In our “Shining India” corruption is like religion-a way of life.Like the quality of Mercy, it’s twice blessed-by the one who gives and the one who receives. Just glancing at the ‘headlines’ or ‘Breaking News’ is enough to comprehend how corruption has spread like the Swine flu virus- 2G scam, Commonwealth Games scam, Adarsh housing Society scam, Marksheet scam, IPL scam, tax evasion, Dope scam, Unaccounted wealth in ashrams and temples, Black money in Swiss banks, the list goes on. Forget a full stop, there isn’t a pause even.
To put an end to this circus, what do we have? Anti Corruption Bureau, Right To Information and the like. Even if the corrupt are brought to book, our judiciary is slower than a snail and it takes generations before justice if at all, is meted out. Still there’s no guarantee the verdict will be just-the judges too come with a price tag, don’t you know? Sorry state of affairs, but what can you expect in a country where the erstwhile Chief Vigilance Commissioner himself was a bureaucrat accused of corruption? Who will police the police?
With political will, corruption may be controlled but eliminated? Come on, don’t be so naive.
