The year 2010 was the most shocking year for the Indian community across the world due to outbreak of scams. Scams involving very high profile politicians, corporate and bureaucrats, they were questioned by various investigating agencies followed by high profile arrest in the first time in the history of country.
With the outburst of these scams, all sections of the society started discussion on corruption, its root cause, the solutions and the people responsible for it etc. TRP based news channels held useless long debates with experts in the various fields to pocket the big fat advertisement revenue. So much discussion had happened on the topic of corruption since then that, I bet every citizen of our country has the solution to it.
Most of the India population holds the opinion that the politicians, bureaucrats and the corporate people are the real culprits behind all this but if we take a microscopic look at the society we come to know that we the common people of this country are more responsible for this than anybody else…..
If we observe our daily life we get answer very easily for the same.
Only 45 % of people vote in our country in spite of holiday declared by the GOI on the day of election, if election comes on Friday we planned long weekend trips)
Nobody can question the elected members because of the two; either they have not voted or taken money for voting.
No body wants to wait in the queue either at the RTO office or at the temple (pay more and get privilege of special darshan)
Nobody wants to pay the tax…..nobody ask for bills (In some cases even for the transactions).
The first thing CA tells you is that he will help you to pay minimum tax by exploiting loopholes or even by doing wrong things
Farmers are happy with one time loan wavier than permanent irrigation infrastructure
(60,000 Crore on loan wavier……could have strategically used to irrigate the millions of hectors of land providing permanent solution for all the problems to farmers)
The most threatening thing is the moral of our country has touched the rock bottom level, earlier in school day teachers and parents used to impart on young generation that “truth never gets defeated but it comes out in light sooner or later, one needs to have give time and be patience. Here lies the biggest contradiction, as in today’s competitive world nobody have time and patience and that why truth is defeated not once but always. Everyone in today’s world is in hurry nobody has time and patience that’s why nobody cares about the truth and that’s why we have new saying nowadays “Sach bolne se kuch fyada nahi hota”
To end just small story: once a person asked Swami Vivekananda, What is Poison? Swami answered him saying “Everything in excess is poison”…………today people are running after more and more and more and in this conquest of getting more n more people are forgetting the difference between the rational and irrational means of achieving things and that’s why I think everyone of us responsible for the situation of our country today……………
