Before I begin writing anything, I would like to make sure that I am not against the current agitation brought in to lime light in India by a great personality followed by great dignitaries, but I am against the route it has been taken.
Now a day, every person is coming out with a concept of hunger strike and diluting the value, importance and true meaning of it, which was initiated during the pre and post independence days of India. I have couple of things to bring forward to the people of Indian origin. Are we (as normal human beings) choosing the “correct option” of getting the work done or “corrupting” the people who has an authority of doing the things for us? Which is the right option? By finding an answer you solved half of countries problem.
We are all tuned to a particular system where we want the things to be done in a quicker manner with least patience of waiting for the things to take its normal time, and during this process; we never think about what are we doing? There by we feel that we are showing some mercy on the clerk/officer who would be doing our work and pay them some tips. Is it not the root cause of today’s problem? Is it not you and me who would like to pay some money to the political leaders to get our things done? When it comes to an individual, one treats it as a consultation fee. When a below average person cannot afford to pay that so called consultation fee, he calls it as bribery. The seed of today’s corruption been laid by us and now we want to cut the top of the tree (politicians and political system) without cutting the roots which is at the lower lever right from an attendant to the higher authorities. Just think of the Newton’s law of motion and relate it to this scenario. When there is a person to give money (bribe) always there is another person to accept it. Give and takes “go hand in hand”. So when there is no giver, then there is no taker. Taker is not corrupted; giver is the most corrupted who thinks that he/she choosing the correct option.
It surprises me when people who says that I support the current agitation started by Mr. Anna Hazare by just clicking “I like” button on face book or any other social media. Will this really help? In fact, it worries me more when some group of people coming forward with some “xyz” name and collecting the funds in support of the agitation which is a biggest corruption. Another thing surprises me when people talk big about this agitation who are most corrupted by themselves. There are some Indian media networking groups doing a business in abroad with corrupted minds and acts holding some rallies and “meets” and collecting the funds to support the agitation. Beware of such organizations and curb them which should be first act of going in a positive direction of eradicating the corruption. No one needs money to support the agitation but our own action in person.
So, start a new dimension of eradicating the corruption by choosing not to pay any “Bribery” and fight against the person who is paying such bribery or so called consultation fee. First it should start from you and only you and then spread to the whole society and country. We are living in the society where poor is becoming poorer and rich is becoming richer. Bring a new light of sharing things with poor people and volunteer in helping them to grow in whatever possible way you can. Let us bring a Gandhi, Mother Theresa in our own life and be helpful to the society in doing good things.
