This is Aravind. Corruption means giving bribe for the people for "illegal work's". It is started from politics and spread to every citizen of our country. It is not only about money but also activities by people. We bribe for our desires.

Human cannot live without desires to fulfill his desires he need to bribe. Government should take action on the people who are corrupting not only money but also our values and mindset.

Thanking you.

I think when we pay the price for Democracy there we have our own means. We chose such people for leadership who can easily overcome whole Nation and department with money and other resources. And helps those who cannot reach their positions but the support them every possible way either that support right or wrong. Corrupt Politicians easily buy them with money or other tricks. We can destroy such people and Politicians with truth and perfect believe itself that they can do every think what they want to do. Only truth and honesty is the way of prosperity of the of the world.

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.

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.

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 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.

Thank you.

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.

A democracy that defined for people long back is not what people had nowadays nor wanted it. It's everyday survival for citizens. 70% of Indian people are trying to hard to meet ends even if they have 1 lakh per month salary. I say stop dreaming or speaking about an ideal world, false hope, let's face the reality. People in India are not in need of ideal world but trying to fit in the real world. Everyone speaks of what an ideal place we need to live by removing major things like corruption, poverty like want to have lord Ram rule society with up-to-date technology like apple.

We can't prevent corruption, it's a never ending cycle, Just how people started educating girls for change in society, corruption became a change in society just like that which can never be removed. Now we should not worry about corruption because people who talks are people who can't live with society reformed. People are habituated with laziness, power, comforts. They can't live without their lifestyle that was the cause of giving bribe/taking bride.

If a person who rightfully lives according to law can't afford an own house, the best education for his children, fixed asset to enjoy the social life with his family then why shouldn't he take a bribe or receive the bribe to make his life more comfort. Its common people so they don't have sentiment for corruption because they earn money through their business which they earn and try to save but it's not necessary for keeping blame on corruption because society development is not based on entire corruption money, the government can reduce the education cost of private schools so middle class and poor people can afford their children education. It's just reducing the cost of living by govt that people can fit in. The government should show the accounts of how taxes are utilised because its people's money.

Corruption is not the problem but the laws and power of people who uses according to their benefit are the problems for a society which makes rich people richer and poor even poorer. Today I saw in the newspaper that our GDP is 7.9 which is highest in last 5 years. But who knows what is GDP when the poor and middle-class people are struggling for food that fills them for the day. The present society making people crave for money which makes them do anything for their livelihood. In back years corruption is for people who dreams more than what they need but now corruption is for every citizen who wants to fill their basic needs with quality.

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.
