Corruption is the Price we pay for Democracy

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.

Democracy has nothing to do with corruption. Corruption is existing everywhere right from the birth of a child to a person's death everywhere. In public and private sectors so democracy is not to be blamed. Then the question arises is who is responsible for it? The answer according to my opinion is us or to be precise the one who gives bribes. A common life example is a traffic police.

In my point of view corruption is like air pollution which spoils the whole country with in a short period corruption is a thing which can come with from our birth to death for example for getting the birth certificate to death certificate the main root cause of the corruption is reservation according to caste. Instead of reserve according to caste give the job according to their knowledge.

In the private sector like colleges students who are score marks get a seat in the management quota with paying more amount of money to the college how we think he should be a good citizen or uncomfortable persons. My conclusion is if the laws for corruption should be strict and also responsibility people should be remove corruption and also this in the hands of feature pillars of India.

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.

According to my point of view yes. We are actually paying corruption for democracy.

Because today in India corruption is growing like a hulk in the society. Yes from the time of a birth of a child till the death or a person corruption is there. Let's take an example of a traffic police. We don't follow the rules. If we were caught by him we are trying to solve the problem by giving him bribe which is wrong actually corruption is a just like a cancer cell in our body which is spreading its viruses in all over the society.

So being not a corrupt Indian. Its our responsibility to fight against this problem.

Thank you.

According to my point of view corruption takes place in India because all people have habit of corrupted so during elections people demands to politicians for money and reference to do any particular work sometimes the people have reference to do any work easily which people have not any reference they give the money for that work easily and short time I think if the government and private sectors works without any reference and gives the chance every people equally so I think corruption is decreases.

Hello friends,

I would like to say two points on this. First and Foremost, we need to make sure that we will not pay bribe to anyone no matter what happens. Secondly, government should frame a committee comprising of most honest personnel either from defence services or from paramilitary forces which should be active in each state.

They should be given powers to take strict actions against the persons involved whether if they are Govt employees or general public. In a nutshell, when things goes out of control, fear is the key for controlling the situation.

According to me people cannot stop corruption in a democracy as the contestants who stand for the election have a stereotypical nature. If I were to select between a murderer, a rapist and a pick-pocketed would definitely choose the pick-pocketed. But later this person would be a corrupt minister and would do corruption.

It is possible to stop corruption if 98% citizens are against it but to get such an awareness and participation is an ordeal therefore we citizens have to wait until a good, noble and correct person comes to the seat of authority till then enjoy corruption.

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.

I'm Anshuman I study only in 5th grade but it is we who are encouraging this to happen as we are paying bribes.

To get work done faster. In my school we had directed a play on bribing as we included other states of corruption. There are many problems like red tapism, 2G telecom scams, Colgate scams, right to information has also brought down corruption and etc.

Through my point of view I would like to say that we all can make a change and people would not stop because of our saying so I decided we all can put our hands together and make INDIA non-democratic and a proud nation.
