‘ Thousands of Dubeys have suffered fighting corruption ’

There must be thousands of Dubeys who have suffered fighting the corrupt Indian business class and bureaucracy. They are not graduates from the IITs and have not written to the PMO with their complaints — so they are discarded in the bin of history.

Indians have to ask themselves whether they want to live a peaceful life, bring prosperity for all citizens — or live in a crime-ridden, chaotic society, with facilities available to only a privileged few.

At least some revulsion for this corrupt system has been generated after the Dubey tragedy. My condolences to the bereaved family.

Satyendra Dubey’s murder is nothing but another ‘‘achievement’’ for the inefficient governance that prevails in India. It is said that honesty pays. If this is what one earns for being honest, then society would be better off without its so called moral values.

Ironically, even at this juncture, our politicians are more concerned with protecting their political image rather than making even minimum efforts to catch the culprits. As readers, can we do something more than simply criticise our democracy and remain helpless?

Every morning, when I pick up The Indian Express and stare at the photograph of Satyendra Dubey, something just stabs my heart. In a country where atrocity is an everyday happening, we have become immune to such stories. But there is something in the Dubey case that makes you want to yell at the government, to ask, ‘‘Will justice be denied again?’’

I hope you keep the issue alive.
