A
question paper of the Haryana Civil Services (Judicial Branch) examination was
up for sale. The price: one crore
rupees.
The issue raises a lot of
questions. First of all, how does a
candidate retrieve that amount assuming that he passes the exam and gets the
job? Obviously, he will have to be utterly
corrupt. Corruption is nothing new in
India and no eyebrows will be raised at the mention of it. But when people in the judiciary become so
corrupt, what justice can we expect? The
innocent will go to jail because they may not have the money to pay for justice
while the criminals will reign supreme.
This is a very serious matter.
Secondly, why should one
pay one crore rupees just for a question paper?
Remember it’s not for a job that the money will have to be paid but for
a question paper securing which need not ensure a job. If a person can afford to pay such a fabulous
sum for a question paper, does he really require that job? Why not deposit that amount in a bank and live
on the interest comfortably? The
interest will amount to about ₹65,000 per month which is a fabulous sum by
Indian standards. Just sit at home and
enjoy a rich life without doing anything.
Anything at all. Best of all,
without corrupting the judiciary, without sending innocent people to jail, without
having to pollute the Ganga further with more sins.
Thirdly, why are people
willing to pay such sums? Is it because
they just need a job somehow instead of sitting idle at home and enjoy the
comforts bought by the monthly interests?
Is it because people don’t know what to do with such free time afforded
by their wealth? Is it because there are
people who have too much black money in spite of demonetisation and other
measures such as tax reforms?
Fourthly, if the
judiciary is potentially so corrupt, what can we expect from the other
systems? Are all such examinations
compromised? Have we created a country in
which the wealthy are buying up all the jobs and positions? We know that seats in medical colleges,
engineering colleges and most other professional institutions are being sold to
the children of the affluent who may not have secured even the basic qualifying
marks. How far has this sort of
corruption corroded the systems in the country?
Is there any way we can
arrest the spread of this sort of corruption so that the meritorious and the deserving
get their rightful places and positions?
It is high time that the
government stopped focusing on cows, yoga and other such things touted as supreme
in the name of religion and culture and take serious measures to clean up the
systems.
They pay to get and then loot to pay off and loot some more to pay to get and then loot another some more to pay off thinking it is through their hard earned black money that they had to pay.
ReplyDeletePay, loot, pay loot they give all the hoots to this game.
Precisely. It's a loot-loot system. Unfortunately the development govt is doing nothing about such things. No one can forget things like Vyapam scam and many other similar scams. The govt is spending such a lot of time and resources to promote absurd things like gau mutra. Wish they paid attention to things that matter.

ReplyDeleteThe current reality in the country is very pathetic in spite of all the propaganda otherwise.
