No, the Lokpal is not accountable to the Indian public. It is not accountable to anyone. Therein lies the problem. Where there is no accountability lies excessive corruption.

What I'm surprised about (actually I'm not) is that only British & other media outlets are reporting this, but none of the mainstream US ones... surprise surprise!

The Saudi people are fine, I have nothing against them. I've done my Hajj & Umrah, my Dad lived in Saudi Arabia for 5 years. I also have a few Saudi friends. The Saudi government backed the British imperialists, who used Salafism to destroy the Ottoman Empire. The Saudis backed the Americans to...

I am not a troll. If you read my other posts, you'd know.

I've always been bothered by the Saudi Authority/Monarchy/Kingdom, but never the Saudi people. But Saudi Arabia as a country has served great injustices for fellow Muslim countries all over the world, serving the interests of the Western imperialists. Any society that segregates men & women...

Saudi Arabia has conspired with Western imperialists in the killing of their own Muslims & Arab, brothers & sisters, gave rise to Salafism & Islamic extremism, & the British used it to destroy the Ottoman Empire. They conspired with the US & Pakistan by setting up Wahabi/Salafi schools, sending...

It's technologically & economically developed, but not sociologically.

Some people here think corruption is a money related thing. More than the money, it is the excessive & 'unaccounted' power that leads to corruption. It was because of the lack of accountability & excessive authority that the current regime delving into excessive corruption. Right now in India...

By supporting the Lokpal bill, the Indians are acting the Indian government & system as a whole (Judiciary, Legislation). The Lokpal bill will render the Indian government & system powerless, void. The corruption & the power will become more concentrated, & will go to the Lokpal.

No, you didn't understand what I was trying to say. I wasn't trying to be condescending. The Tunisia uprisings triggered the whole "Arab Springs/revolution". The Tunisia uprisings were a result of the high unemployment, food inflation, corruption & poor living conditions for most Tunisians...

What's happening in India isn't really different to what happened in Tunisia or Egypt.

Everyone knows Saudi Arabia is a developed country, but it's not a developed society. Any society that segregates men & women, doesn't let women drive, forces people to go to Jummah prayers, is governed by a monarchy is not a developed society.

A God is the Supreme Being, & not something we can comprehend. God is not something we can see, or feel, or touch, or even understand. God is not something we can eat, or anything like that. Call it arrogance or whatever you want. Not true. I still have family today living in UP & Bihar, &...

Actually, the Lokpal would oversee the PM, Judiciary, members of Parliament, everyone. Besides its own prisons, it would have the power of investigation, surveillance & prosecution. This is equal to a parallel (& a stronger one too) system to India's current system, not just a panel that...

It'll become bankrupt then, & could break up like the Soviet Union.

Opponents accused Indira Gandhi & the Congress of electoral fraud in 1971. Jayaprakash Narayan wanted a provincial government change in Bihar. It resulted in the 'Total Revolution', got a lot of opportunistic extreme elements (such as the RSS) in their movement, & as a result of it, the movement...

Most schools in America, especially in public schools here, do not have any kind of uniform. You are allowed to wear whatever you want, & countless young Muslim girls wear the Hijab in Middle School & High School, & live regular lives. There are certain private schools (& these include Catholic...
