Corruption Comes Of Age

A handful of politicians ,mixed with crores of money,fried in a pan of power and lust and what you have with you is the perfect recipe for a scam.Corruption has seeped into each and every field and industry.Be it infrastructure,politics,education or media.It is creating a black hole in the nation's economy and believe it or not all of us are participating in it.We are participating because we either promote corruption or do nothing about it.

We promote corruption when we bribe the traffic policemen after having jumped the signal.We promote corruption when we pass a 100 note to acquire a driving license amidst the long queue at RTC. And we do nothing to stop it.All we do is surf through the day's paper and complain about how corrupt the society has become.So what can be done?

First and foremost,every citizen should be law-abiding.Secondly,laws are not meant to be made but to be implemented.Both the government and the society has to play a serious role in following the rules and regulations.Thirdly,every person having voting rights should not be blinded by person or party.Voting the right personnel into power is extremely important.Apart from that,youth should be encouraged to join politics.Families should not resort to 'I,Me,Myself' attitude.If it is our society we take pride in,we should be willing to accept the flaws and correct it.More importantly,it is not 'someone else's job' to clean up our society.It is me.It is you.It is Now.

Spread education like never before.We are almost on the verge of being the most populated country of the world,its high time we understand how to utilise it.Generate highly potent human resources!And the tadka of technology to it..wow..that would be ssssmmmmoookking!!However,solutions are not meant to be offered but to be put in practise.Economists and scholars of various fields discuss,analyse and offer solutions but nobody takes charge.Thus,we have reached a situation where we know corruption exists(duh!),we know how to tackle it(oh finally!) but there is nobody(including me) willing to take charge.Its all about the first step..and all of us are just waiting..
