Digital Dream: Say ‘NO’ to CORRUPTION

I am really ashamed and feeling terrible due to all the mess created in CWG and with all the media coverage that it is attraction and is also marking a nation that is supposed to be the 3rd most powerful nation in the world with a bad name. One of the top official of CWG OC said in there defence that “India have different level of hygiene and lifestyle we should not compare it with Beijing Olympics.” Well in this sweet tone he certainly refers to the low hygiene and lifestyle and that’s a blow more to the world class infrastructure and working condition of emerging India. Even though he says so that does not means that people coming to India expects to see tigers and snake charmers and streets dogs running all over their bed and neither that means it has to be prodigal. People in the cooperate world of today's India know that fact very well the we are behind no one. We had a chance to prove the world and embrace them with our luxury and our sweetness. Still we have not lost at all we still have a chance to make it right we can still make their stay a better one I mean best of what they have ever experienced so that when they go back to their countries they can say a story that how India recovered from all those initial mess and gave them such a awesome stay.

So from where all these kind of problems arises .. ha .. Good guess its got to be corruption that spread from the root to the top. There is a second fees to be paid in bureaucracy starting straight from peon to top officials to get you work done. There are some NGO who are working hard to at least minimise it.

A site www.ipadiabribe.com that tries to check corruption in their own way. Its is a non profit organisation that works with citizens and government to change the quality of life in India. The working model for the organization is simple and effective.

visit the site there are instances of bribe paid as low as ` 10 to lakhs of ` . One interesting story states

“Department:
Police

Transaction:
Investigation of case

Bribe Type:
personal

Details:
In the year 2004 my father was arrested, stating that he is the Director-in-charge of a Non-Banking financial institution which he was not,and was taken on remand. when I visited the police station to provide medicine and water to my father the then thana incharge of tukoganj police station Mr. Guru slappped me and said we'll do the same with your father if you will not pay 5 lakh Rs. for the development fund of tukoganj police station. I requested him a lot that I am not having such a big amount then one Mr. ********** who was the Sub-Inspector of that police station came to my rescue and adviced me to pay atleast 3 lakh Rs. then I called my family members and freinds to arrange this amount and we arranged Rs. 1,70,000 and then we requsted Mr. guru and his associates that they should not torture my father any further.”

Now that's one of the cruel act that we as a common citizens have to face in our daily life. Join it take a pledge fight against it.

There is another site www.jago.in which have the same motive.

Although the system has become more transparent by the introduction of RTI and other few laws. the only thing that is lacking is unawareness we as a citizens should be aware of our rights and fight tooth and nail for those. And stop paying for our common rights like to file and FIR and for our birth certificate and on a whole stop paying bribe at all .

Remembering even those of us who pay bribe are equally guilty as we provide platform for them to ask and again ask for more.

Instead take a pledge and fight with it. Remember its a disease and when one gets ill we take preventions and take pills to kill the disease and not just sit idol and have the disease take their chance to win over us.
