Prevent recurrence of Ruchika story

Ruchika lost her life, her family suffered for years. Real culprit got one after other promotions and better posting and eventually retired. There are numerous such instances which are unnoticed but the victims have been suffering for several years. It is really a fun that all human right bodies, woman organization and media remained silent for last 19 years in case of Ruchika till court delivered judgement.It should not be surprising that in a day or two all hue and cry will subside and the aggrieved families will continue to be tortured like Ruchika’s family person.

When most of the Ministers, MPs and MLAs at state level are corrupt how can they inculcate good practices among IAS officers, IPS officers, judges, other functional heads and subordinate staffs?
When person like Madhu Koda or Lalu Yadav or Mayawati or Om Prakash Chautala or Bhajan Lal become head of a state, corrupt officers will get powerful and cream posting and continue to be awarded with quickest promotions whereas on the contrary good and honest officers working in the administration will be shunted away, deprived of promotion and placed at non-effective dormant posts. One can imagine the fate of the state in such position when the head is the most corrupt.

Since the Chief Minister of Harayana Mr. Bansi Lal or Mr. Chautala was corrupt they went on patronizing and promoting corrupt person like Mr. Rathore. Such heavy weights in politics and in administration do not face any problem in managing even judiciary and police departments.

It cannot be denied that when the top in any office or in the government is weak and corrupt, the bottom-line is bound to be corrupt, inefficient and dishonest. It is not only Ruchika but there are millions of people who have been tortured by Indian corrupt system. Every day and everywhere such type of exploitations and torturing are taking place. Media take cognizance of one or two cases and then they also go for hibernation.

Old proverb “survival for the fittest” no more holds good. Now a day’s survival is possible only for the person who is well versed in flattery to bosses, to high command in the party and who can earn money through ill methods and shares the same with his bosses. As such it is not astonishing that corrupt persons are placed at top posts including at the post of justice and chief justice of a high court or Supreme Court.

Whimsical promotion, whimsical transfer and posting are the root cause of all types of irregularities, deficiencies, corruption, exploitations, injustices, delayed justice, denial of promotion, and mal-administration in the family, in the society and in the country as a whole. Whenever a new departmental head joins his duty or a new Chief Minister takes charge of the state, or a new government comes to power at the center, chain of whimsical transfers takes place causing unwarranted annoyance among talented and good workers. Whimsical promotions to flatterer juniors superseding senior good workers are very common in our country.

As long as we are unable to provide a reasoning based transfer and merit based promotion and as long as the wrong doers are not punished by courts in the country in the quickest timeframe we cannot imagine of stopping corrupt practices prevailing and spreading like cancer in the society.
.
I have been advocating abolishing Interview panel in all promotion processes and eliminate all avenues which give scope for whimsical decisions in all departments and in all organizations because Interview is such a test where Interviewers can easily spoil the candidate’s career. Similarly delegated power of transfer invested in top post gives rise to corrupt practices. In transfers and posting and during interview, key role is played by elements like bribe, gift, sources, godfathers, and flattery possessed by employee whose performance is assessed during interview.

Last but not the least; our courts cannot deliver justice in decades. This eliminates the fear from the minds of interviewer and the aggrieved person is constrained to bear with the rejection in promotion process. Justice delayed is justice denied. And when there is no hope of justice even from court, aggrieved person is left with no alternative other than digesting the poison of injustice.
