A corruption free India seems to be a major focus in
India this year, as its going for Lok Sabha elections. Would it be possible to have a corruption
free government or system? Corruption free
politicians, government officials etc, is it possible?
We can’t expect one part of society to be corruption
free, when its prevalent everywhere else.
Why corruption is there? Because there is greed, because there is
insecurity – and these lead to hoarding behavior. No amount of resources or wealth seems enough
due to fear of future.
If a person buys 20,000 umbrellas or 50 thousand caps
(not as a trader or for business), we will consider them crazy. But if a person accumulates 50,000 crore of
rupees, we hail them as successful, or consider such dreams as healthy or good.
We have to also clean up corruption from – various institutions,
educational, financial, production, travel, construction & religious institutions
etc. and reduce hoarding behavior encouraged
in all these places.
Why does gods require gold and cash? Why do temples, mosques, church etc. hoard
things, especially like gold & diamonds?
When will donations to such places become transparent and require
legality to donate any resource?
Gods don’t gold / money – it’s the organizers who run
these places who need it and hoard it. (It’s
funny to see in India, there is a gold shortage, but tons of gold remains
locked up in temples, which artificially keep on increasing its price).
When will a CA (chartered Accountant) refuse to illegally
evade tax for their clients? When will a
parent refuse to use their resources / power to illegally get admission to
their child?
When these things happen, corruption from politics
also will vanish.
So are we ready to clean up ourselves first?
