Corruption ruins the country and people like us have to suffer because of corruption. In every work,at every place we find the misuse by government officials of their governmental power for their private gain. It includes bribery,which makes a person difficult to survive in the business world without giving bribes. So people,discuss here what can you do to minimize corruption in your country or how can you fight against it?

Unfortunately, corruption have been around as long as there have been forms of government. And in order to eliminate corruption, you will have to eliminate greed. And greed has been around a lot longer than corruption. We can slowly reduce corruption, by electing officials that have a high sense of morals/values, which will be very difficult to do. I know that there are politicians that feel this way, but it's the others that are to be changed, replaced. The trouble is, finding all of the ones that need to be replaced, and to replace with whom?

It is the system we have built, not anyone else. We are the ones who will erase this also. Start from your home, stop paying people to get your work done in advance than who are lined up for the same. We have to teach our kids from the very beginning that we have to built a corruption free India. We the youth of this country will change this.

Corruption is third world countries problem, in every life activities in the third world now one way or other dealing with corruption,for controlling corruption we have number of laws but ultimately it became toothless. The only method to control the corruption in beaurocracy or other sectors to provide stringent laws for punishment and change the attitude of the governmental officials and politicians if they indulge any sort of corrupt practices they should be enquired and given stringent punishment. But here in India it is open secret that even corrupt practices are also there in judiicial employees. The work is not going to completed in judicial ministralial level employees without satisfying them. We should lauch a worldwide programme to eradicate the epedemic.
