Corruption is the Price we pay for Democracy

A democracy that defined for people long back is not what people had nowadays nor wanted it. It's everyday survival for citizens. 70% of Indian people are trying to hard to meet ends even if they have 1 lakh per month salary. I say stop dreaming or speaking about an ideal world, false hope, let's face the reality. People in India are not in need of ideal world but trying to fit in the real world. Everyone speaks of what an ideal place we need to live by removing major things like corruption, poverty like want to have lord Ram rule society with up-to-date technology like apple.

We can't prevent corruption, it's a never ending cycle, Just how people started educating girls for change in society, corruption became a change in society just like that which can never be removed. Now we should not worry about corruption because people who talks are people who can't live with society reformed. People are habituated with laziness, power, comforts. They can't live without their lifestyle that was the cause of giving bribe/taking bride.

If a person who rightfully lives according to law can't afford an own house, the best education for his children, fixed asset to enjoy the social life with his family then why shouldn't he take a bribe or receive the bribe to make his life more comfort. Its common people so they don't have sentiment for corruption because they earn money through their business which they earn and try to save but it's not necessary for keeping blame on corruption because society development is not based on entire corruption money, the government can reduce the education cost of private schools so middle class and poor people can afford their children education. It's just reducing the cost of living by govt that people can fit in. The government should show the accounts of how taxes are utilised because its people's money.

Corruption is not the problem but the laws and power of people who uses according to their benefit are the problems for a society which makes rich people richer and poor even poorer. Today I saw in the newspaper that our GDP is 7.9 which is highest in last 5 years. But who knows what is GDP when the poor and middle-class people are struggling for food that fills them for the day. The present society making people crave for money which makes them do anything for their livelihood. In back years corruption is for people who dreams more than what they need but now corruption is for every citizen who wants to fill their basic needs with quality.

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.

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 .

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.

Hi, friends I'm Sumit.

Corruption makes our life hell because, if you are going to do any governmental work there is longer procedure & we will not stand for train come to the station, carry us and a light to the destination. So we offer bribe to government workers, this shows that corruption starts by our side if we want to stop it so try from today.

Thank you.

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.

Corruption is not the thing which we are seeing now. It has already gone deeper. Whatever laws they make it's not possible to eradicate corruption system, it should begin with each and every person in the country. Govt employees should pay bribe to politicians for almost everything. To manage this govt employee will in turn take the bribe from common people, we common people give bribe so that our work will be put forward soon. So it's all inter-linked. Definitely, it's possible to put an end to this dirty corruption but it must begin with common people like us.

We are corrupted. How will we end the corruption? Rating voice, How? In social media, Candlelight walking. Does it matter? Voice will be crushed under the huge gigantic corruption. Then, We need to unite but humans can't be united until a bigger threat for humanity arises to destroy the human race. Till the threat announced. We the human being will be same like from the beginning.

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 not in our politics, it is in our system. To remove corruption, we need to eradicate it from the roots. There are many scams like Commonwealth games scam, 2G scam and much more.

In a democracy, there is more corruption than kingship or dictatorship. In Dictatorship, the country faces a lot of problems but their development is more than democracy.

Every month we read or came to know about that some are caught when trying to be bribed. But there are many who are today also not caught by the police in the case of corruption.
