Anti-Corruption Drive in India
“Anna Hazare’s Leadership” and Anti –corruption campaign in India
16th august 2011, was a day of vanity in Indian history which has putted curiosity among most of Indians. Many of us coveted to be part of the activities happening all around in Delhi, a wish to join hands with Anna Hazare. It was really hard to believe that a tenacious soldier could turn into an anti-corruption crusader by brilliantly executing an amazing series of checks and counter checks, leading to eventual checkmate. It was great experience to see a charismatic leadership in role of Anna Hazare that’s effect was so much subliminal which has shaken the backbone of deep rooted corruption in this country. Two questions were striking. Why this campaign? & why we need Anna for this campaign? Do we desperately need a leader like M. C. Gandhi again, who can cave in a right direction? Why we forgot real Gandhi and His sacrifice? We only remember that “Note wala Gandhi” by Munna Bhai MBBS. When we go to any office, Office clerk ask us “bhaiya Gandhi ke darshan karaa do Kaam ho jayega”. This campaign under Anna’s leadership is purposeful in following dimensions. 1.

Creating dominance against corruption
The major force behind this campaign was creating environment against corruption, if we turn up with association of corruption, we formulate it asCorruption = Authority + Monopoly – Transparency Authority, we cannot ignore the fact that authority should be given to some peoples to govern. But intension to choose those peoples plays importance. When transparency enforces to choose authority outcome is better, if somebody an

gets absolute authority to govern then, its’ clear that corruption would be there. ‘Absolut Authority, Absolute Corruption’. If only some people have the control over all the resources, resulting decisions become biased, certain group who hold the resources, drives monopoly. This campaign is about to include transparency in the society and system to prevent government, social and

    Many authors tried to understand the subject of corruption and its causes. Among them, the government weaknesses or shortcoming may lead to higher corruption since companies are not afraid of being apprehended (David Conklin, 2009). Besides, government officials with low wages and low educational levels will be more likely to accept illegal payments to survive but also because they do not realize the consequences for the nation’s economic development (David Conklin, 2009). Other reasons are given by the author like the widespread poverty, the possession of major reserves of natural resources, as being likely to influence positively the corruption. On top of that, the current literature identified a linear relationship between corruption and government regulations (Naved Ahmad, 2002) and it seems that higher degree of government regulations leads to higher levels of corruption. This is easily understandable. The more the companies need the intervention of the government to run a business (licenses and permits, control over procurement, contracts,…

    “Sarkari Lokpal dhoka hai, Desh ko badlo - yehi mauka hai!” *** “Anna tum sangharsh karo, Hum tumhare saath hain!” *** These were the popular SMSs and slogans being exchanged by the people across the country at the time of Anna Hazare’s recent protest against corruption. His protest is a new landmark in the history of independent India whose struggle against corruption was a gentle reminder of Mahatma Gandhi’s Satyagraha. The movement has gained momentum since April 5, 2011, when anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare began his nowfamous hunger strike at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. The chief legislative aim of the movement is to alleviate corruption in the Indian government through the Jan Lokpal Bill. While in Libya and Yemen there is bloodshed for freedom, where people are waging war against one another during the crisis, here in India, a respected social activist Anna Hazare is waging a peaceful, non violent war against corruption. His urge to free India of the greatest evil, corruption, commends appreciation. This fight against corruption staged at Jantar Mantar was not a one- man show. People from different parts of the country gave their support to Anna Hazare. The greatest merit of this non violent struggle was that no political party was involved in it. Anna Hazare and his supporters…

    Winston Churchill once famously told,”War is too serious a business to be left to Generals.”Similarly administration of a country is also too serious a business to be left to the government and the representatives. People’s participation and involvement in the administration, formulation of programmes’ and policy implementation is not a once in a five year routine, but a perennial role that they should seldom abdicate to a few. American philosopher Thoreau once told, “That government is best which governs least.”Often an exuberance of governance, devoids citizen’s of enthusiasm and involvement in the affairs of the state; a sort of enforced disinterest will be the result. If constitutionally, people are envisaged for the active participation in governance, they should also be equally allowed to set right any evils of administration that plagues the country. Corruption is one of the most insidious diseases that cankers the body politic, like a caterpillar to the host plant.…

    A new landmark in the history of independent India, a new path paved by the veteran anti- corruption campaigner Anna Hazare. His struggle against corruption was a gentle reminder of Mahatma Gandhi’s Satyagraha. His fast-unto death, the five day fast has shown the world what Gandhism means in today’s world. The power of Gandhiji’s non violence will never cease to exist in the ages to come.

    Corruption in India

    • 3105 Words
    • 13 Pages

    The answer is very simple to tell but is extremely complecated to understand. Technically corruption is any kind of act in self interset to use public services illegally. Now there are several situations when we don't follow the law but that is not corruption if it is in public interset. Like if you give five extra minute to a sick student in exam then it is against rule but is not a kind of corruption but if you give four extra minutes for rupees then it is a kind of corruption. It is the simplest example to distinguish corruption and humanity. The corruption is not always visible but is always observable. It means one can observe every kind of corruption but corruption is not always visible. For example, if a sub division officer is not taking any action against his junior for the offence of corruption then it is a kind of invisible corruption but is still observable. Now it comes to cause of corruption. Who is the real cause of the corruption ? We can't give the whole credit to the system. We are equally responsible for the same thing. No doubt the system don't let us allow to change itself but remember we can change it slowly. Lets ask one question to your mind. Why should I loose my chance to get something illegally which others are getting ? For example, there is a job opportunity and someone equally qualified as you are is trying jack, then should you use a jack ? This question has every answer. It is not illegal or is not morally wrong. It completely depends upon you. We know corruption is a way of living for everyone nowadays. But the main question is who is responsible ? Now I think you understand, we the people are responsible, not the system. Now you will ask that how one can change the system ? I am not expecting a change in the system from you but just try to change yourself a bit. Just a bit not completely. Just try to change small things and see large things will be…

    The world view today is directed towards concepts of sustainable development and the acquisition of progressively higher standards of living .Growth without development is being criticised as being an ephemeral and increasingly deceptive indicator of the actual state of the economy .Concepts like population growth which erode economic growth and education and health which enhance human capital accumulation are gaining a lot of importance and are being touted as being as essential to the development of an economy as the growth rate of its GDP .Efficiency is being advocated at all levels of .the world outlook has now transitioned from the sustenance of regulated economies to a liberalization of the world economy. The precedence give to efficiency I is also bringing to focus factors which interfere with its implementation. It is in this regard that corruption, a relatively new phenomenon is gaining widespread importance in economic circles. What distinguishes corruption from other indictors is essentially the fact that it is non-quantifiable concept.…
