Who will ombudsman the Ombudsman?

A lot of people have turned simply mobs calling for an Ombudsman which will vet the doings of the Prime Minister, all the judges of the higher and lower judiciary, all the bureaucrats from top to bottom and who else.

For once did any one think about the scenario in which a Shanti Bhushan, his son Prashan Bhushan, Magsaysay award winners Kiran Bedi and Arvind Kejriwal and a few others would be supervising the Body System of India that is Bharat? Anna Hazare would be able to bridle the corruption that pervades the whole Body System?

Nobody need be carried away by the high-falutin media coverage about Anna Hazare and Company who may break off once the real issues come up before them.

There is no one righteous in the whole world, so says the Word. A lot of our worthies would fall prey to enticements of different sorts, once they are flush with power. Misuse of power by even the Ombudsman cannot be ruled out.

Because of the blow-blow media coverage of the movement, ordinary mortals would be thinking that this would be the end of Corruption Personified. We would be sadly mistaken to believe in a bunch of over-adventurous people. Their intent may be right, but which way the result of this movement will assume cannot be foretold.

Corruption is eating into not only the government echelons, but in the body and mind of the Human System. Simply gobble up whatever comes handy seems to be the way of the world. A lot of worthies would do any unethical and immoral act for a price. It is this mindset that has to be fought against.
