But, instead of addressing the structural causes of rising corruption, India’s anti-graft movement bemoans a supposed weakening of ethical values and demands additional agencies with draconian powers to monitor and punish. The urban middle classes, impatient with the slow processes of democracy, latch on to holy men and their magic potions.
但印度的反腐败运动没有针对腐败蔓延的结构性因素，相反却哀叹世风日下，要求额外加设依靠严刑峻法实行监管和惩罚的政府机构。对民主进展缓慢感到不满的城市中产阶级转而信奉圣人和他们的魔法圣物。就像美国一样，公众的愤怒不知怎样被从行贿的富人身上转向了腐败的政客。
