My experience with corruption ( I was the Victim)

I still remember that small incident that happened to me long before when I was doing my 10+2 from my local country college and I wanted to appear for an engineering college entrance test. First I had to file an application and it was mentioned in the bulletin of college that  our photo must be attested by some government officer. For this purpose to get my photo attested, I went to officer in Block division of my Town. I straight away asked that officer kindly attest my photo because I had to do it for acceptance of this form. I assumed he should not have any problem for this because I was not committing any forgery as the photo was mine only and I too did not have any twin brother. But here I came to know about menace that has now broken out in our modern Society like a fire in Jungle. And that we call as corruption a business that has prime concern only with bribe and that runs only in one doctrine and that is give and take.

 

That bloody officer (son of a bitch) asked for 10 rupees to me for attesting my own photo before me. I was surprised and asked to myself what the hell he was thinking about my photo. Was it some kind of bloody joke? I asked him what the fuck was wrong with my photo? He told me that there was nothing wrong with your photo and even he was agreed to attest it without my bloody presence their. He explained me that you had to shell out some bucks for this job as nothing was free in this world and everything had its cost.

 

I again came across with corruption term when we had our judgement day for a dispute over one of my property. Everything was in our favor and We tried our best to prove that the land belongs to us. We had also sufficient evidence to support our claim. The Judge was agreed to this point and we thought that He was more or less convinced with our stand and We had been almost convinced not by our lawyer only but by all other things that might had some connection with our case that we were going to win this case against the opposition party. But the only difference between our family and that to opposite party was money. He had enough of it and we had less of it. Even then we believed that the justice would prevailed. But here again corruption played a role that changed our lives drastically. opposition party flexed it's money muscles and had offered somewhere around  3 lakhs sum of rupees to turn the decision. Mr Judge had accepted his proposal and strangulate the goddess of Justice. We lost our battle and also lost our land. We had nothing to say at that time and the hammer of corruption had broken into pieces our belief in justice.

 

From that onwards I realized that there was nothing that money can not do. The money power can change everything and If you have the money muscles then you could rule over anybody. You are the master of the world and that is what USA is doing. If I would epitomize my overall experience then I would say I'm very much depressed with the practice of bribe and their is no hope left for poor people who does not have anything but to trust on moral presentation of our Society and that is nothing else but pure illusion.
