beating the heat of corruption

The entire nation is binded by one thread and that is fighting against corruption. There is a wave thats engulfing one and all. Everyone is enthused to be a part of the campaign which is turning into a big tidal wave sweeping the government off their feet.

It has been easy to bring the nation together on the issue of corruption as it has affected us all in some sort. It has been a common concern of all. The newspapers have been filled with all kinds of scams and we are all fed up to see nothing but the list of scams our dear elected representatives have done...

The question that repeatedly comes in my mind is that the ones that are part of the campaign havent they ever been a part of corruption whether it is to bribe the TC to get a berth while travelling without reservation or getting a licence for starting a business. 

I strongly feel the nature to give or take bribe campaign is subjective and needs to be dealt individually. The campaign should be against the very human nature to bribe and get a way out of difficult situation. Instead of pointing fingers only to others we need to remember that there are fingers pointing you too.
We all have encouraged corruption in some or the other way. I think the campaign should be to fight corruption within and once that is overcome than there will be no need for larger nation wide campaigns.

It is important to fight the very nature of human beings to go to extents to get the work done. Sad to say but even the 'civil society organisation' who are supposed to be the champions of the masses have not been left from the gambit of people encouraging corruption to get projects.

Let this fight be against every person who is either corrupt or promotes corruption.

Jai Hind.......
