Corruption
|
Corruption involves a whole range of activities from bribery, influence peddling, patronage or favour, nepotism, cronyism, electoral fraud, embezzlement, kickbacks to officials and involvement in organized crime._The definition of corruption has to be widened to include
“willfully giving any undue benefit to any person or entity or obtaining
any undue benefit from any public servant in violation of laws or
rules”.

There has been no progress in the disucssions between the government in India and the leaders of the massive movement against corruption, led by Anna Hazare.Corruption has become a major public concern in the wake of successive scams unfolding over the past few years. In a country like India, where millions of people still suffer from acute poverty, hunger and lack of socio-economic opportunities,the pillage of public resources through corruption amounts to a crime of a very serious nature. Besides impeding economic development, accumulation of ill gotten wealth through corruption is widening the inequalities and ruining the moral fabric of our society.
