Why blame him? A few of your bank officers are corrupt. Aren’t they accepting bribes and flourishing? How was he to know that there is still an honest person in this world?”
I have seen many honest managers turning corrupt due to these sweet-speaking profit-mongers,”
“They start with small gifts and later resort to big money. While you may blame officers at the bank, these businessmen are the prime movers of corruption. They ignite greed and fuel it to derive profits,”
When the leaders to whom we look for motivation are corrupt, why blame the common man?”
The pain of an honest litigation is very severe. The shortcut through dishonesty is an easier path to adopt.
“There is no hope now. Corruption does not arise from a vacuum. It arises because of cultural degradation, disgusting individualism and the economic crisis that looms over our society. It has continued for thousands of years and it will continue.

“Sir, I just want you to help me out of this case and I will serve you in whatever way you want,” Arora said, hoping to strike the right chord and escape suspension.

“This is very true. If I were in his place, I would have resorted to giving a bribe. A fourteen to fifteen years’ ordeal to prove a meaningless point of view is foolishness. These small struggles against corruption are not going to eradicate it. Everyone in the system is making money and it is difficult to stop it.”
