On Satyam, greed and corruption

Are the heroes that we worship really true.?. Are the brands we talk about really profess the value that it is said to carry?. Or the market and society too competitive and harsh, that one when faced with the wall, takes short-cuts and loose moral fortitude?. Or can the society be corrupt only in the public sector and not in the private sector?. Or is that corruption is a state of the mind in India, and all our great men in public life, government and private sector are corrupt by their circumstances and environment, and it is just a matter of time, when it comes out in practice, and a matter of chance that it get's caught; for the state of mind of India society is attuned to this?.

It is strange that with all the modern day regulation and technology, for years an Index stock could have created or cooked up almost 2 Billion dollars. It seems true that, the nation collectively believes that our politicians cannot fail, our heroes cannot do wrong and our stars are allowed a few minor mistakes and the system keeps looking to the other side, and do not want to open a Pandora's box, but the poor men and women of India are just another arithmetic for the census and for whom the system profess democracy and rule of law and then lets to rot.
