Corruption- The Biggest Evil in our Society

Corruption is one of the deadly, undesirable and wicked sins that

has been imposed on the innocent man by some hungry looking
monsters. It is omnipresent, almost like a distorted, antithetical
version of God for the present times. It doesnt sound euphonious
when we hear that it has not only led to the malfunctioning of the
administrative system and poor law and order, but also some
serious causes like poverty and redtapism, which has led to the
societys disability. It has distorted all values and made mincemeat
of morality, truth and virtue. It has entered into every single aspect
of our lives becoming all-pervasive just similar to the air we breathe.
It is growing massively in huge proportions and there is barely any
sphere of social, political, economic and even religious activity that
is free from graft, fraud and corruption of some kind. It is now
regarded as a fact of life and an evil which is inseparable with which
we have to live with throughout.
It happens as much as in the daylight, as it is done behind the
closed doors. It is under every stone we turn and every door we
open. Thus, it is this corruption that can be considered as a deadly
sin in our society and it is a shame that we are being evasive and
denying this fact by considering it as a habit and a part of our lives.
Human beings are full of temptations. After all human beings are
human beings. And in fact, gold and cash acts as a bait to these
politicians and officials who are fond of bribe in any way. They just
need something to avoid the itching on their hands. But the stink
lies not only in the prevalence of the lure of gold, but in the
hypocrisy that accompanies it.
Its really disheartening when a corrupt person after taking a bribe,
talks about the high moral standards and urges people to follow the
principles and ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi, and remain honest,
true and just in whatever they do. Such hypocrisy complexes the
offence, but the ministers, politicians and officials are getting callous
and do not pay any heed. They have a belief that it is all a way of
life and a part of their routine and describe it as unavoidable and an
incurable disease.
Sadly, just like one of the evil characters like Raavan in the human
mythology Ramayana, there are plenty of greed addicts that are
prevalent in the society which are pushing humanity into a medieval
sort of decadence. Everyone now a days, from government officials
to the judiciary people to the private corporate gurus, all are
thirsting for personal profits.
The energetic youth today can be one source that can actually
uproot the very weed of corruption. It can act like a vanarsena and

attack with full force the authorities which play the major culprit
feeding this malady. Positive reforms should be brought out, so that
we not only dream but also work together actively hand in hand
towards developing a nation that is free from the evil called
CORRUPTION.
