Four decades of corruption

Four decades ago, corruption was considered an evil thing and a practice which was rejected by the large segment of society. Now, corruption has not only become a way of life but has obtained some sort of legitimacy. Those who are not corrupt are certainly in a minority as compared to those who are engaged in corruption by design and by default. With the erosion of ethics, values and moral traditions, corruption has permeated far and wide in our society to the extent that it is considered as an ordinary practice and necessity.
