http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1117900 Fifth Pillar India, a Chennai-based organisation that battles corruption, will release 1 lakh notes of ‘zero denomination’ in Mumbai next month. The next time a Municipal Corporation clerk demands a bribe to issue that clearance certificate, grease his palm with the new currency note!

interesting concept. Though I doubt it will help serve any real purpose. Obviously these government officials are not ashamed of being corrupt. They will continue as long as they know they aren't going to be punished and people prefer paying to harassment.
Yeah, I agree. I guess it's similar to whether or not the 'Gandhigiri' ideals promoted by the Munnabhai movie will produce any sustainable effects on the people. But all the same, probably this is a stereotype, but I feel that Indians are driven by rhetoric much more than other cultures :)
Rcently had a first hand experience with corruption at Mumbai customs. I have blogged about it here

It is very difficult to get rid of it, without a strong management at top, change of constitution to enable firing a public servant, rightsizing beaurocracy and increasing their 'normal' wages.
