Corruption in India is an often debated subject. Despite the active participants like Rahul and Sachin brimming with their vigorous youth giving a positive trend, democracy is unlikely to see a smooth way ahead. I don’t think there is any ray of hope at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately, corruption now takes its turn in the centre. To be explicit, even those who are administered the Oath of Office have criminal background. Power corrupts man and sometimes it does absolutely. That is why bribery got counted as one of the technical terms in political dictionary. Hundreds of thousands, that fills the pockets, do the check. Politicians are, as they think, beyond our reach. To some extent, it is very correct in our so-called great democracy. We are supposed to have the right to choose the person we want. But we don’t have the right to call them back from the office if they fail to live up to our dreams. This provision, obviously not justified, made them free at the cost of lives of the poor, who are engaged in back-breaking efforts to make their both ends meet. That let all the hell loose.
