Love for material achievements engulfs the mind of human beings. That's natural. Such achievements bestow prosperity, confidence and power. General tendency about what power brings was nicely put by Lord Acton some time ago ( which, of course, holds good in most of the cases till now ) - " Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. "
Now, what does power corrupt? Obviously, it is the intent, the psyche of the powerful that gets corrupted by power. His subsequent actions are manifestations of his corrupt soul.
But this hypothesis of Lord Acton , much prevalent as it is, has to change someday. Otherwise, getting rid of corruption from our surroundings would be as Utopian a dream as you can think of. And who is best equipped to be the vanguards of such a change? Obviously, it is the youth of this country. They are our hope.
It's an all-pervasive matter and it includes young minds who are to become CAs, CMAs,CSs, MBAs, Civil Servants and the like in course of time; those who will be an instrument in the policy making for our Motherland.
