The Corrupt: Neither sense of shame nor the moral fibre to cloth their physical frame

In the wake of the spill over effects of both global financial crisis and ongoing European Sovereign Debt Crisis, the growth profile of even strong emerging economies like China and India has undergone a transformation and in the near future, they cannot step into double digit growth rate.

Lack of democracy has been strength to China in so far as stifling the voice of dissent and there is no immediate threat to leadership .In sharp contrast, India is facing a real leadership crisis. The regime of  UPA led by Dr.Mannmohan Singh as a proxy prime minister in the second innings is one of the classic case of non performance on the economic front.The corruption has peaked to an all time high and  no longer the scholar P.M can talk like a parrot I don’t know .

One of the fundamental reasons for the rampant inflation and slow growth rate in our country is the lack of governance and absence of ethical and moral standards. Indeed it is an irony of fate that the ruling party is not at all bothered about its image being molested  by a series of corruption scandals . They have no  sense of shame , no moral fiber to cloth their physical frame .The honest elite can only lament through blog like this and they are helpless . Following is just a simple silent soliloquy on the need for good governance so as to give some semblance of stability and support to the masses who are completely dispossessed of their basic necessities.

Ethical and moral standards can be maintained only if the leaders of the Government provide a personal example of dedication to public service .A perpetual deviation from standards of good code of conduct and behavior on the part of many leaders including the captains of corporate and academic sectors is the root cause for the deprivation of many at the bottom line.

When ethical standards falter at  top  level, one cannot expect the typical ordinary government employee having all vulnerabilities and   capacities  to yield to  temptation of money,  develop any kind of sensitivity and concern towards the poor, unless of course he  has had evolved a code of conduct to behave in a more balanced  and moral way since his cradle days.

Not only Government employee uses  his position to curry favor  or induce another individual to provide him with anything of economic value but also engages himself in outside employment.Under the circumstances the confidence of the public in the integrity and dedication of Government becomes suspect.

No legal system or web of statute however intricately conceived can hope to deal with the myriad problems confronting our political system for both men of eminence in their respective fields of ‘politics’ and ‘crime’ became natural   and normal partners – a kind of collusive oligopoly .Like price rigidity of oligopolsitic market, a state of rigidity and status quo prevail with regard to the acts of criminality committed in the past.
