Today everyone is discussing about the word corruption and they try to blame politicians, people in higher authorities, powerful persons, etc. Everyday we hear people used to say that government is corrupt, politicians are corrupt, those who are at higher authorities are corrupt. This is situation.

Now the same people after his/her work is done after paying bribe or by any unfair means again say the same thing. Let's observe the situation, the same people who are against corruption blaming others uses the same corruption method to get his work done. Now who are actually corrupt? The politicians? people who are saying this? or the people at higher authority? I think citizens have tried to change their minds and then corruption can be eliminated. If citizens are not corrupt than politicians have to leave a method of corruption. This is the only way to solve corruption problem. Try to change your minds automatically corruption will be eliminated.

When some people take or give bribe to make their work is called corruption.

According to data, India is among the topmost country where 62%people are giving bribe to officers &76%officers taking bribe from citizens.

The reason behind the correlation:

1. Illiteracy & casteism.

2. Reservation. In India, reserved people prefer to deserved.

3. Lack of resources& low salaries are provided for our people so they are taking bribe for fulfilling their need.

4. The biggest reason behind it is the population.

At last in my opinion, conception is routed in India so it is very difficult to abolish it completely from our country but with the effort of everyone, we can reduce it.

Thanks.

Friends as we know that doing illegal activities leads to corruption.

Corruption not only hampers the development of the country but also it degraded the life of youth.

Due to this many youths not getting the proper opportunities to prove their worth.

In order to curb it, the parents and teachers should teach the children the moral and ethical values of society.

The government has also taken the initiative by demonetising and important schemes like the Jan Dhan Yojana.

In my view, corruption in not the price we pay for democracy. Actually it is the people who encourage corruption. In government sectors, workers are not taking their work seriously and we people pay bribe to get our jobs done well before time. They normally accept in greed of money. So this all depends on us, who are accepting and giving bribes.

Secondly it is the responsibility of each and every citizen (of a democratic country like INDIA) to choose politicians who have good moral character. We have to cast our votes to right people for right job. Transparency should be there at each stage so that people can identify between bad and good. Now a day's no one can have social responsibility.

Even some republic and communist country have corruption. So we can not say corruption the result of democracy had we been democratic in the true sense, we would not have been living with evil as the case is. Corruption is live because we gave birth to it, nurtured it and are now encouraging it to spread its roots everywhere.

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 huge curse, a dirty mindset, a blasphemy of society which is destroying our society. The poor and middle class are hardest hit by corruption. They are most reliant on the provision of public services and are least capable of paying extra costs associated with bribery, fraud and misappropriation of economic privileges.

"With corruption everyone pays.

Who pays?

Don't look far my dear. It's in the mirror in front of you!".

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.

Now a days corruption is the biggest problem. Blaming others is not a solution to corruption free country. Everyone should responsible for corruption but we are not ready to accept it if we want to complete our work quickly we give bribe because time is precious due to these small mistakes arise corruption. If taking bribe consider as a mistake then giving bribe is also a mistake.

So I have to say that a simple line is charity begins at home. Rather blaming others we must change into ourselves and try to create corruption free country.

Thank you.

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.
