Social Awareness

Currently corruption is one of the most heated topic for discussion. I appreciate Anna and his team to make this topic so prevalent. Everybody is blaming the government and cursing the system.But cursing the system is not the solution of the problem.Corruption is the main cause which is prohibiting our country to enter in the queue of developed nations.We have to analyze the root cause of corruption so that we can prepare in a more efficient way to fight against it.

First of all stop blaming others for it. We all responsible for the corruption. It might be possible you are not in favor of me for it. But my dear friend, Please answer my question; "If you were the political leader, will you not accept the bribe ? Will you not favor your relatives, friends for particular job/task. Or can you please name a person from your surrounding whom you think is the best ideal political leader binding by all the rules" If you have given affirmative answers than I must say you are quite emotional; Not very practical. Because this is the trend of Indians now. Whoever is in power, he exploits the system, turns the laws in favor of himself.

Again question, From where the corruption enters in our system ? I think, the main problem lies in our electoral system. Political parties and leaders spends thousands of crores in the elections. Now there prime motive is not the philanthropy, but to recover their money spent in election in multiplication. Also it implies a poor citizen who possess very strong leadership qualities, is not eligible for election. Because Indian political territories are quite broad and to have a impact over the whole territory, a person need to take the help of mass communication like media, newspaper etc. which proves so costly that a middle class can not afford it.

The second problem again as I write in my all blogs, is our education system. Today's educated person does not evaluate his decision on the basis of reasoning. He is easily influential on the basis of area, religion and other narrow mentality. He never gives his vote to an eligible candidate; rather than his voting decision is very much affected by caste, religion, area, relationship etc. If our educated person is behaving like this way; than what kind of society we are going to build for next generations. Today's educated persons are so self centered that they have forgotten "They exist because the country exist, nor the country exist because they exist." Definitely our education system very much focuses on making Doctors, Engineers or Lawyers rather than making a good social person.
