Against corruption!

I wish people can understand that the only way to stop corruption is to stop being corrupt themselves.........something that they will never do........we feed the snake and then cry when it bites.........all I know is that we cannot clap with just a single hand……corruption is there, because we support it for our own selfish needs
If one really wants to stop this evil, then one needs to change oneself…….it is very easy to attend protest marches, shout slogans, blame the system, but it is very difficult to change ourselves, very difficult to speak the truth specially when the truth is against us
If one really wants to fight corruption, then one should:
Stop cheating in exams or appearing in them when one’s attendance is less than seventy percent or get proxy attendance marked
Stop giving donations for securing admission in educational institutions
Stop spitting in public places, stop throwing garbage on roads
Stop giving money to the traffic constable when stopped for speeding, jumping signals, tripling on bikes, not wearing helmets/seatbelts, drunken driving, parking at a no parking zone or violating any other traffic rule
Stop giving money to the police officer at the time of enquiry for getting passport
Stop breaking rules
Public smoking is an offence, stop doing it
Stop female infanticide/feticide and getting sex determination test done (again an unlawful act)
Stop giving money to the clerks for getting our work done at college/university/different offices (work like getting documents, mark sheets, things that we have a legal claim to)
Stop a fight at some public place
Stop and actually attend to some accident victim
Stop and help some hungry/needy person
Stop taking and/or offering dowry
Stop giving false information so as to suit our interests
Stop discrimination on the basis of sex, caste, class, religion, region, race, place of birth
Stop being lazy at work and start meeting deadlines
Stop playing games on internet during work hours in office
Stop claiming funds/ scholarships that are undeserved, by giving false information
Stop getting assured work done in courts
Stop taking commissions from companies for endorsing their product/services, if the same are substandard
Stop misusing official powers
Stop being a mute spectator when somebody’s rights are being infringed, somebody is being physically, emotionally, psychologically abused
Stop child labor and child abuse
Stop environmental damage, cruelty to animals, felling of trees, pollution
Stop the violation of rights of women, children, old people, minorities, refugees, indigenous people, and other vulnerable groups
Stop injustice
And the list goes on………..




This is just the tip of the iceberg and one needs to stop and think on what is right and what is wrong and then take a conscientious decision………. And stop neglecting one’s duty as a responsible human being…….
