Its easy to generalise and then blame whole system.

the only difference between you and those naxalites is they are "armed", you are not.

Go for IAS, join excise department. Atleast, we will have one less corrupt officer and I hope you will not change after joining the job.

Don't whine here. Do something.

Yes. We all know the problem, but not the solution. Be part of the solution and not the problem. Do you even vote? If not, you have no reason to whine.

Good. Just say "I am angry." and take a black flag and sit on stone for years. And things will ever change.

You should vote and select "lesser evil" of the two if you think both are bad.

Use your head, be smart, do something, but for god's sake don't come to this website and start whining and spread negative thoughts in society.

Thank you.

It is very easy to generalise and pass on the blame to bureaucracy.
I do not believe in such generalisations.
All government employees can not be corrupt.
There are some incorruptible persons everywhere, among the politicians among the government employees everyehere.
Two things are to be blamed one is system another is attitude.
Consumerism has spread like a virus.
All are running after electronic items, house hold gadgets, a/c, freedge, cars, posh apartments, club membership, etc.
A gap is created between the demand and supply.
You can not increase the supply of money easily unless you resort to unfair means.
A simple life style should be encouraged.
Thuere should be compulsory teaching of moral sciences and values in all syllabus of study.
There should be stringent measures of punishment for corrupt practices as well.
However difficult it may sound this has to be done for us and future generation.

What makes you think that "consumerism" or "buying a freeze or car" is evil and kills morality in the person?

Do you think if you bought a charkha and started your simple living on it, it will make you moral?

Consumerism is not bad. Atleast government gets sales tax from people who don't even feel income tax. Atleast, part of their "hard-earned" black money goes into building highways and modernising airports.

It is a question of feelings.
Read between the lines.
People cheating others or commiting suicide to avoid creditors, credit card loans have multiplied manyfold.
