Corruption is the price we pay or Democracy:
Corruption exists in many nations across the world, some are affected more than others.
Unfortunatly india is one of the most affected, there are many reasons, but there must not be any excuses to maintain the status quo, all to often there are many excuses i.e. the raj, poverty, communal violence, the climate...!
Many say the nation has been robbed and abused and that is the reason for the corruption.
BUT to state a few examples if the likes of Germany & Japan can go from war torn defeated peoples in 1945 to become the 2nd & 3rd richest nations in the world by 1956, WHY does india find it so hard to get on track, it is the corruption which prevents this rise, its not the Democracy... but the same kin of people who sold out the nation over a period of 1000 years they know who they are, and we all know who they are, but still they maintain power, its not Democracy that leads to Corruption it is lack of Education and Knowledge among the common man... whom continue to be woed by the kin of people who have worn down the nation to nothing and who blame minorities for shortcomings and congratulate themselfs for india's successes which are mainly due to the common people.
