Corruption is the Cause of India’s misery

It is reported by Anti-Corruption Bureau that inspite of the existing Anti-Corruption Law, corruption is rampant in government departments. In a comparative statement of registered cases in 2008, the police department is topping the list followed by Revenue department and Civic bodies. The country, infested with such corrupt officials can never dream of becoming world super-power. It is unfortunate but seems to be true that everybody in India has a price tag. No personal ethics. No national pride!

The reported numbers are only a tip of the iceberg. Everyone is afraid of the possible worst consequences of providing “specific information” about the corrupt officials with “extra-lavish” life styles. Let there be a group of citizens, who can be authorized to expose such corrupt officials, or catch them red-handed, by posing as a “common man” to get the work done in the government departments such as revenue, police, traffic, rationing, registration of housing societies, departments of electricity and water supply. It is a simple solution, but no body will do it because corruption is the way of life in India.
