India, a highly corrupt nation? Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate. We, the people of India must be sorry to note that India has been declared as highly corrupt nation in the world by The Transparency International and it has been said that high officers in the bureaucracy and the politicians holding position are corrupt. We have already proof of such indulgence when we have noted that big amounts are lying in secret bank accounts in Swiss Banks and none is daring to disclose the names of those who had been depositing these amounts from illegal collections because once names of all are disclosed, we shall have to rewrite our history. Most of the people who had been known as true sons and daughters of India and had been decorated with awards shall be in the line of these corrupt people and then we shall have to withdraw some of the prizes and awards which had been given to them for their meritorial services. One of our PMs had said that when we say that 100 paise had been spent on a development work, we must accept that only 29 paise had been spent and the remining 71 had been bungled out by the politicians and the executors. This assessment is not wrong and when this calculation is coming from the mouth of the PM, then we must feel sorry that this is the ‘ Ram Rajaya’ which had been promised by Mahatma Gandhi. It is an old saying that people get the government they deserve and if the people who are elected by us and are governing us are corrupt, it means, whole fault lies on our shoulders and it shall be for us to decide to elect right people to run the administration. We must be sorry to note that people who had been declared corrupt and against whom there are so many cases in Courts, even they are winning in elections and they are getting another chance to rule and avoid or delay further investigations and final trials. Here the fault lies on the part of the people who elect. We have wasted six decades on these election exercises, but still we are not in a position to choose right type of people. The political parties in India are like co-operative societies and some people join together and form a political party and then divide the offices amongst themselves and they start selling seats and even party tickets in elections are sold and the higher bidders come in power. The people who are in politics have taken up this line considering this line as a profession, trade, calling and employment and they do not come in this line to serve the people as public servants, but they join this line to earn money and they had been successful in their targets. There is none here who can stop this corruption in India and therefore, the people of India have accepted this state of affairs and they too are giving bribes to get favours and even government jobs and stations are auctioned and the highest bidder is getting the station of his liking. There is none who shall bring back all the moneys in Swiss banks and confiscate the same for government exchequer and there is none who shall stop corruption in the administration and therefore, the people have learned to live in this corrupt society with corrupt living methods. 101-C Vikas Colony, Patiala Punjab-India-147003
