This refers to ‘Corruption cannot just be legislated away’ (October 10). It is an interesting and informative article on the virus affecting government services. And, any effort, however strenuous, does not seem to succeed in rooting out the malady. It is necessary that both the Central and State governments conduct studies on major incidents of corruption and judge whether the existing methods in tackling the menace have been successful.

The author has stated that in the long run, economic development remains India’s best bet to root out corruption. But economic development may be several decades away. With increasing awareness and rapidly rising political activism, the nation cannot afford to wait that long for rooting out corruption.

An honest tax administration can go a long way in curbing corruption.
