Corruption-a way of life

Corruption -a way of life
Sir,
We, Indians lead the fields in many fields like population growth, pollution, road accidents, robbery, dacoity, murder, bride burning and last but not least corruption. Corruption begins at the top and percolate downward to the lowest rung in the ladder. Corruption has a cancerous growth eating the vitals of our body politic and there is hardly any area free from corruption. For all these evils, we conveniently blame the system as if the system was designed, developed and supplied by the God. Occasionally we witness some nobility in the midst of this cesspool of corruption but those who stand against corrupt deeds are hounded, harassed and humiliated. The situation has become so bad that for the honest people it has become difficult to survive in this society. They are branded as fools who are unable to amass ill-gotten wealth. In fact, corruption has become a way of life today. We boast of having achieved all-round progress in all spheres of life after Independence but the sad state of affairs is that while we have made arithmetical progression in the positive aspects of life, we have made geometrical progression in the negative aspects of life. Unless some miracle happens for a mass awakening, the country will be doomed.
