Corruption is common not only in India but also several other countries. Indeed There are countries which have a very low level of corruption. Corruption arises basically due to lack of moral ethics and excess money. In a highly populated nation like India where major chunk of population are poor, there is a lot of scope for the bureaucracts and politicians to bribe the people in each and evry possible.

Way. Corruption may not only be in the form of bribery involving cash, but also involves accepting favours inother ways which gives rise to money laundering, creation of bogus companies for the purpose of investment, etc.

And coming to the topic Whether Corruption is necessary evil for success in any sphere ? Yes it is atleast till recently untill the anticorruption movement started by the Anna Hazare that gave a ray of hope to the nation that corruption less society is possible. Most of the people are of opinion that Money makes many things and this is the main reason for corruption. Even though the person taking bribe and giving bribe are culprits, the person who is giving bribe is showing the path for corrupt practices which indeed is serious problem. Most of the cases situational.

Demands give rise to corruption for an individual to become success. But it entirely depends on the moral ethics of an individual to go for a corruption less society or corrupted society.

I would like to say that CORRUPTION is not necessary for success in any field, if any person have the potential and desire he can achieve everything that he want, without involving in corruption. We always blame to politician for corruption, but never think that who elect them, answer is we. On other hand we are also responsible for increasing corruption, rich person gives money to officers for making their work first without standing in queue and spending their time, thus we are making them addict of money for doing their work. So by blaming the person who demands money we can not eradicate corruption because we are making them addict.

If we really want to get rid of corruption first of all we have to change ourselves by stopping ourselves giving bribes, because bribe giver is more responsible than bribe taker, if bribe giver gives money than nobody will not deny for bribe because money is important for everybody, on otherhand when a bribe taker demands for money and nobody is ready to give than how he can take bribe. We should never think that only by changing ourselves we can't get rid of corruption because if everybody will think same than who will initiate. ANNA HAZARE stand against the corruption without thinking that public will support them or not. SO TODAY WE DECIDE THAT WE WILL NEVER GIVE OR TAKE BRIBE.

As a counter-point to Anna's over-hyped work re: the LP Bill (which appears likely to get some traction, given the mass mobilisation involved), let me extract the key reforms from my book, Breaking Free of Nehru (BFN) to outline what India actually needs to implement in order to remove corruption.

Basically, we need to make India's governance incentive compatible - to ensure that interests of the elected representatives are aligned with the interests of the citizens.

Note that the reforms outlined below are only PART of the total package and won't work in isolation. And do note the richness of thought and depth involved in this way of thinking, compared with the shallow thinking that underpins the LP Bill. If things were as easy as passing a Bill, India would have resolved its many problems long ago by legislating them away!

After reading this extract from BFN, you may conclude that this package won't work. But you must first read BFN and understand the complete package carefully before you can judge this "solution" - which only forms the KEY part of the package. Indeed, within the framework of this reform package, outlined in BFN, something like the LP Bill WILL work. However, the LP Bill WON'T make any difference to corruption or governance under the current system.

Corruption is a word which we all used to hear daily from every person, every news channel, every society.

But have we ever who has given birth to this never ending problem. Its we people.

So we should not blame any other politician, because they just enter into politics to make money not to serve our country,

And we are the ones who have voted them and allow them to have all the money which is given for our nation's development to them they just store it in other nation.

And the more funny thing is going to be happen with them that all their money is going to be just waste after april as they will not accept the older notes, and as it is black money so the problem to them is how will they make it white.

And ultimately the loss will be our because that money can do a lot for our country in improving infrastructure, in many other development activities.

And ultimately its our responsiblity so we have to pay the prize for it.

And for having success in our life we have just played with the past, present, future of our people.

Would we have said a no on the first day itself when being asked for any bribe, than this day wouldn't have come in our life.

But now the situation is so worse that it will take decades to remove its root from our nation.

Thats all. Thank you.

It is very inconsiderate for any person to call a country corrupt.

As per a article Italy is one of those European nation which you can associate India with. In such a case you would find a same section of those people calling their country a corrupt country, but to an amazement Italy is still able to mantain seventh highest spot in GDP, Its not corruption that is hampering national progress its the people who need to work for its compensation rather than just speaking against it.

In India corruption cases has always been there and has become such an integral part that growth no more depends on corruption, it is for the people to wake up and fight for their rights.

In the event of launch of sarva siksha abhiyaan it was very evident that this motive did spread to each village. So instead of crying for the amount of money lost during the sarva siksha abhiyaan in form of corruption it is imperative for us to look into the enormous progress made by the government and ensure that each poor child do make it to primary education.

What I want to emphasize on is that their are agencies that are working to reduce corruption but it is very important for us to live with corruption and do our work with full honesty, and corruption would definitely come down slowly but surely.

Hello friends.

According to me corruption is the most important speaking matter in India. We all are also corrupted because we all are also involve in it. First of all we should stop giving bribe to the government sector and to the private sector. Not in this in our school there they donation or development fees it is also one type of corruption going on in our country.

Dowry is also a type of corruption. When we give bribe then only the boy will marry the girl. This only going in some countries. In our India there are so many people who don't have any job or home to live this is also because of corruption. Corruption free India will not have this all other problems.

We all are also supporting it in many ways. This we all also giving bribe to win the government exams, high school exam. We are not stopping this here we do this same to get jobs like IPS posts, Police selection, government jobs ect.

Bribe taking and giving people are making us the citizens of the country, the CBI, Police officers and the respected government. Please stop this it will affect the growing generation and coming generation. Please stop this for a good future. Please stop this for you and your family.

Thanks bye good luck India.

Corruption! lt's damn dangerous any road traffic accident death can be a result of corruption if anyone breaks a signal and hits someone which later on gets killed the mindset is a traffic cop takes only 200 I can get away by corruption even a roads pothole is so dangerous a product of corruption the quality of tar is already compromised how can a road be potholes free! Even people take degrees and work for lifetime without getting caught all due to corruption. Even a suicide is a result of corruption one doesn't get a job having all the credentials some other person gets it by bribing the company officials. It's hard the system still favours corruption no strict laws one who gets caught and gets suspended again gets the job after 2 hardly 3 years. There will be no time to teach the youth the mindset is getting moulded toward corruption even educated people having a great salary are very corrupt there's no stopping there is no reason to cry even if anybody's loved one gets killed on road or due to lack of medical facilities in government hospital in there life they have themselves supported corruption think about it!Dam dangerous corruption!

Corruption is a term we indians very well aware of, as every now and then news channel flashes breaking news of scams, scandals in which our ministers are involved and they earn agood TRP. Now why I am saying all this is that we cannot play the blame game anymore. If there is corruption not only the minister is guilty, but the whole ministry, people of the country is equally guilty. Because it is not a 1 way traffic, it is agive and take process. If bribe is being asked at any level of govt or private sector, it should not be given rather protested. This is what Anna is asking for. Success and corruption can never go hand in hand. Here Success means progress of the country and not of an individual. Even if someone thinks that he has achieved success through corruption, than he is not mentally sound, he has lost morality and eventually fall in his own trap. Perseverance, sincerity, belief in god are the only mantras for success of any individual or his country. If these ideologies are percolated in every individual mind, then corruption will find no void to exist and will be completely eradicated.

Recently in A.P wine tenders were called number of interested candidates were tendered for that but the politician of the region they occupied all the shops, took the tenders by their power. If we observe this politicians shows very interest in earing money, not to serve country.How much I am honest? This question should be asked by everyone who is criticising corruption. First of all we must make ourself honest in all aspect of life. If you can't change the world change yourself. Don't run after money or fame like everyone, have a simple and happy life.

If I am not able to curb corruption at a large scale by making myself honest I am making a very lesser part of this society honest but I am doing something.

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.

Corruption can be described under two headings 1 is auto willing and another is force willing. The powerful persons demonstrate the Auto willing corruption for achieving success against the selective rule of the society or administration. Uneducated poor peoples are forced to be a part of forceful unwilling corruption though having tendency. The disgusting thing is that a woman can only get the bless of mother by giving birth a male child to his family in of corruption. Peoples are now believing in the success through corruption more than their talent. So the people do not feel guilty and not moving back from casting couch for getting a chance to be cast for some role in pictures. Students do not like to struggle for a long time so engaged in corruption for better result by going near to the officer instead of coming to college or school. So the corruption becomes ultra source of maintenance of life in our society increasing day by day. At the last but not least when the people try to become educated not highly literate the corruption can have vanished from the society.
