Even though it is important to know how to use cooperation to the people's benefit; methinks that learning how to break any cooperation is also important. More than to help, people now cooperate with each other to fill their coffers and to cause damage to the society. Vote-bank politics, terrorism, non-compliance to work ethics by govt. officials, environmental degradation and race-class-caste-colour-discrimination are all the result of group effort (in a negative shade). I think it would also be important to learn how to break such cooperative behavior so that the real essence of collective cooperation could be harnessed.

good thought!
Is breaking a collective group of corrupt politicians as difficult as forming a collective group of honest individuals???
@ Anshuman
Because of the word limit, I couldn't explain my idea fully.
The problem is not only of the politicians. They are just the manifestation of the values of the people who select them. They are not aliens. They have come from the same place as "their voters" have.
Lets look at one problem.
The villagers who are working in NREGA do not get paid what they actually have worked for and the money that they rightfully can demand (atleast this was the case in my village). What is the reason?
One person cannot do all this. The chain could very well be traced to the respected people who sit in the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha and take decisions on our fate.
But seen at a very micro level, the Patwari himself is a part of that chain. So my idea was how to get him motivated to break that chain and do what is right. I may end up sounding too idealistic infatuated with the idea of "RIGHTEOUSNESS", but isnt that something those villagers rightfully deserve.
Now we can extrapolate this all the misgivings that arose from all the service providers(to us).
The ration dealer hoarding huge stock of rations and still creating a demand-supply mismatch and taking people for a ride.
The bribe that the corrupt officials take to do the job they had been selected to do and are being paid for the same.
The viruses that are released by hackers to kill our computer systems.
I can go on and on and the list wont ever end.
Point is the injustices that are meted out to us need to be studied objectively and chinks should be found to break these.
I rest my case.
@ Anshuman
The answer to your question, honestly, is I dont know. Maybe yes, maybe not. But I think it is also important to know how to form the Chakra Vyuha but also how to break it.
But I think, i maybe wrong, that breaking a cooperation among people of any sort is easier than forming one.
I'd like to be corrected if I'm wrong.
I agree with the Hari's view.I am going to write next blog on this topic.
