Corruption is the Price we pay for Democracy

Corruption starts when the uneducated people in the country are been given the important right i.e. voting rights. The framers of the constitution in the initial stages if incorporated the rule that only educated people will be given the voting rights the country would not have been in despair. Sit and discuss the qualification for having voting rights in the country in the parliament. But no political party is interested in doing that because everybody wanted the votes of uneducated people by hook or crook i.e. by bribing and then becoming the leaders. Now let us talk about the leaders and their leaders are non-other than the discarded people of the society and fit for nothing citizens.

Hi, I am Faruk.

Today we have got a very important topic "Is corruption the price we pay for democracy?".

A country, like India where anyone can become a politician without having any knowledge just because of family legacy or by some fame. Even celebrities are becoming a politician and we are appreciating it. Why?

There is no filtration process. We give a vote because we have a lot of expectations, a lot of blank areas that need to be fulfilled. But the output is nothing.

Then we realize oh no! we have chosen the wrong leader. Corruption repeats again and again.

We have been keeping suffering the consequences of corruption unless and until we chose the right one.

Thanks.

Hello friends,

In my opinion, corruption is not the price we pay for democracy as it totally depends on the people and administration of any country.

Let's take the example of European countries where democracy is present and still the corruption level there is very low and they all are at top of the happiness index as well. In a similar way if we talk about India the people are here thinks for their sake only not for all the people and country and similar is our administration. From recent data, India was among the top countries in taking bribes.

So, at last, I want to say that if people of a country are responsible and honest we don't face corruption at all.

Thank you.

In my point of view, this topic is related to corruption corruption is like a caner cancer that eats all things thus corruption also eats all things As you know India is a developing country. Corruption is not only in India it spread all over the world.

Corruption is the dishonest behaviour of power and government.

It impacts due to lack of accountability. Lack of truancy of government also.

We have a mindset that corruption is spreading by the upper classes but the role of the poor and middle classes is also equal to that of the upper classes.

The main reason of spread corruption is increasing the population day by day.

Many people are corrupt which is in government.

I have watched corruption being acceptable but not reported.

E.G The public sector insurance companies of India (GIPSA) are already in the competition of luring appropriate authority;.

It is perfectly legal when someone pays the luxurious hotel expenses of the parliamentary committee, it is also legal when gold coins are offered from public funds of the public sector insurance company to the parliamentary committee;.

There is no acceptable definition of a bribe in rules of discipline; it is euphemistically called a gift and an executive of the public sector insurance company is empowered to offer "gifts" more than he is legally competent to accept.

We Indians are very good in many things like caring, loving, working hard, savings, etc by which we are proud to say on the other hand because of our good qualities we just think only about our own family, house, society, etc.

So no one dare to raise correct question to correct person to get reasonable results, instead we give bribe to get our work completed then we speak about corruption, by this statement what I am trying to say is every man and women either direct or indirect responsible for corruption it is not fare to simply put blame on politician or government officer of our democracy system we have to change, we can overtake the corruption.

Corruption is getting increased day by day in our country. Blaming government is not a solution to make 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 the same mistake has done by others then that was a big mistake and creating that as a big issue.

Everyone has this bad habit. Before pointing out the others, we should ensure that we are a correct person to ask or pointing out the others. I conclude that first we should change then try to change the surroundings. This will lead to create a corruption free country.

Well! we and government, both are responsible for corruption. To get our work done quickly, we pay bribes to official workers. But there is a reason behind it. It is red tapism.

People sometime get frustrated and waste a lot of time for their completion of work, to skip this they give bribe, so instead of being hunted by red tapism, we have to take some steps strictly. Strict laws should be framed to stop the corruption.

The worker who show red tape and take bribe, should be punished. We have to protest these type of workers. We can give advice to government for that. All people have to raise their hands with equal voice; Thank you!!

Corruption as by name it means spoiled, it simply defines the spoliation of a country, the reason behind why the corruption has widely spread and affected most of the countries especially our country is because of non transparency in government, my question is people like Anna Hazare who fight for corruption and lakhs of people got involved to fought against it but at last what was the result no Lokpal bill was passed?

So my question is we are living in democracy. But in reality we are living under dictatorship rule. Those few people who are governing us are so powerful that we being million in population cannot rule them out.

Corruption unlike other social evils cannot be uprooted just by a few revelations by media, protests now and then etc. It has laid out its roots so deep that we now view any personnel with authority to be under its influence.

Eradication of corruption completely will be an upheaval task and the whole nation will have to rise against it. It will be only when we instill fear amongst those who practice it, that we'll be up for it and have a chance of making it succumb off existence. This will require mass movements very similar to those in the pre-independence era, the only difference being we'll be fighting our own this time.
