.They can only make a change.

    Nimal Dunuhinga: Politicians and intellectuals are rivals for any nation's freedom............well done Kannan!

    RAJ NANDY: It felt real nice to read your poem after a long break! You have composed on an extremely relevant topic! Anna's impact has been greater than JP, taking the country along with him! This 'renaissance' is the need of the hour, & its good effects should continue to last! Thanks for sharing! -Raj
