Corruption is the Price we pay for Democracy

This is a funny an absurd prospect in my opinion.

Democracy is for the people, from the people, by the people, corruption doesn't just magically appear, if you live in a society filled with selfish, dishonest and greedy people you end up with selfish, dishonest, and greedy leaders, its a simple as that, and most of us have only experienced Democratic governance so we don't know how bad the corruption is in communism and monarchy, and let me tell you its way worse, at least in democracy corruption can be punished what are you gonna do in a dictatorship, with no free press, and no right to info, and no right to free speech.

Corruption is dishonest behaviour by those in positions of power such as managers government officials.

There are many causes of corruption-.

1. Low salaries are paid in many govt and private sectors.
2. Lack of jobs opportunity.
3. Lack of coordination and control in government Offices.

Corruption is like a virus. It spread not only in our country. It spreads all over the world. We should think ourselves blaming is not a solution to the corruption. Who ever giving the money is the corruption. Whoever asking the money is also the corruption. Corruption was begun from politics. Today's every people are suffering from corruption. My opinion of about corruption if anyone ask bribe for any certificate etc then we should complain to ACB this is my idea of corruption free environment. Today's situation is different government employers more involved in bribe than private employers. The government was given everything to government employers again they want to take the bribe. The government should take action severely who have been taking the bribe. My last point to say Government should punish severely who are being involved on bribe and also people's mind also should be changed automatically India become free corruption country.

Corruption is a word that means dishonest and wicked. Almost every citizen of this country is corrupt.

The people who give some amount of money to someone else, so that their work can be done quickly. Those people are corrupt.

Only the people who do not work for the government are not corrupted. Even the people who work for the government are corrupt.

Even the politicians are corrupt.

In most cases, corruption is done by the people who have powers given by the government.

Corruption starts when uneducated people stand in elections and are given powers.

For India the huge population, high rate of taxation, etc. Are mainly caused by corruption.

To stop corruption, the government should make anti-corruption laws and take strict actions against these activities.

I would like to conclude by saying that corruption has to be eradicated completely. Then only we can attain economy growth of our nation.

We all are familiar with the term corruption which basically means giving bribe to people for doing things which is illegal. I think the main problem of corruption is the mindset of people. In India there are no strict laws against corruption. I think the first thing should be to make strict laws by government against corruption.

We should change our mindset that bribing saves your time instead takes more time. I would like to conclude by saying before blaming others we should improve our minds and together make India a corruption free country.

Hello friends,

In my point of view, corruption just starts from a common people like us. Yes because the politicians are entered to politics just as a business and to earn money, where do they get money. From the government employees. And of course we are paying and giving to government employees and they themselves sharing as to get the invested money that they have put for a government job they are sitting in. So while is the government employees. Of course, we are, So the money people pay to get a good government job to the politicians and again the same government employee get from people like us to equalise to invested amount. So in my point of we are only responsible for corruption. So there is nothing will happen in blaming others or politicians. In order to reduce corruption each and every citizen in India plays a role. It just starts for birth certificate to death certificate.

We as a people and Indians should raise voice against corruption or bribe. That is the only ways we can reduce corruption or even eliminate corruption.

Democracy is a government of the people, for the people, and by the people -Abraham Lincoln.

Democracy means rule by the people to ensure that every citizen takes part in the decision-making process either directly or indirectly through elected representatives. India is the largest democracy in the world. In the last more than 6 decades it has worked successfully well to some extent. But in modern India, it has to face many challenges that need to be tackled in order to ensure true democracy. These challenges should include social and economic inequalities, poverty and unemployment, Illiteracy and ignorance, casteism, communalism, population explosion, regionalism, corruption, and terrorism, taking drugs etc. I do agree with you all but what I feel is CORRUPTION is not only an issue but it is the drugs which every individual is consuming. As everyone is affected by CORRUPTION. So blaming each other is not the solution to it, we all should come forward and destroy its root.

Let those root may be anyone. We must report to police if we see anyone taking any thing as a bribe. If police are asking for the same approach to higher authority.

The main point is that it has to be eradicated completely. Then only we can attain economic growth of our Nation.

Corruption is the price we pay for democracy because we our not paying taxes then purchasing power is going very high day by day and many political leaders are using money and muscle power for win the election or slowly corruption are going very high and prices are also high.

Hello friends.

I am Rahul.
I agree all of you points.

Corruption is like a very weapon because now a day corruption is day day to life provide a harm for you life and it's create a lot of things and issues, thus my point of say that many people wants a job now a days and still money are very weakness provide.

So that without money we are not create a good in our life.

Hi Friends,

Nothing alone in itself is bad and no one alone is responsible for the corruption that it today in our society?

Do you think that Democracy is playing a role in the corruption or you don't think so?

But let me tell you something "if there is a piece of Diamond on the road and you find it, it must belong to someone but would you try to find the real owner and will hand over it to him? despite the fact, this diamond has life changing value for you?

Now you need to answer me that, and in today's life how many your friends will praise you if you return the piece of Diamond?

From the time we born to the day we die, we have surrounded by rules that we follow, some are natural some are from God and some others are the one that we make it run the society in a better way.

I do agree that to all that we are the part, as we are part of the democracy, and we are part of the system, so finally it means that when we say that corruption is the price we pay for the democracy, then there is a problem in the system. That system today that we see is a democracy but you could give it to it any name. We have a problem in it because we see people are escaping from the rule of law. They are sure that you can't do anything even if the steal your money, they can kill you, rape you, humiliate you. There is a gap in the system and we are not taking measures to fill that gap.

So end of my conversation, that the biggest problem is that we are losing ethics, we don't have in place proper laws, and to implement those laws we have poor mechanisms in place and for that, we need people who accept that the problem is in us and find ways to fix it.
