Root cause of corruption:
The root cause of corruption is jealous/greediness. Further in-efficient people are hired in govt jobs. They become greedy when a well educated qualified /hard working person earn lot of money and live comfortably.
This is what happening. Honesty, hard work, truth will never succeed in India. India is the most corrupted country in the world.
It does not mean that other countries are not corrupted. Corruption exists in all country, but it is not punishable in India.
Corrupt India zindabad... Corrupt Congress Zindabad...
Hi Suresh,
Sad to read your post, but not surprising at all. Let me add to the root of corruption in India.
1. The land re-destribution, govt take over of the wealth from landlords, princes etc.. is the first action that started corruption. why? - In the past the princely kingdoms & the landlords were the entrepreneurs who provided employement for millions of farmers through out the country. so when the Govt took over the land, all the landlords closed down their businesses & moved abroad, or to the cities etc..
But the lively hood of the farmers was completely destroyed. why? income stopped. what will they do with the 1 or 2 acre land, they cannot grow anything & sell in the market. they had no eduction, no financial, market knowledge let alone business skills. OVERNIGHT INDIA WAS REDUCED TO DIRE POVERTY - ENTIRE RURAL SECTOR WAS DESTROYED, EVEN TODAY YOU CAN SEE THE PEOPLE POURING INTO THE CITIES FROM THE VILLAGES. remember the green revolution, becos the entire food economy collapsed, so the govt went into this green revolution crap !
so the "monkey" Nehru (remember the old monkey story where it kills the king with the sword it was supposed to protect) instead of fixing the landlords for exploting laborers, cruelty etc.. by a simple legislation, took away the lively hood of all the farmers. thats why you keep hearing our "kingdoms" were very rich, people had a lot of money, etc.. Nobody knows or talks about how people suddenly become so poor !! - Congress controlled media - u know what i am talking about here.
2. Govt became the major employer becos of socialist policies, public sector etc. private sector got stiffled due to "license raj". So everyone was fighting, bribing to get into Govt jobs. It was a "survival issue". hence the fight for reservation by various groups. so corruption started from here. Once these people got into the govt, they started looting as much wealth becos they had seen the dire poverty earlier - so human instinct for survival led to massive corruption.
3. Systemic Corruption - Politicians & Govt employees, started systematically looting this wealth by "fixed public auction", discretionary quota where they can allocate this land to their kith & kin in the name of public wealth etc..
3. Most of the brilliant people stiffled by reservation, corruption moved abroad. Brain Drain - best of talent is abroad, leaving the junk, useless, negative folks in India.
4. Democracy changed to "mobocrazy" + "Goodaraj" becos only goondas could come to power by fixing the elections, threatening people to vote for them, threatening the other "honest" candidates, bribing people with sarees & liquor bottle & cash etc..
5. After the Gandhi family destroyed the country completely, we became bankrupt in 1990 & Narasimha Rao unleashed the path breaking reforms, removed "license raj" reviving the private sector & hence most of us today are not bothered about Govt jobs, working in private companies, started our own companies etc..
But the Govt still controlls a large portion of the country's economy, entire rural sector is still in their control, hence no hope there.
for our country, the only solution is privatise all the govt activities & reduce their reach.
Cheers,
JK
