There is much row about corruption. I have been doing much research
in this topic and in that I found that corruption is essential as
long as our laws have many defects or I may say so long as our laws
are corrupt. Corruption helps in managing with those defects. Founder
of modern science of economics, Sir Adam Smith in 1760 wrote a book,
"Wealth of Nations", and in that he has admitted the need
of corruption to correct mistakes of unnatural laws. He says,
corruption and smuggling are two practices who can help nation
overcome the problems created by unnatural or bad laws controlling
economics of the country. To understand what are unnatural laws we
have to see varieties of law types.
List
of types of laws we have, natural law, illegal law, bad law, wrong
controls and prohibitions. We should understand meanings of these
terms. These laws are responsible for corruption in the country.
Therefore, to eradicate corruption in system we must first cleanse
our legal system. If we try to forcibly remove corruption from
society while these defective laws continue; law and order problems
may rise and so eradication of these laws is priority in the process
of removing corruption.
Natural
Laws - This is a type of law that is created for some genuine cause.
Illegal
Laws - These are laws created to protect interests of stake holders.
These laws often infringe upon rights of other section of the society
particularly those who are opponents of stake holders. These laws
control economic activities. They guide economic activity in such a
manner that a certain section benefits and rest of the society
suffers. To avoid application of these laws corruption comes helpful.
So long as such laws exist corruption will never end. In case of
these laws corruption works as an antidote to those laws.
Bad
Laws - These laws are created to serve bad ideas of some section of
the society who is in power. Often they reflect aspirations of a
particular religion or sect against aspirations of other groups.
These laws control moral concepts of people. These laws are made by
people in office who are mentally abnormal. All Draconian laws come
under this type. With help of these laws powerful section of the
society tries to control, demoralize, marginalize other sections of
the society. To avoid application of these laws corruption comes
helpful. So long as such laws exist corruption will never end.
Wrong
Controls - Law makers often use the power of law to bring control on
some activities. Through these controls, movements of people are
manipulated. When controls are properly planned they help the people
but when they are wrongly planned they can be motivating people
involved to indulge in corruption. To avoid application of these laws
corruption comes helpful. So long as such laws exist corruption will
never end.
When
a law is designed it is expected to serve some motives. There are
apparent motives, hidden motives and ulterior motives. Limits and
Interpretation of a law is also important. Many bad laws are made to
be used only in case of emergency. During other normal situations
they are not put to use and so that way we avoid positive corruption
but this practice helps what is called passive corruption. Many laws
are made with purposefully keeping some loose ends to be either used
to serve some covert motive. Often these laws encourage passive
corruption. Not honoring a law by neglecting its rules is called
passive corruption. Very often some good officers of the government
or any such executive agency indulge in passive corruption to help
citizens involved.
At
the end of my research I came to know that corruption is not in
itself existing but it is an effect of bad or unnatural laws. So long
as these laws continue to function we will need corruption. If we try
to impose anti-corruption measures to forcibly curb corruption
situation of explosive nature may arise and it will not be possible
to comprise with that. My conclusion is that first we should detect
defective laws and make them natural or simply remove them from the
system. If we can achieve this; corruption will automatically vanish
from the society.
Modi
has said that he has formed a team of experts to remove unnatural
laws and he also says that many such laws are removed. I do not have
any report that shows which wrong laws are removed by that team. Modi
should declare the list of such wrong laws which he has successfully
removed from the system. We may discuss in future post the process of
such removal so that no natural laws is removed in that process by
bad decisions.
