The cancer of corruption has eaten into the vitals of Indian Society. The moral standards of the people in a large percentage of cases are at a low ebb. It has already done large damage to Indian Society. The virtuous lead a difficult life. They are ignored and blackmailed. It has been seen that some people, when they entered the police department, swore to be honest but they found it impossible to continue to be so, thanks to the pressure from the higher officials who expects something from their subordinates. In such a climate even the most honest have to yield to temptations.
There are social corruptions like adulteration, weighing less and charging higher than due for items sold. There are various causes of the existence of corruption in society. Firstly, education in India is faulty which is very much responsible for the deterioration of the moral standard of society. Moral and spiritual values have been cast aside. Secondly, The law is so defective that the offender goes scot-free. Thirdly, the cause of corruption is inflation. The fixed salary people find it hard to make both ends meet due to tlo constant rises in prices. Fourthly, Our so-called leaders that have duped the society. They are unable to give society the required good leadership.
Corruption in India thus has reached the climax. India owes its present economic ill to this sad situation in a large measure. Expeditious and firm steps are needed to curb the menace. Delay in eradicating the evil will wreak disaster for our social and political fabric. Society will go to dogs if this cancer of corruption is not eliminated without any loss of time. Suitable legislation should be enacted to root out corruption associated with elections. Special measures have been suggested to curb corruption by the bodies appointed by the government.
