Corruption-how to cure india

When I think about corruption, I think about me and you, I think about us and the society, and I also think about those corrupted persons, who are fighting for corrupting the corruption. Corruption is not a pebble that you can pick it up and throw it, like it is nothing.
Corruption is one million times bigger than the Everest, and the same amount of times, deeper than the deepest oceans. But as a matter of fact, corruption is not a physical structure and is now in our DNA and is flowing within us, in our blood and our heart is pumping it, loving it and nurturing it like nothing else. By looking at others we cannot see corruption rather we have to look within us to see the mightiness of corruption. The entire body of the society is corrupted, and just we cannot alone blame the politicians, executives, judiciary, business persons or anyone else for promoting corruption.
Can we make India corruption free? Can we really fight against us? Well, likewise thousands of questions are raised every day by you and me. And the answer is, yes! We can but not a big YES.
Yes! We can eradicate corruption from India. But let me make it crystal clear to you that we cannot just eradicate it, by changing laws, by doing hunger strikes, and street fighters on the road, nor we are eradicate it by the virtue of some persons who are fighting for removing corruption from India. And let me also tell you that all the dramas you watch on television and stories you read on the internet are not and never going to help in any way to fight with corruption.
So what to do? How to eradicate corruption from India? Well, let me suggest you some of the possible ways to fight and win over the corruption. As a matter of fact let me also make it clear that we cannot eradicate corruption at the stroke of the midnight, it will definitely take the necessary amount of time, and anything all of a sudden will have terrible consequences.

1. Change in Law

Some people believe that by making certain changes in LAW and refreshing the old law with new twists, we can diminish the tower of corruption. Well, I believe it will help at least .05 % or even less. There are many holes in Law and these holes are for eternity, so just by tweaking from here and there nothing great could be achieved. But definitely it will help, so we must bring the necessary changes to our municipal law.

2. Introduction of New laws

At present, many power thirsty persons are shouting and roaring like injured lions, to introduce new interactive laws to uproot the roots of this evil. But by just introducing a new law, nothing will happen because at present we have handful laws for punishing and tampering the murders, rapists, dacoits and etc.
And every day thousands of cognizable offences are committed and due to lack of evidence, loopholes in law and more because of the broken pillars of our judiciary system, the accused are released free. Day by day the pillars of our judiciary system are diminishing and if this quake continues then the entire system will breakdown within next 10 years, as a house made of sand, slopes down, by the slight of a breath.
No amount of punishment, no amount of penalties can engulf corruption from head to toe. At first, we need to set back the broken pillars of the judiciary system, and make sure that the already established penalties are implemented in the right way, Murdered, dacoits, rapist should be published. Every person who does cognizable offences should be punished without delay.
From another point of view, I believe that something is definitely better than nothing. So at this level of esteem evils, some new laws will certainly help to some extent, and that some extent, seems better than no extents.

3. Bringing awareness among people

We must bring awareness amount people about corruption. Well, this seems to me a big joke. We Indian, with the blessings of GOD, are much more aware about corruption than many western countries. In fact, that day when people will say, ‘What is corruption? Pardon, we have never heard of it, will be the day of wisdom for India. We must not create awareness about the evils of corruption, we must not ask our students to write an essay or give a speech on corruption. Because the more we talk and learn about corruption, the more we will attract corruption towards us. But does this mean that we should not speak anything about corruption. Is it physically possible to shut our mouth towards corruption? No, but we must…
Well, the above points will just touch corruption, but will not even pinch it. The nuclear bomb or in local words BRAHMA YASTRA that can completely eradicate corruption is this:

4. HATE and ABANDON

Well, we need to hypnotize ourselves, our society, men and women, children’s and every breathing soul of India, not to hate corruption, because we all hate corruption, but to hate the corrupt people. I think this is the wisdom of the day. We should hate and treat the corrupt people in the very same way in which our ancestors (high class people) were treating the untouchables, at that frame of time. Every corrupt person should be treated as an untouchable person and every innocent person of the society should hate the corrupt person from within the deep cores of his heart.
A corrupt person should be declared as a person belonging to a separate race (devils race) of the society. His family, friends and relatives should be warned not to come close to him; else they should be also treated as corrupted. Circumstances should be created in such a way, so that an innocent person should not give food, water and shelter to a corrupted person.
The family of a corrupt person, should be looked as an alien family, and the basic facility of education, services and business licenses should not be provided to any of his family persons, unless and until they themselves eliminate and abandon the corrupt person from their family.

Open letter to rahul dravid

Dear Rahul,
I doubt, I know a person who hates you. Over the years, I have met some of your most ardent fans and also people who may not be completely in your awe but still respect you to a great extent. It is hard to believe in a world like this where people are so candid and fearless about their opinions, they have refrained from passing even a slightly negative comment about you. It puts you in a class of your own, something that even the greatest masters of the game have failed to achieve.
You have gone through a tough time in recent months. While the sheer controversial nature of the incident that threw everything in a frenzy is enough to catch even the best of people off guard; I know, it must be completely debilitating for a man of your stature. You have lived your life by ideals that touch pinnacles of perfection, a feat that is impossible for ordinary people like us. To be embroiled in a controversy where you were not at fault must have been terribly shameful for you.
I am sure you would like nothing more than to go back in time and stop things before they happened. I am sure you would like to erase every single bad memory of those disgraceful weeks. I am sure you would like to correct the thoughtless deeds of people who you once held near as your own. But you know you can’t.
It is a kind of failure that you will have to live with for the rest of your life. No one will blame you, no one ever has. You have only got sympathy from people. But I know, sympathy is not what you want. You want to be at peace with yourself. Pity, peace is something that you have lost long ago in this chaotic world.
The success of your team in the recently concluded Champions League is indeed praiseworthy. Simply, getting back your team together on its feet and fighting back in the only way you know has been an achievement of mammoth proportions. But deep down in your heart, you know, you will continue to chide yourself about how you failed in your own eyes.
It was for a brief moment but that one fraction of time was enough for you to finally accept that the world has changed drastically since the last time you took it at it’s face value. It is also a lesson for all of us, a painful one but nevertheless a more important one to assimilate.
I can only imagine how difficult it must be to be a rahul dravid. Just as how difficult it is to be a ‘sachin tendulkar’. That man has been a topic of global debate for a long time now. I doubt whether I know any other person who brings out such extreme reactions of love and hate at the same time. If there are millions out there who love Sachin, there are a million more who hate him with the same undisguised intensity. There is no middle ground.
Those are his demons, very contrasting from yours. People’s opinions about him are generally clear and distinct, not confusing and random. This makes your demons more powerful and fearsome. You hardly give rise to anything negative around yourself, you are a widely respected person. The lack of balance makes you more susceptible to all the bad that is out there. Living a life with high moral standards such as yours, has made you more vulnerable to the outside world.
I know, a win in the final would have meant a lot to you. It had a purpose – to wipe out all the hurt that was generated in the last few months. I am sure everybody agrees, it was possible only for a man of your character and integrity to push your team to this extent. And in that right, you deserved the win more than Sachin.
Right from the first ipl  season, Rajasthan has always been a team that defined sheer dedication and hard-work. Shane Warne did a wonderful job of creating a group of young and inexperienced but talented and dedicated lads. You were his worthy successor. Under y

our leadership, the team flourished even more so. You gave chances to unknown names and nurtured minds with hidden potential. You believed in people, others long ago gave up on. It was a difficult legacy to uphold but you did a remarkable job with it. To continue this tradition is not going to be an easy task for your successor.
Today’s cricketers are different than you and your peers. Humility and Honesty are not the cornerstones of their existence like yours. Their approach is more practical and straightforward. It is filled with raw passion and aggression. They get what they want in their own ways. But that is okay, cricket has evolved so much since your time that today’s battles begin on a different note.
I am glad though that I have been a witness to your era and it deeply saddens me that my kids won’t. They will know you through books, pictures, and videos as a distant figure but they will never experience you first-hand they way my generation did. I now know, what my parents would have felt when they tried in vain to explain us cricketers of their times.
It is a natural process this – everything fades away. New heroes are born. Mighty in their own way, having evolved significantly different than those of yesteryears’. Change is the only constant thing of our life; the only thing that will continue to bind us long after we perish.
I am sure you will find ways to pay your debt back to the game – as a coach or a mentor… But, it still would not be the same. It will be like making a compromise. We have already lost you as a ‘player’ – a form that mesmerized us for nearly two decades. We will now try to deal with it in every way we can. We will re-live all the happy memories over and over again. But, in reality…….in reality, we will mourn this loss much later, long after the wound has healed.
With love, respect & admiration,

A fan-turned devotee
