Vertical axis-Energy: shown on vertical axis is the aggregation of negative energies that widen the gap between the ideal conditions and the real conditions in the system. This energy acts as the hindrance or obstacle to the policy makers.
Horizontal axis-Time: shown on horizontal axis is the advancement civilization.
Area: The shaded area in the above figure represents the corruption.
Energy × Time = watt hour which is nothing but energy consumed in terms of units that we normally pay our electricity bills. In similar lines it is unit of imbalance in the society that is corruption.
My conception of corruption:
Since time immemorial the mind and society are in concurrence, developing certain systems that has lead to the growth of civilisation. What we see around us is just one aspect of civilisation that is the material culture but there is also non-material culture which i think is a linchpin that is pivotal in balancing the wheels of progress or development of any society.The values, customs and norms as a part of non-material culture which in turn a part of civilisation that determine the direction in which a society is heading towards.As long as there is evil present in the mind and society the real progress can not be achieved.Corruption is one such an evil which is present both in mind and society,in mind as a intrinsic thing (since human is a biological entity and can not escape from some limitations.) And in society as an institution which is again a making of mind.What i want to convey is no matter what efforts we put we can not eliminate corruption out of system if we can do the society has proven to be reached to the stage of utopia.It doesn't mean that we can not do any thing. certainly we can do, we can do in a constructive way. Now let me explain this through the graph shown above.
The area under the graph is representing the corruption.Why i have shown corruption under the quantum area because corruption is not a event that can be plotted certainly it can not be shown on the negatively it is consequence of so many things hence it is shown as an area. The shaded area represents the corruption resulting out of structural and functional defects in the system.We can reduce the area in two ways.
1. If we could interpolate the negatively sloping line where it starts on the vertical axis then we are partly successful in in bringing down the corruption.
2.by moving back on to the horizontal axis. This means moving back in to the history and civilisation which can not be done.( this axis represents time)
The option one can be done by framing stringent laws against corruption but still we can not eliminate it if we observe the graph the residual defects in the form of mind and society are always present in the society. So what need to be done. The civil society and N.G.Os should involve in reforming and educating the society the only way we can reduce that residual gap.The civil society has no responsibility of governance and its function should limit as an advisory body rather than a dictating body.The government should take the valuable suggestions of the civil society and laws should be framed to counter the corruption.In this regard government is doing its job but the civil society is dictating the terms and making the mockery of Indian democracy. I want to put a question to the civil society. Can lokpal will wipe out corruption out of the country? Why they were so much after one law leaving behind so many factors that need to address to control corruption.
We have abolished SATI through sati prohibition act 1829. Are we able to eliminate the modern sati, the burning of young brides for dowry.182 years have passed since the law has been passed but we could not eliminate the evil in our minds.
