Corruption is the Price we pay for Democracy

My say on this is corruption is just like termite making our system hollow from inside. It has moulded into a great obstacle in the path of development as the whole system is engulfed in this social problem.

The money which is supposed to feature in the development of potential projects has been used as a thing to warm the pockets of government servants. So it is taking a toll on the daily life of a common man living in this democratic country.

Hi friends.

According to me the main reason for corruption is neediness and condition.

Sometimes peoples itself offer others to get their work done and some time people ask for. If we understand the condition and try to satisfy us with time we can stop corruption.

If we stop at the correct time rather than getting indulge in offering money that means we have said no to corruption.

Hello friends,

Democracy means For the people, by the people and to the people. If people got corrupted then it will effect our democracy directly. So corruption should be started from an individual person. We are always blaming others about corruption but when we look at the mirror (the mirror never hides anything) we can see a corrupted person. So corruption should start from us.

During elections, politicians distribute money. Consider for a single vote Rs. 500 are distributed per head and people accept it and vote the candidate accordingly for 5 years. That means not even 10 paise per day in 5 years.

Today even beggars don't accept a one rupee and they give people less than that. Our society is itself responsible for corruption, if they don't accept the demands then corruption will never take place. But people just doesn't care and then say our system is bad & corrupted. Instead they can use Democracy to eradicate corruption.

Corruption no doubt cannot be removed without initiative of people themselves. So we cannot blame democracy for corruption, it can rather help to finally root out corruption.

Hi friends I'm Shashank. Today we are going to discuss about this topic.

In my point of view peoples are the initiators of corruption. If we band this no one can accept the money. Its starting from a clerk to a government officer like a collector. So whenever people stops to give the corruption then only we can eradicate the corruption.

Yes I am agree with that. Corruption exists everywhere in our country. It has appeared as a chronic disease which is letting down India's image in front of the whole world. According to me actually we are quite habituated with that from the clerk to the officer everyone is involved in this dirty game.

And how can we forget the politicians. There are the live examples such as 2g scam, coal block scandal, commonwealth games. These increasing day by day. As the culprits is yet to be punished.

Hi friends.

Corruption is like a salt content which is present along with sea water. It is very tough to remove but it takes more time to remove it. Like wise corruption is very difficult and takes time to remove it. I don't say that salt content in ocean does not occurs naturally. We are the one's who are responsible.

Similarly we are the ones who introduced corruption. When a fresh water living organism is introduced in ocean it is very difficult for it to adopt the new surroundings either it would die or try to adopt itself. Like wise when a fresh candidate is selected, he tries to remove or he changes according to it.

Mostly humans has a mentality to adopt themselves. I do not blame not only the politician's for the corruption we are also involve in corruption. As you or your relatives had been involved in it in any forms of corruption. This is a practical example. We are the source for corruption.

Corruption can be removed from us by changing ourself. Changing means if we go to an government office for a job means we have to wait till our job gets over. We are waiting in the ticket counter for more than one hour then why can't we wait in government office till our job gets finished?

This is an example for changing ourself. There are many things to change in ourself. I am not the person to tell.

I agree with you & it's all are right.

- Corruption has been spreading all over India like cancer.
- Corruption is the biggest weapon for reducing the country growth.

Please stop this and start from our self.

Hello! its very easy to point out someone. But its our mistake by giving bribes for making our faster and easy. And it just a simple start for corruptors, It shows that we are giving a way to corrupt us. The change should come from us only. Corruption will be no more until and unless we respond to people of the nation.

Corruption is happening just for two reasons, either it is for saving the time or it is for making illegal work done. Someone has rightly said that Time = Money, but to same time we are not just spending money but also giving an equal contribution for a deadly disease called Corruption.
