Oops! Why do we insist that Judges should declare their asset?

The Judiciary has always carried an aura of purity and integrity. But now people know that it is no way different from the other pillars of the democracy. The wealth amassed by some of the judges is no longer a secret. Though only a few have made it to the headlines. Nothing surprising! Why should we expect the judiciary to be different or independent from the popular culture? It does represent the ruling culture of the day and the system. No wonder, why judges are soooooooooooo hesitant to declare their assets in public. Some of them have more than half of a village in their possession. More skeletons are waiting for their turn to tumble out of the cupboards. One can have a good laugh, if one’s sense of humour is still intact.
