First of all, please accept my sincere apologies for not being able to type in Hindi on my computer. So, the title is not new for anybody reading this blog, since its a movement these days everyone is joining; everywhere (social networking sites: Especially Facebook and Twitter) I can see at least one feed/hour about this particular topic. Question that came to my mind few days ago was Are we really against corruption? Are we ready to survive in a clean India without corruption? Both the answers that occurred to me were NO...and I thought why? No offense to any religious groups and feelings behind; but in order to uproot corruption, we first need to check on all the temples, mosques, gurudwaras and churches for how much they've been accumulating over years together since they were formed.
What does GOD do of all that money, Jewelry and etc. and where does this money come from? Answer is God is accepting bribe (really?).
Corruption is deeply rooted inside all of us for generations, a rare thing, I haven't observed here in United States as of yet. "God!! please if I get ....% marks, I would offer******* amount...." almost every student can be seen praying and BRIBING god like this over results season; "God! please grant me a grandson, I would offer you 56 bhogs in silver thali" and witnessed by me, this grand ma did keep her promise.....; "Get me out of this situation, I would offer a prasad of INR 5.25"..... and so on........we have dealings with God as if God really wants to have all this and wouldn't grant you what you deserve if you don't strike a deal!! Again, I am not pointing religious issues here, I am pointing out mentality we have grown over so many years. And walking along these roads, huge religious places have gathered tons of money with no taxes to be paid (many of the cases). Most of the places, this money is fathering dust in vaults of temples. Unfortunately, even thieves are scared of stealing God's money.... A rich person in India can offer a diamond crown to God's idol but would refrain spending equivalent amount over education and help of poor and unprivileged children. When Americans or Europeans come to India, they build educational institutes, or channelize money towards education, when we Indians go to America, Europe, we channelize our money towards temples. We think that if God accepts money for favors, than nothing is wrong in doing same thing, and this is how corruption is deeply rooted inside us. So, our religious ethics are corrupted and to add to this, we have transactional religions united in diversified India.....
Going back in ancient and over-glorified history of our Kalayuga, we can read about how bribing was sufficient to see off armies of different kingdoms and fighting was hardly essential to win the battles.
We still do not believe in theory that if each of us behaves morally, we can all rise together. And, we can not behave equally moral because we are not equal, we have a caste system which separates us from other people and hence everyone's ethics differ. More than1000 years ago we all Indians were belonging to same faith, now we are either Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, or what not!! We need to believe in equality, first by ourselves and then by society in order to behave morally. And we shouldn't forget, there is just one moral, to follow the best policy of"honesty". If we are honest to ourselves, we would never have to bribe anyone, including God and we can rise much higher along the lines of education, civilization and thus enrich ourselves more to prevent our lasting heritage and culture.
On 65th year of independence,this blog is dedicated to incredible India, which has to prove credentials once again to the world, not to become a super power, but to be a peace loving and enriched nation by all means.
