Corruption and Rang de Basanti
I saw the Poll of TOI yesterday and around 75 % percent feels that corruption is the biggest menace india is facing today.. corruption has become so rampant nowadays that people has accepted it as a part and parcel of life..In the movie "Rang de basanti", we could see that initially everybody felt that nothing can be done ...
I know this is big problem and there is no easy solution to it.. but we cant keep quiet and let it happen.. we the young generation has to take the lead to curb this.. i am not subscribing to what the rang de basanti team did..i respect their sentiments and concern for the country.. but i have always been a follower of Gandhiji's ideology of truth and non violence.. i mean we got independence not becoz of violence but becoz of non-violence..
it is rightly said that "A smile can make everything straight" ..
what i meann to say is that we have take the another route..
i always pondered about how to fight corruption and have come up with some pointers that may help reduce it ..
First of all, education is a must and as one can see the most illiterate states like Bihar, UP are the most corrupted..I believe that knowledge is power and this power will make the people aware of their rights, what is right or wrong..
Secondly, media( the fourth estate) has to play a major role.. it is nice to see that it has been doing a commendable job and the unearthing of various scams is prove of it... my only request to the mediapersons is that dont select news only on the basis of TRP ratings it will fetch but as a responsible citizen of India...
Thirdly, technology has changed the look of the world .. and i feel technology can be used asa major weapon to curb corruption.. and i am happy that many people have done it like ITC e-choupal and many more.. Also the right to information bill has been passed in which technology is playing a major role..
Finally i believe that encouraging competition in the economy will help a great way..we can see it in the field of Telecom and many more..
I really liked the dialogues of the film which said " No country is perfect and it ours duty to make it better by enrolling ourselves in IAS, IPS, etc.." i am really going to play my role in doing my some bit and i believe that if everybody feels the same way and ready to do their some bit then we can really make a difference..I hope such movies will make the people realise the graveness of the situation and to forget the "chalta hai " attitude.
I can tell you that for the dream India 2020 of APJ Abdul kalam to realise , we really have to do sth about this demon....
I LOVE MY COUNTRY VERY MUCH AND I WILL DO MY BIT AND REQUEST ALL FELLOW INDIANS TO DO THEIR BIT, TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR COUNTRY ACHIEVES THE DREAM.
Jai Hind!!!

What do you think about the sex scandals.. it is also a part of corruption. DPS clip, Anara Gupta, don't u think, displaying people private time without their consent is it nor a part of corruption?? And kudos for your concern. And we are doing exactly what Aamir khan has said in the movie "Ek pair past par, aur ek pair future par rakh kar hum present par muth rahe hain". We should stop making our present as peeing area. Keep blogging :)
Dear Upraiser,
What Jalan probably meant was that if u have a smile on your face, people might think you are a very straightforward person. It may not make them forget bribe, but at least it may make them feel bad about taking bribe from an innocent person. Once or twice it may not make a difference, but in the long run, having a smiling face surely helps.
The same theory holds for your girlfriend(s) also. Whenever they ask u for gifts, just smile... After a few days, they will stop asking. This may not be the best solution, but to stop a corrupt practice, this is definitely an efficient solution.
I have never bought any gifts for my girlfriends. I know that if they really love me, they will be with me even if i dont shower them with expensive gifts. But still, if they expect gifts from me, they are not my true friends. So, sometimes, corruption can also prove who is meant for you and who is not. If there was no corruption, there would be no way of knowing who is honest and who is bad...
Long live corruption!
I think what Jalan has to say is true, but idealistic. I would like to see where he is 10 years down the line and what he has to say then. The point is nobody has to comprise to get ahead...I don't subscribe to that idea...however lifting everybody else from the morass of corruption is far more difficult than it looks like. Anyway my best regards and best of luck for the future...
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
