Democratic, Socialist, Secular Corruption System!

It is not so easy to recognize and accept the Reality that for 60 years the politicians in India prospered under a democratic, socialist, secular (for shorter period) republic based on a foundation of State-designed Corruption mechanism, that as a result corruption has become so secular, so democratic and so socialistic that almost 90% of the people have become corrupt or have accepted corruption as a way of national life. People do not mind corruption generated favoritism, nepotism, bribery of up to a few lacks of rupees and black wealth of a few hundred cores. When reports come about very high value corruption of 100 cores or more, people start thinking that this might be bad and jealousy over the riches of a few such big corruption beneficiaries leads to outrages demanding effective Jan Lokpal legislation and black wealth recovery by the State. A political economic system that encouraged black money / wealth generation in the country is difficult to change: it is the beyond the capacity of political parties even if their leaders wished to: rather the current political parties will be starved to death if corruption is rooted out and therefore they will never readily kill corruption: they can at best try to show that they are trying to curb black money through various measures (that would ultimately prove to be ineffective – at least that has been the history so far. And, yet people continue to believe in the political parties as gods and saviors.
