Against Corruption in India

I hope you guys know about Sting operations in India, where Members of Parliaments etc are exposed taking bribes. In one of the biggest sting operations recently, about a dozen Member of Parliaments were caught on camera taking bribes in a sting operations. Ofcourse they were suspended, but that doesn't mean that others wouldn't have taken bribes. It's just that these MPs were a little unlucky.

Corruption exists in India at all levels and in all departments, whether you want to get a huge contract or just a birth certificate (whether to speed the process, or just to get a fake one). Although I haven't read news lately about this stuff lately, but I know it exists in India. You just get to hear it everyday, and the worst part is people are OK with it :(

So, all who know about Rang De Basanti, you know how DJ, Karan and others dealt with the problem of corrupt politicians etc. Just like people remember God when something bad happens, like they say "Jesus" (Christians) or "Om Namah Shivai" or something like that (for Hindus), I remembered about Rang De Basanti when talking about corruption in India after reading about the Government introducing the "Anti-Sting Operations" law and said to myself "Rang De Basanti" instead of my normal words "Kya Hoga India kya" (What will happen to India) or "Yahin to dhokha kha gaya India" (That's just where India failed). So, whenever you think of corruption, think of Rang De Basanti... I am not telling you to do what DJ and group did, but just to realize that we can change it all. The RDB effect can be seen - From Protests about Jessica Lall murder case trial to Reservation Quotas proposed by the Government.

Remember the quote by Ajay Rathode (R. Madhvan) - "Koi bhi desh perfect nahin hota, use perfect banana padta hai" (No nation is perfect, it has to be made perfect) and "We will join Politics, IAS, police... We will make this nation better". Just think of the message that Rang De Basanti delivered... It's just something not a lot of people had realized until watching this movie... I hadn't realized this either, but now I think I can make a difference. Just thinking of Rang De Basanti when thinking of corruption, made me feel like that one day the world will be a better place to live, with very low corruption (No corruption at all is just to idealistic - Can't happen) Ofcourse going out and executing ministers would not be a legal way to do it, but we can follow law and order and still make a difference. The problem : It requires a lot of people - much more than just a few thousands. Younger generation in cities have already joined hands to oppose anything that is unlawful or undemocratic, but we can only be successful if everyone can support this, just like Indian Independence wars... Afterall, we are now just a country being ruled by some filthy and corrupt politicians. Pre-independence era was similar, with the only difference being that we didn't elect them.
