Corruption and the modern-India

“When the moral values of a society fall to the bottom, it derives conflicts for self-destruction.”

The eruption of distorted wills and deterioration of the religion, propels the rise of corruption of all sorts. Being confined to the present scenario, one would find oneself amazed when they trace millions vouching for eradication of this evil and in such a system with the same people, find ample amount of corrupt practices! There can be many reasons cited for such a phenomenon, the broadest one may be as the beginning dictum of this write-out suggests. The current perspective is about two major aspects. The first should take into account the disabled pedagogic framework of our society and the second is the systemic failure of governance.

The British system, which follows a fine documentary way of functioning, completely lacks transparency and provides with numerous loop-holes that are never extensively tried to be mended either willingly or the other way round. The man-power which is incorporated to perform the functioning of such a system, seems to be basically crippled with their pragmatic skills and is viciously induced by their traditional corrupt predecessors and seniors. The compounding factor of deficient law and the judicial machinery itself only adds insult to injury. Rising of the new and extensive electronic media is a favouring factor but looks highly suspicious more often than it would a few years before. The cause of election of corrupt leaders has a direct correlation with the electoral skeleton of this democracy. I am known to some efforts made for electoral reforms in the nation but by and large nothing concrete could ever be performed practically, specially with the huge sum of money and resources involved in the election related activities.

The corruption in the defense-forces is of even more concern but seems to be relieving for its rather direct attachment with the patriotic tone, even though I regret my scarce knowledge of facts pertaining to this issue.

Altogether, the mass-movements erect by several main-stream political parties as well as the other individuals, the wave of anti-corruption sentiment appears to be soaring high but palpably getting misdirected and whimsical. People must strengthen their conscious against the devil of corruption and think more for the lesser fortunate portion of this vibrant society.

Republic day-Indian flag turned down!!

When the national flag hoisting becomes an issue of debate, made to put the veil on of controversy, on the name of law and order, nationalism is thrown to ruins and the democratically government chooses to bow down against separatists' dictate, the depth of misery becomes unfathomable. Adding contrast to the stain, the central government defending a tainted CVC, denying disclosure of the names of the robbers who cheated and robed our country!

There has always been an argument that the system in inherently corrupt and people's will must be revolutionalised in order to bring about a positive change. Here the fact is, the people whom we send to democratic institutions are not at all a separate breed. They are all among ourselves. Thus I am a strong believer of the view that the prime authority should be brilliantly capable of flexing the system in right direction, that's the reason why it is called as a “Leader”, who leads from the front, not at all to be lead indirectly by some foreigner who chose to suddenly pop up in the nation, may be seeking her son a dignified job and a gratified career! And it is even more shameful that such a party is brought to power by this county's citizens, not once but twice! Now they themselves are paying its price, be it in the form of onions, petrol, pulses or hiked travel fares and taxes or even bear the grudge of mammoth corruption on the name of an honest economist who embarrasses even a desert rock in being inactive. Mere flattery must never be a ground for any significant post, the democracy has this inherent weakness of choosing lame leaders, genuine, principally sound, truthful persons lack popularity.

Coming to the major issue, which led me writing this article. BJP's national flag hoisting “Integrity” campaign for our nation, is blatantly termed as a political stunt by pseudo secular power brokers. The issue of concern is recent violence and unrest in the Kashmir region. According to the state chief minister, it will be a provoking act and is being carried out with malicious intentions. Now one must ask them, even with any sort of intention, if someone wants to hoist our beloved National flag, at a public place, on a nationally significant day, within our country, why the state government can't provide adequate security and at the first place, why this kind of condition allowed to be developed, to the extent that it became difficult to hoist our own flag, on our very motherland?

If anti-national elements threaten to be violent, why can't we kill our enemies? If a political party can call for massacre of people from a particular community, when it's First Family member is murdered by a person belonging to that community then why can't we put to end the voices that are of hatred and anti-national? What sort of tranquility chief minister talks about? If peace at the cost of nation's pride is acceptable then were millions of those human beings who died for the sake of their nations were simpletons? Our Tricolor is made turned down even before it's hoisted on its own land! The country will have to decide its own future, with this lame western education system, to what extent our fellow Indians can do it, it's in the womb of time.
