do you think so? how can we remove it ? Are we also responsible for it by not doing any effort to overcome and eradicate this problem?

Yes I agree corruption is a major unsolved problem of this country and the world. I think only way to beat this is make right of information mandatory-makje the records availbale on the web to be easily accessed by public to read. WHat tenmder was passed how t was pased, who got what petrol pumps and why? Politicians should have their assets listed on the web not only their but alos of their family and especially nephews and nieces-I am not saying list their accounts but yes their worth in assets should be their. Make their activities public, they are public figures and what have they accomplished so far should be published on web with readers enabled to comment on it.They shgould be answerable to public on daily basis. I think that is a must.

Mansha you have given a fantabulous suggestion.Transpancy is sure to reduce, if not totally eradicate, this disease. Thumbs up for this terrific reply.

corruption is something which we find it difficult to eradicate from our country. If we look into the opeartion of the governments of other countries we find that it is almost corruption free (may be there are scams). I think that is the reason they are all far ahead of us. So i think corruption is still crippling our economy.

corruption.... not easy to remove unless people who bribe understands it.. ppl braeks law all the time.. driving vehicle without helmet, breaking signals.. and when u get caught.. bribe the traffic cop.. so its not that cop needs to understand and behave properly.. its US who should actually stop bribing them, if they insist still you should not bribe them.. and instead warn him for his act and file complaint against him.

Yes ,educating people of its harmful effects will atleast ensure that they will try to fight it at least on personal level by not being a party to it.

Well!i strongly believe that mammooth curruption in our country is the most important reason crippling our economy and progress.If you had seen the film "Indian"starred by kamal haasan this message is strongly conveyed.Only if we Indians wake up to this social hinderance,it can be removed.We can contribute by not being currupt ourselves!

Yes. It is still the main problem we are facing. We need to know that every Indian is responsible for his / her act. We should take a combined effort to eradicate corruption in the country.
