Gandhiji (5) A Simple Strategy: If 1.21 billion people ask for a "Corruption Free India" can anyGovernment refuse to give it?

This is probably inspired from a dialogue in Film, "Gandhi".

A British officer asked Gandhiji,...."What makes you think that we will leave India?".

Gandhiji replied, "If millions of people will ask you to leave India, you will leave India".

To the British Officer, Gandhiji looked like a mad person.

The issue is relevant today also. Suppose if 1.21 billion people ask for a "Corruption Free India", can any Government refuse it?

May be all we need to do is to just drop a postcard and to request government to give a corruption free India.
