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.

Corruption we think this word is the subset of government offices. We have some perception that only government body is corrupted. Current situation that even private sector is corrupted. I can prove my point taking a real life example now a days we are using net (data pack) of some telecom company, we face problem during accessing some web. On the other than other web site is working in its normal speed.

This is due the e-commerce company like Amazon, Flip-kart or eBay (these name are just hypothetical) are paying more to telecom companies to give more bandwidth to there web sites and slow down other competing e-commerce sites. Which is in a web is corruption because telecom companies are forcing or dominating us to access that web which they want.

Hello everyone.

I don't find Corruption to be the Price paid for democracy. Corruption is a humongous problem is several non-democratic countries, EG Russia, whereas, in Germany which is a democratic country, it is not a national issue.

Being corrupt is mostly the choice of an individual who is ready to succeed using unethical means. Such a person trades his honor for money. Most of the democratic countries that are suffering due to corruption are because of weak implementation of anti-corruption laws.

For an individual change in thinking is what is needed. But at national level strict laws and non-bailable punishments are needed to prevent the spread of corruption. Democracy is the best way of life and one should not have to pay any price for it.

During elections, politicians distribute money. Consider for a single vote Rs. 500 are distributed per head and people accept it and vote the candidate accordingly for 5 years. That means not even 10 paise per day in 5 years.

Today even beggars don't accept a one rupee and they give people less than that. Our society is itself responsible for corruption, if they don't accept the demands then corruption will never take place. But people just doesn't care and then say our system is bad & corrupted. Instead they can use Democracy to eradicate corruption.

Corruption no doubt cannot be removed without initiative of people themselves. So we cannot blame democracy for corruption, it can rather help to finally root out corruption.

First of all, very good morning everyone and thanks for giving me this opportunity.

Dear friends, we are here to discuss the topic of CORRUPTION.

Dear friends as we know, Nowadays corruption has become a very big issue in our country, and our leaders, officers, police, and other government employees are also involved in corruption friends due to corruption deserving candidates do not get jobs. because jobs are given to those who give bribes for it, so it is a very bad practice in our country.

In my point of view many, times we only offer money to finish our jobs early so we are the real culprits and we should not blame others first of all, we have to change our perspective or mentality to remove corruption.

Thanks.

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.

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.

People make their work by bribe it is called Corruption it means poverty that's rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer.

The main cause of corruption is unemployment low salaries and lack of education. Some people are not able to the post but they get the jobs by money that's they did not work properly. By the corruption, poor Indian citizens do not get the advantage of government schemes. Due to corruption, India did not become a developed country.

Govt. Took many steps to control over the corruption like as Demonetization GST and Jan Dhan yojana etc.

Indian government should make strong anti-corruption laws and Moral education is given by the parents and teachers to the children.

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.
