Friends as we are talking about corruption it is very big problem that we are facing from earlier. But according to my point of view only the name of persons that we read in paper or watch in news are not only responsible for corruption but also the common man is also responsible for that. But I like to tell you that corruption is depend upon the situation and the position of the common man. If any person in hurry and has some urgent work and caught by police he asked police for bribe so that the person get corrup. It's only the dirty smell of garbage that we have created.

Well,
I would always stand against the topic by saying that corruption is something that has been made or generated by us (human beings) that has nothing to do with reality. No government or legal bodies can force us to give bribe for admission in reputed colleges unless we don't deserve it. No legal authorities would ask you a bribe to get the suitable job. We don't need to go through a price hick whether basic necessities to obtain a livelihood is just rs-35 (if we are capable to earn it) , not a single company would influence us to hide our salary through tax (if we are a contributing citizen who loves his nation).
We and only we are the people who have raised the topic to an extent that most of are addicted to sort out our problems fast despite of looking it rationally.
Any success would sustain if we are capable to hold it wisely, we don't need to work through evil to achieve it, and if we are seeking the solution to eradicate corruption then the answer would always come to evolution of "Collective Consciousness" towards the morality rather than a quick fix.

Today in this world each and everything we want wether taking admissions or securing good jobs we have to take support of corrption!!! That means for every life attainig work we have to take or give bribe. Every where a serious question is askd"who dissorves more punishment one who takes bribe or one who gives bribe?" Actually in my point of view certainly one who gives bribe is more corrupt because to that person whom your giving will take that bribe becuse that bribe is that kind of money which ca fullfill his/her LIC payments or may deposit his child's fee. That time money becomes his life, all that he can't with his salary he can do with that biribe!
We as people or citizens of country feels all that corruption is going on the country is just because of the corrupt politians but had we seen ourselves?Are we corruption free? If no so how can we blame those who are just like us. the difference is only that they take bribe in massive scale according to their position and we takes another chance to blame them!!
Friends corruption is a social evil which suddenly canooy be uprooted from the country or the world just like Anna hazare we can try out! YAA one thing more we speak "anna tum sangharsh karo hum tumhare saath h" Why only anna protest alone except supporting can't we protest not with him but yes like him!!!
This a topic where disscussion could never end!!! So, just praying that corruption should be uprooted I would say a thanx!!!

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.
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.
Corruption start from the childhood to the end of the life.For taking admission in reputed school or college we pay extra money i.e we do corruption.There are many things for which we do corruption.So from mt point of view we are the only who can take a role to make corruption less.I will say it is impossible to remove corruption but if we try for an extend then it will surely remove.
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.
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.
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.

First of all we have to change the system. New politicians with moral ethics like anna hazare should be elected. All this political system should be changed. Because 90% of these politicians are corrupted along with man mohan singh. We cannot trust anyone in politics. So we youth create a new world.

Hi friends today no country of the world has been able to root out corruption nor will India be able do so. Many people have adopted corruption as their culture. Also in our country the procedure for getting any work done is very long if we want do our work very fast we have to give bribe.
Now a days corruption is becoming a king of India. We can't eliminate the corruption but we can try to do so.

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. :).

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.
