Just like we do for every other major news on paper, we keep reading about corruption and its best buddies- politicians,corporates etc and then we discuss a bit , maybe criticize on Twitter or Facebook.This is followed by some news , some articles and finally we have lots of GD topics to discuss :P
Who would have thought a hunger strike to promote an anti-corruption bill would workout in this reaallllyyy busy country? (Btw busy doing what?:P may be for most people - facebooking,including me ;))
And then one man stood up in a 1.2 billion populated country-Anna Hazare. He must have noticed all the dirt of corruption accumulating in the country's back yard and decided to start cleaning !
Everyday goes by, we meet people and make friends, we create an extended family! But who would have thought of extending ones family to include the country's whole population? One man did and he decided to stop people from stealing within this family.
Somebody asked me yesterday - "What's wrong with corruption?". I asked,"What's wrong with you?"
The counter argument to corruption can never be solid: They say 'Selfishness is a mortal virtue'.
I would like to ask "Why would you want to be just 'mortal' ? Immortality is every soul's desire "
Corruption can never be justified.It is pure evil.And it is rather pointless when it grows to huge proportions.A corrupt person has to be in constant fear of revelation and this fear is similar to the fear of an escaped convict- one has to keep looking over ones shoulders.
When the worlds largest democracy is hit with an epidemic of corruption, all we can do is criticize,inquire and proceed- this is what I thought till yesterday. And then rose a humble man and many have started following his trial!! If an effective anti-corruption act with stringent consequences to be faced by the offenders is passed,may we would start cleaning up a bit! If not a vacuum-cleaner, at least a broom would do a neat enough job to start with :P .
I hope that our nation rises to support this cause and makes the government act with appropriate seriousness!
