Question

How can we eradicate corruption in India??

Answer 1

its just not possible, the social infrastucture is in a terrible mess right now and most importantly it reeks of corruption, and from what i know corruption is not the cure to corruption.

we're talking about a country who elected a fascist party like the bjp to run for government for two terms. as a result of that the hindu-muslim unity goal, that men like gandhi and bhagat singh dreamed of, has been shattered to pieces.

even though government has changed hands, i just dont think that even they can change anything. they cannot stop the lawyer from gathering false evidence to save a rapist, just so he can earn some cash.they cannot stop the  power mad police officer from committing grave atrocities on innocent people, and using his uniform to get away with anything. they cannot stop the pauper, from stealing bread to feed his family as he is not afraid of the law. you cannot stop a rich man from doing whatever he wishes to do so, simply because he has the world's most powerful paper which is money, which could buy many souls. and what about the ignorant masses, who follow the corrupt into seeking an evil cause e.g. modi and his gujarat supporters. how do u stop people from discontinuing evil practices such as dowry, killing newborn girls, prositiution, s*x trafficking. what about village panchayats, where we see old fools who seem to believe they are above the law and seem to think they can pass out any unjust descion about anybody's life, as they wish.

face it, in a nation so big and full of a billion people you cant expect the goverment to keep an eye on every corner of every small and large alley in the country.

even though, i dont think corruption can be eradicated but the government could do a lot more to reduce it. one way to do that is to start curbing police powers. they have far too much power in their hands and something must be done about it. and i think police activities need to be monitored more, as right now i dont think the government are doing that, and that has resulted in police officers doing whatever they want as they please.  and they need to monitor police officers that work in the rural areas of the nation, who are more prone to corruption.

police for me is the main problem, if corruption in the force is immediatley dealt with, then we will see great results. after all its their job to catch criminals and deter corruption. But right now i just cant see how the government will manage it. a man's integrity, honesty and pride can be purchased at a very low price these days, and that includes police officers.

money is the root of corruption, it is the be all, and end all, and im afriad that will not change. even though corruption can be significantly can be reduced, it will not go away.

its not just india, its everywhere, just look at the african nations.

Answer 2

I think Ramkrish has a lot of insight here, but he sounds so hopeless!  If we say, "we have these problems, and we don't know how to resolve them", is that the same as saying, "well, let's just not bother trying?"

Grass roots social change is the only way to facilitate a sweeping modification of society.  It has to start small and pick up steam.  It takes a long time, but you have to start somewhere!

Answer 3

Well, we could first teach them that women's lives are just as precious as men's lives and to quit using sonograms to find out if the fetus is a girl so that the father can have the wife have an abortion just because he wants a son. Stop killing brides for their dowry. Throw out dowry laws. That's a stupid reason for murder. Change the DNA in all humans.......that's like saying how can we change the entire human race, it can't be entirely done.

Answer 4

I have never been to India but all I know is that human characters are all the same, so what ever country we live there are always stories of corruption. The best way to combat corruption is to make it very easy to prosecute corruption by helping and protecting the witnesses and complainants.

Answer 5

When a very old culture breeds corruption, it is the culture itself that has to change. It would take radical changes in thinking and that is the hardest thing to influence.
