Will Corruption come down ?
Today I went to ICICI Home Loans department to get a provisional EMI certificate; all the computers were down and I had to return without even registering a request. While going and returning I noticed that important junctions were policed by woman traffic police. They were standing at vantage positions and directing the traffic efficiently. They were also ruthless pushing back the vehicles crossing the zebra cross. I found them more professional than their male counterparts we come across often. (by the way, when I returned from Shanghai on 30 December, 2008, I found one male immigration officer sleeping on his chair, when there was a big queue standing for immigration clearance...what a sight and what a shame!) I did not find the police woman standing by the side of the road to catch an unwary offender. I did not see them checking the Licence etc., to make money for themselves. If only their male counterparts learn these from the professional female traffic police, probably we will have a beginning of the end of the corruption era. Extending this further, can we have more and more women in charge of sensitive Government positions that are potential corruption centres ? I am aware of Mayavatis and Jayalalithas....but their corruption is at a higher level - the common man is not directly affected (except in cases like the MLA killing the PWD Engineer for not paying for Mayavati's birhtday party a sum of Rs.5000000). At least with women manning sensitive jobs in Government we may reduce corruption at the lower levels. What is your view ?

Till money is the pursuit of human existance,corruption will exist! Corruption is not gender based, it comes with power! Like it was only a matter of time till women became traffic constables, it is only time before they become corrupt.
