For politicians to be honest, the public needs to allow them to be honest, and the media, which mediates between the politicians and the public, needs to allow those politicians to be honest. If local democracy is to flourish, it is about the active and informed engagement of every citizen.

Indians mock their corrupt politicians relentlessly, but they regard their honest politicians with silent suspicion.
