Why Lokpal Bill Won’t Work – Its all about Sir Ji, Chai Pani le lo na..

“Whole Indian Society is Corrupt, but Not Only Govt.” let me tell you why..

Do you think just by passing an anti-corruption law will fix the corruption in the Indian society overnight ? Do you think politicians, judiciary and Govt officers are only causing corruption in India ? And by just putting them under the scanner of the Lokpal bill will make them honest ?

What will happen to the corruption in Indian media, large corporations and NGOs ? Who is going to look after them ? This law is going to create more bureaucracy in India than freedom.

Indian society is based on the social corruption and here are few examples.

• Indians put the Katia [unofficial hook-ups] on the electricity polls and want to get free electricity. Later at the power cut they say, “Sala Electricity Department is corrupt.” Common Indians are stealing more than 5 Billion Dollars of electricity each year.

• Indians watch Pirated Movie DVDs and download millions of songs from illegal websites for free. This costs India billions of dollar every year. India is also well known for making illegal Pre-DVDs for Hollywood and Bollywood Movies.

• Young Indians ride a bike without license and when police constable catches them, they ask, “Sir ji, chai pani le lo na..”. Later they say, “Sala Police Man is Corrupt”.

• Indians buy a general class train ticket and travel in the sleeper class. And when TT catches them, instead of paying fine, they pay them bribe. Later they say, “Sala TT was corrupt.”

• Indians drive their cars on domestic gas cylinders and run water heaters on domestic gas cylinders but do not pay for commercial LPG gas. All Mithai Wallas [Sweet Makers] in India use domestic LPG cylinders and then they say  ”Gas Wala is selling cylinders in Black.”

• Indians buy house of 50 lakhs and show the price of house 25 lakhs at the Govt Registry Office to save Stamps charges. Then they pay the registrar or officers a bribe for easy registration because Govt valuation of the property is more. Later they say, “Sala every one is corrupt in registry office”.

• Indians want to travel abroad would like to have their passport with in days, ahead of the queue. Then they bribe the passport verification officer to go ahead of the line and file the verification report early. Later they say, “Sala verification officer was corrupt.”

• Indians went to Ration Card Registration (without Identification documents) and pay bribe to get the Ration Card done. Later they say, “Sala Govt officer was corrupt.”

• In India to get Govt job, generally candidate needs a medical certificate from Govt Hospital. Indians do not want to go for the full examination, because if anything negative comes from the report then they might lose the Govt job. So they pay for it and get the fake medical report. Later they say, “Sala medical officer is corrupt in Govt hospitals”.

• Indians build the unauthorized constructions in front of their houses or shops, like a garden, or small pavement, or a generator room, or build extra 10 inch of the wall on Govt road, or a full room, or a house, or sometime full colonies. But when the Developmental Authorities comes, we Indians bribe them.  Later they say, “Developmental Authorities are corrupt”.

• In Delhi, If you want admission of your kid in a good primary school, then, either you pay hefty donation or look for a person who have contacts with in the school. Later they say, “School administration is corrupt”. Why don’t they go and get admission in Govt school? [I studied in Govt school, they are not bad]

• Indians got married but do not go for the registration at the registrar office. When sometime later in the life they need marriage certificate they had to bribe to get the marriage certificate without having prior marriage registration.

• Indian don’t want to take the full driving test and would like to receive their Driving License at home without doing anything.

I can go ahead and note down more points for widespread corruption in Indian society, but we all know this.

Lokpal may take control over the politicians, Govt and judiciary. But It can not fix the Indian society.

This fasting movement in Delhi is giving too much importance to the Individuals, Politicians and the Bill, but no one is thinking about fixing the problem of the society.
