Is it the media hype, which is acting hard over corrupt mentalities, is it a new dawn, is it a rational approach to tackle corruption or its again a political propaganda?
Can Dhritrashtra be excepted to deliver a sound verdict in favour of Pandavas, even creation of Indraprastha was not lacking malefic intentions ! The only difference between Dhritrashtra and Today's politicians is that he was blind by birth and our politicians become after coming in power !
Its often said prevention is better than cure, but then I can bet our politicians either don't know this proverb or they don't believe it, take the case of Babri Mosque demolition, the government of so called secular party 'congress' being in power and most importantly knowing the facts didn't stop the menace, and later suspended the constitutionally elected governments in way to showcase their political will.
Had our politicians been so strong with their political will, we would have been free from at least internal vices like Naxals etc.
Lets come back to the point, question was 'Demolition of Aadarsh building will not be a fitting reply to corruption prevailing in all walks of life'
Let's identify the face of corruption? It came from where, who did spread this epidemics, can we overcome it, if yes from where to start, how many among 100 are not corrupt?
Most of the questions though very common are sort of puzzles and perhaps requires a lot contemplation before going for reply. Corruption has prevailed in all races of human being in one form or another. It is not driven by forces like misery or prosperity but by the motive of getting more irrespective of what one has today. If one has nothing to ride, he may think of bicycle, one who has bicycle may think of car, one having car may think of two or three of luxurious brands..and the wishes continue indefinitely, at some point of time one feels the scarce of wealth to meet the demand and there he is ill motivated towards corruption, it is not just people think to earn more for themselves but even for their coming generations. Today I can bet 98 out of 100 people are indulge in one or another form of corruption, my assumptions may seem to be overestimating the facts, at times these value may be different based on one's relative frame of defining corruption, mine may be a bit harsh, because I think even a small deed of corruption my lead to 100% corrupt personality in way similar to a small seed leads to a giant tree.
Corruption is the part and parcel of one's daily life activities, some time we do it out of compulsion, sometimes out of greed and at times out of habit. All are dangerous since one promotes others.The corruption starts at birth, when we fail to register child's birth or we go for ultrasound check up to identify the gender of unborn baby or something else and continues till we breathe for the last time and worst of all it's impression didn't last even after death,look at Bofors Scam and Rajiv Gandhi, the ghost is not allowing him to rest at peace even after more than 20yrs of his death.
The million dollar question is 'Can one avoid corruption?', now its very simple to reply, the answer goes,'NO, not in ordinary circumstances',you need to have nerve of iron and veins of steel to keep yourself out of this dirt.
So the next question arises,'Who will make a move against corruption'? Its not just against corruption, it would be revolt against one's own-self as corruption is in the blood of almost everyone, it is perhaps not possible singly to even think of trying to eliminate this evil, but then I think, an effort by group may lead to some good results, when it comes to group it calls for a leader and no sooner leadership comes,corruption comes as shadow so it becomes a viscous cycle.
But let us be hopeful at some point of time we may get a right leader.
Now lets come back to question again, will demolition of Aadarsh Building be a befitting reply to corruption?
I am sure it can't, it is just a propaganda of government fighting hard to wipe the stigma on its face. The government is trying to showcase its goodwill, which definitely has no teeth. The government should mind that the money to build it has not come from Swiss bank but it is hard earned tax payer's money.
For the long time government at center and state remain blind and allowed the construction of 31 storeyed building, then Mr Jairam Ramesh was waiting for the whole drama to unveil or he was sleeping..why did he wake up now? The size of building was increased from 6 to 31 and no one noticed it. All this is just a mockery of democracy for social welfare.
Anyway, what could be the solution now?
You don't need telescope to see millions and in fact billions dwelling in slums and out skirts of metropolis, give it to them a part of it and remaining to those for whom it was meant i.e. widows of Kargil martyrs but then don't leave those culprits and in fact, first heavily penalize them and then throw them behind the bar irrespective their post and power.
If really government is willing to fight corruption, it must do this else put on a thick glass over eyes and enjoy the misery of country
