Hi friends corruption is an event where the honesty is burried for the one's own selfishness. It starts from the small labour to big leaders. In my point of view our land is full of corruption to provide a solution that is the greatest effort to produce corruptionless India is to put the seed in young minds to avoid corruption on any situation if it happen so punishment should be severed this makes India 2020 a graceful and prosperous country in the world. There must be the moral lessons for against corruption.

We cannot eradicate corruption by any means because of the line ' JO JITA WO HI SIKANDAR '. No judiciary, no police, no administration can check it because all want.

Money. I am not saying by mere speculation, it is naked true. Yes you can go against.

It when you are in youth stage but in later stage, you will see your partner finished his all requirements, like car, banglow, sending his son/daughter to.

Good colleges etc. And you have done nothing but pretending as saint. Yes you may.

Face slight trouble from vigilance, but do not worry they will be captured by.

Maney. So some extra budget may be kept for them.

I am giving an example: I know an retired civil supply officer, now residing in.

Sambalpur. He had been caught red handed for taking bribe before 15 years during.

His service period, till now the case is pending. He has already spent 8 years of.

Retirement. He utilised the corrupted money for building his real estate business.

And now getting more than one lakh income per month from these source. Can you.

Tell me, if govt heldup his pension which may be about rupees ten thousand, will.

He die. You can find many instance like above only 1% or less BEKUFS are getting.

Punishment.

Remember some post are exists in govt or private sectors, you need not run after money but money will come to you, do not deny, but keep it wisely, spend it wisely. If you can not then do not blame others.

Corruption has many facets to it. For some it is a problem. For instance when confronted by a demand for money in lieu of any governmental or non-governmental service. Many have found it as a solution, when confronted with prospect of punishment in form of fine/penalty/loss of time etc. For e.g. a person up against a deadline omits to buy a train ticket. When confronted by a TTE, in 9 out of 10 times the person offers to bribe the TTE instead of paying for the ticket and the fine. So for him corruption offers a solution. Hence, we need to examine issue of corruption from a systemic angle. How can we simplify systems to the extent that compliance or claim for service becomes easier. In above case the railway can put up electronic ticket vending machines on trains to allow for people in a rush to catch trains rather than put in more TTEs to catch ticketless travelers. Anna & Co's theory would imply having Inspectors of Inspectors ad infinitum to check the corrupt. Who polices the corruptors?

Hello friends you all are talking about corruption & its effects but you know that who is responsible for that, as per as my concern only we people are fully responsible for that because we are the only one who elects those corrupt politicians, we are giving bribes for getting admission in good colleges and so on for our own selfishness, as per as my opinion each & every person of the country, even the small kids are also corrupted so it is impossible to remove corruption but it can be eliminated at some level if every person of India should take an initiative or protest against these kinds of activities even if you protest against these kinds of activities in your surroundings then we are also able to remove corruption at some extend.

Friends we are leaving in a corrupted Country but why India is Corrupted obviously because of Congress, they are governed from last 60 years, 60% of their ministers are courrepted and peoples like our prime minister, congress President are supporting such courrepted politicians indirectly, any strong law has not been passed by these corrupted ministers in parliament. Other parties have also corrupted politicians because of Congress party. This party become voilent from 1947 indirectly and directly also. Letest example is of Ramdeobaba. They are making courrepted peoples also by giving money to people and takes their votes.

Are we ashamed to give votes to such parties?

Because of this the real Social worker like anna demand for janlokpal,Govt lokpal is for to save their Corrupted ministers, ministers are the roots of Corruption and other problems.

This is the reality of India.

If we votes to such parties then we are also corrupted indirectly or directly.

At least in India. Yes corruption has become a tool for success for many nasty people including many notable businessmen of India. Politicians alone can`t be blamed alone for corruption. Businessmen feed politicians for their own purposes and means. After Independence till now Politicians and business men have looted almost all public sector enterprises. Many government have been sold to corporates for a really disgusting and cheap prices. So my opinion yes in India corruption has become a tool for success.

Hi friends,
As per my opinion,Corruption is nothing but literary Corrupt in our Action. Means disobey the ethical/moral way to solve a problem.In this real world every person has its own problems/troubles and to solve their trouble a person wants the fast and convenient way without caring about what is right or wrong.Because of its our turn So we often give some bribe/use our social or political power.And it may result in quick and we forget all those morals and ethics we often used to teach other.In Hindi a well known fact "Swarth lahi kare sab Preeti" means every one is Selfish in this world.And Infact, no one care about the other and the acts which may harm others.


I think, Money and Power Corrupt a person.We often blame Politician but have we ever think who elect them!We elect them as our Representative in Government but when we,business man,give them bribe to solve our PERSONAL issues in govt/non-govt organisation quickly.In this way,WE CORRUPT THEM.
Corruption may occur in its various forms such as,bribing,Stocking,Misconducting,Price-Hike without prior info under govt/company rules,Abusing system,black money,tax hiding and dishonesty in our work so on...
Corruption may give instant happiness or success in our aim but surly it will CORRUPT OUR CHARACTER and destroyed THE PEACE OF MIND lifetime.Your own face hate you to see in MIRROR as IT REMINDS ALL THOSE WORK WHICH CORRUPT YOUR CHARACTER.


Friends,Finally I want to say that CORRUPTION can be reduced but can not be eliminated at all until each and every person follow the ethics,manner(Shistachar in Hindi)wholeheartedly.So instead of BLAMING OTHERS,To REDUCE CORRUPTION we should have PATIENCE,HONESTY IN OUR DUTIES.We should follow rules-regulation and laws strictly.We should have AWARENESS PROGRAM AGAINST CORRUPTION and SUPPORT ANTI-CORRUPTION ACTIVITIES IN PEACEFUL MANNER.We should GO AGAINST CORRUPTION And When WE are CORRUPTION-FREE then only we can expect a CORRUPTION-FREE SOCIETY/NATION.

Well, for me, as a student of political science, this jaw-dropping example of constitutional burden cannot be considered as one of the major questions that can be asked about modern political practice nowadays, because it has been an overriding issue ever since the era of globalization began. In that, I think you have to agree with me. However, since you raised it as a question, all I have to do is to answer it sticking to my principle that "answers make me wise, but questions make me human".

First of all, let me inform you that corruption, in a very real sense, is defined as "the misuse of public power for private gain. " It usually takes the form of bribery, meaning that the public official takes one thing, in return for something else connected with the government. If the public official takes without giving in return, what he takes is merely a "tip". But if the public official takes with the promise that he will give something in return, that is a "bribe". In other words, if the public official receives something and allows it to change his behavior, then, there is "bribery" and not just the Asian custom of gift-giving.

Transparency International issues every year a Corruption Perceptions Index, which is carried in its website. Each year, the Philippines is ranked one of the most corrupt governments in Southeast Asia. For example, in 2010, the Philippines is ranked no. 4 most corrupt in this part of the world. Thus, the Philippine government is not only corrupt, but is characterized by an entire culture of corruption.

This means that both sectors of society are mostly corrupt, public and private. In a public sector, the three branches of government are mostly corrupt, the executive, legislative and judicial, plus the bureaucracy and the military. On the other hand, most of the sectors who criticize corruption are themselves mostly corrupt: mass media, self-styled political analysts and pollsters. On many occasions, the politicians who are the most vociferous against corruption are the most corrupt. Very often, in a culture of corruption, appearances are the exact opposite of reality.

Now if you want to distinguish between the honest and the corrupt official, then you should learn to rely, not on mass media propaganda, but on actual results. As Niccolo Machiavelli once said in his book, "The Art of Politics", "by their fruits, you shall know them". Ask yourself: apart from all the publicity about the official, what has he actually achieved? And in the case of critics of an official, ask yourself: Apart from all the carping against a performing official, what has the critic himself accomplished: Does the critic have a better alternative solution to the problem of corruption? If by chance the answer to the first question is negative, I should say that the official is simply manipulating public opinion. And if the answer to the second question is also negative, then I should say the critic is himself CORRUPT!

At the start of the 21st century, the question on the lips of every individual is: "why is our country so corrupt?"The answer is simple, corruption is caused by the maldistribution of wealth. In practical terms, some 90% of the country's resources are owned by 10% of the country's population, who are the rich. The remaining 10% of the country's resources shall be distributed among 90% of the population, who are the poor. Because their are so little resources available for so many who are poor, the poor, when they have the opportunity are impelled to steal money from government, in order to supplement their inadequate incomes.

Thus, it is plain that for corruption to be stopped in a certain country, the rich should be divested of a substantial part of their disproportionate wealth which should be distributed to the poor. Corruption is caused by a neo-feudal structure of the economy. Therefore, the basic condition for eliminating corruption is to change this neo-feudal structure by encouraging the growth of the middle class who will serve to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor.

Thanks for hearing me out. :).
