Indian economy seems to be plagued by corruption and scams in slowing down its momentum and hurting citizen to make Rational choices in their daily existence, from deciding on things like education for children, transportatio, taking their meals to meeting all their existential needs. This leads one to make irrational choices, one of which is to be corrupt.

The intensity of corruption is ruling our country everywhere. The citizen of our country have been being cheated by the vested interest in the higher echelon of our society. Whether rational or irrational choices, the prescribed amount or percentage has been fixed to get the things done from the authorities. The well to do people in our society can afford those kick-backs but what about the ordinary people and middle class people who are not in a position to pay.However, certain political scandals and scams have been brought to light and still there are unearthed in the level of bureaucrats who are in hand & glove with the top business houses. It seems that the corruption becomes the part of our routine life.   

Thanks for the referral Mr. Mathew Ji.

My worry is even at this age, these spineless people have lost propriety and accountability. How would they expect our younger generation to emulate them? I think, we both are in sync in this issue. Our concern for the country is much higher than those who run this country! Thanks for sharing your thoughts Mr. Cherian.

Mr. Murali, what I am saying is even if they paly hide and seek with everyone, we should be in a position to comprehend what they say analyse it and see whether they are hoodwinking us or is there any meaning to what they say and do. If we miss out on our comprehensive power any time in life then we all are condemned to be innmates in Hell accoding to the Poet as I mentioned in my previous post.

Mr. Murlidharan, Let me elicite Dante in his Inferno, he describes hell as a place where the 'inmates have lost their ability to "comprehend"'. Our country has become no different, majority of them cannot understand what is being told or happening around them, I mean the scientific structure of it. Only the supeficialities are known, I mean the superposition, the decomposed variables are not fathomable to most of the citizen, event those with long tails and caps. Then like Goethe says we live simple and lowly so nothing much untoward happens except a budding economy presents us with. Hopefuly a child will be in a position to grow to an adult then to oldage and sane farewell later in a rational manner as our nation become better endowed with better scientific ideas decipherable to masses then. Thanks.

Statements are made by every Statesman, as they have to say something for the audience. Our irony is majority of them are "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"!

Sometimes when a citizen think of the noble cause of taking care of family may not be in a position to accomodate thoughts on the means employed in getting endowed whichever means coming his way.

Government can do something about it. They can look into the Economic Theory of Choices of Professor Friedman and Modigliani and many more who wrote on Rational choices before they emabark on creating policies, and to give some delibration without 'prejudice' how policies can be enacted to a scale which can help a citizen to make and live rationaly from cradle to grave.

"All that glitters is not gold" - most of the time, we fall prey to uncanny way of doing things to get the quicker outcome! Irrational thinking happens when we focus only on the outcome, not on the means of achieving that outcome, thereby losing our principles, at times.

Irrationality is uncanniness which is 'mysterious and surprising' nature of events. Rationality is the visibility of objectives from ones actions. Everyday Indian citizen are faced with choices where they have to take decisions which tend to be irrational including the choice to be corrupt or not to corrupt or to scam or not to scams, in decisions threatening their own existence. This is due to the irrationality embeded in the processes designed for daily performance of the activity. One is not left with choices other than be irrational to exist.
