Freedom from Corruption Summit | April 27-28, 2011 | New Delhi

Its a remarkable coincidence that Transparency International India and 5th Pillar have come together to organize the Freedom from Corruption Summit in April 2011. In the last few days, we have witnessed an unprecedented national movement – people from all across the country are coming together to stand-up against corruption, lead by the renowned social activist, Anna Hazare.

The summit will be a conclave of ideas and aspirations and a converging of those who wish to see and contribute to shaping, a vibrant India free from the shackles of corruption. Various speakers and representative voices ranging from the governing ecosystem (including young political leadership), law enforcement agencies to our rural sarpanch, civil society, domain experts from international anti-corruption agencies and more, paired with some of the most dynamic voices from media will be present at the conference

The Freedom from Corruption summit is on April 27-28, 2011 at the India Habitat Center in New Delhi. You can register here!

    Most of the communities in India (such as Bengali), are succumbed in 'Culture of Poverty'(a theory introduced by an American anthropologist Oscar Lewis), irrespective of class or economic strata, lives in pavement or apartment. Nobody is at all ashamed of the deep-rooted corruption, decaying general quality of life, worst Politico-administrative system, weak mother language, continuous absorption of common space (mental as well as physical, both). We are becoming fathers & mothers only by self-procreation, mindlessly & blindfold. Simply depriving their(the children) fundamental rights of a decent, caring society, fearless & dignified living. Do not ever look for any other positive alternative behaviour (values) to perform human way of parenthood, i.e. deliberately co-parenting of those children those are born out of ignorance, real poverty. All of us are being driven only by the very animal instinct. If the Bengali people ever be able to bring that genuine freedom (from vicious cycle of 'poverty') in their own life/attitude, involve themselves in 'Production of Space' (Henri Lefebvre), at least initiate a movement by heart, decent & dedicated Politics will definitely come up. – Siddhartha Bandyopadhyay, 16/4, Girish Banerjee Lane, Howrah-711101.
