THERE ARE THREE ORDERS OF HONESTY / INTEGRITY THAT EXIST. LET US EXAMINE THESE ONE BY ONE WITH EXAMPLES.

PRODUCTIVE  THIS IS THE ORDER OF HONESTY / INTEGRITY THAT MAY ALSO BE KNOWN AS CREATIVE, CONSTRUCTIVE OR DEVELOPMENTAL. PEOPLE PURSUING PRODUCTIVE HONESTY ARE TRULY REMARKABLE. NOT ONLYTHEY REMAIN STEADFAST IN HONESTY, THEY DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS UNDER THEIR DIRECT COMMAND TO DIGRESS FROM THE CHARTED PATH OF HONESTY AND INTEGRITY. AN INTERESTING EXAMPLE THAT COMES TO MY MIND IS THAT OF Ex-CHIEF ELECTION COMMISSIONER, TN SESHAN. HE IS THE HERO WHO INJECTED TOO MANY VALUES INTO THE ELECTION JUGGERNAUT OF BHARATVARSHA. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY, HE REVEALED FANGS THAT GO WITH THE OFFICE OF CEC. HE ALSO REVEALED THUNDEROUSLY, IF A BUREAUCRAT SO DESIRES, HE MAY COMPEL ANY FITHY POLITICIAN LIKE LALLOOO / MULAYAM TO BEND BACKWARD. HE WAS TRULY A MIGRAINE FOR THE RULING PARTY OF THE DAY. HIS RECORD IS JUST UNBEATABLE. HE WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY GIVEN SHIVERS DOWN THE SPINE OF EVEN THE MOST VICIOUS POLITICIAN OF THE NATION INDIRA GANDHI, HAD HE BEEN HER CONTEMPORARY. HE SUCCEEDED WHERE EVEN JUDICIAL LUMINARIES LIKE JUSTICE VR KRSHNA IYER FAILED. 13-DAY STAY-ORDER AGAINST THE JUDGEMENT OF ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT NULLIFYING HER ELECTION TO THE THEN LOK SABHA, CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED ON ANY GROUND WHATSOEVER. SESHEN PROVED BEYOND DOUBT, HOW MUCH A BUREAUCRAT CAN DO / ACHIEVE EVEN IN THIS SICKENING, MORTIFYING SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE IF HE IS RESOLUTE AND HONEST. IT IS YET ANOTHER CASE THAT AFTER HIS RETIREMENT, SOUL OF THE BUREAUCRAT IN HIM, GOT THE BETTER OF HIM, CONTESTED POSITIONS OF PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY DOWN TO LOK SABHA MEMBER, BEGGED AND SUPINED HIMSELF EVEN BEFORE THE ARROGANT ALBEIT WORST CM OF THE COUNTRY, JYOTI BASU AND DESTROYED HIS REPUTATION IRREPARABLY.

GEORGE FERNANDES IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF PRODUCTIVE HONESTY. AS INDUSTRIES MINISTER WITH MORARJI DESAI, HE OUSTED IBM AND COCA COLA, HANDED OVER A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO INDEGENOUS INDUSTRY TO GROW…AND THE RESULTS WERE MARVELLOUS. INDEGENOUS COMPUTER INDUSTRY GREW SO MUCH THAT IBM HAD A REAL TOUGH TIME TO RE-ENTER THE MARKET AND THEIR CHIEF, THOMAS KLEIN HAD TO REVISE THEIR PROJECT REPORT UMPTEEN TIMES BEFORE ENTERING. SAME WAS THE SUCCESS STORY OF SOFT DRINK INDUSTRY.

DESTRUCTIVE  SUCH PEOPLE ARE HONEST BUT INDULGE IN DESTRUCTIVE ACTIVITIES, EVEN IF HONESTLY. Ex-PM VP SINGH IS A BRILLIANT EXAMPLE. BY ANY STANDARD, HE WAS HONEST IF COMPARED TO ANY OTHET POLITICIAN. HOWEVER HIS AGENDA OF MANDALISATION WAS EXCRUCIATINGLY DISGUSTING. EXTENT OF DAMAGE THAT HE WROUGHT TO THE NATION JUST TO OUTDO HIS POLITICAL RIVALS, IS ENORMOUS TO SAY THE LEAST. IT SHALL CONSUME AGES FOR THE SINISTER EFFECTS TO BE WIPED OUT FROM THE PSYCHE OF BHARATIYA MIND. I BELIEVE, HIS WIFE WAS DEAD RIGHT IN DECLARING HIM ‘LUNATIC’ BEFORE ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT, JUST TO RETRIEVE THE VAST STRETCH OF LAND DONATED BY HIM TO SOME PEOPLE BEST KNOWN TO HIM. ONE DOES FIND BUREAUCRATS TOO ALBEIT RARELY, WHO ARE HONEST BUT HARDLY CONTRIBUTE TO JUSTIFY THEIR SALARIES THAT THEY DRAW, COURTESY THOSE ABSURD / RIDICULOUS PAY COMMISSIONS. THESE JOHNNIES ARE EVER OBSESSED WITH THE FACT THAT THEY ARE HONEST AND THE NATION SHOULD FEEL INDEBTED TO THEM. HENCE, NO NEED TO WORK...BECAUSE THEY ARE HONEST.

NON-PRODUCTIVE  INCUMBENT PM, GIANI MANMOHAN SINGH ‘SHIKHANDI’ IS THE MOST BRILLIANT EXAMPLE OF THIS VARIETY. NATION IS SLIPPING INTO ANARCHY AND THE FELLOW IS NOT EVEN FIDDLING LIKE A NERO !!! BUT HE IS HONEST !!! WE ALL ARE TOLERATING HIM, WANT TO TOLERATE MORE AND MORE OF HIM BECAUSE HE IS HONEST !!!! SIKHS ARE PROUD OF HIM INSTEAD OF BEING ASHAMED OF, BECAUSE HE IS HONEST !!! FIRST RATE VULGARIAN KHUSHWANT SINGH PRAISES HIM BECAUSE HE IS A SIKH, PM, SWORN IN SECOND TIME OUTSIDE NEHRU-GANDHI DYNASTY AND HONEST !!! HE IS LEADING A TEAM OF LOOTERS AND DACOITS, YET HE IS RESPECTABLE BECAUSE HE IS HONEST !!!

I CALLED HIM A ‘GIANI’ BECAUSE HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND EVEN BASICS OF BHARATIYA ECONOMY. HE ALWAYS DID HIS WORST TO REPLICATE THOSE SILLY OXFORDIAN, ECONOMIC UTOPIA INTO THIS COUNTRY THAT LED TO UNMITIGATED DISASTERS. RECALL 1991-96. HIS UNPLANNED, IDIOTIC LIBERALISATION ( ONLY EXTERNAL ) DESTROYED ENTIRE INDEGENOUS INDUSTRY, RAISED UNEMPLOYMENT AND DEVALUED RUPEE STEEPLY. HIS POLICIES WERE UTTERLY / BLATANTLY ANTI-NATIONAL. HE WAS OBSESSED WITH HIS  TRIPOS AND OXFORDIAN Ph.D., COULD NOT VISUALISE THAT ANCIENT BHARATIYA ECONOMIC WISDOM IS FAR, FAR SUPERIOR TO HIS OXFORDIAN ONE. BY THE WAY, HE HAS ANOTHER CLONE-ACCOMPLICE SITTING IN THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO ENSURE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF THE ECONOMY BEFORE HIS TENURE IS OVER, BEFORE HE REVERTS TO IMF !!!

I CALLED HIM ‘SHIKHANDI’ BECAUSE AFTER THE 26/11 ATTACK ON MUMBAI, THIS EMPTY-HEADED, SMILING IDIOT CALLED A PRESS CONFERENCE, “ORDERED” ISI CHIEF OF PAKISTAN TO FLY DOWN TO NEW DELHI AND EXPLAIN HIS CONDUCT !!!

IF HE HAD ORDERED NUKING OF PAKISTAN AFTER THAT SHIKHANDI-BRAND “ORDER”, I WOULD HAVE DECLARED HIM THE GREATEST PM THE NATION EVER HAD !!! BUT THAT WAS NOT TO BE. HOWEVER, HE IS DEAR TO ALL BECAUSE HE IS HONEST !!! THERE IS ONE ATTRIBUTE THAT HE SHARES WITH THE OLD MAN IN CHENNAI WHO HIDES HIS INTELLECTUAL BLINDNESS WITH BLACK GOGGLES…THIS MAN IN NEW DELHI TOO, HIDES HIS EMPTY HEADEDNESS UNDER…IF HE SO WISHES, HE IS VERY WELL POISED TO CREATE AN UNBEATABLE HISTORY BECAUSE HE HAS NOTHING TO LOSE AS HE HAS COMPLETED HIS INNINGS…BUT THE TRAGEDY IS THAT HE IS A ‘SHIKHANDI’ TO THE CORE OF HIS MIND.

ON THE CONTRARY, DISHONESTY HAS ONLY ONE ORDER. ALL DISHONEST PEOPLE BELONG TO THE SAME ORDER.

I SELECTED ONLY THOSE EXAMPLES WHO ARE PUBLICLY KNOWN FOR THE PURPOSE OF BETTER ILLUSTRATION. IF ANYONE ADDS MORE CATEGORIES TO THE BENIGN ORDERS OF HONESTY / INTEGRITY, I SHAL BE PLEASED TO BE EDUCATED ON THAT FRONT.
