Legacy of corruption

  At the time INDIA is waiting for a apt time to announce its arrival as a super power, at the time CONGRESS is announced as one of the richest political party in the world, at the same time India is announced as a place where this great nation has more poor and pitiable people than in AFRICA. What a shame when our country's GDP is approaching 9% . At the same time rollicking corruption charges were made against CWG committee which is supposed to be a flagship event for INDIA to showcase her power. No wonder in our country no high grade corrupt babus are punished. The legacy of corruption is the only one major phenomena where it cut it across all party lines from Congress to RJD, DMK to BSP. From  J&K to TN integrity is seen only is bribery and corruption.

Corruption in India is a consequence of the nexus between Bureaucracy, politics and criminals. India is now no longer considered a soft state. It has now become a consideration state where everything can be had for a consideration. Today, the number of ministers with an honest image can be counted on fingers. At one time, bribe was paid for getting wrong things done but now bribe is paid for getting right things done at right time. Our democracy is itself based on corruption and nepotism. This is not the democracy we longing for!!!!!!!

  Indian administration is tainted with scandals. India is among 55 of the 106 countries where corruption is rampant, according to the Corruption Perception Index 2004 Report released by Transparency International India. Corruption in India leads to promotion not prison. It is very difficult to catch big sharks. Corruption in India has wings not wheels. As nation grows, the corrupt also grow to invent new methods of cheating the government and public.


Corruption is a global problem that all countries of the world have to confront, solutions, however, can only be home grown. We have tolerated corruption for so long. The time has now come to root it out from its roots. We need people like  P.SAINATH to take the initiative and up the ante.
