OUR NATIONAL HOBBY!
From officials to policy makers, from civil servants to ministers, from cricket players to chairman of the board, everyone in India is obsessed with our national hobby which in place denote our age old problem- CORRUPTION.Is it really a problem? I call it the annihilator of Democracy and the difficulty to tackle the problem as the biggest failure of the largest democracy.Unfortunately the problem is hiking everyday that it becomes so common and even difficult to call it a problem.
India believed to be one of the fastest growing economies faces a critical problem of poverty. According to U.N report one third of world's poor people live in India. As per world bank reports of 2014 there are 179.6 million poor in India (statistics may differ).India with a par excellent demographic dividend is also facing a severe problem of unemployment. Despite the fact that millions are starving in our nation, thousands die of hunger the annual generation of black money is more than 50 percent of our GDP.People holding accounts in swiss banks are also increasing every year. With the supreme court's intervention in the issue of black money we can hope there will be a positive change in the future.
Years back Dadabhai Naoroji made " Drain theory" to explain the draining of India's wealth by British rulers.Now "Drain theory " phase 2 can be formulated describing the drainage of India's wealth by our National rulers itself.With Vinod Rai's disclosure of the Government's role in promoting bribe in our country, the demolition of democracy is anticipated. To add helplessness we lack a youth spirited in nationalism.Still, atleast if each one of us take an oath to lead a life in truth and stay apart from corruption tat could make a difference. Vande Mataram!
