Nowadays we are hearing the word “corruption” more often in TVs, newspapers etc. I feel that I need not tell what corruption is as you all know it. Corruption is considered as major hindrance in the economic development of the country and in eradication of poverty. I feel it is not as bad as it is depicted. You might be surprised by reading my opinion on it. You will know it why after you finish reading this article. One form of corruption is taking bribe to do some work. Bribe is very low in lower levels and is more in higher levels. But, the person who takes bribe doesn’t keep it stocked with him always. He has to spend it. He may spend it buy some things or build a home or commercial buildings. He may also invest that money in some business if he is higher level (more bribe). Building home or other building gives job for many people (from contractors to low level workers) so that they can earn more. Even investment in any business will create many jobs. This in turn contributes to the economic development of country. Wait, there is still more! Government creates various agencies to curb corruption such as vigilance wing, lokayukta, CBI etc. this means more people are employed. As corruption cases increase new courts have to be established which also creates employment. So, all sorts of employment will eventually lead to eradication of poverty. Some people contribute a part of their unlawful earnings to temples and other spiritual organizations. Most of these organizations contribute to the society in the form of various programs for social and economic reforms. So, after reading this, can you say corruption is totally bad?
Finally, I want to make it clear that I am not supporting corruption through this article, but I am showing the positive side of this menace.
I totally disagree wit ur view. Bcoz of corruption money does not circulate.It gets accumulated at a single point. FOr example a Bureaucrat who got huge money as bribe cannot start an organisation bcoz people wil ask him from where he got those money. So he will start accumulating the money in swiss banks n so on which is a national waste. Corruption has no positiveness..Common wake up Man
ReplyDeleteBut still at least 50% of unlawful money will be spent. Otherwise how do you think these politicians who had nothing before they came to power started companies,opened colleges,built houses(even if it is in some other's name)? I agree with you that corruption leads to concentration of money only in few hands. Here in this article I was just trying to show the small positive side of corruption which nobody has thought about till now.
