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.

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.

Hi everyone.

My name is Taukir.

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 is 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.

Thank you.

To accept corruption is a price for democracy is the ultimate cop-out. It is akin to acceptance of the most violent form of cancer to invade the centre of any living organism, and then to watch from the sidelines as it destroys and desalinates its very essence, or in arguably the best form of governance, as we know, it in the absence of better alternatives.

There can never be an excuse for corruption : It is inexcusable, it is wrong, it is illegal, it forces us to succumb to our basest element, greed. It always violates someone rights and it is indefensible morally or any other sense.

Hello every one, I am Chinmoy.

So, corruption is a think which is never be stop. Because it is a think of human mind, we want our self in first position in any moment or in any activity whatever its any Government office, hospital, school, college, road any where, that's why we don't think for corruption or what we do, is this corruption.

We can't change our mind for our needs. So we do corruption, not as corruption, we do as our help. We first have change our mind. Which is so difficult. That's why I told that 'corruption never be stop'.

If it's stop then good. I wish for stop.

Hello friends.

From my point of view corruption is the biggest problem in our country which is faced by the peoples of our country. In our country all the youth generation wants to get relaxation in every field so they come across or taking help of corruption.

So to remove the corruption from our country every persons especially youth generation should have in there mind to remove corruption from the country by seeing the corruption from grass root level to the major level just to finish corruption is the main aim. By decreasing this the other problems are also getting laid down.

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.

I think when we pay the price for Democracy there we have our own means. We chose such people for leadership who can easily overcome whole Nation and department with money and other resources. And helps those who cannot reach their positions but the support them every possible way either that support right or wrong. Corrupt Politicians easily buy them with money or other tricks. We can destroy such people and Politicians with truth and perfect believe itself that they can do every think what they want to do. Only truth and honesty is the way of prosperity of the of the world.

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.

This is Sudheer, in my view, corruption is just like cancer, Corruption is deep rooted in Indian society, Everyone knows that corruption is a major problem in India. Nowadays corruption spread through India like viral disease. Everyone is getting salaries for their work apart from that somebody wants more and more, But let me tell you the main reason behind corruption. The reason is our unawareness towards our rights, We people don't make full use of the rights that are given to us by our constitution, So if we want to remove corruption then we should start it with us.
