WE THE PEOPLE of India gave ourselves a Republican Constitution in 1950. The Constitution made provisions for public servants for our well-being. The large body of public servants has become our nemesis.These "servants" demand "service charge" for doing their duty. IF WE DO NOT PAY THEY MAKE OUR LIVES MISERABLE.
There are two types of bribes or service charges :Wholesale and Retail. 2G, Coalgate, Railgate, etc etc are astronomical whole sale BRIBES.High profile politicians, corporate tycoons, and big Babus are the architects of these.But the AAM ADMI (COMMON PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND I ) have to pay RETAIL BRIBES OR FACILITATION FEES for everything from birth certificate to death certificate. Even after death bribe is to be paid at the burial spot by the relatives. What a great country is ours ?
India Today of July 22 had an article titled BRIBE REPUBLIC. Swathi and husband Ramesh Ramanathan returned to India from Berkely, USA, with grand dreams to be shattered. A blessing in disguise for the country.They promoted Janagraha Centre for Citizenship and Democracy at Bangalore.Its website I PAID A BRIBE is a great platform for all Indians to share their experiences in STRICT PRIVACY. From its data it is revealed that urban Indians bribed "public servants" Rs 6.3 lakh crores in one year (Minimum Estimate ).Imagine the likely figure if we can get data from the rural ares.Where is our country going.It is the duty of every Indian to protest to protect our children from this disastrous menace.LET US JOIN HANDS.
