Corruption is the Price we pay for Democracy

Corruption means getting something through unjustified means. The ten rupee note that policemen own by illegal means to the huge scams of hundred crore rupees that the corporate businessmen own by illegal means is said to be a part of corruption. It's a kind of deterioration that leads to falsehood and deception.

India today faces a number of problems and corruption is the gravest among them. Being a Keralite, I would like to talk on the condition of Kerala. One of the completely literate state in our country, keralalites are considered to be literate. Even then the govt institutions prove to be a place where the honest and sincere people need to roam about for peace and happiness. This condition is not just confined to poor people who are in need of loans but it extends to the honest and sincere police officers of various investigation agencies. I think that's the reason why many cases are yet lying unproven and on having a glance at the cases that are to be proved like Abhaya case, Sampath custody murder case, and so on the power of the top investigative officers who are involved in it directly or indirectly trying to escape from these cases and making the subordinate officers to not disclose the truth is clearly evident. Just have a look at the economic condition of India. Even after the glorious completion of sixty years of independence, our country is considered to be a developing nation, but a completely sovereign socialist republic and democratic nation.

We can't misinterpret our democratic set up because compared to the autocratic setup in China our country is having a great outlook for the concerns of the common man. Developments can't be compared to autocracy or democracy alone. It is linked with the correct govt set up with corruption less people. Thus Singapore which is one of the most democratic and well-developed countries with no corruption proves to be a fine role model for our country. Since our country is a nation with so many cultures and many other diversities, if we could build a nation which is corruption less, then it's no time that our nation too will be one of the major superpowers in this world.

This is a funny an absurd prospect in my opinion.

Democracy is for the people, from the people, by the people, corruption doesn't just magically appear, if you live in a society filled with selfish, dishonest and greedy people you end up with selfish, dishonest, and greedy leaders, its a simple as that, and most of us have only experienced Democratic governance so we don't know how bad the corruption is in communism and monarchy, and let me tell you its way worse, at least in democracy corruption can be punished what are you gonna do in a dictatorship, with no free press, and no right to info, and no right to free speech.

Corruption is the way to ruin the country, society and people those who want to be a super power man while taking bribe. It's not the fine of democracy which is paid my poor people. In reality, it's the good way to go to hell by any corrupt person.

Many people believe that corruption will be reduced if the punishment is given to those who are corruption but corruption is caused due to giver and taker. I think it is practiced in govt. Offices more than private offices. If we eliminate the corruption everybody should become motive for it.

Hi, friends.

One of the main terror that the developing countries such as INDIA is facing is corruption. The actual fact is that we all are supporting it somehow directly or indirectly. Every office welcome us warmly that "Receiving, demanding, offering presents are crime". But what happening is just the reverse. So, in my opinion, we must seek the help of medias to solve and wipe out the terror from our nation and make INDIA a corruption free state.

JAI HIND!

Corruption is a one of the biggest problems before a developed country. Corruption like that a computer virus. Virus hangs a computer system, as well as corruption, destroy a nation development. Jai Hind.

Corruption is very dangerous one. It is a form of unethical conduct, corruption in India is an issue that effects the economy. Not only in India in many countries it is daily life and every where. In present it is more. For example, when the politics time is near by the politicians are very crural and using the public with corruption.

In the present scenario, we Indians are paying corruption as the price of democracy. Our country has a very well constructed administrative structure. Me being a south Indian I am pretty sure that none of us would have bought our birth and community certificates for free. We are forced to pay a minimum of Rs. 250/- or above as a bribe to tasildars and intermediates. So the corruption starts from the basic block of our nation. We are having the mentality to go around with corruption. Though there is an anti-corruption department the number of cases being filed and investigated is less than the number of corruptions taking place. The reason I consider this situation is because of the delay in judgment and weight of the punishments given to those who involve in corruption. So the victim of corruption gets discouraged and this makes the citizens go with corruption.

So corruption can be vanished only by hardening the law and giving a value based moral education to the students. Such that they become moral and brave citizens in the future.

Corruption is the price we pay for democracy because we our not paying taxes then purchasing power is going very high day by day and many political leaders are using money and muscle power for win the election or slowly corruption are going very high and prices are also high.

I have watched corruption being acceptable but not reported.

E.G The public sector insurance companies of India (GIPSA) are already in the competition of luring appropriate authority;.

It is perfectly legal when someone pays the luxurious hotel expenses of the parliamentary committee, it is also legal when gold coins are offered from public funds of the public sector insurance company to the parliamentary committee;.

There is no acceptable definition of a bribe in rules of discipline; it is euphemistically called a gift and an executive of the public sector insurance company is empowered to offer "gifts" more than he is legally competent to accept.
