Can Corruption be eradicated in India?

-DR. ABDUL RUFF

As one of chief consequences of capitalism, rampant corruption is now a global phenomenon affecting the health of nation building in many a nation, especially the terrocracies or the so-called democracies.  India is a seriously afectedd by this ruthless phenomenon and a crude case in point.

The prime motive of Indian leaders and supporters of freedom struggle upon forming a government in New Delhi seems to have been motivated by the corporate urge, as the custodians of a newly freed India nation, for the promotion of rampant corruption as the dominant aspiration of power hungry sections. This indirect policy of India has now resulted in a complete corrupt nation in all domains, not even excluding police, military, judiciary and intelligence teams.  A corrupt political class and its supportive bureaucracy has so far either ignored corruption at national level or just tolerated it to sustain its own illegal and immoral pursuits of wealth.  

For decades, India, rather mother India, has shielded all nefarious, corrupt procedures and processes, in which the spoiled children thrived, officially or otherwise; and mother India skillfully employed dependable gimmicks like Pakistan, Muslims and terrorism and cricketism to let the children enjoy the "fruits" of freedom in a "democratic" way. USA promoted global corruption and Manmohan Singh, protector of corporate  sector by policies and discretionary powers bestowed upon him above the constitution,  cannot but take note of US ambitions and urges of Indian rich and industrialists that finance polls and fund the parties. 

As such it is now beyond the reach of the regime to even control the corruption process through parliamentary democracy- let alone eradicate it completely.  Is there any leader in India who can claim too be decent by being above corruption or crimes?

In the name of secrecy on issues like foreign policy and security, the deceptive Indian leadership secretly promotes corruption by indulging in select briberies. Not even the the Parliament that claims to be the supreme has any right or control over official briberies, shared ably by many bureaucrats and politicians both  inside India and abroad. In arms deals, or Kashmir issue, for instance, huge bribes India offers  lobbyists and other agents!

Who will take action on this prevailing evil?
