Everyone says corruption is the root cause of all evils in the society. The question remains has anybody done anything to wipe out corruption. One waits for the occasion to grab the opportunity and after getting the benefit by hook or crook the same person starts talking of the harms done to the society by corruption. But the Government employee talking about corruption sounds funny. At best what he can say is what he has done at his level to end the menace of corruption. When you go to an engineering department you will see that the files never move unless you grease the palm. Unsurprisingly the same employee, who demands Rs 1000 for entering the file in the record book, will talk of rampantly done corruption at the ministerial level. What they do not know is they too contribute to expanding social menace. But there are still a large number of men and women who still uphold their belief that India is free from corruption. “If India is a corrupt land how could my poor father become a Government employee? I know the manner with which my father became a Government employee.” Then there are also a large number of men and women, who became Government employees teaching Hindi and other subjects after writing a letter to the top executive of the country. Then these engineers all from Manipur who are working at IT Park scattered at different parts of the country. What did they pay? Nothing. They are drawing nearly Rs one lakh in a month. Cowards who do not work hard will face uphill task in finding Government job, they observe. The dullards coerce their poor parents into believing that they are leading a vagabond life style as they are not supported by their parents in finding a Government job. The gullible poor parent all of sudden turn protagonists of their waylaid children’s theory and begin talking about corruption at different level wherever they sit. What these foolish parents do not know is that their children, who could not do well in any field, will not do well as a Government servant also. But qualified and highly educated youths do not talk about corruption. Men and women, who earn hefty income as Government servant, talk about corruption as they are not so sure of their siblings getting the job befitting the amount they had spent on their education. Education is being used not to enrich knowledge but as ambassador for oneself to become a Government employee. The present day lifestyle is very costly. One cannot afford to live peacefully unless one becomes a Government employee. Government employee appointment norms need to be amended. If that is done nobody will talk of corruption. If that is done nobody will come to offer bribe money to get Government job. That is called making both ends meet. That will abridge the gap between haves and have nots. These days Government employees are rich and unemployed poor. The unemployed men and women lead a lacklustre lifestyle with the grim future looking stark.
