CORRUPTION - A NAKED TRUTH

In my previous blogs, I have written fiction articles but today I decided to go social. Corruption has been part of our daily lives. We can't get rid of it 100% even if we want it.
I have mentioned two cases below completely opposite to each other. It shows a clear picture how our country is getting degraded because of corruption.

CASE 1:
"Instead of tax loopholes that incentivise investment in overseas jobs," Obama said in a speech in Ohio, "I’m proposing a more generous, permanent extension of the tax credit that goes to companies for all the research and innovation they do right here in Ohio, right here in the United States of America."
Barak Obama as a president has taken many initiatives for the welfare of his people. Right from the day he was elected till date his every speech has inspired every single American Cell and his words are threat to every single individual in India and China. Why a threat?
In the Month of September 2010, Mr. President in his speech announced that all the companies off shoring business in countries like India and China or would get a tax benefit so that they start investing in US and people of US get employed. It’s because of unemployment that the youth is falling in wrong hands. Theft, drugs, robbery have become very common on streets. People have no jobs but credit facility as mostly US economy runs on Credit facility. People having no jobs are unable to pay their dues resulting into sub prime losses resulting into a huge destruction to US Economy.


CASE 2:
A very famous case about corruption in news papers relating to Common Wealth Games. Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi plundered almost Rs 200 crores by increasing the expenses by 30% compared to actually value of the services and commodities procured. A net
expenditure of around Rs. 700 crore is said to be including such fraudulent deals whereas the investment should not be more than be Rs. 500 Crores.
After the games were over, the fight between Sheila Dixit and Suresh Kalmadi was in news blaming each other. These politicians blaming each other show how corrupt our most of the politicians of India are! They do not even think before spending the tax payer's money whether they are spending it sensibly or not. AND then I see an advertisement in newspapers to pay my part of income as tax for the development of the country and its people. I think its enough. We need Mr Kalmadi and Mrs Dixit to show us all the financial documents about where they spend each single Rupee on the name of the games. If there is a forgery in the balance sheet they need to pay the balance from their own pockets


The Main reason to highlight the above two cases were that, In CASE 1 where Mr. President was ready to cut the Tax so that his people get employed again and In CASE 2 we have our leaders utilizing our money for their selfish motives.


Aresh Shirali, Executive editor of A&M Magazine says, "Like most people of my age group, I am nauseated by the epidemic proportions. Corruption has acquired India. It is literally under every stone you turn."


Corruption is in every Alley you turn into, every nook and cranny you might care to peep into. It happens as much as in broad daylight and it does behind close doors. Rise in corruption in our society is because of us. 50% corruption rise is because people pay bribe because either they are too busy to waste time or they are too lazy to wait for their turn and rest 50% is due to those people who refuse to work without a bribe but if considered Big picture its US/We Public and We Public elect politicians and in turn giving our country and our economy in the hands of bunch of corrupt leaders and then its We Public complaining about Corruption. So to conclude I would say Corruption is a viscous circle that starts with We Public and revolves around us and has no end.
