Historically, the Indian masses are always against the Establishment- a ruling class or ruling regime. Since, Mughal's time, except the Akbar's reign, people felt that rule is alien to them. This mentality of them has made them to be more betrayer to the Establishment rather than assuming any constructive role. Even, during British or 'brown British'- Nehru's or post Nehruvian era as is known- period, regimes never made an attempt to win over the masses and make them feel as a people of one big country- India. Ironically, all along the history, people have expressed their group belongingness in terms of caste, community, statehood, religion etc. This familiar expression-towards narrow lines- make them to grab more share from the national resources to their group. While doing so, if any one makes some private gain it's just the passing affair.
But my question still remains- why being over reactive to corruption? I think it's because, they are comparatively hypocritical and by making over reaction each group tries to sieze as much power as possible. Moreover, its the expression of their emotional character than the reasoned mind.
What I feel, intuitively, is by the start of cricket World Cup, people will get something to get their mind occupied. They will get the tea time chatter topic of their favourite than these political topics. By the time, CBI submits it's final report on 2G on 31st of March, media may be having little space to cover it, let alone follow it. Even, the middle class- consumer of such stories- will be little interested, as this appraisal in corporate India is going to make middle class much more richer and they will be occupied with their own personal finances and newer responsibilities in their work environment.
But final impact of this extensive coverage of corruption is this- It reassures people that it is wise to carry that betrayal character towards Establishment. And, going forward, they take and give more bribe to get their things done than never before.
