WE WILL NEVER BE CORRUPTION FREE SOCIETY

Number of Participants: 5 Time: 20 Mins Pooja said: A very good morning everyone! I feel very proud to be sitting here for this exciting discussion. I hope this will lead to a very productive exercise. When it comes to predict that whether we will have a corruption free society or not I would say it is not impossible but also very difficult to achieve as I strongly believe that corruption is the price we pay for democracy. !orruption is the abuse of power and conse"uently the people. It not only prevents enough money to go in the poc#ets of the people who need it but ma#es it easy for the politicians to grab it all. $his problem is not only prevalent in India but also in developed countries. %o I thin# corruption is caused by greed which is inevitable pull of emotion in humans. &ishal said: 'ello (riends !orruption is )*$ the price we pay for democracy. $hus it is possible to have a corruption free society. If you thin# about it being a democracy is the only thing that helps us put our views out here. A democratically elected government is answerable to the people through the opposition party. +es there is rampant corruption in the society not just in the government services but also in private sector industries such as %atyam. ,ut thin# for a moment. A lot of money has been looted with a legal chec# on power. What if we had no rights to say what we want to- If there was no opposition who would have pointed out the embarrassing flaws in the ruling party$he corrupt will have a license to do it in the open and a lot more money would be ta#en away from each of us. $hus politicians can also help in discarding corruption from our system. A#shita said: .ood /orning friends What I believe is that it is very easy to say that corruption is unstoppable and crac# jo#es about the corruption in India. ,ut if none of us pay a bribe to anyone try to use monetary power to cut corners this is possible. .overnment agencies might refuse to wor# without your bribe but if

none of us pay a bribe and he still refuses to wor# the whole system will collapse. 'e will not be able to ta#e it after a point. $his doesn0t happen in a day of course but with a clear destination set in our minds we can get there. $his won1t be the first time when a mass public agitation will rise in the country where the government seemed to be in power of everything. What it needs is persistence and non2 cooperation of the public. $hin# of our fight for independence. !orruption was much more rampant and the 3nglishmen were in control of all our government underta#ings. We got them out of the country. It is possible to do that to corruption as well we just need persistence and faith. I also would li#e to mention that if corruption was the price paid for democracy communist nations such as !hina wouldn0t be corrupt and they are ran#ed higher in the most corrupted nations list. ) /anish said: 'ello (riends I believe it is absolutely possible to have a corruption free society as we are the largest democratic country. We have many rights in our hands but as far as corruption is concerned democracy opposes it. If we #now our rights and our responsibilities we can surely throw away corruption from its roots. We have to change at first place because removing corruption is neither a one day job nor a one man1s job. We must stop giving bribe in public offices to traffic police we all must abide by rules and regulation then only the cure of corruption is going to come. 4ushil said: (riends What I believe is that democracy is not the price we pay for corruption but corruption is the conse"uences of unawareness of people towards this everyday topic of life. !orruption has to be stopped in any way and the main thing is to increase the awareness of common people towards this problem of bribes. $he main power that could help in controlling this is the media. It could be the newspaper $& or radio they have to start campaigns against this life ta#ing disease. $hey can contribute a lot in creating a corruption free society. Pooja %aid: $hough India is a democratic country we still have to pay to get what is our right. !orruption is the base for each and every evil thing that happens in India. )owadays we see news full of

corruption scandals by leaders of the country who are ruling the country. !ommon man is responsible for the corruption because he has no options left to complete his wor# without giving bribe. !orruption will not end unless there is awareness among the people regarding the bad conse"uences li#e hi#e in petrol prices 5P. and other daily re"uirements which a common man has to pay for. A#shita said: )ow2a2day we can0t find a place where there is no corruption. ,ut by the year 6767 world0s 879 of the youth will be in India. If we blame others nothing will happen and even corrupt people won0t change. %o we have to be mentally very strong and we must have the determination to ma#e the India the powerful country in the world. $hat means not only in the sense of money but we have to be respected by every person in the world due to our cultures and mind set. If we have the courage to achieve a corruption free society then we will be the number one in the entire world. We should have the confidence that we can achieve anything not only the corruption free society but also whatever we want to change in our society. 4ushil said: )ow if you all will please allow me to sum up the discussion and put forth the important points as discussed. We all agree that it is not impossible to achieve a corruption free society provided we the citi:en of India ta#es an oath that now and in future we will try to ma#e our country a better place to live.
