Neera Yadav -- A measure of our corruption

Neera Yadav -- A measure of our corruption
Neera Yadav got a four-year term in jail. She was the measure as to how low bureaucracy can stoop to. She was former UP chief sec. She once appeared on the front page of some tremendously popular weekly (India Today ??? -- cant remember.) All decked in resplendent saree and ornaments. The magazine reported her to be "The Queen, The king maker, one who could advise the then chief minister Mulayam, and probably worth Rs 4000 crores. She donned even this description as a golden feather in her cap.
No one dares ask this foolish question in this country -- " from where does the money come from?" People are not afraid that others will laugh at their ignorance. They are genuinely concerned that they might be eliminated.
Any guess where is this money stacked? I mean apart from swiss banks? It is stacked in India -- yes, in our own motherland (how patriotic !) Most of the big officers lend this money to various groups who promise them to give fabulous interest rates -- easily double the rates of the banks. In turn these big people give them protection. Every person threatening the janta for protection money is taking the protection from power-men and in turn increasing their money.by taking deposits. And where do these deposits go ? Very learned sources say that a major part goes to spread terrorism.
So today if there is a blast in Varanasi at Sheetala Ghat injuring so many and killing ((till the news came)) a child, then the money has come from such deposits of the ill-gotten money by the ill-getting people.
Let us remember the Nature's Law. A. crime must be punished. No crime can ever go without punishment. That is the Nature's Law. But we have only one choice. Who should get the punishment? If the guilty does not get the punishment then surely an innocent will get it. Are you innocent? Then beware! For you never know for whose crime you will be punished and when and how! As long as YOU and I don't demand that guilty and criminal must be punished, YOU and I are telling the criminals "OK, we are ready to be punished for you."
Tell me now, how many of us are willing to be punished for the criminals? Either that or be prepared to demand that the guilty should be punished.
We have a long list of guilty waiting to be declared so and be punished. Tell me, how many of us believe that Nature will wait as long as we say,-- "Wait, Nature, we have yet to pronounce them guilty!"Those who believe this alone will delay the punishing of guilty. And in the process put all innocent including themselves to the danger. (Of cource, they have a choice -- they need not remain innocent, but join the gangsters)
We have a long list of guilty waiting to be declared so and be punished. Begining with Ajmal Kasab, a foreigner-- an intruder, whose human (?) rights we are protecting to show off to the world (which incidently is laughing at us that we don't even know how to identify an enemy and a danger). We have Afzal Guru, we have the whole gangs in 2-G spectrum and CWG, We had BCCI scam, the Kochhi team scam, the FCI godown scam, the Lawasa scam the Adarsha scam, the karnatak scam the banking loan scam. Remeber all this money will be used to get ourselves killed -- whether it is in Swiss banks -- from there also it goes to fund terrorism) or here in this country. Make your choice -- either swift punishment to those who are scamsters or an eventual punishment to us and our next generation ! And also remeber, the more the delay the more cruel it will be, for The Nature also knows how to punish for delays -- even if we may not be knowing.
Every ill-gootton rupee must bring a curse either on the wrong-doer himself or the innocent. Hence the first Shloka of our first Upanishad -- the Ishavasya says --मा गृधः कस्यस्विद्धनम् । Take only what you have earned. That is the only truth-- your labour and effort, are the only truth. They will create an equivalent money and you take only that and not a pai of other''s--मा गृधः कस्यस्विद्धनम् ।
Today it is Neera Yadav going behind bars. Let others follow sooner and not later.
There are also BIG crooks in industry, political life, and other areas. They too should and will go this way. The efforts of small people in keeping alive the flame against corruption will win. Ham honge Kamyab ek din.
