Seriously, can't you guys fight against the Corruption everywhere and see that poverty is mitigated and cities are kept less crowded and clean

Indians consider water to purify many things and cleanliness is part of an Indians psyche
You allow Corruption to fester and make life unbearable for poor people and force them to migrate by the Dunki route and the poorest people become the face of India when just fifteen years ago, it was all about the migrants in silicon valley
