Hypocrisy

Unfortunately, the present system of statecraft whatever be the form of Government, never gives up to personal integrity to be acquired by an individual through rigorous and consistent practise of personal morality. This is the reason for the major setback that has been faced by every system of Government. Dictatorship is easily prone to corruption but democracy is not an exception. The only solace is that we will get a chance to rectify corruption in a democratic setup. But that doesn’t mean that democracy can be maintained by a system of laws enacted by the Parliament, implemented by the executive, interpreted by the judiciary and observed and commented by the media is complete. Every pillar of democracy must be strengthened by a group of individuals having personal integrity. In India, we think that impeccable integrity is the concern of the persons occupying high level executive positions in a democratic set up. Nobody is worried of the impeccable integrity of the persons in legislature, judiciary and the media. An important point to be noted is that there is no criminal law to punish a hypocrite because there is no system to understand what is in one’s mind when utters a group of words. Therefore it is the primary duty of the Government to inculcate value system in the minds of the younger generation.
