What is corruption
In plain words corruption is an act done by an
individual or a group of people or an organization or a government in power in
pursuance of monetary benefits, grabbing influence and power to promote
personal gains— all through illegitimate means violating the law of the land.
norms of social, religious and political ethics, denying human rights and
inflicting losses on others for personal reasons. With this definition at hand
the question that arises is who is capable of doing all this. Is that the poor
and the powerless persons or the people who have the intention, means and
ability to trample mercilessly upon the rights of others? Doubtlessly, in
Pakistan, persons who wield all such powers are a few thousand j agirdars,
waderas, choudhries, landlords, khans, sardars — about 50,000 feudal lords
according to a rough estimate who hold the reins of the fate of the entire
nation. Feudalism, as such, is the source from which corruption radiates all
around.
