The victory of Anna Hazare is really appreciable.But while thinking a little,
it is doubtful whether the politicians or Govt. officers alone are responsible for corruption in the society.What is our role as citizens in nourishing corruption?
At one stage or the other,all of us are encouraging corruption for getting un due favour from specific Quarters.We may not consider it as corruption-but small or big it is corruption!!.For example,while travelling in train we used to bribe the TT to get a Berth-by denying opportunity to the man in the waiting list.In govt.Offices we pay bribe to the clerk for quick movement of our files -by passing those in the seniority list.Even for a movie or cricket match we purchase ticket from black market-duly denying opportunity for those who are in the que.In fact many are even trying to bribe the God by paying extra money in the Hundi!In my experience,I have seen priests in temple ,who are discriminating devotees,based the amount they give as "Dakshina".Is it correct to give special Darsan to those who are rich enough to pay more?Similarly,howmany of us are showing the actual value of property-to avoid stamp duty while executing sale deed?
Hence we are all responsible for the present system of corruption.Politicians or Govt. officers are our reflection only.When resources are less and many are running behind limited items,corruption with various degrees will be present in the society.This can be curbed only by overall development of the nation.The first priority in the society should be to eliminate the following:-
1)Earning by harming/perishing others-which will not be forgiven in any religion.
2)Try to discourage bribing in any offices/places.This change should come from ourselves.
