Every day, most of us have faced it & raised voice against it but lastly bow-down helplessly and became part of it.
Indeed it is matter of concern!! There is immense corruption spread across in our country however there is no sign of getting rid of it!!!!!!!!!!!
We have evergreen season of scams in the country. We have witnessed Bofors, 2 G spectrums, Adarshas, Common Wealth Games and so many small and big scams littered all over the social spectrum. What drives corrupt tendencies in our society? Well, as I see the reasons emerge from two main sources, one is the deep sense of insecurity about the future for most of the Indians, financially speaking and the other certainly is the incidences of glorification of neo-rich! We forgot Mahatma Gandhi who said that end may be important but the means to achieve the end is more important. Yes, we have forgotten that earning money is important for survival and growth but the way it is to be done has also to be in line with the acceptable social norms.
But who listens and follows these rational words instead the people are becoming followers of the slogan is, earn and earn money, whatever way you can!!!!
We have mafia’s in almost each sector -estate mafia, Education mafia, Health services mafia and what not.
We learn that the black money stashed away in foreign banks can finance India's 5 year plan, that it can feed the below poverty line Indians for 10 years ,that there would be no adverse effect even if no income tax is levied for 30 years ,that India would be able to pay off its entire debt , in one go , that India , even after paying off its debt will not need further loans for the next five years ,and the list of goodies goes on.
A large chunk of the money meant to be spent for developing backward regions are finding their ways into the unusually deep pockets of the bureaucrats and the politicians, resulting rising the naxalite menace.
If corruption graph will keep on rising like this, then it will be no wonder we will soon witness a stage being currently witnessed in some Arabian countries, notable in
Can we do something about it….?
It doesn’t require any magic stick, but as like it is done elsewhere- is to legislate stringent punishment for corruption.
Morever, it is the high time to come together in one voice to put in place an effective anti -corruption system in place. Coz, Every voice counts!!
