CORRUPTION IN INDIA
CORRUPTION in India is so rampent that is breaking the backbone of Indian economy. Every citizen is a victim of corruption. Fighting corruption in a society is like fighting a monster. Join hands to fight this evil in the interest of this globe.
By Z.B. Rupestrian
The Genesis:
Material desires, in order to satiate body, mind and social needs; drive unscrupulous Government employees to amass illegal wealth. This is an out come of low morals. The desire to prevail up on or dominate fellow human beings in order to show supremacy, forces human beings to commit immoral acts such as corruption. There exist a coterie of individuals desiring supremacy over fellow humans by hook or crook in Indian politics. Such politicians in power exert pressure on Government bureaucracy and other Government Officials to commit irregularities in order to generate illegal money that is required to remain in power or politics. I do not see any difference between a criminal committing heinous crime of rape and a government official indulged in corruption. Some such immoral politicians who want to remain in power search for remunerative departments in governments in terms of corruption. Such politicians want to become ministers of such remunerative departments. The politicians need a lot of money to fight elections in India. Many a politician are not fully supported financially by their political parties. A politician in India is required to spend from his pocket between an estimated US $ 100,000 to US $ 200,000 ( US $ is used for the convenience of global community) in a provincial state election (Member of Legislative Assembly) and between US $200,000 to US $300,000 in Union or national election (Member of Parliament). A political party head requires several million US dollars to keep his political folk together.
Mechanism of Corruption in India:
Part-I
Secretary (a Bureaucrat) to a Government Department is the senior most government officer next to minister/s in India. The illegal instruction to generate illegal money begins from the politician whether it is in terms of political party fund or a charity fund or a simple suction of money. The battalion of government officials below the minister do not limit their actions to pool the illegal money to the minister’s requirement alone but they include their individual requirements to fix the targeted illegal money to be raised. Thus if the demand to generate US $ 1 million surfaces at politician level, at ground level this figure swells to ten times. It does not mean all the officials down the lane are corrupt. Exceptions are always of course there though the percentage is negligible. Once an immoral government official finds that his superior is pressing for unreasonable and illegal official favours at work place, he tries to find means to make his ends good.
