Corruption is an ancient problem that has been eating the marrow of the country. It exists only to subdue good causes. Corruption is not a necessary evil; it is only pure evil. Corruption in India exists for only one reason – self-interest of individuals.
It is of common knowledge in our country that politics is corrupted to the core. And the public doesn’t even bat an eye at it. It is accepted by the people and is nurtured by the truly corrupt. Even the two most trusted political entities, namely the Bharatiya Janta Party and the Indian National Congress, have not been forever free from the stain of corruption. Just recently, the Indian National Congress was involved in a party ticket sale case, in which the Congress Party ticket was sold at the price of Rs 3.5 crores in Rajasthan.
Such form of corruption surely scares the hell out of people. How low can someone go in order to fulfil their self-centered and extravagant requirements? Corruption has spread its roots into the smallest of crevices. Democracy has been truly undermined. Its significance has gone down steeply. The concept of a government for the people, of the people and by the people is kept at gunpoint.
Corruption in India reigns supreme. The main cause being that the corrupt are rich and at often times, beyond the law. The law itself has become corrupt. The paper money has replaced morality. The constitution is but a skeleton, with constitutional morality being its flesh. But the entire public conscience of constitutional morality has been thrown out of the window.
