Corruption in India

Just now I read a joke that an innocent fourth grader classifies 'one day India will be corruption free society' an example of 'future impossible tense' and gets caned by his too serious a teacher. But it set me thinking. I feel and think best way to judge a happening is that it's happening justifies it. I don't mean to say that a dacoity or a rape or a murder or a scam is justified. It is just that we deserve it. All such crimes and undesirable happenings are culmination of a series of events, actions ( or their absence) which we allow or perpetuate. No man is an island, so says the wise but all the time we act and behave otherwise. Some of the right thinking persons wish for a revolution to take place and set everything right instantly. It is just like wishing for an incarnation to descend on earth and correct everything for us. Therein lies the biggest flaw of our society. Our history is replete with such instances. We seldom do anything in our power and just sit back and dream for a miracle to happen and cure us of all our malady.
But, instead of leading or participating in an agitation or public demonstration, it will be better if we try to contribute our mite in whatever space or situation or position we are. To be effective is the name of the game. In trying to improve or contribute we should not become so impractical that system throws us out- like Arvind Kejriwal. We should learn from the likes of Gorbachev or T N Sheshan how to survive the system and at the same time improve it- till such time a revolution happens.
Jai Hind!!
