India Against Corruption, Barak Valley
AN APPEAL FROM

“A LONG MARCH” In The Light Of 
“INDIA AGAINST CORRUPTION” Process


        Very recently, India has witnessed a spontaneous outburst of public anger epitomized around the noted Gandhian Anna Hazare’s fast against corruption. People from all walks of life, especially the professional intellectuals and students-youths, poured into the streets of every city and town of the country to register their protest against ever-increasing corruption. All of us know that these corruption and malpractices within our system is not a new phenomenon. But during the last two decades, after the neo-liberal regime took the reign, the corrupt-practices are rising leaps and bounds and spreading its tentacles in all spheres of Indian human life in keeping with the pace of tightening grip of those neo-liberal policy-makers at the helm of affairs. In the international arena within corruption Diasporas, India is now competing hard to top the list. The revelation of Radia Tapes unearthed the unholy alliance of Corporate giants-bureaucrats and political class in power. The more this alliance gets condensed, the more the people lose the power to maneuver to make people-friendly policy and ipso facto the corruption becomes more rampant. Now we know the pile stashed away into the foreign Banks. The black money generated not only at the cost of cutting people’s lifeline but also dehumanizing the people making them sterile and bereft of any initiatives. The Lokpal Bill for which all are clamoring after and the almost similar state authority like Lok Ayukta, made nonfunctional in state like Assam, will add a teeth in our system of accountability to bite the corrupt power-that-be and their hangers on. But the teeth, however sharp, is not going to cleanse our system permanently, unless people’s rights and power are established and the alliance of trinity with Corporate Giant projecting itself as holy spirit to squeeze Indian masses for super-profit, are combated head on.
          The movement for “India against Corruption” has already set broad perspective by announcing the need for people’s power. The on-going debate in this process will hopefully broaden our understanding of systemic hindrances against people’s power and eradication of mal-practices and corruption.
         However, from our experience as the inhabitant of Barak Valley vis-à-vis Assam & north-east, we can conclude beyond reasonable doubt that the regional marginalization and people’s disempowerment cause the  corruption to be widespread and deep-rooted. The obverse of the curtailment of rights and deprivation of people is the corruption. The crass political class here is busy pampering their bosses and taking advantage of caste-community divisions. In every front, right from road-rail-water communication, internal infrastructure, employment generation, modernization of agri-production, industrial development, poverty eradication, rural employment and food security, human rights-civil rights-worker’s rights, plight of people related with unorganized sector, democratic functioning of all political-administrative-educational institutions, the situation is of utter dismay. The local self Government, Panchayeti Raj Institutions have become mere tools for facilitating the loot of Govt-exchequer and tax-payers money (especially the indirect tax-payers of common people) and sustaining the rule of power-that-be and their local-level hangers-on hands-in-glove with the administrative machinery. The people feel disgruntled but helpless.
            But the movement for “India against corruption” gives legitimacy and proves efficacy of people’s initiatives. If all the right-minded people and the organizations unite to fight for people’s issues and against corruption, we are hopeful to see the change for the better soon.
   SO, RISE-JOIN-UNITE AND FIGHT FOR PEOPLE’S POWER AND AGAINST CORRUPTION ON THE BASIS OF THE ABOVE ORIENTATION TO INITIATE A PROCESS AT BARAK VALLEY LEVEL TO START WITH, AND IN THE LIGHT OF ALL INDIA INITIATIVE LAUNCHED BY THE PROCESS NAMED “INDIA AGAINST CORRUPTION”.

Many Organisations and individuals have already joined this process, you also join this process.
We have decided to initiate this long march from 1st May at Silchar.
On behalf of “A LONG MARCH” In The Light Of  
“INDIA AGAINST CORRUPTION” Process
