Activism Quote by K S Venkataraman
“Start dealing with high level and stop the so-called political leaders from being wrong models. Corruption can be eliminated from India in a matter of days. Understand the corrupt structure and don't try to stifle the voice against corruption wherever it is heard, by whomsoever it is given, if you are interested in cleansing the administration and safeguarding our democracy.”
