I cannot condone the way he is going about it.
I have a few question to all Anna's supporters.
1) Do you vote
2) Do you always think and vote
3) Have you ever broken any traffic rules and got away by paying an "unofficial fine"?

Isn't there a legal cap? Oh ok wait. I think I see what you are saying.
I have always wondered. What do these people do with all this money? I mean if I hit the jackpot, I would buy an island (with WiFi of course), upgrade myself to the latest fastest lightest Mac, build myself a 2 room house, a bedroom and a "everything else room", fill it with books, a rocking chair, a nice music system, a side table with the choicest whisky, a labrador and a bicycle to roam around the island. How much would it cost? A million?
And look at these guys.

But at least where you and I live (the US and Canada), if you want to get a driver's licence, you just go down to the office and take the test. You don't have to pay the examiner a little bit extra to make sure you get a passing score. And if you want to get your new house connected to the city water system, you call up the city and they will (eventually) make that happen. You don't have to pay the guy at city hall a couple of hundred bucks to get it to happen this year rather than in 2014.
But if I understand correctly, this sort of thing happens all the time in India.

But this has got to change at some point and now that whole India is standing up against corruption, I'm standing up too...

Keeping this in mind, can you suggest alternative way of doing it. Do you have better idea?... Have you given your suggestion? If no then what is use of criticizing everyone?

I fail to see the connection between academic qualifications and ability to govern. Would Einstein have made a good prime minister? I doubt. In the past I have had the honor of working with a German gentleman. He had a PhD in nuclear physics. He got bored with it after a few years and shifted to programming. He was dazzlingly brilliant (if you read and followed his code which was very well documented). But he was notoriously difficult to comprehend during conference calls because he lacked the ability (or the will) to elucidate to us lesser mortals.
Also, academic qualifications do not necessarily indicate ability.
