comment on the topic "Save India from Corruption"

Answer 1

India, mostly in recent years, has become popular around the world because of the various scandals and corruption issues that have broken out in the power corridors of the country. Corruption has been a part of India ever since its birth. Corruption is not just something that is associated with politicians and businessmen, corruption is a problem in India that exists in all the levels, right from ministers to watchmen. Basically let us answer a few questions,

What is corruption?

Corruption is an act of dishonesty and a criminal offense conducted by a person or a group of people or an organisation by abusing and taking advantage of their power and position of authority. This means that anything unethical done, for the greed of money, which is beyond the boundaries of the legality of the land, will be termed as corruption. Corruption can be on various levels. A minister taking bribes to provide a license for a businessman, a pion taking kickbacks and bribes to let you inside a government office, a doctor taking a bribe from you to provide you with a fake medical certificate are all the different levels of corruption. One thing we should remember is, giving bribe is as bad and unethical as taking a bribe. Whether the bribe is Rs. 10 or Rs. 10,000 crore does not matter, a bribe is a bribe.

Corruption in India is an issue which affects the economy of central, state and local government agencies in many ways. Corruption is blamed for stunting the economy of India.[1] A study conducted by Transparency International in 2005 recorded that more than 62% of Indians had at some point or another paid a bribe to a public official to get a job done.[2][3] In 2008, another report showed that about 50% of Indians had first hand experience of paying bribes or using contacts to get services performed by public offices, however, in 2019 their Corruption Perceptions Index ranked the country 80th place out of 180, reflecting steady decline in perception of corruption among people.[4][5]
