We are all part of system irrespective of whether we like it or not. But when the system becomes corrupt and we learn to accept it to be a part of us without any resentment it signals dangerous path the society is treading into. The indifference we are showing is really a matter of concern.

As humans we are gullible to yield in to temptation. When a Rs.50 bribe may seem to be a better way off than a Rs.500 fine or paying a Rs.1000 note is cheaper than setting up a fire fighting system, or a few lakhs and crore of bribe can cut down competition and help us win a contract, we are tempted to make or save that extra quick buck. We are not worried about the consequences this action brings on the society we live in. 

If one has to get a government job after paying of lakhs as bribe from where will they make the money they paid and what happens to the deserving candidate who should have got their in the first place? If one has to get a contract to build roads after paying couple of lakhs or crores as bribe, what kind of roads will be built for us, it is there for us to be seen.

How many of us even believe it is possible to get a job done in the public department or win a government contract without paying bribe. The word politics has been associated with rogue elements and more than 30% of our elected representatives have been charge sheeted for criminal activities. Power has led to corruption and corrupt have power, this viscious cycle needs to be breaken. Today honesty in public life is a paradox. Over a period of time we have entered into a conclusion that corruption cant be do away with but we are also welcoming it to be a part of the system.

The Janlokapl movement by Anna Hazzare is a significant one as it shook the conscience of few people even if it lasted for less than a fortnight. It sent shivers into the leaders who had taken the people who elect them for granted. It has signalled a warning bell to the politicans about the dangers of the path they are treading on. It also have given hope to  honest politicians that they do stand a chance to be heard.

Few wise men have questioned the wisdom of common man to challenge the system of constitution but the bigger question they need to ask is why are people fed up with the current system. Why has this monster been allowed to grow unchecked? Let us not have a mirage that our constitution set up is the perfect.

Our democracy and constitution is just sixty years old, it is nothing compared to the legacy of our civilization. Democracy is new to us, there is lot of scope for improvement in the way we conduct it. The Janlokpal movement is just a way to breath that fresh thought into the system to ensure the purpose of democracy is put back in track. 

Things will not change overnight, it needs sustained efforts to ensure those dreams are realized. Sometime in future looking back this might the quit india movement or the sepoy mutiny that sowed seeds for corruption free India.
