Corruption is a reality in Indian public life. It is an extremely dangerous cancer that spreads quickly across all social strata and is capable of paralyzing every organ, if not every social cell. Unless we destroy corruption in high places, root out every trace of nepotism, love of power, profiteering and black marketing, which have spoiled the good name of the country in the recent times, we will not be able to raise the standard of efficiency in administration, as well as production and distribution of necessary goods of life. The existing anti-corruption laws and their enforcement have had positive impacts on many honest civil servants and among general public of the higher class. But among the middle class or the deprived class, these laws have hardly made any impact and they are on the verge of losing hope. So it’s high time the educated, knowledgeable and privileged class pulls up their socks and act to restore the mass’s faith in our legal system.
