Tell the world that the corrupt pay a big price in India

India has had a bad name for the corruption that prevails here. The ways by which netas and their pliable bureaucrats grab resources of the country are well-known. It is rarely that we get a chance to tell the world that this will not go on, that we are changing. Sending a message like that in a loud and clear manner is very important.
Now the Mumbai High Court has given us a judgement that is priceless. Visit 
All we have to do is to obey the orders of the court, when the appeal process comes to an end. If the judgement is upheld during the appeals that will surely follow, the illegally built building should be demolished by men who fought side by side with the Kargil martyrs in whose name the building was conceived and then diverted. We should announce a date and time and then an army unit should carry out the demolition using explosives, with minimal damage to neighboring structures. World media should be invited to record the spectacle. It is very likely that this will be the loudest message any country has ever sent about its determination to rid itself of corruption. Every TV channel in the world will carry a clip of the demolition and every newspaper will carry a photograph. What better way to tell the world that we are no longer a soft state?
