Corruption
An Impediment to Our Development
Corruption
can be defined as an act of dishonesty or the use of a position of power or trust for dishonest gains. Corruption is a
widespread phenomenon in the country. India figure as the seventh most
corruption country in the world according to Transparency International, a
German non governmental organization. Misuse of public property or public money
, Misuse of public properly or public money, fraudulently acquiring assets and
resources , abusing ones duty or avoiding payment of taxes are few form of corruption
commonly seen and heard of in the society.
Initially
regarded as an incumbent product of public offices, corruption now breeds in
every strata of the society. From government departments and offices to
corruption dwells every where. From the traditional bribery and nepotism,
corruption comes in other forms like donations in education institution li,
hoarding and black marketing by traders.
The famous
satyamScam of manipulated and falsified accounts is a blatant example of corporate corruption . Thus,
corruption is not confined to a particular sector but pervades the entire
society. Corruption in India leads to promotion not prison, it has wings not
wheels. As the nation grows , the corrupt also grow to invent new methods of
cheating the government and public.
Indian
administration tainted with scandals. Years of public silence and tolerance
only emboldened the perpetrators and gave riser to the malicious practice. The
last few years of public silence and tolerance only emboldened the perpetrators
and gave rise to the malicious practice. The last few years have seen the
unveiling of some of the greatest scams and scandals like the 2 G scam, Befors
scam, faulty DLF land deal, etc. The endless list of cadses involving several
millions of rupees put the entire nation to shame.
Corruption
in India has become an endemic of epic scale Its causes are many and comples.
Emergence of political elite with no obligation of public accountability is one
of the gratest reasons that allow thes malpractice to flourish. Complex laws
and procedurs too, deter the big sharks from being caught, Vast size of
population, widespread illiteracy and povery and the complete lack of public
outery against any wrong doing, futher complicate the process of developing an
honest and transparent society.
It is the
moral obligation of every Indian including those in power to make efforts to
weed out this camcer of corruption from the nation.
At this
stage, what we need are simple and transparent laws, a quick and honest
investigation process and an equally quick judicial process. Electoral reforms
like denying person with criminal records a chance to contest the election ,
making political parties get their accounts audited regularly, etc, should be
brought in.
However,
some welcome steps have come in recently like the Right to Information Act and
the Granting of extra powers to the CBI , Enforcement Directorate and Vigilance
Department to tackle this menace.
The role of
media in highlighting corruption needs to be praised, but still, a lot more
needs to be done , especially to na the officials at the higher levels and the
corporate seamstress.
Corruption
has a corrosive impact on our economy and society,it worsens our image in
international market and leads to loss of overseas opportunities . Therefore,
we must all pledge to drive out corruption from our society to ensure a better
and brighter present and future for our eloved nation.
