Corruption is the Price we pay for Democracy

Hi, everyone.

I think corruption has very little to do with democracy rather it arises because we have been failed till now to implement the laws and provisions made in our constitution for the people. Democracy provides power to the people what kind of rule they want it solely depends on people it can be understood by an example as a powerful man I will cheat you only when I know you can't do anything against me or you don't know how to take action against me. So we need to create more awareness among people and we should try to teach some ethics, feeling of nationhood in our curriculum and moreover that very strong institution to implement laws. And young generation should come forward to eradicate corruption within their scope. And also, we can use technology to stop corruption.

Many people believe that corruption will be reduced if the punishment is given to those who are corruption but corruption is caused due to giver and taker. I think it is practiced in govt. Offices more than private offices. If we eliminate the corruption everybody should become motive for it.

We are living in an era where illegal is legal, corruption is democracy and you have to agree with it that power and money is the only truth rest all are just a lie.

Hello all, this is Karuna.

According to me, not only government we are also involved in corruption.

For e.g: Suppose a person is trying its hard to pass a exam or for getting a job but he/she fail to entry in particular one, so he/she will start thinking about what is wrong with his/her and their family also want to know, is that system in taking money to another people for selection, if they find yes then what they will do, they also want the job or pass the exam.

So what people are doing not even thinking about how to stop that type of system even the mentality is that, if there is possibility then we will also give money for our children and for such things they even don't realize that they are doing wrong thing. They feel like that this system is corrupted not we. So this is the mentality of our citizen.

I agree with many of you but I think there is no role of democracy in this its the government that has two faces one of disguise in front of us and the other that's the real one. Most of the people involved in politics are corrupt. They do not join politics for the development of the country but for money also many of them in the face of politicians do illegal works and because they have power no one can say them or ask them for what they do.

Corruption is a big problem of every country but some country more effected of corruption but buy. We want to think on this point according to my view, government make the very hard low opposite of corruption person.

Jai hind.

We can not blame the government or system only for corruption. We are also equally responsible for it. People do not think it necessary to complaint against corruption but when they find it is easier to get task completed by giving a little or more money they do not want to lose the opportunity and they contribute in corruption and to make an obstacle in the progress of our country too firstly we should change our mentality situations will be changed then.

In my opinion we must follow the saying "charity begins at home". Rather blaming others for what is not happening, we must look into ourselves and try to create a corruption-free environment. Then only the whole purpose will be solved. And surely the people of our country must know the concept of democracy and try to build a better world!!!!

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.

In my opinion, in Social sphere, corruption discourages people from working together for the common good. Frustration and general apathy among the public result in a weak civil society. Demanding and paying bribes becomes the tradition. It also results in social inequality and widened the gap between the rich and poor, civil strive, increased poverty and lack of basic needs like food, water and drugs, jealousy and hatred and insecurity.

So it's we the denizens of India who can develop it .
