The advocates of Democracy took all care to see that Indian system of Democracy works well..We have the biggest written constituion.We have the supreme parliament,independent judiciary and the workable executive.The constitution has provided the duties and responsibilities of all concerned.The constitution has also provided the punishments for those who are proved lacking in discharging their responsiblities.But what is the result.We r deep rooted in corruption.
Before independence we had very few needs and every thing was available at out door steps.The Money lenders were giving money on faith without any written documents and the interest rates were assessed by the money lenders only which were never disputed.The people were not aware of the existence of the courts of justice.In the village the village accountant was the highest official of the government.
With the dawn of independence people started thinking of better avenues- better education,better jobs,better salaries and better employment.The villagers started migrating to cities and cities became more industrialized. With the industrialization and spread of education the job opportunities increased but the spread of education could not keep pace with the spread of employment.This gave way to exploitation and unhealthy competitions .This is how the corruption started.
For any job there is a competition.For one job there will be 1000 applicants and all the applicants r more qualified than the qualification requirred.It became difficult to select one man out of 1000 men with the same qualifications and the norms set were whosoever gives more bribe will have fare chance of selection.This became true for all the government jobs including the defence forces.The money power became more important than the qualification.The people getting jobs with poor qualifications proved unfit for the job,This is responsible for the spread of Disgustment.Besides there came up quota system.seats r kept reserved for some privileged people only
There came up the criteria of Standard of living,If my neighbor has a car I must have two cars bcz i am more qualified and better placed.With the unhealthy competition of improving the standard of life ,people started of looking into the other means other than their income and the corruption increased
The corruption is deep rooted in the society.Every body wants t get rid of this .But no solution is visible.The bribe taker just thinks that he is not taking any bribe and whatever he took is part of the services he did.It only pinches the one who gives bribe.It is ironical that 100% people r against bribe and those who take bribe r amongst us only.Mr. Anna Hazare is sitting on hunger strike to tackle this menace and many people have come up to support him.He wants to pass the Lok Pal Bill .In all functions of the Government(Parliament,Executive and judiciary)there r good people and there r bad people also.But over all the system works.A police inspector may be a corrupt one his complaint can be given to his SP or IGP or DGP.The complaint may take many yrs and the action may not be taken all together.But it cannot mean that the whole police force be dismentled.Mr Anna Hazare must note that no body is above constitution and constitution has laied down some powers to judiciary and parliament which cannot be over looked.Moreover passing out any bill will not dig out the corruption in itself.The corruption lies in our mind and we should wash our minds .We should think religiously bcz the goal is not to make a bill but to root out corrution,

We Indians have two important books written by Indian saints.These books r full of wisdom.These r 1 Ramyana and 2 Mahabharata. Both these books deal with besides many other points,important wars.In ramayan,Rama with the help of his younger brother Laxmana fought with the mighty king ,Ravana.Ravana was not an ordinary person,He was not an ordinary person. He was highly educated very well versed in war fares commanding a well trained army.Comparatively Rama was very week.He had only one to help him and that was his brother Laxmana.Later Rama took help from some unconventional army.But ultimately Rama won.Why he won was bcz truth was on his side
In Mahabharata we come across King Bharat.King Bharat was great not bcz he ruled over a vast empire .But it was bcz of this that he preffered Karam(Qualification) to janam(Family back ground) and he declared the sworn prince one amongst the masses and none out of his nine sons
Next comes the great king Dhitrashtra.He wanted his son,Daryodhana to be sworn Prince setting aside the rights of his ownbrother’s son Yudhistra .And the result was a great war Mahabharata
In Mahabharata the two armies assembled together at Kurukshetra The armies were in the ratio of 7:11.Besides there were mighty warriors on the Kaurav side.Naming a few of them was unconquerable Bhisam,the invincible Daron and Kripacharaya and Mighty Karana who was well versed in war fare and a lot many more
Comparatively the Pandava army was very week. But ultimately Pandwas won bcz they were righteous people.From this we learn a few lessons from this
1 It is never the numerical strength of man power but truth carries the day.Did not we see that in Bangla Desh war 93000 strong army men with a host of arms and ammunitions headed by Gen Niaazi surrendered to the then
Lt. Gen Kudip Singh Arora
2The lord Krishna told to Arjuna,”These mighty warriors on the opposite side are already killed,but I want u to take the credit of killing them ,so u fight and kill them”.That means God himself will come to work for u if truth is with u
3In Mahabharata Lord Krishna was unarmed.That means Lord need not take up armsHe knows how to play His game.
4 Lord said ,”whenever there is loss of Dharma I will come to this world and will set the order right”
