If an average Indian thinks...No need for self pity. If an average Indian thinks he is dong huge dis -service to the country by paying a small bribe to policeman or govt. officer, (who are underpaid anyway) he is wrong. It is the collusive corruption between mafia, politicians and babus's and businessmen is looting/selling the country and its resources big time. <br />Also, we may observe the following:<br />1. The number of individuals who are part of this nexus and money involved is too huge. As they are too powerful, neither they are caught nor the money involved is seized.<br />2. A part of the large money they earn is also used to buy opinion makers in the media. These opinion makers keep reminding general public of petty bribes they give to some, whenever a large scam involving huge money is resented by public. <br />3. There is a saying in one of south Indian language. 'You are a thief irrespective of whether you steal a small piece of areca nut (supari) or you steal an elephant'. But today, those who steal supari get caught, while those who steal elephant do not. In addition elephant thieves when questioned (it is hard to hide the elephant; hence everyone knows who is thief), arrogantly shoot back have not stolen a small piece of supari?not needednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738809571056614827.post-17937970364815535202014-03-03T12:38:21.913+05:302014-03-03T12:38:21.913+05:30Corruption is present in our blood.

The point is the nonchalant behavior of ours towards corruption. Either we are corrupt ourselves or felicitate corruption whole heartedly. That is scary for sure.

“Democracy is ...George Bernard Shaw said it aptly-<br /><br />“Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve." “Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.”<br /><br />Who are political leaders? People's servants, and despite being people's servants you think of yourself as if you own the people of this country then people will have to remind the political leaders that they are public servants and not owners.<br /><br />We, Indians have a habit of deifying our heroes & leaders. Look how Gandhi and later Nehru and his family have been deified and set on impossibly high pedestals with sycophantic & hysterical worshipers. This is what allowed a non-entity like Sonia to become the Congress President and run a puppet PM's government through remote control and a kitchen cabinet like the NAC which consists of Sonia's hand picked intellectuals & social activists.<br /><br />Corruption, Cronyism & Nepotism have undermined our democracy. How many ministers or top bureaucrats or even lowly clerks have been convicted for corruption in the 6 decades that India has been an independent country? How many times have ill gotten gains and the disproportionate assets of those found guilty of corruption been confiscated? How many times have the discretionary powers of the ministers and top officials been misused? Successive governments have rarely accorded permission or sanction to prosecute guilty Ministers or government officials.<br /><br />In India, the rewards of corruption are instant and gainful while any punishment or action is hugely disproportionate and sometimes non-existent due to the protection given by those in power and inordinate judicial delays. This is the main reason why the High and Mighty have no fear of the Law. The conduct of many in high positions have repeatedly come under a cloud and many have gone scot-free and entire empires built with ill gotten wealth. Given the abysmal rate of conviction or closure of corruption cases, the impatience of the country with its politicians, bureaucrats and institutions is justified. Indians thus do not trust politicians, governments or the checks & balances within the system. We all know that the politicians and bureaucrats will never pass laws which subject them to any scrutiny or strict action.<br /><br />Political parties across the spectrum will keep tomtomming issues about Parliament & Legislature being supreme and keep discrediting anti-political & anti-corruption movements.Jai Neonoreply@blogger.com
