hi Pranati,
THe issue is very sensitive, as corruption has spread its roots deep within the society (plz pardon me if I sound like a social worker, or watever).
can you imagine to get a driving licence without an agent (in mumbai)?
can you get your new flat, house ,plot registered without paying bribes at various levels?
just a few examples, I dont know if I make sense to all out there but the message that I want to convey is that at the end of the day most of us (if not all of us)want to get our work done hasslefree and quickly, isnt it??? Hence we pay bribes
I am not criticizing anyone, this is about me....I do this and I accept it.
Regarding doing something for the country, people do their bit in someway or the other for the benefit of the country, everyone does it (though unknowilngly).
Army personnel.....hatts off to them, I dont think anyone can question themfor their contribution to the country.
casting votes, do you think it really helps?Coz I dont think so (i do cast my votes) ever visited places like UP, Bihar, the North Eastern states???
for the real elections in India, visit these places and see if voting really matters.
paying taxes.....my family pays taxes, but my neighbours dont......in the month end we face financial problems, while they party all year round......why should I pay taxes???........this is just an example (not my case atleast).....
NGOs......recently I read a judgement against the owners of an orphanage, they were aentenced for few years with some fines to be paid.....do you know what was the case about? paedophilia (sexual abuse of children), I am not questioning all the NGOs but how do we know which one is a genuine?
SO we need to think of some other ways to contribute to the progress of the country.
Lastly, disclaimer: these are my personal views and nobody is bound to accept them.
Thanks and Regards,
SONIX
