Very recently the Indian Democracy saw one of the most coveted and fierce battle between the Government and the people wherein the victory went to the people and the battle was fought without taking the law into the hand. In simpler words it was again Ahimsa that reigned supreme and the results brought huge uproar into the lives of the people and generations to come for Indian Republic. Well yes I am talking about Mr. Anna Hazare, 71 yr old man fighting not for his own self interest but for the masses and the generations to follow. If everything goes according to the plan of Mr. Hazare then corruption will take a back seat and again we will have a society wherein truth and justice will prevail.
But amidst all the hue and cry and celebrating the victory one thing that we are forgetting is the reason why this movement took place? Corruption is there, and it is everywhere but have you ever given a thought from where does it all start? Well it is none other than us who help in corrupting our own society and when we find another person using the same measures that we took, we can't stand that person and then all the problems start and we sit for hunger strike to divert the Governments attention towards us.
Right from standing in a queue in a Temple where there are thousands of other devotees too waiting to get a glimpse of the Almighty and take their blessings to the long queue to get forms for a competitive examination from any government organization we try to make our way through and get the first hand of everything. And how do we achieve that? Well your guess is as good as mine, the easiest way, through corruption, and in that process we only blame the officials who are taking the bribe and people are least concerned that the fault also lies with the person who are bribing. Traffic policeman catches any person breaking traffic rules, first thing that comes to mind is pay the police some amount and get away from all the pains.Filling IT returns where in for saving taxes people provide all sorts of fake bills, then where does the conscience of the person go, but yes if somebody is sitting for a hunger strike to fight against corruption we will be the first person to join him or her and shout at the top of our voice shouting anti government slogans.
Nothing can change this society until and unless we are clean, until and unless we stop corrupting other people, until and unless we stop blaming others and take responsibilities for making a better environment to live, and if we don't change ourselves no such movement will bear fruitful results, and then again few years down the line we will have to go for another movement bending the rules that we earlier made to suit our interests.....
