Corruption

What is corruption? It’s like that monster in a society that gulps down all the beauty & charm of society, devalues its position.

It’s the invention of those people who have their sole belief in bribery and commission. They make their illegal work legal, with a spray of corruption. Corruption discourages the merit and ability. It deprives the deserving people from a particular job. It assigns jobs to those who are not eligible enough to perform a particular task. It promotes “dull & uneducated "group of people. Any organization or institution whether it is product oriented or service based is badly affected by this social evil. The radiations of corruption melt down even the huge “mountain of snow” and destroy it. Corruption causes a disease like cancer to a system/country/society. Corruption like termite destroys the roots of a system. The building which is decorated with the paint of corruption becomes fully destroyed.

It is very common in our country, from class one level job to the head and ministers of the country. People who deserve a particular job or seat are pulled out and unable people are pushed in to do the jobs. People having their links with authority take away rights of deserving people. That’s the reason that we are moving towards darkness and still there are other social evils like poverty, hatred, depression, suicide, intolerance, violence, war, crime, etc. resulting, leaving the deserving people jobless, hopeless and full of stress. There is no “ray of life” for them in future. It creates hatred for the system and the country as well. People do not want to live in such a system infected and damaged by the termites of bribery and commission. Our country will be developed only if there will be right person on the right job and that each per-forms his work devotedly & dedicatedly with love and affection for the country in their Hearts.
