Why Corruption?
It sometime becomes interesting to think why people in India are corrupted to such a great extend.
Some people say and believe that stopping bribing can stop corruption. Not bribing has been advised since a long time but still is an ineffective method and fails to produce results on large scale.
To stop bribing sounds like a good idea but if we think about the drawbacks of it - this method is a passive method and it makes the things difficult for people who observe it. And I guess that is the reason not many people stick to it. The prerequisite for succeeding this method is –it should be accepted on large scale at the same time. With the kind of busy life folks have, no one really wants to spend time and energy in unwanted activities. People prefer to spend few extra bucks and get their work done quickly. May it be a driving license, IDP, billing, some govt. work, etc.
Rule is if passive fails try using active methods. May be its time for us to take some active steps in order to stop the corruption. The reason why so many people are corrupted is they feel it quite safe when they accept the bribes. Make them feel insecure; make them feel guilty about what they are doing; make them think ten times before accepting bribes.
I am not sure if it’s the best way of doing this but something that might be adapted - we should gather the contact details of some of the anti-corruption organizations that are quick in taking actions and also genuinely interested in taking steps against corruption. Next step is just to spread these contact details and start using them whenever and wherever corruption takes place. More the number of complains less would be the number of demands for bribe.

The measure might be somewhat effective. But remember, dont corner India on this issue.
India is as bad as other developing nations. Just check out this http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0781359.html to know that almost all developing countries end up as being most corrupted countries.
So, corruption is not something that only prevails in India, it is a property of a developing nation. Corruption does reduce as the country progresses.
Nice topic! Nice suggestion that we all should have the info. of anti-corruption organizations. This way it will create some fear in the mind of bribe receivers. The more I would like to add is, at least we educated generation should actively stop giving bribes. If nobody is there to give; then no question of receiving!! I have personally tried it out in police station, where I was invited by them for my passport verification details. When they were sure this girl won't pay a single extra rupee to us...they sent me home again, just to get few more docs. for verification; this way added some more efforts for me. And as per my wish I did not give any bribe. If we all can carry out such exercises in day to day life... in this we can stop corruption!! The best example whenever traffic controller take our vehicles to police station (because of wrong parking) many of us don't take receipts and pay less money instead of it!! Why this compramise? Lets be responsible individuals and stop other side also. Then only we can change the sceanario irrespective of the location.
