We can not blame the government or system only for corruption. We are also equally responsible for it. People do not think it necessary to complaint against corruption but when they find it is easier to get task completed by giving a little or more money they do not want to lose the opportunity and they contribute in corruption and to make an obstacle in the progress of our country too firstly we should change our mentality situations will be changed then.

According to my point of view, when we use the word corruption, it indicates our selfishness, carelessness, diverting our mind into negative direction and all those things supposed to good for their own survival not for other is corruption.

For example when we purchase a good of worth RS 200 shopkeeper charge only RS 195 and not giving receipts we think we have a profit of RS 5 we this habit leads to corruption.

Hi Friends. I am Raghav and I am here to convey my thoughts about our present topic which is corruption is the price we pay for democracy. This statement connotes that with the good governance form, democracy. We also have to abide its companion, corruption, which comes along with it.

This is the fee we pay for the good governance, democracy. Lets talk about corruption. Corruption is the abuse of power. The person with the power when uses his influence for benefit of himself or some special person it is called corruption.

The most common cause of corruption is believed to be a combination of discretion and accountability. Governments with enormous discretionary power and low accountability are more corrupt than those with less discretion and more accountability. Mainly, there are three forms of government. Other than democracy, the two others are Monarchy and Autocracy. In Monarchy, ruling people is always from a single family.

This is the most common and used form of government for thousands of years. The head of government is called king which has ultimate power. No one can ask question to him about his deeds. As in this system, discretionary power is totally in the hands of one man with no accountability.

This is proved to be very corrupt governance. That's why democracy had replaced earlier popular Monarchy. Monarchy is not very much popular now a day. Only five countries still have absolute monarchy.

Hi friends,

In my perspective corruption is the consequence of weak democracy & lack of good governance. Corruption is lethal from elementary to advanced level. In every election we elect leaders who have been in their solitary worlds seen only during election with their bunch of false promises (manifestos). Our votes turn them into rulers rather than public servants with accountability. Then starts their ignorant reign where cash flows only in top level, leaving middle & lower levels in distraught.

This happens only because we people have forgotten that we are rulers here. They who boast of sitting on the top are our pawns. Corruption can only be removed with moral education which has degrading with time in the rat race of success. Its time to keep apart individual success and seek unified glory.

As a suggestion to change I would like to mention urgent setup and functioning of fast track courts, introduction of national protest helpline to help people to raise voice against any government if necessary overthrow a incapable government, educating the ignorant mass of the importance to stop bribery and a independent body to keep an eye on govt officials, public servants to prevent corruption.

Corruption is not a new topic to discuss. I would like to share my thinking of providing basic facility to all. India have limited amount of currency and obviously every country have limited amount of currency.

But the difference is, they have 100 coins to share among 10 people and India has 100 coins to share among 1000 person. If anybody thinks that the people should get basic facilities, he is correct but the problem is "how can anybody share limited amount of currency among everyone in a huge population".

Above that lot of our country's currency is as black money that nobody has account and remaining white currency is not enough to share among all needy people. Our problem is not providing basic facilities our problem is population, from where all problems arise. Our government has already taken many actions to control population but no benefit, still population is increasing.

Really saying, we have crossed the maximum population in country among other country, but still China is been shown to the top. Actually our country doesn't even have such a strong system that can calculate our population correctly.

Friends,

Corruption: It's a very complicated task to end corruption. I am not sure it must have originated only in India because corrupt people are all over the world. The difference is somewhere is less, somewhere is more.

For example, if a person who is doing private job goes to a Government department for getting his job done. And every time government people tell him that he must come some other day because today concerned person has not come. When he goes other day he faces a problem somewhat like this.

As soon as he comes out of department he finds out that somebody has got his job done because he has paid some money to such and such person. And in his case concerned person has not come in office because he has not given any money to somebody else. So such kind of situation compels him to go through that way.

Conclusion: Some people want to end corruption, some people are supporting it. Unless we unite, our enemies will defeat us.

Hello friends, corruption is the worst thing in our society which makes the people never to move forward. It not allow a good person to do good thing independently. Day by day it is increasing and making the people worthless.

If it will not be controlled then a rich man will always be rich person and a poor family will never be able to be at least a middle family. We can't say about who is making corruption, so we all have to be unique and fight for own adroit.

Hi,

Corruption is one of the worst social evil of our society which is making our country lagging by developed countries. As we all know that our country population have democracy but they are not free for doing anything nor the politicians have I think that their should be various penalties and punishments for those who are promoting and doing corruption whosoever he is as whatsoever post.

Corruption is getting increased day by day in our country. Blaming government is not a solution to make a corruption free country. Everyone should responsible for corruption but we didn't accept that. For example, if the mistake was done by me then I'm not consider that as a mistake but the same mistake has done by others then that was a big mistake and creating that as a big issue.

Everyone has this bad habit. Before pointing out the others, we should ensure that we are a correct person to ask or pointing out the others. I conclude that first we should change then try to change the surroundings. This will lead to create a corruption free country.
