1.Corrupution for need:- taking into consideration current scenario were survival
of best and that to with power and money is trend in most of the case as I have
observed, everyone wants to go with certain steps to achieve that target and thats
to is his right to attain it but, in current system of governance it becomes next to
impossible to attain that target so most of the people or person directly linked with
this government, start taking benefits of their power and becomes a part of
corruption system.
Let me explain this with the help of example which I have observed, while I went
to police station in order to file a RTI application, regarding auction sale of
vehicles. It was mention in one of the wall of police station bribe is offence and a
constable sitting their charging rs-100 for per renewal of night permission from
auto drivers to run their auto in that particular area. On recipt for that and no record
was maintained for the same, when I enquired for the same from one of auto driver
he told that this was token fees with which we are regularly charged.
Now when I asked for the same with a constable, his words made me to think a lot
about such problem, he explained me each and every thing related to such corrupt
practises and why they are taking place.
Police station located at barra (naubasta) Kanpur, total population covered by that
station was approx 1-1.5 lacs.
Now for such a big amount we are putting such a little amount to secure it, to with
old arms and risk of life.
Hows that possible in such a small amount and that to risk of life why someone is
going to take any risk what happen to their family if something wrong goes to them
so ultimately they have to go with corrupt practices to full fill their needs.
Some of the suggestions given by that constable to overcome with this problem
and stop corrupt practises in their department:-
After a bulk of research and going through articles of Arindam Chaudary and kiran
bedi regarding economic growth and corruption of a country I have concluded that
if police and inspection department becomes active we can easily over come with
70% of corruption problem because once feeling of security comes into mind of
people ultimately at that particular place heavy investment and in returns it
generates employment and tax to various government department.
2. Corruption for greed:- One of the worst problems with corruption in India is
the creation of black money, i.e., money that is used in such transactions which
is neither taxed nor is spent openly. It travels to and from secret bank accounts
abroad, or, worse, is used by the corrupt to indulge in gross luxurious consumption
and bribery. Black money also funds elections and there is no proper accounting. It
tempts the receiver to stash and salt away part of the campaign funds. Since
elections leads to political power of those thus funded and enriched, future
governments become bribe-compliant and therefore protect the crooked.
This money enables politicians and business persons to carry cash around the
world for pleasure, and sometimes even be caught with it. For example, on
September 27, 2001, Rahul Gandhi and his live-in girlfriend were arrested by the
FBI at Bostons Logan airport with $ 160,000 in cash, for declaring it to the US
Customs. US law requires cash at hand of more than $10,000 to be so declared.
But he was let off after nine hours in FBI custody at the intervention of the then
BJP- led government, which for some mysterious reason had played guardian to
Ms.Sonia Gandhi and her family throughout their tenure.
Lets take an another example how we are participating in corrupt practises just for
the sake of small savings or profit:-
While using public transport, what I have observed for most of the time when
distances is of upto 1-3 km, take cash from us and most of the time we dont ask
for ticket and when we ask for the same they says for more money and we say
leave it I dont need ticket, this happens in 80% of the cases and in long distance
cases just for the shake of few rs we most of the time dont prefer to have ticket of
the travel.
Now what happens due to all this the fare which is received in order to service
provided, which is not in record or without ticket becomes black money .
As per the information received from conductor, in a particular bus daily about
1500 people used this service, in which 1000 are of small distance and 500 are of
long distance.
80% are of small distance (50% are pas holder) which dont prefer tickets.
30% are of long distance (50% are pas holder) which dont prefer tickets.
1-3 km= rs 4
3-6 km= rs 6
6-10 km= rs 10
10-above= rs 15
25*10(long distance)=250
So, 400*2500=100000
In one year approx 25 cr are converted into black money just by our negligence.
For every 1 per cent increase in per capita GDP growth beyond 5 per cent per
annum, all our representatives will get a one-off 5 per cent bonus.
For every 1 per cent permanent reduction defined as a reduction sustained for
two years in the number of people below the poverty line, MPs and MLAs will
get a permanent 1 per cent increase in their base salary. Once the negative income
tax system is fully established, the entire reduction in poverty will be incorporated
permanently into the base salary.
For every ten ranks that India rises on a sustained basis of two years in
Transparency International rankings, there will be a 5 per cent one-off bonus.
There will be a permanent 20 per cent increase on base salary upon Indias
becoming the worlds least corrupt country for two years in a row.
The sum of these bonuses will be limited to a total of 50 per cent of the base salary
in any given year.
A virtuous cycle of morality will thus be established which will not only eliminate
poverty but overcome the vicious cycle of corruption established by Nehruvian
socialism. Legislation will also be introduced to create a genuinely independent
Political Representative Incentives Commission charged with research on, and
making recommendations on the following:
The Commission would consult widely with the community and look at
international best practice. The recommendations of the Commission, made at its
sole discretion and whenever it considers fit, would bind the public exchequer, i.e.
there will be no voting on its recommendations. This will eliminate the dilemma
faced by political representatives who find the public or media unsupportive when
they vote for an increase in their own salaries. Such lack of public support creates
strong incentives for subterfuge through a host of perquisites and underhand
dealings. The independent commission will bring sanity into a matter as
fundamental and important as this.
repeal of the requirement in the Representation of the People Act for Indian
political parties to swear allegiance to socialism;
the security deposit for elections would be increased to Rs 5 lakhs from the current
Rs 10,000, and forfeited when less than one-twentieth of valid votes are polled by
a candidate. This lower forfeiture limit will allow many more candidates to contest,
while the much higher security deposit will deter non-serious candidates.
There is clearly some arbitrariness in these numbers which will need to be fine-
tuned over time to ensure that the gate is kept open for serious candidates but shut
out for frivolous ones.
And yet, I do believe these are nice people and their efforts must be respected. I
applaud Anna for his belief that he is fighting against corruption (that this is not the
way to do it, is a different matter). Similarly I applaud Baba Ramdev for his fight
against corruption (although he too, doesn't have a clue about resolving this
matter).
