“It is eating up the roots of our setup & it needs to be addressed…!”
Corruption is the moral &
spiritual foulness or the devationalism from the ideal path. “Corruption”
is the word which is in limelight nowadays especially in India and of course in
the valley too. Everyone can be seen canvassing this corruption everywhere in the
group discussions with the elders at home or while when you are busy in analyzing
the current economical condition of India with your acquaintances or teachers. The word corruption will
mount explicitly in
between & it should arise because it has become the part of our system and
it is worth to be discussed. Yes doubtlessly we discept it more than as it was to be but when the
question ascends how to
tackle it? The answer comes out to be of the negativist as “we don’t know!” The
corruption and its oppugnant causatum should
be the matter of concern for the every amenable subject of that very system as it is going to vitiate everyone living in that
corruption infected society directly or indirectly. At present the societal
analysis will clearly conceive us that this disease of corruption has sneaked deep into our system, be
it the so called most pure judicial system or any other offshoot of our system,
what we see is that this menace of corruption has succeeded in making a
enduring place within our administration.
Taking an example of Corruption in India, it
is the major issue and it is severely affecting its economy. Transparency International conducted a
survey in 2005 and came out with the formidable statistics that 62% Indians had firsthand experience in paying bribes & more
interestingly Transparency International in 2011 ranked India 95th out of 178 countries in Corruption Perceptions Index.
Moreover, talking about the measures for
tackling it, we have seen many rising movements which were out for the
eradication of this menace totally, but failed. The recent example of such
movement is the Agitation Launched by the ex-army driver turned social activist
Mr. Anna Hazari. The quaesitum or we can say the objectives of this
commotion were:
·
Establishing strong
and independent Jan-Lokpal anti-corruption legislation and enforcement.
·
Asking people to vote
against the parties who don’t support the strong Jan-Lokpal bill in Indian
elections 2014
·
Repatriating and
seizing almost $350 billion to $1.4 trillion black money abroad and make it a
national income.
·
Electoral and judicial
reforms.
No doubt the objectives of this movement were
quite poignant but what was the reason that it was hijacked medially, as the
team Anna decided to join the politics and blot
out it (corruption). Let me make
it clear here that the politics is presently the most corrupt among all and in
spite of knowing this they decided to yoke with the political arena. Sometimes
back at Ramlila Maidaan Mr. Hazari said that “Ye ganda kunwa hai” but what coerced them to lunge into this grubby well? On their part they concluded to
be the part of this flagitious system and I deem that you cannot bring a micron
of mutation in the system by becoming a part of it. Such movements have never
shown any tangible sequels and got hijacked in a mid way as seen erstwhile.
Furthermore the team Anna has now succumbed after their conclusion of seaming
into the politics. One bloc is headed by Mr.
Arvind Kejriwal and another by Mr.
Anna Hazari so therefore their jurisdiction of traversing against the corruption is tapering
off day by day and it is unambiguous that by espousing such policy they
cannot bring the ratio of corruption a bit down & and with the passage of
time we will see what will be the moira of this movement called “India Against Corruption”, I would say
that they have to refashion
their policies if they are veritably out-of-doors to
undertake the issue of corruption, otherwise this moment will also evanesce
what we call in a thin air, leaving no trace subsequently.
At this juncture if the government is really relegate
in tackling the corruption as Mr. Omar
Abdullah recently said that we can tackle it but we cannot extirpate it. So
to take a step towards uprooting it they should take up the use of the latest technological boons
to tackle the corruption on the lower levels. E-Governance can be the
surpassing option to disparage the corruption not much at the higher level, but
on the lower level it can prove to be fruitful in the longer term. If we will
thrive in tackling this menace of the lower level then Insha’Allah the higher
level corruption like scams and scandals will lurk down dramatically, but this
is a long term process and it requires submissiveness and devoir.
Taking the small example of the issuance of
birth and death certificates where we often see the swap of bribes (lower level
corruption). We can opt for the system which will help us in registering any
death or birth online any time anywhere we want. Thus, ruling out
the case of tickling the palm (bribery) at that place. Another example is when we want to get the
documents of our land records known as ‘Intikhab’, during the issuance of
these ‘Intikhabs’ (land records) ‘Pathwaris’ demand worthwhile amount
of money for this. To tackle this we can digitize entire land records and put
them on the official website. Therefore one who is desired to get the
respective land records can login into the website and can download the same.
There are umpteen such examples where we can make use of technology to pare the
percentage of lower level corruption.
Thereupon by adopting such means we can tackle
the corruption on lower level. I have anatomized one thing that the lower level
corruption is commensurate
to the corruption at higher level, so we should start fighting from the grass root
level which will eventually
succor us in tackling it at higher level & will bring down its percentage
dramatically.
At the individual level we should have to supervene
some virtuous principles.
Corruption is against the moral and ethical values; even in Islam it is
verboten. We can find the statements of Prophet Muhammad PBUH in the books of
hadith where the prophet (PBUH) outlawed the corruption in the society. As the beloved prophet PBUH once said;
Abdullah
Bin Amur said:
The
Messenger of Allah (SWT) said: “Allah cursed the briber (Rashi) and the bribe-taker
(Murtashi)
