Corruption is one the major problems faced by India. Along with corruption, there are other major problems faced by India, such as Corruption, Poverty, Black money, Population Explosion, Illiteracy and many other. These problems are somehow correlated with each other. The rapidly rising population causes lack of education and job opportunities, which results in poverty.
Corruption can be defined as the dishonest or unethical conduct by a person entrusted with a position of authority, often to acquire personal benefits. In simple words, it can be understood that when a person who is responsible for a task, he/she misuses that position for his/her own benefits. Corruption may include many activities including bribery and embezzlement. Corruption has impacted Indian economy and government so much that it has its existence from the lower level to the highest level in the hierarchy of power. From a small village Sarpanch to the cabinet ministers in India.
Corruption – A Global Issue
Corruption is not a national problem, it is a global problem. Almost, every country faces it due to which it affects the growth and development of the nation in all aspects like social, economic and political. It has made its base in both developing and well-developed countries. Also, in our country, it is available from the historical time of the Mughal and sultanate period. It is proved from the sources that the ancients also worried about different types of corruption as well, like extortion, patronage, and embezzlement.
From sources, it can be said that there were some rules to punish the corrupted judges or high authority at that time if they are found guilty. Sources say that “The arthashastra by Kautilya suggests that agents provocateurs should be employed to test the honesty of the judges at periodic intervals. According to Vishnu Smriti, a judge found guilty of corruption should be banished and forfeit all his property.” The ancient peoples prevent this situation from getting worse, but nowadays modern India fails to root out corruption from public life.
