On Corruption

Whoo!! Everybody is talking of corruption these days as if it exists somewhere on the chouraha in the form of a monument or is found in the sink of your kitchen. Of course I support Anna Hazare but is that only enough? Supporting a cause is fine but only if you think two feet below you would know implementation of a law can curb the surface corruption of people's activity but it wont cut the roots in their mind. Their desires will not end. People are diseased whatever the reason be : poverty, greed, lust and so on and so forth. From a bhikari to rikshawalah to govt officer and big corporate tycoons everyone is corrupted. 

Corruption is nothing but the absence of Honesty. Yesterday a Rickshawalah took 30bucks hardly for crossing the lane. It just shook me deeply somewhere. What an irony. People are fighting with Govt for abolition of corruption and what the men themselves practice for their benefits. No , corruption is not somewhere inherent in the Kursi or A.C its in the mind , mind of people , irrespective of their country , caste , class and gender. 


 And its not only about the corruption for monetary benefits , the worms of corruption has eaten away the moral values of people in every part of daily life. So lets just pray and hope unto death that the sky will be more clear one day that the hearts of people will be more innocent and childlike.

  1. Anna Hazare is protesting, and we, the people of Bangladesh are aware of what is happening there. we all want that corruption should be eradicated from the world. but the truth is that people always like to abuse power. and that's why the general people are the worst sufferers. World need people like Anna Hazare. (However, The incident of the rickshawala is not called corruption. Corruption is giving benefits to those that do not deserve that)

  2. I am glad to hear someone from Bangladesh. Yes world needs people like Anna ji. We are so fortunate to be born in this Era and in this country.
    However , to me Richksawala is corrupt because he is not honest in his livelihood. Everyone who earns unethically is a corrupt person. What govt officers do? They earn the money which they have no right on.
