Will the anti -corruption movement bring change to India?
Posted on August 19 , 2011 by Manasi Kakatkar-Kulkarni

Cooperation The Story of Two Immigrant Entrepreneurs

Over the past week, the anti-corruption movement led by Anna Hazare has spread spontaneously and captured the attention of a cross section of people globally. While the supporters run in hundreds of thousands, there is no dearth of critics of the movement as well. One of the most bizarre arguments against it is that the movement could damage the democratic fabric of the country. How a democratically sanctioned form of protest could damage the democratic fabric is beyond me. Not to mention the personal character attacks that even the Manmohan Singh government could not resist launching. For many cautious supporters-cum-critics the movement is a massive display of hypocrisy. The very people who are party to corruption (mostly as bribe givers) are today out on the streets supporting Anna Hazare and protesting corruption rampant in Indian politics and governance. Those touting the hypocrisy argument seem to overlook that a person being party to a particular immoral action, does not necessarily imply complete voluntary approval of the action. Would one argue that a prostitute does not have the right to protest against sex trade as he/she is party to it? Most likely not, as the underlying duress that brings these women to the trade is well recognized . The Indian version of corruption, so deeply imbibed in the functioning of the society that many fail to

    The last decade of the Twentieth Century has unmasked the hypocrisy of the Indian politician. A popular Chief Minister had to spend months in jail. A former Prime Minister had to appear before the court a number of times in connection with bribing of M.Ps. Another former Minister was remanded to judicial custody while facing charges of aiding and abetting smugglers. It seems as if Indian democracy has become a breeding ground for crooks and cheats.…

    Some may believe that corruption, being traditional way of doing things, shouldn’t need to be reformed into new ways. Source C shows how corruption in India goes back to the Independence of India from British rule, defending how India is able to survive so long with corruption intact. Contrary to this, corruption is actually leaving trails of poverty and injustice throughout the country (Source A). By ridding the country of the worst of its corruption, India would be able to give better chances to the impoverished and implement a just justice…

    The economy of India was under socialist-inspired policies for an entire generation from the 1950s until the 1980s. The economy was subject to extensive regulation, protectionism, and public ownership, leading to pervasive corruption and slow growth.[1][2][3][4] License Raj was often at the core of corruption.…

    Everything seems to be dank and dark today. Every political party is being exposed in corruption issues, some small, some large, some beyond comprehension. Inflation is rampant, IIP is down, GDP growth is shrinking, reforms seem to be in cold storage, the sovereign ratings of the country head south, the rupee is struggling, FDI inflows come down to a trickle.…

    Jaipur Literature Festival is an inclusive platform, a festival of ideas where several dimensions of issues are debated, discussed and a lot of intellectual churning and brainstorming happens. It is not a political platform. In such an atmosphere, every argument has a context and that should be appreciated. At the very outset, it is important to understand that Mr. Nandy’s assertion is no way related to the ethical or unethical aspect of corruption. Given the fact that corruption is all pervasive in our society and corruption has become the order of the day, it seems to be only an attempt out of academic interest on the part of Mr. Nandy to objectively examine if corruption can be an equalising force in our society.…

    The campaign by the eminent social activist Anna Hazare and his true will against corruption marks a milestone in the Indian politics. So, is this enough for a good political system, drafting a bill against corruption? It seems so crazy, that with a simple bill, are they going to make it against rampant corruption? May be they are going to do it. But that simple bill is no longer enough to free our nation. The thoughts of each and every citizen are needed. Change should come in the citizens of our country, not in the constitution. The change in the law just paves a way for judicial restrictions; it is no more going to do anything beyond that. So, what is needed basically? This carries us to a different stream; acting against corruption is not the main issue, learning the basic ethics is much-needed. Even if that Jan Lokpal bill comes into action, we cannot say it will truly act in its own way. Because corruption is not a small thing to tackle and these bills are merely useless and they are going to do nothing, though we hope for the best.…

    After Indian independence until the end of the cold war, the relationship between the two nations has often been thorny. Dwight Eisenhower was the first U.S. President to visit India in 1959. He was so supportive of India that the New York Times remarked "It did not seem to matter much whether Nehru had actually requested or been given a guarantee that the U.S. would help India to meet further Chinese communist aggression. What mattered was the obvious strengthening of Indian-American friendship to a point where no such guarantee was necessary."…

    First of all, technologie corrupts society because it does our thinking and increases health problems. According to a New York Times article, the average kid ages 8-18, spends over 7 ½ hours a day using technology gadgets which increases the obesity rate, poor grades, impatience, violence and a loss of family interest. Also, cell phones and texting leads to texting and driving which is almost as worse as drinking and driving. You can hurt yourself or people around you while texting and driving. Are generation can’t live without a cell phone, texting or sending emails and this leads to a lack of communication. When somebody can only express their feeling in a text message or an email they are not learning how to communicate with others. Did you also know that technology not only affects our health but it affects our environment too? For example, a normal computer chip takes 600 times its weight in fuel to produce?…

    Corruption in India

    • 3105 Words

    The answer is very simple to tell but is extremely complecated to understand. Technically corruption is any kind of act in self interset to use public services illegally. Now there are several situations when we don't follow the law but that is not corruption if it is in public interset. Like if you give five extra minute to a sick student in exam then it is against rule but is not a kind of corruption but if you give four extra minutes for rupees then it is a kind of corruption. It is the simplest example to distinguish corruption and humanity. The corruption is not always visible but is always observable. It means one can observe every kind of corruption but corruption is not always visible. For example, if a sub division officer is not taking any action against his junior for the offence of corruption then it is a kind of invisible corruption but is still observable. Now it comes to cause of corruption. Who is the real cause of the corruption ? We can't give the whole credit to the system. We are equally responsible for the same thing. No doubt the system don't let us allow to change itself but remember we can change it slowly. Lets ask one question to your mind. Why should I loose my chance to get something illegally which others are getting ? For example, there is a job opportunity and someone equally qualified as you are is trying jack, then should you use a jack ? This question has every answer. It is not illegal or is not morally wrong. It completely depends upon you. We know corruption is a way of living for everyone nowadays. But the main question is who is responsible ? Now I think you understand, we the people are responsible, not the system. Now you will ask that how one can change the system ? I am not expecting a change in the system from you but just try to change yourself a bit. Just a bit not completely. Just try to change small things and see large things will be…

    An incidental comment from a minor character lays down, in the opening moments of Shakespeare's Hamlet, the theme which is to pin together all its aspects. Francisco the guard says, 'I am sick at heart.' [Act I. Sc. I, 29]. Francisco's sick melancholy is in keeping with the atmosphere of corruption and decay which permeates the play; unexplained, difficult to define, but with a clear component of dread. And, typically, his expression of misgivings is misinterpreted, perhaps even underestimated. Barnardo, seeking palpable reasons for Francisco's distraction, asks whether Francisco has had a quiet watch. Perhaps he wonders if the ghost has disturbed Francisco, but whatever is ailing Franciso remains secret, simply becoming a part of the anxious atmosphere.…

    Corruption & Its Effects

    Corruption can be solved in many ways. One way corruption can be solved is with extensive background checks to see if a government official misused any governmental powers for illegitimate private gain. Considering the fact that some corrupt people still may get in a governmental position because of false information, there are others ways to avoid and limit corruption. Another way to limit corruption would be to organize a specialized group of people to investigate suspicious activities. Another method is to develop awareness so that others could learn to stop corruption as well.. To fight corruption there are many groups such as USAID who are there to. Another group dedicated to anti corruption is APEC . APEC works with different nations to help each other with their economies. APEC stands for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. There is also a organization called Transparency International that rejects any idea of northern superiority regarding corruption, and is committed to exposing corruption world-wide. TI has issued an annual Corruption Perceptions Index that also publishes an annual Global Corruption Report, a Global Corruption Barometer and a Bribe Payers Index. Transparency International is the global civil society organization leading the fight against corruption. It brings people together in a powerful worldwide coalition to end the devastating impact of corruption on men, women and children around the world. TI's mission is to create change towards a world free of corruption.There are many ways to get rid of corrupt people but the only true way is to get rid of corrupt people an this is how corruption can be resolved.…
