Corruption is getting increased day by day in our country. Blaming government is not a solution to create 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 if the same mistake was done by others then that was a big mistake and creating a big issue on that.
Everyone has this bad habit. Before point out the others, we should ensure that we are a right or eligible person to ask or point out the others. First we should agree our mistakes and try to change our attitude. After that we will try to change our surroundings then this will lead to create a corruption free country.

That statement is so lame it's not the people or democracy that make our politicians corrupt. We need to have more transparency and make these a-holes start being the representatives they took an oath too. Barack Obama and his crony's sure are pieces of work.
What we need to do is stop paying taxes until they come around and imprison these blatant no-gooder when they break the law. We need no more than to term politicians unless over 75% of the people want them to do another term after that the parties over.

In my opinion we must follow the saying "charity begins at home". Rather blaming others for what is not happening, we must look into ourselves and try to create a corruption-free environment. Then only the whole purpose will be solved. And surely the people of our country must know the concept of democracy and try to build a better world!!!!

To accept corruption is a price for democracy is the ultimate cop-out. It is akin to acceptance of the most violent form of cancer to invade the centre of any living organism, and then to watch from the sidelines as it destroys and desalinates its very essence, or in arguably the best form of governance, as we know, it in the absence of better alternatives.
There can never be an excuse for corruption : It is inexcusable, it is wrong, it is illegal, it forces us to succumb to our basest element, greed. It always violates someone rights and it is indefensible morally or any other sense.

Hi friends!
It is not strange if we say India is a developing country and one of the reason for lagging is corruption. It is true that as per the citizen of this country we all have a duty to meet a corruption free environment. But at the same time we cannot neglect role of politicians for creating havoc.
At the time of election they come with a manifesto which is backed for the welfare of citizens but as soon the election ends they put this manifesto in the dustbin and start doing work in which they see their benefit and fill only the pocket of parties.
So we most get united to create corruption free environment and try to catch government employer red handed while they are engaged in wrong doings.

I think, corruption must be equated with insurgency. India has all the human resource potential to stand up to the world but, we constantly lag out from the main arena as corruption hinders our growth. We also do not possess the adequate mechanism to fight this phenomenon. Indians have become so used to with this phenomenon that no one is actually interested to even discuss about this issue.

Hi friend,
According to me, we all live in democratic country here corruption is the biggest problem everyone know. But we have to think from where it is start either lower level or upper level, after realizing some example I get it generally start from upper level. Take this example if one people want to stand for MLA candidate to a famous party like some local stats party in up.
There is demand for giving the ticket it is 2 to 5 crore he take ticket and win the election. Till here everything is good. But after that his first priority is get back the ticket amount. Definitely he will go wrong way. Here corruption birth take place. This chain will go to defiantly lower level. And our country will go to danger. So need to finish it from upper level.

Hi friends!
India is the biggest democratic country in the world. We always feel proud of it. We also having a good ranking in corruption as well. There is not any way of corruption due to democracy. Corruption occurs only due to faulty system. India has great system which has crores of cases pending. A great system which leaves the rapists. A great system which takes years to hang terrorist. A great system which gives admission to 50% holder not to 95% holder etc.
According to me the government should change the structure of constituency. We should have the fast track coats. We should have the strong laws to hang rapists as soon as possible. We should have the system which creates equity in at least education. If the system is changed and become more stronger then corruption can't take place.
We feel that India is one of the biggest population country which leads to corruption due to per person income becomes less. It is not the real fact biggest population is biggest power of our country if the system is changed and made more suitable.

In democracy the power is given to the people. But we cannot Denny that corruption is also because of the people. People biggest weakness is money. Money make people corrupt. The government is the not only reason for corruption.
Democracy gives rights to people to choose their representatives. So now we have right whether we are choosing a corrupt government or a government which will chance the future. Now when we are only making wrong decision that how can we blame democracy for that.

Corruption in a broad sense has become an integral part of the society and system. Not only India but several countries are being affected by this problem. Due to our basic nature we blame everybody but ourselves for this problem. We lack the courage to protest. We try to get our jobs done with minimum effort and in this process we do not mind to bribe the corrupts. From choosing politicians to getting things done in Govt offices we indulge our selfish interests to take the upper hand over our morality. Due to erosion of moral values we are suffering.
So if we want change then we must change ourselves first. Honesty and Integrity are needed in every person. Law enforcement agencies and the Judicial system must have the power to enforce laws and take necessary steps to curb the corrupts irrespective of the stature of the corrupt. If the officials as well as powerful politicians also start fearing the law, they will not dare to bend it and therefore transparency will prevail.
