india against corruption

considering that many people of india want corruption completely cleansed by means of waiting for the next election in 2014 and finding good people who will be supposedly immune to corruption to lead the country, would the people of india be better off trying to convince existing officials to be less corrupt, or just simply locking up officials who have been conducting such activities?

i admit this is a leading question, but this is my view on the matter.

please also note that there is a "do or die" anti-corruption movement as seen here: http://www.indiaagainstcorruption.org/

    Jul 29 2012: The solution is not so easy. May be you guys dont have a clear idea at what scale this corruption has spread. The main problem I think is that it has now deep rooted in the minds of people. Most of the middle class are forced to give bribes because one cannot expect even a trivial signature on a document if the concerned officer is not given some vitamin M ! To completely eradicate it is a herculean task. The efforts must be taken from the grass-root level and then going up the ladder. It will be a arduous journey, but one worth the squeeze !
    Also it is quite good to see you guys worry for our country ! May you be the inspiration for all of us !
