Corruption is an act of misuse of government's power for other services that

was not under law and public integrity. In some instances it can be a way of
bribery, graft, money laundering and embezzlement. Some corrupt elected
Government officials were actually proven guilty, however they are left
unpunished. Now the question is, Will our justice systems works against
corruptions? Or will the offenders get out without receiving sanctions and
retaliation for their acts?
The way Indian blast terror stuff is occurring in a sustained manner, it does no
t look corruption can be contained, let alone eradicated. In fact, the corrupt e
lements use terrorism as an opportunity to further their resourceful drives. Cor
porate lords have a stake in proliferating corrupt practices in India.
In the name of secrecy on issues like foreign policy and security, the deceptive
Indian leadership secretly promotes corruption by indulging in select briberies
. Not even the the Parliament that claims to be the supreme has any right or con
trol over official briberies, shared ably by many bureaucrats and politicians bo
th inside India and abroad. In arms deals, or Kashmir issue, for instance, huge
bribes India offers to lobbyists and other agents for ensuring foreign support!
If we can stop printing currency and coins, it would be a revolutionary attempt
to save our country. This can make India, free of corruption and accelarate our
transition towards developed country status.
The same sort of thought process would have happened when ATMs or eBanking start

Corruption has various facets that need to be handled separately to maintain pro
per governance. The first thing is to increase the literacy rate. Illiteracy is
the main barrier to development and corruption strives on it. The next issues to
be addressed are increasing population and poverty and resultant unemployment.
We need a better leadership from the front and all the people need to be aware o
f whats going on with the economy.
