Recently, a news item appeared in an English daily read: “Can IGP overhaul corruption riddled police?” No, it’s impossible, under the present circumstances anyway. It will be like attempting to change someone’s blood group or his genes; or making India shelve the ludicrous myth that Kashmir is its attoot-ang. It will also be like hoping rather absurdly that our soulless rulers and their worthless cronies will ever sever their flirtatious romance with corruption and instead develop close relationship with honesty and justice.
