Our mother India is celebrating 78th year of independence from British rule . On this occasion, our elected leaders will make eloquent speeches about the achievements of the government and political parties in particular will announce welfare schemes which may appear on paper and not in action. They will also lay foundation stones. But will our leaders publicly admit that corruption is rampant in our country from top to bottom? The newspapers are full of corruption related stories almost daily which are difficult to digest but most are true. The main cause of this evil is greed. People in power under some pretext or the other lie, loot and siphon public money to acquire more wealth which be enough for generations together without worry. This insatiable desire drives out honesty, accountability, sense of decency, compassion for the poor, Referring to greed I can just remember the words of our great leader Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation. He said and I quote, " There is enough in India for everyone's need but not for everyone's greed. "
