India - Cost of Corruption

As the Indians who believe that God is omnipresent and omni potent. We intend to be anti-materialistic way of life as are the believers in the theory of karma, which mandates that the sins we commit in this world, we have to take several births to atone and finally arrive at the feet of the Lord ever. The Vedas are clear, the philosophy is clear. In fact, the Vedas teach us not to borrow money, but live with what ever means at our disposal. There is a tension in the right way of life based on truth. The Vedas allows a man to borrow in difficult financial conditions as an exception, but only insofar as it provides the means to pay. At the time of death, one should not have outstanding shares according to the Vedas. So even if you have to borrow, you must pay before death so you can travel to the lower worlds. Vedas also stipulates that those who die with outstanding contributions to the other can not be freed from the bondage of earth until his immediate successors to pay their contributions with interest. In the event that the deceased has no direct heirs, successors far even then need to pay the principal amount, at least, who should share the deceased so that his spirit to travel away from the bondage of the earth. If the Hindu religion is so strict, even with the loans that a person can do, imagine what fate awaits those who earn money through illegal means to fall in corrupt practices. By the way, are punished server in the hands of God.

The money of Indian origin to the tune of a staggering $ 1.4 trillion, according to reports in the Swiss Bank lies in India's GDP in 2007 was estimated at $ 1.2 billion. This amply demonstrates that the black money held by Indians in Swiss banks only exceeds the GDP of the nation. According to some reports, the black money constitutes 18-21% of GDP and is in the range of about 200 million dollars. Is clear evidence that many of us as indigenous people deviated from the path of religion and wisdom and are more materialistic than the die hard material elsewhere.

The root cause of this situation is the exploitation of the country by businessmen, managers and leaders, because of loopholes. It is the result of transparency and lack of integrity and honesty.

This money is tax free in dishonest hands in India, which has blocked the improvement in the lives of millions of Indians. This is money that has been in the way of ensuring a decent life for the millions and millions in India. Is the main reason for not providing basic services such as affordable housing, clean water and food for most people. This tax-free money is the biggest obstacle to the emergence of the nation which has ensured decent standard of living for its citizens.

This black money has driven the political system that has an interest in creating and maintaining control over the divided sections of the community. This black money has been effectively used to build empires of politicians and businessmen and managers on the basis of the controversy.

Everyone knows that in India, corruption is a well-oiled parallel that feeds the greedy at the expense of citizens. It is for this reason that Rajiv Gandhi lamented that for every rupee a target for the development and welfare in rural areas, only 1 / 10 is the final beneficiary. The remaining 90% is pocketed by the unscrupulous among politicians, businessmen and managers.

It is a common in India to expect that those who are performing their functions as political leaders with the power of government or administrative machinery is expected that some private premium without accounting for the end users of the tasks performed. This class operator has a personal interest above the public in their hearts. If a contractor wants a government contract, has to be prepared to pay large sums involved in the process of awarding contract for him. If you have to search a home or land, must be prepared to pay a certain percentage of unofficial money to people other than the share of government established. Employers also hide most of their real income and only show that both those who want to pay taxes. Wherever there is a loophole to evade taxes or earn money through fraudulent means, the Indians are unfortunately in it. No means no honest people in the country. However, their numbers have been declining alarmingly increasing dishonest ways to earn and accumulate wealth.

India has only one enemy that must be fought with all forces. India need to wage a war to cleanse the system from the greed syndrome with tougher measures. One of the measures that act as a deterrent to making money by dishonest means is to remove the right of inheritance. At the time of the death of a person, property and all assets must return to the state and not by the people. The appeal of the transfer of ill-gotten wealth of their children to be slow with an iron fist. Only then India can solve people's problems.

This is an overhaul of the system to get rid of the greed of corrupt minds can create equitable opportunities for all bodies on the basis of merit. Until then, democracy means electing leaders who have "the accumulation of wealth" as the secret wish of the shadow said "service to the people" as its guiding principle.

India needs to rediscover its strength imbibing qualities that discourage the accumulation of wealth by unfair means. Only then India can make a difference in the crowds of citizens.

India can create a society that is fair, that gives opportunities to all based on merit and emerge stronger on the world stage in the fight against the twin demons of corruption and dishonesty.
