WHERE WILL CORRUPTION TAKE INDIA?

The most disquieting aspect of the widespread corruption in India is the fact that it is not anymore confined to politicians or the government machinery alone. It is prevalent amongst every section of the society at every level.
As the practice of corruption is a dishonest act, one has to think that most of the Indians are dishonest, which could be differentonly in degree between individuals. As the reason for dishonest is greediess and the desire to get things done at any cost. This is not a flattering statement and many readers would desire that it would not be so and such statement could have been avoided.But the fact is that more of the Indians are involved in corrupt practices in one way or other, either due to greed or due to so called compulsion.
Today, if one would say that any particular Indian is honest to core, it could only be a case of exception rather than a rule. The study of world phenomenon on corruption has repeatedly branded India as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. But unfortunately, this has not disturbed most of the Indians at all and they seems to care as to what other think of them, so long as the existing system and practices would allow to make and get things done in one way or the other.
Today we don't want to wait and have patience, what ever work may be we want it to be done as soon as possible, as well as in a positive way and for that we Indians salute in front of corruption , and use bribe as BRAHAMASTRA. Now, what can be the future of the Indian society in such condition? It can be only frustration, chaos, unrest and even bloodshed in the not too distant future. This kind of curruption in the national polity and public and private life cannot go on for ever, without disturbing the over all peace in the society.It is sad that those who are in charge of the nation today do not appear to realise this and still are merrily going ahead with their dealigs unconcerned about the harm that it would inevitably do to the large national cause.Incidents of history indicates that some of such persons who are out of the corruption loop could take up the war against corruption at one time or other. But it is shameful that in a corruption entranched system, they would not be able to improve the condition and there for few of them may finally take to physical attack on corrupt and dis honest person, leadind to violence and bloodshed and security, dogs and mere police rifles will not beat down such determined crusaders.
