Hierarchy Of Corruption

By Avinash Murkute
Mar. 10, 2007

Recent arrests in India of secretary level government official, high profile police officer and one Air Force official speak deep rooted corruption in Indian society. CBI may drop few corruption allegations as petty corruption issues but acceptance of bribe of INR 50 from a 75 year old man for telephone is also corruption. Answer to the big question, why senior officials do not entertain corruption complaints is Hierarchy of Corruption.

Corruption can be classified in so many ways. Individual corruption and organizational corruption is one way to classify the corruption. Organization corruption is dangerous, alarming and increasing. Mostly senior officials accept bribe through their close associate or subordinates. Few seniors are dare devil enough to accept of their own. Few juniors ask in the name of seniors. And at places there is link and chain in corruption pyramid. I have seen one person maintaining percentage wise chart for bribe amounts received or to be collected during particular month. Those who refuse to be part of this corruption cartel are either sidelined or transferred. This Hierarchy of Corruption needs to be demolished.

Although few surveys claim that India's position has bettered in transparency, on the contrary corruption has increased by many folds. Recent remark by Supreme Court judge that corrupt should be hanged is not at all surprise as ex-Governor of Maharashtra has publicly uttered the same thing. Ink on paper fades and depth of statements dither and corruption increases.

In order to tackle the monster of corruption society GenNext should support individuals who fight corruption and dump those bigwigs who support corruption. Agencies and verdicts will play their role but if we at all wish to tackle corruption our generation should take corrupt head on. Well admission time is coming and who is taking admission where and who is sponsoring whose education fees can be good exercise to raise voice against corruption.
