Ekakizunj the lone warrior against corruption and crime
As i see it, our society makes no black mark on the corrupt. They take hefty bribes and enjoy lavish lifestyles. And most importantly, the guilty gets away with it. These people are visible and their acts invisible to general public and even their own family. This project is an expression of the guilt. The way we can start this crusade against corruption is to tell them we are keeping tab on them. Make their profiles and split open their ways of earning money for everyone to see. Their families, their friends, the society in which they live should know how they are earning the money.
Corruption in my opinion is equivalent to prostitution. Someone who sells themself for some money. People with no values and morals in life. The only difference is they don't contract any diseases in the act.
I have started a website http://www.ekakizunj.com in this fight against crime and corruption.The site is similar to wikipedia in that it uses the same mediawiki engine. The edits and information are moderated to add credibility. Exhort everyone to do their bit in this fight against corruption. Make a profile of the corrupt around you. Substantiate it with newspaper reports and your own evidence.
Become an Ekaki Zunj, the lone warrior
