STUDENTS AGAINST CORRUPTION

Corruption is one of the turpitudes hampering the growth of our country. Instances of corruption can be traced back to the year of India’s independence. After witnessing the reprehensible acts of the Indian National Congress (INC), people began to say that the British government was much better.

At some point or the other we have been forced to bribe the government officials to get our work done- from birth certificate to retirement, buying land to selling it, water supply to sewage, and so on. Mahatma Gandhi empowered women and urged them to fight for India’s independence. Now it is Anna Hazare who has inspired the youth to join him in his campaign to fight for India’s 2^nd independence- from corruption. The lives of future generations are in no way safe in the hands of these corrupt bureaucrats. The youth, comprising about 65% of India’s population have taken the responsibility to change the status quo.

Students have proved by rising to top managerial positions that if they can handle global companies, they can very well handle countries of the globe. It is high time they understood that politics is not ‘a dirty game’. There are only ‘dirty players’.
