Taking money illegally from someone is called corruption and extortion. It is becoming much social evil day by day. It is not a new phenomenon in our bureaucratic system rather it has been prevalent since ancient time. Corruption has made not only a big hole in our system but also it is ruining our system as well as poor people. Corruption is a worm that is eating our society and system. The responsible for this corruption system is our politician, police, and senior post officer.

Hello my dear friends in my point of view corruption is not at all a necessary evil for success in any sphere of life. First of all the mindset of people should be changed common people should stop bribing the officers and those who take bribe, then strict actions should be taken against corrupt officers and they should be punished by the court then only some fear will occur in their minds. In this way we can stop corruption.

Hello friends !
CORRUPTION- which has now been the most interesting topic in media-news. Its not OK just to sit in front of tv and enjoy watching news showing how much corrupt our govt-private sectors are, we should not only waste our time in blaming them but know that each and every common man is also equally involved in it. Maybe we can't prevent it to happen but take some steps to control it. In order to do this, the younger generation which is the future should be taught about the VALUES and IMPORTANCE of each and every field, about the country etc which helps them get inspired and disencourage them in future to get involved in it. Hope to see a not just a developed but also a corruption free India !

Corruption is something which we all should avoid, for our country to become a developed nation. Most importantly to make it a truth today's youth is required to take the effective step in this direction.
Moreover, it is also necessary to educate and inculcate such values in the younger generation that with span of time they know what is good for the betterment of their future.
Beside this we should also take initiative to come forward and set an example for others.
As @Mr Tej was saying that he would be one to come in front and I myself support that opinion.
But what about others, are they ready to take steps for this cause.

I think corruption is the most biggest evil that has taken place in our our society and systems. It is the major resistance in the development of our country. If we have a look at the leaders and government employees, would find that bulk of them are corrupted. So whatever amount of fund is allotted by government for the welfare of the country, are not utilized for the purpose rather these are kept by them and very few percent of it reaches to the society. If this kind of things will happen then how can anyone think about development.
Also, bribery is the major problem for which local people are responsible. For this government should increase the punishment so that if any is caught person taking bribe or giving bribe, pay large for mistake and never repeat it again.

First of all, we human beings are not perfect. Without doing corruption, one cannot survive. So corruption is a necessary evil for sucess. When we do things by legal way, we do the amount of corruption that is allocated to us.
When we do things by illegal way we do corruption more than that allocated to us and that is wrong and selfish. So, the conclusion is, "Corruption cannot be eradicated fully but can be eradicated to a large extent when all citizens live life by legal way".

In my perspective, the corruption is caused by both the giver and the taker. It should be taken as the crime for shortcuts of the processes because many times we people pay bribes to make our jobs done early.
If common people stop paying bribes the corruption will automatically eliminated.
So instead of blaming each other we need to change ourselves and ensure that we should not get involved in this social evil.

Corruption causes to increase of black money in any country. India is the no.1 country in corrupted countries all over the world. Corruption was avoided by increasing ACB rides and CID and CBI inquiries by the government. The major problem in India is corruption. The currency printed by the reserve bank of India is processed through people and it is a reversal by paying the tax.
Example: Income tax land tax etc.
So there is a money which is unpaid tax money is there at government employees over the countryside and also in the form of 'Binaamis', the currency was printed by the government is process through the employees all over India in the form of salaries. Then it is the reversal to the government in the form of life taxes ad income tax etc.

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. :).

First I am very thankful to giving me this opportunity to share my feelings about corruption. I would like to claim my self because we are responsible for it. We all are part of corruption. Without a common man and a politician there is no corruption. India is in the 7th place in corruption. In today's life not only govt sectors, private sectors are also in the race. So please take initiation with your own and make India as, a corruption-free country. It is not impossible to eliminate the corruption but it is reduced to some level.
