Lady in white

Benazir Bhutto was not the saint that she is made out to be in the innumerable eulogies. She and her ex-con husband squirreled away a billion odd dollars by granting licenses to import gold, setting up a regulatory body to enhance customs duties(and happily embezzling part of the funds to offshore a/cs),setting up sugar mills,granting exclusive rights to aircraft manufacturers, illegal commissions from overseas tractor companies... the list goes on.She has even been accused of complicity in the killing of her brother Murtaza Bhutto in 1996 by uniformed police officers whilst she was Prime Minister.

A exclusive video footage of the last few moments of Benazir.

Unique Anti Corruption Drive

Corruption is a bane in India. Almost no government and administrative work of yours can be done without bribing the corrupt officials in that department. Even entry level workers in almost all government enterprises rake in the moolah by being corrupt.According to the World Bank report on the corruption level in 200 countries,India was ranked at the 47th place in the list of most corrupt countries.
The temptation to abuse public power for private gain is mainly because of the selfish interests of these corrupt public servants.So ubiquitous is the malignant spread of this disease of corruption that it is almost socially accepted in Indian society.
In such a low morale environment, it is encouraging to see someone fight against it by blogging against the corrupt system.Jayshree, whose husband,Vijayakumar,a Government employee,is fighting high level corruption from within the system. Since he has made powerful enemies by trying to expose the corruption, she is aiming to protect her husband by building an internet shield of people around him. Hence, the blog that she started.Read about their struggle here.
