Ask for Receipts ! :-)

Every adult in India must have said at least once in life that "India is a Corrupt country" and the same everyone must have encouraged corruption at least once by bribing someone or in some similar way. So who makes India Corrupt? "We" make India corrupt.

I agree that It is impossible to make corruption Zero from What it is right now in India. But to make India Grow, being aware about making corruption -> 0 is extremely important.

How can corruption be controlled?

According to me :

• Lets take a simple example. A traffic police guy stops you for driving in wrong side. He asks you for 50 Bucks (with receipt) and offers an option of 30 (without receipt). Considering the Short term benefit (of 20 bucks), obviously one will chose the later. But had these 50 Rs had gone to government (which will be in multiples of thousands everyday), that would help government to reduce taxes some time later. Imagine how much traffic breaking fine can be collected in all over India in one day. And I bet hardly 50% of that actual estimated fine is going to the government.

So, I request you first, not to break traffic rules, and second, if you do break, please pay fine. do not Bribe! Hardly matter of 20 rupees is what makes India Corrupt ultimately! This applies to all the other departments as Traffic.

• Internet's reach is pertty good in india now. So, We need to have a Integritywise dependable group of people to monitor a website where anyone can submit incident of request of bribe with name and department of person alongwith the city,state etc. And then strickt actions need to be taken with respective person. "Such a model exists" this thoguht itself will stop many of them to ask for bribe. so half battle is won here!

• The most important thing is : First of all, I need to stop encouraging Corruption.

So, The bottomline is : Please "ASK FOR RECEIPTS!" :-)
