Corruption is the Price we pay for Democracy

We are living in an era where illegal is legal, corruption is democracy and you have to agree with it that power and money is the only truth rest all are just a lie.

Corruption is a word that means dishonest and wicked. Almost every citizen of this country is corrupt.

The people who give some amount of money to someone else, so that their work can be done quickly. Those people are corrupt.

Only the people who do not work for the government are not corrupted. Even the people who work for the government are corrupt.

Even the politicians are corrupt.

In most cases, corruption is done by the people who have powers given by the government.

Corruption starts when uneducated people stand in elections and are given powers.

For India the huge population, high rate of taxation, etc. Are mainly caused by corruption.

To stop corruption, the government should make anti-corruption laws and take strict actions against these activities.

I would like to conclude by saying that corruption has to be eradicated completely. Then only we can attain economy growth of our nation.

I my opinion, corruption is not related to Democracy or non-democracy. Because in democracy at least we have the right to expose or report corrupt activities even if it is done by the government itself or by their employees. Supreme court, high courts are there to listen to us but the process is little time consuming so people choose not to report, it is a choice of an individual. We see that countries like China (where communism works behind the curtains of democracy) are no better than us, it is ranked equivalent to India in corruption perception index of Transparency international and people can't even raise there voice against the system. Whereas countries with successful democracy like US, Germany, Denmark etc. , have the lowest corruption rate. In democracy at least there are opposition parties to keep a check on the ruling party and their corrupt activities. So, democracy gives us a tool, it is up to us how we use it.

In India, majority of the corruption is spreading because of people with power in public services who demand money and lazy people who do not have patience & try to evade the due process for any of their work by the means of a bribe (eg. Driving license processes are so corrupt), but things are changing with the increasing digital services and corruption is decreasing. So individuals need to develop their mindset and that's how the country can progress.

Actually corruption is the word whose meaning is dishonest and wicked.

These types of activities can take place in both types of government democratic as well as the monarchy. Depends on our internal mentality.

It is not necessary that politicians and riches are only corrupted, it starts from our own.

Corruption can be seen in our daily activities also in the middle class and poor class.

From someone, taking a bribe to do work, think own above the law are certain activities which introduce the word corruption.

In most cases, these type of activities comes with power.

We can minimize and can also abolish these types of activities from the root by stopping our own corrupted activities.

Govt. Should also have to make anti-corruption laws and take a strict foot against these activities and have to think to improve our economy.

Hi this is Samyuktha.

So, friends in my point of view that corruption means to take the money from the other people through illegal activities.

Some people are corrupting through the goods and by selling the eating items in the market.

Some people having greedy in the money and they are losing the lives of the other people.

They are fixed mentally by performing these activites they can earn money.

Some countries like USA also a democratic country these type of activities are very less in that country.

Like that also we should develop our country by eradicating these type of activities. Firstly if the country develops then only we can develop.

To eradicate these type of activities and to develop the change in the people in the democratic country.

They have to think about the economy of our country property.

Its not right to blame all the times the government.

So I conclude that the every people has to change and lead our country into a developing country.

Well. I think not. There are many other reasons for corruption as well. There are democratic countries in the world with very low level of corruption.

I think it depends totally on the mentality of people, economic condition of the nation, government policies and much more.

USA is also a democratic country but a minimum rate of corruption I guess.

For India the huge population, high rate of taxation these things mainly causes the corruption I think.

Corruption is directly related to the economy because flowing of money increases than the price of products is increasing and finally, a number of families not survive easily in our life and farmer goes for suicide.

Hello Everyone.

In my opinion, Corruption is not the outcome of Democracy because it can arise anywhere whether we have a democracy or monarchy. Even if our country is not democratic still people find out a way how to take hush money from others. "GREASE THE PALM" corrupted people want their plam to be greased with money.

The main factor which is responsible for this corruption is us. We always blame others but we never see ourselves.

For example: In market, Sellar tells different price for same thing for one person price is something and for other price is different.

So, if we really want to extirpate Corruption from our country we have to work from our own home. We have to think about our country. If our country develop then definitely we will develop.

In my point of view, corruption is not the price that we are paying for the democratic country. We all know it very well that democratic is having its advantages and disadvantages but corruption is the thing of which we are only one who all are responsible.

Reason? Why are we all responsible?

Because we all are running behind money. We do not have sufficient time for ourselves to make our passport, visa, driving licence. Etc. For all this thing we like to give preference to give bribe instead of waiting for long time to give our time instead, we like to take help of an agent and definitely agent ask for commision plus bribe. This is today world scenario.

How can we stop corruption?

We have to start from our own house. We have to try to do all our works ourselves and we have to teach the same thing to our children also. By this, we can give our contribution for the growth of the nation and in the long run, it will help to improve the mentality of people who are taking a bribe that it is not an option for anyone.

To conclude I would like to say that taking bribe and giving is a crime. We have to think about our country and laws. We should try to follow all laws because of all this laws and rules for our benefits only. We have to stop thinking about giving and taking bribes. We should think about developments of our country by paying tax on time and doing all our work with honesty. After all proverb is their "HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY".

If we see a global corruption perception index of 2013 India was ranked on a 94 position which means before coming Narendra Modi and after the demonetization fishing the news of 22nd February India ranked 81st on a global corruption perception index so definitely the national level are becoming strict laws and a non bailable punishments are needed to prevent the spread of the corruption.
