Can Corruption be
eradicated from India , forget the world.
Complex may it seem but
is just simple. It can never be.
We talk of the
Governments, politicians and the bureaucracy and the likes but have we ever
questioned that this disease emanates from the home.
When we were young, our
parents taught us to brush our teeth daily to keep it clean. Now let us be
honest, having grown up , we don’t brush it to keep clean . It has come as a
habit.
Corruption in a way has
become a habit, call it legalized corruption. I just want to jump the queue, I
tip the person is in charge. Getting late to office coz of 15 min. extra nap, I
don’t mind greasing the palm of the auto/taxi wallah so that I rush intime and
pay the extras. Fearing miss a flight , I don’t ming paying double than what is
due.
Registering a property,
concluding a deal have all become syndromes of this. To realize say I am made
to wait in the metros for a week its going to cost the Company say 1.5 lakhs.
Intelligent and prudent as we are we call the person and fix him for a sum of
50,000 in case if it is done the same day. I save 1 lakh for the co and rush
back to be near the nears and dears at the shortest possible time.
This rot has now been
perfected by the powers to be, who with
their articulation, expertise have perfected a new Education F.O.C, an
acknowledged Fellow of Corruption.
Can this trend be
reversed. Not in my lifetime. The numbers of Anna Hazare,Kejriwals,Bhushans,
Kiran Bedis etc. can just be a flickering light and in an absolute minority.
We starting from home ,made
a mountain out of mole hill. Can we turn the clock back. Utopian Dreams, the
corrupt are way ahead in talent in comparison to those who are well educated,
have ethics and above all a belonging to the country.
Forever we would be
corrupt coz revolutions or uprising are no more worth the interest.
Hail my country, let us
live with daily scams, spams, rich becoming richer and the poor becoming poor.
We still vote in the
largest democracy but the fate is attached with it.
