Whistleblower Protection Bill in India: Who pays for it Anyway?

This article showcases the extent to which the Whistleblower Protection Bill, has the potential to bring any good to “common man” in India, given the fact that the more basic goal of universalization of elementary education has not been achieved so far. An analytical approach has been adopted to build a logical sequence for evaluation of many such imported western ideologies of “one size fits all” recipe. The aim of the work is to show how, and why is there an urgency to bring the Bill and assess what it has in store on the country’s common man-(aam aadmi, colloquially). Further, the paper amplifies its case against redundancy of such law, by defining the embedded cultural problems, which have crept into the socio-political milieu; that make it increasingly difficult for a nation like India to embrace with efficacy west-legislated laws. Finally, the paper rests the case by contending, to the remedies and nuances available in India, where danger pronounced on the life and prospects of person making disclosure is completely different from what it is in the First-World nations. The paper shall enable policy makers of the nation to look beyond the shallowness of some very costly decisions and take an objective view of what is in the best interest of the nation.
