My Dream..Corruption Free India..

An advocate of silent protester, Gandhiji showed the world a new way to protest in the form of non-violence which is strong enough to convey the message more effectively and loudly. I used to dream of those days when people got attracted to the ideas of Gandhi and protested against the British with non violence as the only weapon in their hands. In a nation where the impossible becomes possible, the voice of a common man aged in 70s has brought all Indians together and that too for a great cause "India Against Corruption" in a non violent way. Its the dream of all Indians to see a corruption free nation and this man has brought all such people with Jan Lokpal bill.

Today myself and Vins registered our support to them in IAC Chennai center at Adayar. While starting from home, we expected only very few people to be there in the early morning. But to our surprise, there were thousands of people of all ages and different classes of society standing in queues for registration and rendering their support and send positive waves to the people on fast for the 6th day. People were full of all enthusiasm in supporting Anna Hazare and co. The one thing I liked about the organizers is they make sure it a non violence protest so far and controlled the mob really well. I wish they will keep it peaceful till the end. Almost everyone in the crowd are speaking about black money and the corruption in crores and they hope on Jan Lokpal to bring down corruption and the black money. I even hear people saying the government officers and the ministers will be in check and hence there will not be any corruption and bla blas. Though I also feel jan lokpal will bring the change to some extent, it alone cannot be the solution for corruption and black money as most people believe. I can feel the spark in all to make our nation ideal. Corruption Free India is the target to all.

 Honestly if I think, We people always feel light in pointing others for the mistakes and projecting the likes of Raja and kalmadi and the govt officers are only the culprit face of the nation. Will the nation become corruption free with these guys changed good or punished or hanged which ever the case? How many of us, the so called non government officers and ministers, who are only true to the nation pay our tax properly and not bringing any loss to the nation??

I remember in my team of 20, almost all produced fake rent forms every year for HRA to get tax exemption. Honestly 7 out 10 on that day are from own house but still produced the fake rental slip for 9 K per month. It means only because of our team, money in thousands becomes black every month. To many standing behind the yellow line in the road for the last 10 seconds in red signal is the toughest task to be done and they cant afford to wait those last 5 seconds. Dont they are the culprits encouraging the corruption near traffic signals if they get caught by the traffic constables. In many cases corruption is because of people who wants the extra privilege and those are to find the way to escape from the legal actions for their mistakes. Which traffic constable asks money when you are having helmets, driving in normal speed, travelling one or two and particularly with all the documents. How many times the land or building properties are registered with original value? To avoid the needed registration papers, most times land are estimated low and there by making money black. How many times we ever feel bad for having AC in car in long drive cool climate and there by wasting the national resource unnecessarily. How many of us ever feel when the water tap is leaking? So all of us are doing harm to the nation and society and there by bringing loss to the nation which can also be a corruption. So corruption is every where and with everyone in different forms and almost all holds responsible for the black money in one or the other way.

Raja and co are just the scapegoats for the mistakes of the entire nation.

If really an ideal nation is the dream, the change should be from each and every one along with the implementation of strict laws/body against corruption and blackmoney like Lokpal. I wish the enthusiasm which is spread across the nation this time makes people understand their duties and responsibilities. It is also the duty of people who understand the process to make atleast one to think and understand the need of the change, the nation is expecting from them.

 I dream the day where the proper tax payers are not looked odd, people who follow the rules and regulations are not the idiots and each and every one have some time to think about the good for others and the nation.
