Corruption attracts wrong people to our august houses.
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.
In spite of all our wishes and efforts we could not write off corruption from India. It had been present since generations and even Shri Guru Nanak Devji, the first Guru of the Sikhs referred to corruption in the judicial system of that time, which means, corruption had become a way of life with us. The people of India give bribe to get their work done and since the people cannot believe that their work could be done without paying money, they place some money before the gods when they conduct their prayers. The people themselves are the main cause of corruption in India and therefore, they would not stop paying bribes and people taking bribes shall not stop taking bribes. The present new forms of corruption are scams, scandals, muddles and commissions are new developments and these forms corruptions could be carried out only when the people maintaining government files are also involved and taken into confidence.
And when the positions on government side are the only source of collecting money, the wrong people are coming to this side and the present system of elections is most favourable to them. They spend huge amounts and get into positions where they can collect money. The system of collecting money from individuals is no more alive, but they indulge in big scams, scandals and muddles and they collect huge amounts and we have already been informed that huge amounts are deposited under fake accounts in banks out of India and the people collecting money are enjoying with this money in front of our eyes and we cannot do anything and even the government is not interested to confiscate this money because their own people are involved in these scandals and their own people are having accounts in such banks.
So we can say that our corrupt system has attracted corrupt people and they are attaining entries in our august houses and they are enjoying all those facilities which were available to the rajas, mahaarajas, monarchs and the imperialists. So this system shall continue because the people have got no alternative with them and when they come to elect people they get the same sets of people before them and they are compelled to elect the same sets of people. Some people say that there shall be revolution, but I say with authority that there shall never be a revolution in India because the people of India had remained under slavery for centuries and they have developed habits of slavery and slave people never rise in revolution.
