40% of BJP members of parliment have criminal records/charges against them. Including murder and rape. I'm Indian but I've lost faith in Indian politicians years ago. Only way I see a reform coming about is if more of the youth view politics as a viable/worthy career path. Right now, the lunatic amount of emphasis on Engineering/Science paths to highschool kids is draining all talent.

What does this even mean? Politicians with criminal cases against them(not convicted) in India is as old as 1947. It's very easy to charge someone and shift the burden to the charged person that they prove themselves innocent.
That doesn't mean there aren't bad people, it just takes a lot of time before this changes. Singling out a single party on a forum where little people have cultural context just shows the bias.

What I mean to say is this crime in politics will continue to exist unless there is more diversity in education paths in India. As a highschooler in your average tier 2 Indian city, The only options (simply based on educational quality, socio-economic pressure, and job opportunities) were a) engineering b) medicine c) law/accounting. I barely knew anyone from my high school that wanted to pursue public office (even later in life, if not immediately).

That's a load of BS. If you managed to open the source I linked it clearly states 39% of Congress leaders have cases against them too. In the second line. I mentioned BJP because of the parent comment I was responding to. Your attempt at framing my comment as some sort of partisan propaganda is mindboggling.
I don’t know anything about Indian politics. This feels like a deflection but I’d like to hear more.
You say many haven’t been convicted formally. Reading between the lines, how many of those cases are likely to have been guilty of the crime, regardless of the workings of the court?
Just guessing here, but probably something like some front-end UI components for their internet banking system. Which then probably got simplified to "someone has posted the source code to our internet banking system on the Internet"
