Wish there were more Ratan Tatas in our country!

देश के प्रतिष्ठित टाटा समूह के प्रमुख रतन टाटा द्वारा किए गए खुलासे से पता चलता है कि सिर्फ कांग्रेस पार्टी ही नहीं, बाकी पार्टियां भी इस महारोग से अछूती नहीं हैं। कई वर्ष पूर्व टाटा समूह देश में सिंगापुर एयरलाइंस के साथ एक हवाई सेवा शुरू करने वाला था।

जैसा कि सरकारी कामों में होता है, कई माह तक इसकी फाइलें इधर-उधर घूमती रहीं और समूह को संबंधित लायसेंस अंतत: नहीं मिल सका। स्वयं रतन टाटा के मुताबिक तीन-तीन प्रधानमंत्रियों से मिलने के बाद भी उनका काम नहीं बन पाया था।

यह इसलिए भी दुखद है कि जब रतन टाटा समूह के साथ ऐसा हुआ है तो देश में अन्य उद्योग समूहों की क्या हालत होगी? रतन टाटा ने भी इतने वर्षो बाद इस बात का अचानक खुलासा क्यों किया, यह समझ से परे है।

जिस समय पूरा देश ‘आदर्श’ घोटाला, स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाला, कॉमनवेल्थ घोटाला आदि से शर्मसार हो रहा है, उस समय इस पुराने मुद्दे का उठना भ्रष्टाचार के नित नए ‘कीर्तिमानों’ में एक और कीर्तिमान जरूर जोड़ता है।

टाटा एक अत्यंत सफल और नैतिकता के आधार पर व्यवसाय करने वाला समूह है। टाटा घराने की इज्जत बाकी घरानों से इसी कारण ज्यादा है। यही कारण था टाटा ने मंत्री को रिश्वत देने के बजाय अपनी वायुसेवा को स्थगित रखना ज्यादा बेहतर समझा। अपनी चैन की नींद के बदले वे देश को एक वायुसेवा दे सकते थे। इस समूह के लिए 15 करोड़ की राशि कोई बड़ी रकम नहीं थी परंतु टाटा ने बाकी उद्योगपतियों से अलग हटकर सोचा और निर्णय लिया।

राजनेताओं-अफसरों का भ्रष्टाचार इसलिए भी बढ़ रहा है, क्योंकि मांगने वाला तो सुधर नहीं रहा, देने वाला भी देने से इंकार नहीं कर पाता है। उसकी अपनी कमियां या मजबूरियां हैं जो टाटा की शायद नहीं थीं। अगर हमारे देश में रतन टाटा जैसे लोग (उद्योगपति) और अधिक संख्या में होते, जो राजनीतिक भ्रष्टाचार के आगे घुटने टेकने से मना करने की ताकत रखते तो शायद भारत की स्थिति कुछ अलग होती।

Bhai aap kahan kahan rona royenge corruption ka....Chaprasi se lekar IAS aur phirr usse upar ye neta log...Corruption ek aadmi si nahi chalti..saare involved hain...

Desh gulam hua corruption ki vagah se..aise hi thodi na khatam ho jayegi...Haan kuch log hain imandar lekin wo bahut hi kam hain.

Thoda gyan aur share kar raha hoon :



NEW DELHI: Almost one-third of Indians are "utterly corrupt" and half are "borderline", the outgoing head of the country's corruption watchdog has said, blaming increased wealth for much of the problem.

Pratyush Sinha, who retired as India's Central Vigilance Commissioner this week, said the worst part of his "thankless job" was observing how corruption had increased as people became more materialistic.

"When we were growing up I remember if somebody was corrupt, they were generally looked down upon," he said. "There was at least some social stigma attached to it. That is gone. So there is greater social acceptance."

Transparency International, the global anti-graft body, puts India 84th on its corruption perception index with a 3.4-point rating, out of a best possible score of 10.

New Zealand ranks first with 9.4 points and Somalia last on 1.1 points.

The campaign group has said that each year millions of poor Indian families have to bribe officials for access to basic public services.

Sinha told the Mint newspaper in an interview published on Tuesday that 20 per cent of Indians were "honest, regardless of the temptations, because this is how they are. They have a conscience.

"There would be around 30 per cent who would be utterly corrupt. But the rest are the people who are on the borderline," he said, adding that corruption was "palpable".

Sinha said that in modern India "if somebody has a lot of money, he is respectable. Nobody questions by what means he has got the money."

Recent corruption scandals in India have focused on construction projects for the Commonwealth Games that open in New Delhi next month, and alleged tax evasion in the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket tournament.

India is also regarded as a hotbed of illegal betting syndicates, with gamblers and bookmakers involved in "spot-fixing" -- the gambling that has engulfed the current Pakistani cricket tour of England.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has often spoken out against the damaging effect that bribes, extortion and fraud have on all levels of life, and warned that the problem threatens India's future economic prospects.

बहुत ही रहस्यमय-से शख्स लगे श्री रतन टाटा. इतनी धन-दौलत होने के बावजूद ना कोई आस-औलाद, ना कभी विवाह ही किया. ये दुनिया सुंदर पत्नी, पुत्र आदि को सबसे बड़ी खुशियों में गिनती है और इसी दुनिया में रतन टाटा जैसे लोग भी हैं. अब रतन टाटा को बदनसीब कहें या क्या कहें, समझ से बाहर है. बेहद भयानक बात.
