I think corruption is not the price for democracy because in every type of government we can find corruption. Corruption is the result of mindset of people to give thing to get thing done on priority or misuse of power. We talk about leader that the are corrupt, bureaucrats are corrupt it is true but it is also true that we make able him to do these type of illegal work. Therefore now time has come that we have to come together and take step against corruption. We have to start from our home, to root out the corruption. We have to choose our best leader, & government Also take care of the fact that people should able to choose the best leader by protecting them from non socialistic reason. To stop the corruption government Should make stringent provision against it & should honour the step which is going to stop it or are ready to routed out it. That all.

According to me, as long as we are selfish and lazy only we are responsible for the success of corruption and not the democracy. Because we bother only about us and we do anything to get things done fast not thinking about the consequences. There is corruption. Corruption is everywhere. To stop corruption we people has to change and lead a success.

Hi Friend, What is corruption " To give things to get thing done on priority ". Or we can say say misuse of power. I completely disagree with this "corruption is the price we pay for democracy". We each at individual level promoting corruption, because everyone wants his own works to be done on priority not even in government office but in temple too. We always ready to pay bribe, to get work done as son as possible. Now my friends we are livening in Republic country where our government work according to system and our government always trying to improve it, so it is the responsibility of each individual to Cooperate with the government and it is also a responsibility of us to follow the system. If each each individual follow the system there will be no need to give bribe.

Hello Everyone, It is good to see so may thoughts regarding the topic. My take is, it is completely illogical that corruption is the price we are paying for democracy. Democracy is Independence, it is giving us all the right we have as a citizen of India. Democracy is a result of hard work and the hard ships all the great people like Bhagat Singh and others had faced. It is upto us that how we want to see and how we want to make this society. It is us who decides what should be done in which way, corruption is a like a disease which has been created by us. No body can't make any excuse that he never done anything which contribute to the current situation of corruption we have in our country. There is a need to correct ourself first, start it from yourself your family your relatives and so on. Gandhi ji has told us; be the change you want to see. So if we want to see and we want to have a corruption free society it should be our prime responsibility rather than blaming other.

Corruption is the biggest bug that is making our countries GDP to reduce. Because of this only corruption India is ranking in least position in every technical sectors. For example, if we go to any government office for a work with out money no one look at our work. Richer are becoming more richer and poorer are becoming more poorer because of this corruption. Every student and individual should step forward to reduce corruption in INDIA and make our country richer. THANKS.

Hi guys, Corruption is a great and basic word can be heard any where. But the person who are talking about the corruption are himself corrupted. Every one now a days want to get their work quickly which results in the extra money charge called corruption. This sweat box of money make them greedy. Today their are so many politician in our country they solve the problems of public in exchange of money either the work is legal or illegal. In our country every one want to earn money, it doesn't mean from where it comes, but should come. Every one today corrupted. But this is not only due to the taker of money but also due to the person who give money for their legal or illegal work. So to make our country we must be free from this fact that we will not give any type of money to get our work easily and if the officer or social worker stress for money than complain it. There is a effective low for this dishonesty. So make your self free from corruption and help in making India free from corruption. That's all.

Hello Freinds! Just as "Every coin has two sides", like that CORRUPTION also has two causes. We have to look and think on both the sides. "We cannot clap with one hand". Its just like that. We are not to blame our politicians alone. WE ARE TO BE BLAMED TOO. But people forget this unfortunately. More than 50% people today are paying bribes to public officials! So how can the government alone be made responsible for this? In every nook and corner of our nation we see corruption. Be it schools, Colleges, Offices, Government Offices, Hospitals and where not. The beginning of corruption starts from our house itself. From childhood itself children are given bribes. For example, if you want them to study then you promise them to give them the things they like. Is this not one kind of bribe? The next time the child him/her self will demand something from you and threaten you that if you will fulfill their wish they will not study. This is indirectly bribing is it not? You want your ward to get good marks give bribes. You want your work to be done without any interference of law, give bribe. When will this stop? The politicians spend crores of rupees on elections. They PURCHASE voters for them to win. Has anyone ever thought 'Where did they get so much money from?'. I am sure no one has. India has around US $1.5 trillion in Swiss Banks and India tops in it! India has more black money invested in Swiss Banks than any other country in the world! Aren't these numbers huge? Yes, they are. Whose money is this? Its ours. We live in democratic country. Democracy FOR the people, BY the people and OFF the people. We have the right to know where the money that we pay as tax go. But we don't even bother to ask. This is the reason why so many people today are unemployed, stay on footpaths, don't have enough food to eat and no clothes to wear. Is this our superpower India 2020? If we start giving bribes we surely will be able to bring down the corruption rate by 50%. Vote for the appropriate candidate. Of course this will not happen in a night. It will take time. But its high time we start thinking about this. Its time we have to come together and unitedly fight against corruption. If everyone will think like this then who has the power to come and stop us? Awareness has to be created among today's youth who are the leaders of tomorrow. Thank You.

If this topic is in contrast with democracy in India then I don't think democracy is left in India. Democracy means a government of the People, for the People, by the People. But nowadays politicians are not selected by giving votes they select themselves by 'buying' the votes, certain people really don't know about giving votes during elections they know this is earning time as any politician will come and give them money or something and they become happy they don't even know what is democracy. And when these type of politicians come into power, you can see what is happening from last 4 years. About corruption, this is not the new term (as many said corruption means getting their work done by unfair means) people in old days (may from the days humanity exists) this thing was done but that time it was not harming anyone a lot (there were very less people then) but nowadays in a country like India with such huge population and of-course with democracy, everyone cannot fulfill his needs he has to take wrong ways, this results in corruption. But I don't think democracy has to do with it as there are lots of democratic countries in the world with less corruption India ranks at 95 (More the number more corrupt the country is) in the corruption perception. So we can realize there are lots of countries which are having less corruption while having a DEMOCRACY!

First of all we have to see the meaning of corruption. The corruption is nothing but the giving a thing (money or anything) for getting a work from others quickly. As soon as the britisher leaved our country, some other dictators are formed in our country. They made corruption. But now each and every human being is corrupting upto his maximum extent. Corruption is one of the major common disease of the many countries. The country with corruption are the countries which are always the control of the other people. The corruption is mainly coming from the people who are lazy and elite. At first, the lazy peoples and elite people are corrupted the society for their wealth. Then gradually peoples started to corrupt the society. But now we cannot do anything in the society without corruption. Instead of other feeling (National, Welfare of society) the corruption is the thing which is running as the blood in the people of the major countries. So each everyone should try to became a corruptless. Corruption is like a cholestral in the vessels of blood system (Society). It gradually decreases the size of the vessels and leads to heart attack (Social welfare). So try to be a social man.

Corruption is the result of an ill mindset, a result of people's desire to fulfill their unjustified ambitions using unethical methods.

Though corruption is teeming in a democratic state, it is not entirely correct to state that corruption is integral to democracy. India is a republic democratic, but angled towards democracy. As for the comparison with America, the nation is an evolved one. And I think with the increase in transparency demands by the next generations, India is evolving.

The political leaders of our nations are totally corrupt, but america is having up class thinking. They know better than us that, how to fulfill the demands which are necessary for the people who all are living over there. America has recently tested one missile I don't know the name of that missile but I heard that by this missile america can destroy the land of 9, ooo to 1o, ooo km, India copied the same thing we all might have heard about 'agni 5'by this missile we can destroy any thing on the wide range of 5000 km to 5500 km.

Corruption does become a road block in the process of national development if the policy makers are not patriotic or not trained in development processes or not interested in national development and get away fooling citizens. However it is not necessary that corruption is the price we pay for democracy. A few months back, I read a book " 5 Years Guarantee : How to make India Richer " published by Manas Publications, New Delhi. The book is basically in the domain of developmental economics and public policy and suggests a very novel process for quick national development and poverty removal. In this process of developemnt and employment generation, the concept explains secondary or inconsequential role of money. That makes corruption not affecting too much on the daily lives of the citizens. The book has even a chapter on corruption. If such a system for development is followed, in that case, domestic corruption (associated only within the national boundary) has no major impact. But corruption encompassing beyond the national boundary may have both short term and long term consequences for the nation. Take for example foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-retail. It's colour is definitely marred by corruption at the highest levels. And once implemented, it will affect and drastically impact the Indian citizens leading to long term unemployment, higher consumer prices and threat to the national security. Just take one recent example of the story of apples in India. The Indian apples are diificult to purchase (not seen) , big retails and now even smaller retail shops keep only Australian or Fuzi or Chinese apples at much much hiher prices and unprecedanted rate of the price rise still happening.

Corruption and democracy are two different thing and they can exist separately, but in a developing democracy like India, where most of the people belongs to the middle class, a government job is seen as a source of income first, and then they go for the duties. Believe me, in India a job having extra income, i.e. Black money is preferred over the others. If we are looking for a corruption free India. It can be achieved but only after everyone of us stop corruption related things. Corruption, in the way I see, is a communicable phenomena.

Corruption is not a new thing. It has existed in the past and will continue in future. Corruption is more prevalent in dictatorship or irresponsible government. Democracy is supposed to be the best available system of governance. Now, it is said that corruption and democracy are inseparable. This is not true. Democracy is form of government in which peoples participation is vital. They are the master of the government. The corrupt government can be thrown away by the people in a democracy. The studies show that corruption is not totally absent in democracy. It is more in developing democracies. In India, corruption thrives because of unholy marriage of politics and money and muscle power The compulsions of coalition government, particularly at the federal level is an unholy source of corruption. But, it is democracy which is the only hope to combat corruption. Accountability, openness and transparency can prevent corruption, which is possible in a democratic system only.

Corruption has proved to be cancerous in the recent past. "Over 250 billion crore is, only deposited by Indian leaders in the Swiss bank, said Swiss Bank's director". Corruption always flows downwards, So when our leaders are corrupt, automatically our security gaurds are corrupt. But because of democracy we are able to protest for our emancipation. Think about an autocracy, here too corruption is prevalent, but people cannot even protest. So it is wrong to say that corruption is the price we pay for democracy. Not a single person in India would have to depend on paltry food, If all political leaders are made to produce their property with a manifesto. The anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare has given up everything for a strong lokpal bill. But it is impossible for a single person to drive against corruption unless and until he enjoys the support and effort of the masses. Have you heard about Abdul Kalam's book India:Vision 2020?, It illustrates how the youth of this country can work towards a better futrue of India in the contemporary world. So as the youth of this country, It is our responsibility to strive for a corruption-free India.

There's no doubt that corruption has strong roots in India. But to say that we suffer corruption just because we're a democratic country would be grossly wrong. There are other democratic countries too where corruption isn't as prevelant as in India. In our country the people in power are more concerned about winning the next elections rather than bringing the necessary reforms for the betterment of our nation. A more astonishing fact is that those people are elected by us, the people of India only. Its a matter of perception on part of those elected representatives that which path they choose-coruption or ridding the system itself of corruption.

He can't do anything in the same way we all are aware that in India there are two main parties congress and bijepi and people have to select among of these two party but politician are considering their birth right to take bribe and being corrupt we have many of example like 2g scam and commanwealth scam etc. But many of mine friend are talking about corruption in politics only but it is a problem which is spreading day by day in each and every field such as in our educational system. Altough anna ji and many other social worker have taken a stape against corruption but it is not at all sufficient all the people of our country will have to understand the problem so that we can overcome the problem.

Firstly we should stop giving bribe to politicians , traffic police or to any other person only after that we can stop spreading this disease. We should salute the work what ANNA HAZARE has done for our country to stop corruption, but only one man cant change everything in a short period of time as corruption is in our country from a very long period of time .

Corruption is social evil. The people who will take corruption is a criminal but what about the person who will give the corruption. Both are criminals only. People give the money to the officer or others to complete their work as soon as possible without any trouble. They don't think about others. People are so selfish. Once the officers are habituate for money they will ask again and again. For example:if a child cry, mother will give a chocolate to him for stop the crying. The child will habituate and cry for chocolate. In election time, politicians will give money or gifts in same time people will take the money but none of them will inform to police.

Yes, I have observed everybody has given their opinions. But nobody said that, is he not involved in any corruption. For example, in our house our parents encouraged us if you get 90% this year, you will give a two wheeler. The child get that 90% marks for getting bike. From childhood, we are encouraging our children as habitual corrupted person. In the same way, after getting job, he was habitual to do any work to get something. In this situation, the person can't do any work without getting anything from anybody. He always searching for to get something.

Corruption does not have to be the price of democracy. There is a culture of corruption in India, where people are expected to pay for their rights. Of course, corruption can be rooted out if all of us change ourselves and our attitude towards it. If we all stop paying and accepting bribes, then corruption dies. But that is not easy--I can stop myself from doing these things, but I cannot stop my neighbour doing it. Rather than a bottom-up approach where everyone decides they will no longer pay bribes, which is very hard to enforce, it is much easier to solve the problem using a top-down solution, starting with those in power--the ministers. More transparency and accountability will help reduce corruption. Moving to a more cashless system, and making public the financial transactions of high-ranking officials will do a lot to help curb it. There should be measures to disincentivise corruption.

Its a deseise like cancer for the society. Its very difficult to remove it but not impossible, its not one day job for a man, its takes long time, every person have to participate and give their contribution. If we want to remove corruption from our society so we have need to change to our self. Every people have to speak against corruption at when it needs, not to wait for others.

No. It is totally wrong that corruption is the price we pay for democracy. If we say this then it is just a insult of our old knights who were fight a lot to make our country a democratic country. It is just a change of time, change of thoughts that the people only think about their self. The people to whom we give our trust, our votes are also think about their profit. If they give that much interest to improve our country in such way considering all categories of people then also the country can improve. If there should not be any beggar, no one will be under the poor line, all have their foods by their own earnings then the democracy will success. But for it we all have to wait, we also have to give our 100% to the country to improve it. If we all are together then the corruption will disappear from our country. Its existance is just because of our support, if we don't support it then it can't be grow any more. And we should not compare our country, INDIA with other country we should respect our own culture our own thoughts so that we can improve it by our own way. Then only we can proud to be a citizen of the democratic country.

Okay.. There are two main things in this thread that appalls me. 1)The pure lack of knowledge in various comments in this thread. 2)The astonishing abuse of grammar laws in this thread. Anyway, here's my take. Corruption is NOT the price we pay for democracy. If you think about it, being a democracy is the only thing that helps us put our views out here. A democratically elected government is answerable to the people, through the opposition party. Yes, there is rampant corruption in the society, not just in the government services, but also in private sector industries, such as Satyam. But think for a moment. A lot of money has been looted with a legal check on power. What if we had no rights to say what we want to? If there was no opposition that points out the embarresing flaws in a ruling pary? The corrupt will have a license to do it in the open, and a lot more money would be taken away from each of us. Its very easy to say that corruption is unstoppable, and crack jokes about the corruption in India. If none of us pay a bribe to anyone, try to use monetary power to cut corners, this is possible. Government agencies might refuse to work without your bribe, but if none of us pay a bribe and he still refuses to work, the whole system will collapse. He will not be able to take it after a point. This doesn't happen in a day, of course, but with a clear destination set in our minds, we can get there. This is not the first time there was a mass public agitation in the country, where the government seemed to be in power of everything, but all it needed was persistence and non-cooperation of the public. Think of our fight for independence. Corruption was much more rampant, and the Englishmen were in control of all our government undertakings. We got them out of the country. It is possible to do that to corruption as well, we just need persistence and faith. As many people rightly pointed out, if corruption was the price paid for democracy, communist nations such as China wouldn't be corrupt, and they are ranked higher in the most corrupted nations list.

In my viewpiont, corruption is not the price we pay for democracy. Actual it is the we people who increase the corruption. In government sectors, workers are not taking their work seriously and we people pay bribe to them to get ours job done well before time. They also accept the bribe in greed of money. So this all depends upon individuals like us who are accepting and giving bribes. Secondly, it is the responsibility of every citizen (of a democratic country like INDIA) to choose politicians who have good moral character. We have to cast our votes to right people for right job. Transpariencies should be there at each stage of process, so that people can identify between bad and good. Even some other republicians and communists countries have corruption. So, we can say that corruption is not the result of democracy.

Though India is a democratic country, we still have to pay to get what is our right. Corruption is the base for each and every evil thing that happens in India. Nowadays, we see news full of corruption scandals by leaders of the country who are ruling the country. Common man is responsible for the corruption, because he has no options left to complete his work without giving bribe. Corruption will not end unless there is an awareness among the people regarding the bad consequences like hike in petrol prices,LPG, and other daily requirements which a common man has to pay for. I would like to conclude with a short story. Once an American, Australian and Indian minister went to GOD. American asked," When will corruption in our country end?" God said,"5 years." Australian asked,"When will corruption in our country end?" God said,"10 years." and finally when an Indian asked,"When will corruption in our country end?" God cried and said,"The world will end but the corruption in INDIA will never end." It is really a serious issue to think upon and take some necessary steps to avoid corruption make INDIA corruption free.

The word corruption means the destruction, ruining or the spoiling of a society or a nation. A corrupt society stops valuing integrity, virtue or moral principles. It changes for the worse. Such a society begins to decay and sets itself on the road to self destruction. Corruption is an age old phenomena. Selfishness and greed are the two main causes of corruption. Political corruption is the abuse of their powers by state officials for their unlawful private gain. Societies can fight corruption by letting the state know that they have had enough of it. The authorities move very quickly when the press or the television highlights instances of corruption. Education spreads political and social awareness and these are some factors that help curb the menace of corruption.

Against :. I think the current scenario is exactly the opposite of the topic in discussion. I doubt whether the two have any connection. Had we been democratic in the true sense, we would not have been living with evil as the case is. Corruption is rife because we gave birth to it, nurtured it and are now encouraging it to spread its roots everywhere. Democracy is one thing. It enables every citizen to stand up and speak for himself, think rationally and behave intellectually. It is that power which lies in the palms of grass roots irrespective of their caste, creed and religion. On the contrary, it is only Democracy that can uproot corruption if exercised tactfully. It can very well act as means to evade corruption. Corruption today is not prevailing due to democracy; rather such evils have been brought under spotlight because there is democracy. Corruption is prevalent due to vested interests of the leaders of this nation, and to a fault, their sub-ordinates too.

So to summaries, we ourself are responsible for corruption. Not our democracy only. So before raising fingers to our politicians. We should change ourself. Its our duty to vote. So take part in it and choose the right person for the right job.

India is the largest democracy in the world. But sadly, it also lists in the top most corrupt countries in the world. But saying that corruption is the price we pay for democracy would be wrong. Democracy enables a citizen to exercise his rights freely. It enables one to take an active part in the socio economic policies of the country. It is only because of democracy that a person can vote for a person who he thinks is suitable for the post. But, unfortunately we are misusing "democracy". As in, we vote for any person just for the sake of giving the vote. And as such, most oft a wrong candidate wins. One more point I would like to put forth. The CM of a certain state in India has openly claimed that of course he resorts to corruption, all politicians do. He is still the CM of that state. This only shows that the people prefer to suffer in silence. Instead of taking action against him we are just not doing anything. This encourages people like "this cm" to indulge in corruption. We cannot blame democracy for having bringing us to this situation. It's only the people, you and I inclusive!

We the people are responsible for corruption. We should develop some kind of spiritual values within us, so that we can realize what we are doing. Without spiritual motivation we never combat corruption.

Corruption.... Corruption..... Corruption..... We all are responsible for this because we pays bribes for every kinds of work. We should not give example of democracy of India. Every one know that democracy of India is on top. We pay bribes for complete our won first. We forgot the rule FCFO. The person who does not follow this rule at work place should be penalised very well. So first we good to stop corruption.

Why are we talking of corruption only in a democratic country?democracy doesn't provide any incentive for corruption?corruption has no political roots. It is imbibed in our moral and ethical systems! Infact democracy provides such grounds for bringing to light corruption at all levels!the Adarsh scam the 2G scam and the to be 3G and 4G scam will prove the same!otherwise we would have been sailing in the same ship as were Libyans.

Corruption has spreads it tentacles in each and every field of life. I do agree with the point that corruption is the price we pay for democracy. Politicians have given birth to it and the people are feeding it, in simple words corruption was the gift given to us by the politicians and we have accepted it, today every one want the corruption free nation but no one is ready to take action against it, at one end we are free to do any thing in our country that is just and legal but at the other end we does only those thing which was demanded by the system. And now today corruption has taken a giant face and we people at one end curse it, makes debate over it, wright articles against it but at the other end never hesitate to participate in it. So first of all we need to change our self and take pledge as not to become a part of corruption in our life and as well not let others to become part of it. Jai hind.

According to me it is not a democracy which increase corruption but some corrupt officer in our country who makes the country as a corrupt nation we have been living in the democracy since our independence. How many cases of corruption you heard around 20 or 25 years ago? since last few years we are hearing only about scam. At that time we chose the people and now also we choose the people. And the results are in front of us. We ranked 87 in the corruption index. What about the country which ranked in top 20. Their people also choosing their leader by voting. So it is not democracy who is responsible for corruption but some corrupt leader. And I think we should remove them not our system.
