Sifarish: A Shadow in the Night
Assalamualaikum!
I hope you all are doing well. Today I'm going to discuss a topic that is very popular that is Sifarish. Sifarish is an Urdu word which means recommendation or reference. Sifarish is a harmful practice that is deeply rooted in our society. It is a system where people use their influence and connections to get favour over others. In this article we will explore what sifarish is? How it works? Its effects and necessity to remove it.
Sifarish
Sifarish is a practice of giving favour or benefits to family members or friends in business, politics and other fields. It is a form of corruption where people use unfair advantage and favour using their connections. This can include getting job, promotion and contract without merits and qualifications.
How it works?
Sifarish works through a network of connections and influence. Someone recommends a family member or friend for a favour and in return that person returns the favour by helping someone else work in their network. This creates a cycle of unfair advantages and disadvantages.
Effects of Sifarish
Sifarish has several harmful effects on individuals or society as a whole. Some of these effects include.
Unfair competition
Sifarish creates an uneven playing field as some people have advantage over others.
Lack of Meritocracy
Sifarish undermine the principle of meritocracy, where most qualified person gets job or opportunity.
Corruption
Sifarish leads to corruption as some people use influence or connection to get what they want regardless of the cost.
Inefficiency
Sifarish creates inefficiency as unqualified and ineligible persons get job and contract leading to poor performance.
We see sifarish everywhere from government contracts to job opportunities. For example a man with great authority and influence give contract to his friend without considering other bids. Similarly, someone get job because he has good relationships and contact to boss. This creates a bad environment and lead to inefficiency.
Conclusion
In last I want to say that sifarish is a harmful practice that undermine merit, efficiency and fairness. It is essential to know its harmful effects and work towards creating a society where everyone have equal chance to succeed based on their ability and hardwork not by their connections.
