Delhi Rape Case: The actual culprit: Corruption

3rd Jan 2013:

An unfortunate incident occurred in Dec mid 2012 shacked the sentiments of  millions of people of India and brought them together on streets to Protest. Everybody is demanding Action in form of punishment of accused, creation of more and stricter laws, enhanced security and supervision. However, unfortunately, not many people are actually able to see the root cause of this and many other issues which is " CORRUPTION". Even in this issue Corruption played the sole cause. Wait...Let me explain.
1. The auto refused to go to the girl's area: As a rule, he can't deny but he did because there is no fear of violating rules and norms for him as he can get away with a small bribe.
2. The Chartered bus was plying on account of permits and registrations obtained through fraudulent documents/fudged ones
3. The Police was not vigilant at various places in the whole route: Most of the police recruitment is flooded with back door entries and there is no vigilance of their work and duty performance. Most of them cover up each other because most of them are corrupt.
4. There is no precedent of rape case where accused got severe punishment and that too speedily: Reason again the corruption as it is very easy to get dates and dates in the courts for hearing for years and years.
Most of the judges are corrupt and influenced.
5. Scarcity of Forensic Labs and the infrastructure: Reason again is corruption as most of the Government polices are decided by the corrupt bureaucrats and there is no emphasis on creating or improving the infrastructure for these kind of labs as this safeguard their own interests

There are many more. If we look closely then most of the problems/crimes in India can be prevented or minimized by eliminating the cancer of corruption. Whatever laws we may have, it will not help.
