“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.
