No, its not about any detergent. They say corruption is like a blot. Au contraire, there could be flip side to it.
Wealth distributor - I guess corruption is the most even and fair way of redistributing wealth rapidly so that it reaches the needy. Example- so many news items have been published highlighting the plight of underpaid and overworked policemen. So what if a merc owner pays a paltry "tip" amount of jumping a red light - which amounts to the copper's 10% basic. Everyone's happy and no harm done. I thus propose the Law of osmosis of currency.
Great leveler - nothing binds us together as tightly as Pakistan bashing, cricket and corruption. The first two may be the privelege of the rich but corruption.....ah....the great leveler. All people, irrespective of caste , religion, social standing and physical divides particiate with great ferocity in this all pervasive activity. There would be some honest "outcasts" but then, lets not talk of the miniscule minority.
Economy saver - who saved our economy in current crisis? The black money stashed in our pillows, water tanks, commodes etc. No wonder even though the official inflation figures are dismally low, demand is up, thanks to the excess "cash fat" stored in the corrupt pachyderms. If it were not for this reserve, I would have been jobless by now (given my talents and level of common sense).
A global noble cause - We should be proud. We not only drive our own economy but also the Swiss's. Also , imagine the job creation in Swiss banks. Where does the US of A drive its growth...credit. And where does it get credit from.....no prizes for guessing it right.
Efficiency driver - Imagine how fast your job gets done the moment you move your papers along with the paper having the picture of the father of the nation. There are many countries where officials with unusually high contamination of honesty virus in their blood stifle efficiency. Regressive individuals. Here, at least you get work if you pay for it...is it not how it's supposed to be?
I still believe corruption is a Blot...but don't you think sometimes...daag achhe hain???
