Indias Anti-Corruption Movements
Indias Anti-Corruption Movements Kanika Dass 1.0 Introduction These days corruption is the word occurring maximum in the print and electronic media and the mind of the people in India today is constantly preoccupied with no other item as the issue of corruption. There are scams galore today which is happening in every corner of our country so that the country is even nicknamed as ââ¬Å"Scamstanâ⬠which means land of scams. Perhaps in India the most chanted word next to Gods name is Corruption. According to Elliot and Meril writes, ââ¬Å"Corruption is a willful failure to perform a specified duty in order to receive some direct or indirect personal gainâ⬠[1]. Thus in corruption a person willfully neglects his specified duty in order to have undue advantage. In fact to call an act corruption, the following characteristics should be present namely, in corruption the specified duty is neglected, there is a willful negligence of the duty and have a personal gain. The prevention of corruption act which proposed in 1988 defines, ââ¬Å"Cor ruption means and includes all corrupt activities notified by a body designed by the government from time to timeâ⬠. 2.0 Combating corruption In India a three pronged approach is advocated in combating corruption namely enactment and enforcement of a law against it, mobilization of public opinion against behavior, and the strict vigilance. Accordingly the Indian legal system came up with The Prevention of Corruption Act (PCA) 1988, chapter 9 of our Indian Penal Code (IPC) states the measure for the violation of corruption by the citizen of the country, and it also state that any citizens found in this act is liable under criminal conduct under the judiciary. In chapter IX A under no.171-B of the Indian Penal Code, Bribery is defined under offences relating to moral misconduct and criminal activity. Indian judiciary has introduced various commissions to check corruption namely, The Prevention of Corruption Act (PCA), The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC). The lokpal bill has along chequered history as it was first rooted in 1968 in terms of the recommendation of the administrative reforms commission. The introduction of The Right to Information Act (RTI) has given the right to citizens to force the government to lifts its veil of secrecy and ensure a corrupt-free system. In spite of this during Nehru era we had innumerable commissions of inquiry on corruption namely, The Railway Corruption Inquiry Committee under Acharya Kripalani (1953), The Vivian Bose Commission (1962), The Santhanam Committee on Prevention of Corruption (1964), The Wanchoo Committee on Black Money (1974). After these unsuccessful commissions hailed the campaign of Anna Hazare with his team of Santhosh Hedge, the retired Lokayukta of Karnataka, RTI activist Arvind Kejarwal, former Police officer Kiran Bedi and others came forward to mobilize young people to the cause and to gain the massive support to the Hazare movement they invited middle class and the young gene ration of the country to protest against corruption in the country.[2] 3.0 Anna Hazare`s Anti-Corruption Movement I would be wrong if I say the fight against corruption began with this movement because the awareness had begun earlier but it was more hidden and less intense in action. With the nexus of the state with corporations, the poor losing more and more of their assets and the governing class increasing their wealth and publicly vulgarizing it, there was a pent up anger among the people of the country which the government underestimated. And this gradually turns into movement and these anti corruption movement had the following context for the movement namely, About 15% of the 548 Lok Sabha and 245 Rajya Sabha MPs face serious criminal charge for murder, rape and extortion. A high court judge of west Bengal faces impeachment by parliament and the chief justice of Sikkim took voluntary retirement. There have been serious charges of corruption against some judges of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has voices concern over corruption in the lower levels of Judiciary. An ex-cabinet minister, a sitting MP and a few corporate honchos are in jail facing serious corruption charges for cheating thousands of crores of our money. The commonwealth games which should have been a showcase of excellence to remember, is now remembered for completely the reasons of corruption and this is the symbolic of a rotten governance system in every walk of our life. The members of parliament have been increasing their salaries perks and allowances. People in the country do not believe that our parliamentarians need that sum of money for the services they render; it is the national wealth that they have been engulfing. Parliament has not functioned for several days with parliamentarians collecting their perks and salaries for the work done and meetings not attended. Several chief ministers in state have been involved in corruption of great magnitude. Their land deals, mining operations, oil scandals and involvement in financial and business deals have lowered their status and dignity in the public realm. Elections have become a mockery. Where candidates and parties try to outdo each other during elections by corrupt deals. Promises are made that are never implemented, all kinds of tricks are adopted, and people are divided on various grounds. Posts are auctioned. Even the teachers, police officers and people in the administration have to pay bribes for transfers. Ordinary employees of the state-clerks, peons and the others are caught with huge excess and unaccounted wealth that does not belong to them. It is a robbery of public wealth. Those close to the administration have unaccounted money.[3] These were few of the contexts of the Anti Corruption Movement led by Anna Hazare. These issues were addressed in the lokpal bill. 3.1 The Evaluation and the Limitations of Movement I feel this movement had worked for the instant solutions to the immediate problems, where the changes in any society are slow and gradual. The other major aspect which involved in the movement were the middle class people of the society who had only material cause in their minds of getting things at the cheaper rate by bringing back the black money to the country and during the movement there were many money (profit oriented) factor came into picture. We used the Gandhian symbols of white-cloth caps mixed with new age symbols of candles but there ideology was about market exchanges.[4] And this movement was not a social justice movement like our Independence movement because any movement should be driven by the masses but this movement is driven by a single person who is transformed as a messiah by a disillusioned people. Corruption by those in power is all about he invites people to fight against. The method to get rid of that corruption for hazare is all about a law to be enacted. What a simple solution for a complicated problem! What Anna is determined to do is mobilize the people, dictate a bill to the parliament, and ask them to act. This is authoritarianism because in democracy all voices have to be heard and decisions can be made only through dialogue. This bill needed wide consultation and the team of Anna Hazare alone does not constitute civil society. On the other hand bill needed to bring everyone into accountability because judiciary and the parliamentarians were not under the bill. Take the case of India`s caste system where we are not able eradicate it. The caste system is a socio-religious corruption which is more dangerous than the corruption Anna Hazare engaged to fight against. Dalits still suffer untold pain and discrimination because of this corruption it is like a cancer and this caste corruption is on the increase manifested in different forms. Why was Anna Hazare silent on caste corruption? We have a social evil of prostitution thrives in the name of religion (Devadasi system), female feticide is concern. , we had anti-Sikh riots in 1984, Gujarat genocide of 2002, Kandhamal riots of 2008-09, these are form of corruption that has destroyed and divided our society, and many questioned where Anna was during this situation? Dalit columnist Chandrabhan Prasad says, ââ¬Å"The Anna Hazare phenomenon is leading us to the rejection of representative democracy and this movement is against the India`s political democracy itselfâ⬠[5]. Because those involved in the movement want everybody to believe that only politicians are corrupt. 4.0 Conclusion The massive participation of youngsters in anti-corruption movement led by team Anna is seen to achieve hidden interests of invisible forces. As the team had good financial support from where did this aid come from to a normal social activist. Anna followed fasting method in the protest which was considered has the warning and treat for the nations by Mahatma Gandhi he also said people should not go on hunger strike after the independence of our country. Being the follower of Gandhi, Anna has disobeyed what Gandhi has asked us to follow. This movement has brought a class of people to the politics in the notion of making a difference. The public opinion is valued in governance but that public opinion cannot be based on the class interests. The common people are affected by the corruption of our country and we have also contributed to it.

Isolation of Clove Oil
Objective The objective of this experiment is to perform a steam distillation using a microscale distillation apparatus and isolate a natural product from cloves. Introduction By performing steam distillation we can isolate eugenol at lower temperature than its usual boiling point of 248 degree Celsius. Eugenol belongs to a category called essential oil. Many of these compounds are used as flavoring and perfumes and in the past were considered the essence of plant from which they were derived. Structure of eugenol (clove oil) and eugenol acetate: Reagents: Eugenol, CH2Cl2, Br2, FeCl3, MethanolProcedure: Co-distillation We first combine 15 mL of water with 1 g of crushed, ground cloves in a 25-mL round-bottom flask. Then added a spin bar to the 25-mL round-bottom flask and assembled the microscale distillation apparatus. We made certain that the ground cloves were well wetted. We maintained the temperature of the sand bath at approximately 130 à °C and wrapped the bottom of the still with aluminum foil. Then periodically transfer the distillate from the Hickman head to a 15 mL screw cap centrifuge tube and continue the steam distillation until 5ââ¬â8 mL of distillate have been collected.Then we started the extraction process by adding 2 mL of CH2Cl3 to the waterââ¬âeugenol emulsion. Cap the tube and shake it frequently. We then allowed the layers to separate and transferred the CH2Cl2ââ¬âeugenol solution to a clean, dry 5- mL conical vial. We made sure no water was transferred in this step. Then we added 1 mL of CH2Cl2 to the waterââ¬âeugenol emulsion, cap and shake the tube. Allowed the layers to separate and transfer the CH2Cl2ââ¬âeugenol solution to the 5-mL vial used previously and made certain that no water is transferred during this step.We then added 1 mL of CH2Cl2 to the waterââ¬âeugenol emulsion and shook the tube. We allowed the layers to separate and transferred the CH2Cl2ââ¬âeugenol solution to the 5-mL vial used in previ ous step. We made certain that no water was transferred during this step. Finally we finished the co distillation process by drying the CH2Cl2ââ¬âeugenol solution with 2-3 microspatulas of anhydrous sodium sulfate. Evaporation Transfer the dried CH2Cl2ââ¬âeugenol solution to a clean, dry, tared, 5-mL conical vial. And rinse the drying agent with a few drops of CH2Cl2 and transfer CH2Cl2 rinse to the 5- mL conical vial.In a fume hood, evaporate the CH2Cl2 using a hot water bath at approximately 40 à °C max 55 à °C. Classification Test of eugenol (clove oil) The eugenol isolated will be tested for unsaturation using the Br2Test and aromaticity with the ferric chloride test. Br2 Test First we dissolved the clove oil in 2? 3 mL of methanol then added 5 drops of clove? oil solution to a test tube. Then we added few drops of Br2 reagent and gently swirled and recorded our observations. W then prepared a control slide and matched our results to it. FeCl3 testDissolved the clove o il in 2? 3 mL of methanol Added 5 drops of clove? oil solution to a test tube Added a few drops of FeCl3 solution to test tube Gently swirled and record your observation Results and Calculations: Br2 test results. Original Br2 was yellow in color but when it was added to our solution it turned colorless. This shows that we had double bonds formation. Benzene gives us double bonds. Our results matched the result we obtained when we compared with control that we had created. FeCl3 test results: Our solution turned light yellowish in color.Control was dark orange in color. Discussion: Our benzene results indicated that we had double bonds formation. Benzene gives us double bonds. Our results matched the result we obtained when we compared with control that we had created. Our FeCl3 test gave us light yellowish color solution while the control was somewhat orange. This could probably mean that we had Eugenol acetate instead of Eugenol. References: Introduction to Organic Laboratory Tech niques: A Microscale Approach. Pavia, Lampman, Kriz, and Engel.

Macbeth and Gladiator Essay Essay Example
Macbeth and Gladiator Essay Essay Example Macbeth and Gladiator Essay Paper Macbeth and Gladiator Essay Paper Although composed centuries apart, both Shakespearean Macbeth and Riddled Coots Gladiator explore the similar idea of ambition, through their villainous characters Macbeth and Commodes. Macbeth composed In 1606 for King James delineates a noble soldiers character transformation from an ambitious Individual to corrupted tyrant as supernatural Witches and Lady Macbeth Ignite his desire for power. Similarly, Gladiators vicious antagonist Is a malevolent personage, whose desire to be loved transforms into corrupted ambition. These similar ideas of ambition are presented in very different ways, one through the medium of drama while the other wrought film. Despite the differences, the texts establish, through literary and film techniques that ambition, without a moral framework will lead to destruction and downfall. Shakespeare portrays the destructive consequences of ambition, through the character transformation of his eponymous protagonist Macbeth. Macbeth is initially characterized as a brave and noble soldier, who is highly respected by many. However, through the interactions with the abhorrent witches, it is revealed that the physical courage he holds is Joined by a consuming ambition for power. The itches prophecies that Macbeth will be Thane of Castor and Shall be king hereafter tempt his latent ambition for power, metaphorically poisoning his psychological state, full of scorpions Is my mind; prompting him to perform treacherous acts. Macbeth believes committing regicide, ironically, Might be the be- all and end-all, although his ambitious usurpation of the throne results in destructive consequences such as remorse, paranoia and his demise. In contrast to the start of the play, Machetes characterization changes from good to evil, illustrated by Malcolm metaphorical comment This tyrant, whose sole name blisters our onuses. Shakespeare establishes through Malcolm inimical words, that Macbeth is no longer seen as a noble soldier, but as a tyrannical murderer whose name cannot be spoken of, depicting the consequences of unchecked ambition. Lady Macbeth Is the driving force behind Machetes Immoral acts and corrupted ambition. She Is ruthless, stronger and more ambitious than her husband. Her ambition causes her to go to extreme measures to gain power to the throne; Including neglecting her femininity to be able to perform acts of cruelty and violence of a man, Come to my mans breast and take my milk for gall, metaphorically revealing the evil and corrupted ambition within her. When Macbeth hesitates to murder, she repeatedly questions his manhood and calls him a coward; manipulating him into committing regicide. However, the psychological implications of murder result in her infected mind and she slowly descended into madness. Lady Macbeth is so plagued with guilt from her ambition that her hands become bloodstained and she is unable to wash the blood away, Out, damned spot! Out I say! Who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him? Shakespeare utilizes a blood motif to symbolize the everlasting guilt for the murder of the king; a consequence of ambition without a moral framework. Machetes hamster, unchecked ambition, causes his rise as king, yet also leads to destructive consequences Initiating his downfall. Through Macbeth and Lady Machetes disruption to the Chain of Being, Shakespeare downfall. This is displayed with Machetes character foil Macadam. Macadams ambition was only for the good of Scotland, contrasting to Macbeth who only had fatal self- desires. Macbeth begins to erode the Chain of Being by murdering King Duncan, causing a storm that makes the earth ferrous and shake. The symbolism of the storm during Dunces murder reflects the disorder and chaos within the state from the disruption of the Chain of being. Immediately after Dunces murder Macbeth starts to unwind the natural world around. Restoration to the chain of being is returned by Macadam who kills Macbeth Shakespeare ends the play with Macadam killing Macbeth, restoring order to the country and chain of being, appeasing his audience. (Add quote) Riddled Coots 2001 film, Gladiator, utilizes film techniques and horse-trading to portray the destructive consequences of ambition without a moral frame. Commodes, Gladiators antagonist is the son of emperor Marcus Aurelias who desperately desires to be loved, yet also has a vaulting ambition to gain power to the throne. His characterization is comparable to Shakespearean Macbeth who also is corrupted by his ambition for power yet also desires to be loved. Commodes, who is not a moral man, is portrayed as an evil and corrupted character throughout the entire film, which is exemplified by the constant chiaroscuro lighting. Commodes irrupted ambition is initially depicted after he is informed that the emperors power will be passed to Maximum, causing him to murder the emperor in order for him to gain power. His ambitious usurper to the throne reflects the regicide of King Duncan by Macbeth. However, Commodes ambitious yearnings have physical consequences, metaphorically splitting [his] head to pieces depicting that corrupted ambition will lead to ones downfall. Maximum is Romeos greatest general, the antithesis of ambition which is portrayed through his humility and passion for his country. This is established through the motif of him rubbing dirt into his hands, metaphorically emphasizing that he is grounded and passionate towards his home land. His passion for Rome makes him comparable to Shakespearean Macadam who cares for the well-being of Scotland. Commodes character being told by the people to Go Away! delineates the disrespect he has through the low saturated scene. However, Juxtaposing Commodes, Maximum is adored by the people of Rome which is depicted through the brightly saturated longings and dietetic sound of the crowd repeatedly chanting Maximum! Reflecting Macadams character, Maximum is similarly humane, dirt cleans Off lot easier than blood, and respected by many. The pinnacle of Commodes corrupted ambition is represented through his duel with Maximum to gain the peoples adoration. His self-proclaimed invincibility and ambition exacerbates his hubris. As the dramatic , non-dietetic music crescendos, Commodes rises embracing light however in contrast Maximum has his head hung portraying his humility. The inversion of atypical costuming of heroes and villains depicts Commodes self-glorification- as he is dressed in white and Maximum in black. The white robes Commodes arrogantly wears become covered in blood portraying his insincere purity and corrupted ambition. Maximum, mirroring Macadam, restores order to Rome by killing Commodes. However, unlike Commodes, Maximums death is recognized -he was a soldier of Rome, honor him. A high shot reveals Rome honoring Maximum. Both Shakespearean Macbeth and Riddled Coots Gladiator development; however have differing contexts. Macbeth and Commodes are destroyed by excessive ambition which leads to their downfall, didactically conveying the importance of ambition being accompanied by a moral framework.

U02d2 Stark 2 Legislation Review Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 500 words
U02d2 Stark 2 Legislation Review - Essay Example ns are not allowed to refer patients to any designated health service where the physician or the immediate family will be benefited with a financial relationship, unless statutory exception exists. The fundamental reason to develop Stark II was to ensure that over utilization of the health care items are not made, and to provide the patients with a choice of health care that they can use, rather than limiting them to a single provider, or health care organization (Janney, 2005). Also, this was developed to help ensure there is fair competition among the health care industry and there is no form of monopoly that is set in the market. The enactment of this law has led to a positive aspect for the industry as it allows the patients to only take the tests that are needed rather than needing to take tests which are not needed but only given as a financial interest of the doctors.
