Talk by Justice Santosh Hedge on 'Corruption Free India'

A prevalent notion about IISc is that it is a home to the best researchers and scentists in India and the world. But something is missing in this statement-it is also a home to renowned orators, inspiring speakers and great thinkers form the whole of the world.
This fact showed up clearly when the former judge of the Supreme Court of India and former Lokayukta of Karnataka, Justice Hedge gave a talk in the Satish Dhawan Auditorium, IISc on 'Corruption Free India' to a enraptured audience comprising of faculty, students and the honourable director and associate director of the institute.
 The notion of omnipresent corruption, especially in our country, in itself is a grave issue and Justice Hedge , through his fluent oratory elaborated on the plight of the nation due to the negligence of the public and the domination by a select group of people who claim to be the 'rulers' of our country.
Being one of the foremost 'Lokpal' activists in the country he also described the role of 'Lokpal' in keeping a tab on the vice of corruption. Justice Hedge, throughout the lecture kept the audience mesmerised through his delightful anecdotes and witty replies as he faced questions from the audience in the end.
Indeed the lecture was a real eye opener and gave momentum to the awareness against corruption in the minds of the audience.
