Corruption
CORRUPTION: The long and short of it
The recent turn of events in our country point towards a mass awakening to the scar of corruption and deeply it has trickled down into the grass roots of each and every sphere of India. People, rather the masses, are waking up and smelling the coffee and taking law in their own hands by questioning the government about each and every step taken by them in the past few years. The motto seems to be “civil disobedience”, a far cry from the peaceful protests held nationwide earlier.
The roots of corruption can not only be seen and felt in the public sector but also in the private sector, as well as in tertiary sectors also. By the use of the word “corruption” one does not simply imply the false-hood and ill manners adopted to get by easily, but it also entails the corrupted mindset of the common man. Right from an auto-rickshaw driver to the Prime Minister’s office, the mills are churning on the wheels of corruption.
What is corruption? Is it just a simple practice of taking money in the form of bribe for work that would otherwise have been done free of cost or is it the usage of law or poor quality raw material in the building of the infrastructural requisites? What all does this word incorporate?
Corruption is nothing but the mind-set that things can be done in a manner other than what is already stated for it. The corrupt mind definitely thinks off the gloomy track, but the path so taken is often full of mal-practices that harm the individual as well as the society as a whole.
The initial seeds of corruption are sown into our brains right from the moment we are made to leave the safe and sound boundaries of our houses to go into a different world that is waiting to grope upon us in every possible manner. Our parents tell us to be sharp, to think crisply, not to open-up in front of stranger for the fear of being harmed at our behest; but during that process they forget that they are injecting not only a few remedial
