These days, it has spread its roots deeply in the society which has made it difficult to be rid of it. Corruption is something that is so deep set in the roots of our society that has made it difficult for anyone to not fall into the crutches.
Nowadays, every important work is conducted with corruption. These days, corruption is done with the health of online transfers or in the form of expensive gifts etc. In order to get their work done quickly and rather easily, people take the easier route and bribe the officials. Some people that are enlisted in the government or non-government offices have been mixed up in the corruption and will do anything to fulfil their wishes.
Corruption, is one form or another, is a worldwide phenomenon. Everyone admits that corruption is something immoral and detestable. Unfortunately, in our country, corruption has become a part of life. It has entered the very roots of Indian society.
Corruption has been defined variously by scholars. But the simple meaning of it is that corruption implies perversion of morality, integrity, character or duty. Corruption is the misuse of authority, public position, natural or public resources, power, etc. by someone to gain his/her personal gratifications.
Corruption is increasing in India day by day because there is a strong connection between the officials, politicians and criminals who are making this country weak. India got Independence in 1947 and it was slowly becoming strong and developing but in the mid-way, the disease of corruption started and stopped India to grow ahead.
Corruption is everywhere and in every department cheater it politics, hospitals, education, job, government offices, nothing is left of corruption. Everything has become a business and the source of earning money in the wrong way.
Evils, it is said, percolate in any society from the top. The topmost people in the country must present model examples of conduct, honesty and behaviour. One must not only be honest but one must also be above doubt. We, the common men also have some responsibilities towards our nation. If we stop giving bribe, the corrupts have no option but to do their job honestly. Then we shall be able to root out the evil of corruption from the entire society.
Corruption is the unjust use of public power for private advantages. We are all familiar with corruption and know that the occurrence is not a new thing in society. Violating rules and taking advantage has become a common practice. In order to get your work done in a shorter amount of time, people resort to giving and taking bribes.
It is a very common toxin in the society since ancient time. It has been found that corruption has been in practice since Mughal times. It is reaching new heights these days and increasing rapidly. It has affected the minds of people to such an extent and become so widespread that wrong people can play with the lives of people of the society.

Corruption comes in all fields of society such as sports, entertainment, education and politics etc. Corruption weakens a man’s mind and makes him dependent due to his greed and shallow mind. In a country like which is riddled with poverty, corruption is the only means to get by. People take bribes for the smallest things.
