Giver of money is more guilty than receiver ? Debate
The cardinal principal in corruption is that bribing or giver is more guilty than reciever to get things done. I believe the present campaign of Anna is against corruption forced or coerced upon. If any official or individual demands money to get things done than it is unethical. Some Corporates and high income group get their things done in a jiffy by greasing the palms of the beaucrats, it is when the rights of underprivileged is trampled upon, or justice is bought by manipulating evidence, that corruption shows its ugly dimension. One has wait in the queue patiently to get things done. If one wants it out of turn than one resorts to bribing. Debate guys
Modern india is having a new beginning with brand Anna A 
If China can hang culprits convicted of corruption, what prevents us from enacting a draconian law ? First is to sieze the property of the accused than initiate action, at least jail term of 10 years should act as deterrent.
I totally agree with your point Umesh.I have ,infact, written a blog post highlighting the same issue.here it is.http://myblawghh.blogspot.com/2011/08/say-no-to-corruption.html
Donations given to god or trust is currently exempted, but it should not exceed 5% of the income. I personally feel if all the income and wealth accumulated by corrupt politicians are seized, we need not pay income tax all ? How about that line of thought
On topic, I think an act of bribery is a reciprocal system. People are taking bribes because there are is at least one who is willing to give a bribe. Actually we can analyze it even further. Say in situation one there are more people willing to give bribes than those unwilling then we can say more often than not the bribe giver is the initiator of the process of bribing.
In scenario two both the bribe giver and bribe taker are equally likely to engage in an act of bribery. In such a scenario they are both accomplices of the act, both benefitting from the act of bribery.
In scenario three, it is the bribe taker who extorting to give bribe. In my opinion this scenario will not persist for long as the number of people who are unwilling to give bribe but are forced to will be large and given time they will speak up.
So what is the scenario in India? Being a cynic I have to say it is perhaps scenario one or two where people are willing to give bribe.
Act of bribery is largely reciprocal, we don t wanna to stand in the queue and want things in a jiffy, neither the system has deadlines for work to be completed. If the work deadlines are adhered to maybe within a week, it would bring in committment and responsibility.
I think it will be an interesting topic for a psychologist or social scientist to look into. Are we really against corruption or are we oppurtunists, waiting to bribe our way to get something?
I would say... I will love to give a Green note rather than standing in lines specially at govt offices.
Shortcut to success, show Gandhi's currency as a bait Lolz. You believe in Jugad
Its not always that corporates would have to grease the bureaucracy, often its the bureaucracy which actually demands for it. Jugad exists because we make ourselves unaware of our own rights. If each and everyone stands up against corruption this long line at govt. offices won't exist at all. Hopefully we actually read the Janlokpal and the draft proposed by the govt. and give our opinions. Have a look here: http://www.indiaagainstcorruption.org/
