First thing is why this blog I am Against Corruption is created. Will blogging against corruption do the job? Or, do we need to come to streets to build corruption-free India? If one thinks that coming to streets is a better way, we support him. In fact, this is the purest form of democracy when people ask their representatives to do their job. Let us tell you that in Greece, there used to conduct a grand meeting in which all citizens were eligible to speak and vote in the assembly, which set the laws of the city state. But, we are a big country with huge population. Every one can not directly participate in legislation. That's why representatives are chosen and we expect them to speak the voices of the people. As we see nowadays, political complexity and dogfight for power has changed the meanings of democracy and politics. Bad political reforms and lack of strong law against corruption has worsen the situation.
To change the condition we need to work on a long-term strategy. Not only coming to streets and participating mass-movements will complete the job. Roots of corruption are so deep now that no single bill (as we discuss about Janlokpal Bill) can eradicate the menace from our society. Awareness can serve as long term strategy to complete the job. Awareness about general laws, about political scenario, about our representatives, and most importantly about schemes and programs and about our rights is needed. People, generally, don't know about fines of breaching traffic rules. People don't know about fee required by govt. to do a job. That is where people are fooled and as we all know the hush-rush in public offices, people think at least their work is done. Next big thing is about electoral reforms. Politicians are re-elected every time when they are found guilty in scams and bribery cases. They are elected by us, and if, we all are well aware of their miss-deeds we will let them rule upon us. So, this blog is a small initiative to aware people about corruption, anti-corruption, political scenario and other related things.
Lets make our country a better place to live.
