Wikileaks is exciting now. But gradually, the public will get used to these leaks. It will be a part of general knowledge. The corrupt as well as the victim would know the reality. And just as the shark and the jelly fish live in the same sea, both the parties would continue to exist in their own spaces.
I wouldn't comment on the other parts of the world. But in India, Corruption is a culture.
Fighting corruption sounds like an Idealist concept in India. But in the domain of Realism, Corruption is a way of life in India. It is here to stay and it will grow to enormous proportion in the coming years.
Just as there is no end in sight of for activities like pornography, prostitution, rape or murder, there is no end for corruption.
Indian Union is formed on the basis of corruption. With the coming of coalition politics, Corruption will grow in enormous proportion. Each party sends its representative to book a seat in the Union Cabinet so that they can slice off as much money as possible. If this is not done, the 'republic by force and coersion' (called India) would collapse.

The very process followed in nabbing the ULFA and NDFB leaders from Bangladesh is loaded with corruption. In March 2010, Union Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee went to Bangladesh with a briefcase enloaded with US $ 1 billion.
The Govt of India handed over a package of 1000 million (= 1 billion= 100 crore) to the Bangladeshi govt for handing over the leaders of the militant groups.
1000 Million = 100 Crore = 1 Billion
1,000,000,000 is the numeral for 1 billion.
And now we have all militant leaders pouring into the state. (I doubt the bribe given to the govt of Bangladesh might be even more than the amount mentioned in the media. Official data is always miserly than reality).
So, we see Corruption is the backbone of India. It is Omnipresent, Omnipotent....All Pervading, All Powerful. It is used to get things done in all fronts.

Root of corruption lies withinin the system.Within the Rules and regulations of the adminstrative establisment that we inheritated from British imperialism without much change.The Dr Ambedkar's thesis for doctorate digree was on subject how British treasury used cheat in exchage rate of rupees to pound.Initially, Cambridge university suggested for review but Dr Ambedkar had refused to modify his observtion finally University was compelled to confer doctorate degree to Dr Ambedkar. The Demand for transparecy in the system might help .

Corruption has become a part of human civilization and there are news of corruption in every nation. But in India, the scenario is quite different. Say for Assam, there are always some news of corruption in the media, but will any heavyweight candidates, whose names were always in the news in the past for wrong reasons, loose their seat in the recently concluded Assembly Election? Definitely not, most of them, except a few will win. Will they win their seats by manipulating the EVM machines? No, the answer is. They will win because the common voters voted them. Now the question is: where did those news of corruption do? Nothing, are they simply evaporated? Yes, off course. That is the unique situation. And don’t blame the common people for that, don’t blame their mindset. We, the people living in the urban areas, trying to control the society as a whole are to be blamed.
None counts that the population of rural India is much higher than the people living in the urban areas. Rural Indians don’t envy whether a politician buys a new model of BMW or not. They simply don’t bother, they think about the monsoon, crops, subsidies, family values etc. etc. because they do not have the narrow mindset of urban people. Those people of the rural India are the most pure and honest. They are the most conscious people of the society too, which they proved many times before, and proved it again in recent election of Bihar. They brought Nitish Kumar again., not because of corruption free governance. If that was the case, then don’t forget that those rural Bihar make Lau a national leader. Nitish won because he did some real genuine works for the villagers.
Gandhi, whether you hate him or like him, did his home works very carefully and so he mixed up with the rural India, able to make rural Indians to accept him as a people amongst them. That is where the so called leaders who are sitting in their rooms and giving lectures against corruption before media, failed to become a force against corruption. They should have face the dirt and heat of rural India, if they definitely want to fight genuinely against corruption..

Anna Hazare is fighting against the corruption in the society, but the ruling colition government at the centre seems to be reluctant, because most of the people in power like to earn money and property during their present term because they are not sure of coming in power again. The stalemate has come out on surface. Anna earnestly want to make 'right to reject' as option in the election process in order to bring corruption-free administration. Bangladesh has shown the way and India should take lesson from it.
