Corrupt Politicians: Quit India

Graffiti photographed on Mumbai streets. It’s temporary, drawn only in chalk, but the message is clear. As far as I know, even when it’s erased it always makes a comeback.

It says: “World corruption champion 2008 Politicians US$ 1456 Billion in Swiss Bank Secret Account.” Here’s another voltage box with similar stuff written on it:

“Corrupt Politicians Quit India” – I saw this slogan all over this street and the surrounding areas.

Once I started noticing the hand written slogans, I saw them everywhere :P

  1. Amen

  2. Thanks for posting these photographs. Political reform is badly needed in India.

  3. Well, I don’t know how you managed to spot these, the writing is so tiny! You have an eye!!

  4. @Hari: I totally agree. I thought it was interesting that some people had chosen to vent in this particular way.
    @Nita: Actually a friend told me about these signs, and I went there to photograph it! :)

  5. I remember that day :)

    BTW, there is some interesting graffiti on the Wall adjoining Mahim station. It’s vibrant and colorful! I remembered you then and your quest for graffiti… :)

  6. I know, I heard about that! I can’t wait to get back to Mumbai so I can document that wall properly :D
