Corruption in India is a consequence of the nexus between Bureaucracy, politics and criminals. India is now no longer considered a soft state. It has now become a consideration state where everything can be had for a consideration. Today, the number of ministers with an honest image can be counted on fingers. At one time, bribe was paid for getting wrong things done but now bribe is paid for getting right things done at right time

Indian administration is tainted with scandals. India is among 55 of the 106 countries where corruption is rampant, according to the Corruption Perception Index 2004 Report released by Transparency International India. Corruption in India leads to promotion not prison. It is very difficult to catch big shark. Corruption in India has wings not wheels. As nation grows, the corrupt also grow to invent new methods of cheating the government and public

The causes of corruption are many and complex. Following are some of the causes of corruption.Emergence of political elite who believe in interest-oriented rather than nation-oriented programs and policies. Artificial scarcity created by the people with malevolent intentions wrecks the fabric of the economy.Corruption is caused as well as increased because of the change in the value system and ethical qualities of men who administer. The old ideals of morality, service and honesty are regarded as an achromatic. Tolerance of people towards corruption, complete lack of intense public outcry against corruption and the absence of strong public forum to oppose corruption allow corruption to reign over people.Vast size of population coupled with widespread illiteracy and the poor economic infrastructure lead to endemic corruption in public life. in a highly inflationary economy, low salaries of government officials compel them to resort to the road of corruption. Graduates from IIMs with no experience draw a far handsome salary than what government secretaries draw. Complex laws and procedures alienate common people to ask for any help from government.

Election time is a time when corruption is at its peak level. Big industrialist fund politicians to meet high cost of election and ultimately to seek personal favour. Bribery to politicians buys influence, and bribery by politicians buys votes. In order to get elected, politicians bribe poor illiterate people, who are slogging for two times meal.

Is it possible to contain corruption in our society? Corruption is a cancer, which every Indian must strive to cure. Many new leaders when come into power declare their determination to eradicate corruption but soon they themselves become corrupt and start amassing huge wealth.

There are many myths about corruption, which have to be exploded if we really want to combat it. Some of these myths are: Corruption is a way of life and nothing can be done about it. Only people from underdeveloped or developing countries are prone to corruption. We will have to guard against all these crude fallacies while planning measures to fight corruption.

Right to Information should be introduced, which will empower the citizens to ask for the information they want. Barring some confidential information, which concerns national and international security, other information should be made available to general public as and when required. Stringent actions against corrupt officials will certainly have a deterrent impact.

Corruption is an intractable problem. It is like diabetes, can only be controlled, but not totally eliminated. It may not be possible to root out corruption completely at all levels but it is possible to contain it within tolerable limits. Honest and dedicated persons in public life, control over electoral expenses could be the most important prescriptions to combat corruption.

Corruption has a corrosive impact on our economy. It worsens our image in international market and leads to loss of overseas opportunities. Corruption is a global problem that all countries of the world have to confront, solutions, however, can only be home grown. We have tolerated corruption for so long. The time has now come to root it out from its roots.

भ्रष्टाचार विश्वव्यापी समस्या तो है ही किन्तु भारत में ये बीमारी कुछ ज्यादा ही गंभीर हो चली है. हाल ही हुए कामनवेल्थ, 2-जी स्पेट्रम जैसे घोटालों ने ये साबित कर दिया है कि राजनीतिज्ञों और भ्रष्टाचार का चोली-दामन का साथ हो चुका है और देश ने यदि जल्द ही कोई उपाय नहीं किए तो फिर भारत को विश्व पटल पर शक्तिशाली और विकसित देश बनाने का सपना, सपना ही रह जाएगा.राजनैतिक-प्रशासनिक और आपराधिक गठजोड़ भ्रष्टाचार में वृद्धि के लिए सबसे ज्यादा उत्तरदाई हैं और इसमें कमी लाने के लिए जनलोकपाल क़ानून की दिशा में प्रयास किए जा रहे हैं. साथ ही लोगों की अपने क्षुद्र स्वार्थों के लिए भ्रष्टाचार में संलिप्तता स्थिति को और भी गंभीर बनाती है.
