corruption AND casteism in bihar
this is the perhaps most critical problem faced by the state preventing it to develop its socio-economic aspects inspite of having a great pool of talent. obvoiusly, "all is not well" even after lalu's resign & in the so called "susasan" of nitish government.. the way of exploitation has just change... previously,it were illiterate ministers now the bureaucracy and other officials... the what astonishes me very much the very mentality of people of my state only..(i.e bihar) they are so much comfortable in this corrupt atmosphere that they dont hv any complaints.. regarding this. giving bribe to any official to get the work done is not considered as illegal or immoral.. rather it is smartness to get the work done fast..i still remember an instace one year back wen me along with my father went to the police station of my home district(siwan) for filing a f.i.r in a case.. as expected the inspector was reluctant to file it and ended up saying" kanoon(law) ke hisab se chala jaye to kuch v nai ho sakta hai,usse hat ke kam karna parega"... that means.. indirect demand of bribe for doing that "hatke" work.. finally it was not regisreted... morever, inspector was more interested in the "jati"(caste) of the culprit rather his crime as he was expecting a call from the local M.L.C who was of the same caste of the culprit consequently, the "natural justice has to take the back seat"... TO BE CONTINUED LATER..
