Explanation / Answer

ARTICLE

A child learning English in India by going through newspapers would come across a word being used almost daily of late "Scam" . If he were to ask his father what does this word mean it would take Dad hours to explain. Because scam has not only entered our lexicon of common usage here but has become a part of the social, political and economic culture.

              Not a day passes without some scam or the other coming out into the open. A tourist passing through India for a week would get the impression that India is a land of scams, a kind of laissez faire state where the high and mighty are out to loot the system. Everyone, it appears, has his hand in the till.

              Corruption is the most virulent when crises everywhere threaten the very existence of the society and the faith in life is shaken. It has always been there like tie leech, but when the system grows weaker and the boat flounders, it gets bolder and drains its victims of the last drops of their blood.

              The older the system the weaker it grows and fails to solve the riddles of life that grows more complex every day. So men lose faith in it and let it drift down. At this point corruption takes over and the entire society takes a plunge. After Second World War the old system with all its values was in a shambles. The crippling effects of the war, the recession and depression, and uncertainty in a faithless world of maimed and moribund encouraged cynicism in a section of the population.

              Today, when India is free, these officials representing all government departments are very close to the most corrupt businessmen who are too unscrupulous to let any opportunity of amassing profits slip. This collusion broadens the base of the vicious circle and corruption spreads 'like wild fire to engulf the entire society. The political and social guardians depend only too much on the richer communities and they look indulgently on while these communities hold the entire society and the government to ransom.

              Now the common man is looking at the investigative agencies and the judiciary which has of late shown remarkable independence in pursuing the corrupt and guilty. Past record shows that the Sukh Rams of this world managed to get away by either delaying the judicial process or ensuring that there is not much evidence against them. This time the people are hoping things will be different. Corruption starts at the top and percolates down to the whole society. Such corruption cannot be confined to the towns alone. It is as widespread in the villages where the dishonest officials and the traders carry the germs of the disease. The tyranny of confusion and price rules the land and the people are helpless victims of corruption everywhere.
