“SCAMS” screams the political stage in India these days, every now and then we have a channel breaking news with a new scam or a twist in the already discovered one. I feel DNA’s India positive campaign will be fruitless if this continues for some more time for they’ll have to print an India positive banner on one side and news about the new scam involving a new minister on the other. Guess the campaign will run out of positive facts and ultimately change their name to DNA India Negative.
But an India positive fact is that our politicians are undeterred by any of this. Just look at our competent opposition. They are working hard to prove that the ruling party has done it all wrong and that we now in the opposition will not change any of this if we come to power. The deal is already struck among the master minds of the political arena, we lose power this time; you should have our back and we’ll take care of yours in the course ahead.
Breeding corruption in the backyards of their home these politicians have the support and vote of the people out there - You, me and us. We vote with the hope that there will be a change, we don’t vote to show that we don’t care, we speak highly of ourselves but when caught by traffic police without seat belts we settle the Rs.100/- fine at Rs.50/- and feel relieved that we salvaged the balance amount which we then spend on beers and cigarettes for the night. We Indians are born corrupt. We develop the quality with the help of selfishness, social demarcations, envy and covetous mentality and then end up with an arrant corrupt mind till we turn young and understand the need of these qualities in our day to day life. Then we justify it. It’s like a Trojan virus outbreak which has to be plucked out of every affected system; in our case we are the systems affected by the virus called Corruption – desirable but harmful.
What can be done? I am not the guy with the answer. I don’t know what I can do to change myself. Even I am corrupt I know. End of the world will be a good idea. If God is reading this, then I would request to him to run a system scan on the people who outlive the apocalypse just to be sure that the hidden virus is deleted before reboot. We can start afresh with few sane minds that can begin from scratch, learn from the past and build a new world.
Rest the battle between the good and the bad, the almighty and the devil will go on till the end of time OR till the time every one becomes Good or every one turns Devil.
