There is a whiff of revolution in the air and the fight against corruption the primary agenda. Any person worth his mettle is at the forefront of leading a protest against corruption and trying to wriggle in amendments that would result in a more transparent functioning of the political machinery. This process of the modern civil disobedience was set into motion by Anna Hazare and was sensationalized by Baba Ramdev.<\/p>\n<p>These protests against corruption did stir the hornet\u2019s nest and has resulted in the Government trying to save face either by cajoling the protestors to give up their stand, by using force (the infamous midnight lathi charge) or by mudslinging against those spearheading the protest. There appears to be a predefined protocol for initiating the mudslinging process. It all starts with the cajoling process (read six Congressmen pick Baba Ramdev from airport), failure to persuade leads to the disruption process and finally the mudslinging allegation process with character assassination being the primary motive.<\/p>\n<p>What really puzzles me most is why does a person\u2019s financial and\/or background verification come into play only when the person is perceived as a threat to the Government? Does it imply that the Government would turn a blind eye towards a person&#8217;s disproportionate income if he is an asset to them?<\/p>\n<p>History says yes. This kind of negligent attitude can be often found in the workplace too. How many times have we hired a person without a background check only to doubt his credentials when he underperforms?<\/p>\n<p>The point I am trying to make is that background verifications should be made an integral part of the hiring process. Be it hiring a leader to lead the country or an employee to work in an organization. Detailed background verification can provide the required information to make a informed decision. It also develops a sense of trust towards the leader that you follow or the employee that you hire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The common man is finally stretching his arms and legs.
