Thanks everybody, I also would like to discuss about corruption. First of all we are self responsible for arising the corruption. We attract them for receiving the bribe. We take a example of corruption if we are going to pay the payment of electricity bill and found there are a lot of people standing in the queue. We have extra money so that we don't want to stand in the queue. For avoiding this queue we pay extra that is bribe. Which we are beginning first. So that we are hundred percent responsible for that. Even every government sector is also corrupt. We have need take sign to government employee. He will not sign on any document without taking bribe. If we don't give him. Then our work will put off. We have to come up and raise our voice against this corruption. We should take oath that we will neither take bribe and nor give bribe to anybody. Then we can root out this corruption.

There are only two things money can do, and that is to build a human life and to break a human life. Greed for money unveils that money controls your life and this means you are out of control of your own life, where greed takes over. Those who have control over money, this is when wisdom takes over with the root of compassion for your fellow human being.
Greed knows no compassion, human respect, peace and true love because it bears the fruits of selfishness, pride, corruption, hate, division, falsehood, crime and spiritual murder. Greed does not come from a human heart or mind, it comes from the heart and mind of a self-destructive murderer, thief and liar, who has absolutely no compassion for the struggling poor and needy who lie before their gates on a daily basis throughout the world. Politicians and religious prosperity leaders are the sowers of this world's most evil greedy seed.

Lot of writers here. Anyway, my 2 cents are: Agreed corruption in India is rampant. Change begins with one person. One anna hazare. Do not give up your fight against corruption. Stop giving bribe and share that experience on social media, write a blog about it on how you got your work done without giving bribe.
People will connect to you, they will start to follow you, and slowly some will imitate you and refuse to pay bribe. It all starts with one person. Please do not cultivate the mentality that India will never change.
Our country has become a victim of divide and rule. We have forgotten or maybe I should say, never experienced the power of Unity. The politicians divide and rule us under caste, position, favoritism etc. Unite by brothers and sisters. Start a movement against corruption. Do not wait for Anna haraze to get the bill passed, he is doing his best, lets do OURS.

Its bit difficult to make our country corruption free. Wherever you go there is a corruption. You cannot complete any of your work without giving bribe. You can experience it well in government offices. From attender to higher position officer, most of them are corrupted. If you give bribe your work is done at the right time. Otherwise it is impossible.
Just think in another way. When an election is declared, ministers spend money for canvas purpose. Its nothing but they buy the vote from people. Most of the people logically loose their voting power by taking money. After that elected one starts to regain his money by harassing the same people in the name 'bribe'. Its a cyclic system, cannot stop at once. Everyone is corrupted by one or the other way.
I really wonder, how people talk about rich man's or big politician black money by themselves being corrupted.

I don't agree with the notion that corruption is a necessary evil for success in any sphere. As far as I can think. Albert Einstein was not a corrupt man but he did succeed. Steve jobs ratan tata Gandhi ji. None of them were corrupted but they were equally successful in their own sectors. We take examples of these great men history can ever produce. Being corrupted is a self-choice. Lotus blossoms in the swamp. So a person can be corruption less in middle of several corrupted people and still be successful if he is ethical true to himself and others and hard working dedicated towards his job. Hardworking can never be compensated by corruption. Moreover, there is always a chance for the corrupted persons to be caught and the consequences are harsh but a corruption free clear person has the gut to face hardles and overcome them with equal bright colors. Thank you.

Yes It's quite right that corruption has become really necessary evil in our society either it would be political system, any government work or somewhere else. But who is responsible for this situation? Definitely us. We are the ones who gave bribe, took bribe because even leaders and corrupt persons comes from the society, if society is not corruption free then how can you expect to your country to be corruption free.
Yes we can be corruption free but for that we need to work from the root level. There are some countries where corruption was so high that even ambulance only comes on giving bribe to them but then they fought against it and make their country corruption free.
So all we need to do is do our part well, do not be the part of corruption and make the people aware about it. By our continuous efforts definitely we will be corruption free one day.

Since when did humanity accept the absurdity of corruption as a necessary part of government and politicians, no matter what country you care to mention?
I'm fed up with their evil, their greed, their plastic, painted-on smiles, their constant, self-serving lies, their secrecy, the way they back-stab the people, and the 'feathering' of their own personal nests at the expensive of the very people they're supposed to serve. Note the word 'serve'.
It's a pity they don't remember that they're mere "servants" of the people, not 'masters'. Just servants. We, the people, are their Masters and it's high time the world at large rises up to remind these worms of that simple fact.
And while we're at it, let's remember that a servant is not paid more than its Master. A servant does not live in the height of luxury while its Master goes hungry and homeless.

Corruption is one of the deadly, undesirable and wicked sins that has been imposed on the innocent man by some hungry looking monsters. It is omnipresent, almost like a distorted, antithetical version of God for the present times. It doesn't sound euphonious when we hear that it has not only led to the malfunctioning of the administrative system and poor law and order, but also some serious causes like poverty and red tapism, which has led to the society's disability. It has distorted all values and made mincemeat of morality, truth and virtue. It has entered into every single aspect of our lives becoming all-pervasive just similar to the air we breathe. It is growing massively in huge proportions and there is barely any sphere of social, political, economic and even religious activity that is free from graft, fraud and corruption of some kind.

First of all, blaming each other for corruption is not a solution at all. We should keep in mind that directly or indirectly, consciously or unconsciously somehow we all are responsible, whether payer or accepter.
The bug of corruption is slowly eating our entire system and becoming an obstacle for country's development.
We can't expect a fair nd corruption-free environment in present scenario. Actually one of the major reason behind this is lack of ethical and patriotic values among us. Lack of opportunities, lack of sufficient wages provoke one to take bribe whereas greed of achieving desired goal induce one to pay bribe.
I wonder how can a thing which is ruining our country's wealth can bring a fair wealth to us?
If we take initiative at our level by deciding not to take or give bribe, no culprit can force you to do so.

Corruption is something that has become vey common in today's world over the years. Corruption arises due to the greed for money, power and fame. To seek admission in a renowned college or any educational institute we give bribes, to free ourselves from any punishment by the traffic police we give bribes, to make someone do our work that we need to be done desperately we give bribes, et cetra. And what else is corruption ?It has become quite common, and so it is not the politions or the government as a whole or any other BIG man to be blamed.
If we really want to eliminate corruption from our country, it is high time that we, ourselves stop giving bribes and learn to do our work on our own and honestly. I am a devoted supporter of ANNA HAZARE and we all should take efforts like him to eradicate corruption from our country.
