Ashok K Lahiri: Corruption and Indian democracy | Business Standard Column
My VIEW:
I am inclined to agree with the conclusion that "The fight against corruption is going to get easier as economic opportunities expand with accelerating growth and access to information and aversion to corruption improves with expanding education."
The problem today is the mix up of greed, misunderstandings about legitimate and corrupt practices because occasionally corruption or unethical practices are 'legalised' and lack of awareness about corruption. Irrational wage structure in sectors where either high productivity is there or huge funds are managed or even taxes are collected breeds corruption. Kautilya had said that 'it is difficult to find when a fish drinks water'. Perhaps his observation is very much true in today's world.
