Corruption in India

INDIA, a country of love, happiness, festivals, people and CORRUPTION. Yes the word corruption seems to be small but in INDIA it has a great and vast impact on INDIA. Now everything in India seems to be corrupt whether it is or not. Now a days when anything happens that was not expected Indians feel it as a result of corruption.

Just like the famous saying “charity begins at home”, In India “we say corruption begins with politics”. Politicians are the worst at corruption, they are assigned to remove corruption but they are the sowing seed for the same.

It is a no brainer that Corruption in India is at its rampant best. There is not one section of the society that is spared from it. Corruption in the form of bribery takes the cake and given that it begins at the grass root level makes it even more difficult to monitor and control

Corruption is one problem that has been highlighted far and wide by the media over the past many years. Corruption not only has become a pervasive aspect of Indian politics but also has become an increasingly important factor in Indian elections. The extensive role of the Indian state in providing services and promoting economic development has always created the opportunity for using public resources for private benefit.

Now India is so addicted to corruption that everything goes roundabout money and corruption. Without giving money to corrupt people you just cannot have your work done. Everything, every work and every one needs money to do every work. Like if you want to get a government or private job, give bribe, If you want to get your child into a college for studies you need to bribe, give money and win your cases in judicial courts, give money and get your driving license, give money and get yourself transferred to a better place, give money and get yourself promoted, and that money goes to everyone, it is like a chain, every person is involved in that system of corruption.

It is embarrassing that billions of dollars are being spent on electing leaders who do nothing more than succumbing to taking bribes after getting elected.

Everybody says that every individual should start their war against corruption individually but practical it is not possible. Because now corruption has started to flow like blood in veins of corrupted people. Once Mahatma Gandhi dreamt of a Great INDIA, full of values and without corruption but he might not be happy after watching the scenario

What an individual can do is to create awareness of any corruption event happened with him/her and let more and more people know what had happened to them. In this way more and more people will come to know where things are going wrong so well the media will know.

Despite all this, the main problem with enforcement of the strict laws for corruption is because the political parties in power, even though they are ever enthusiastic to curb this problem, are helpless till the time the common man strives to eradicate this problem.

As long as there will be people willing to pay under the table, the demand for the same would exist, and the country would never be able to get rid of this PROBLEM.
