Issues around the world : Corruption

Today I will start on a new series of issues around the world with Part 1 being Corruption.

Just days ago, I read on BBC that a man by the name of Anna Hazare. He stated on Tuesday that he wanted to go on a 'fast unto death' to protest against a "watered-down anti-corruption bill introduced by the Indian government

Why would he protest this?

The Lokpal Bill that was passed by the government was considered a 'bad Joke' by Anna Hazare and he begin his 'fast unto death' on last Tuesday and the whole country has since risen up in protest across the country.

Corruption in India.

Corruption has been rifle in India as it seems that you will need to pay a bribe to get most thing done there and recently the Delhi Commonwealth games has shown the size of corruption in this nation.

I personally feel that although India maybe a strong developing country, corruption is harming it from growing at an even faster speed that what they should be going at. I feel that corruption in India now has been affecting the fabric of the society and to eradicate the problem would be akin to trying to uproot a fully grown tree but as a saying goes ' A Journey of a thousand miles being with a first step' so it is never too late for it to occur.

In Conclusion

I feel that corruption hurts the poorest of the poorest the hardest and that for India to really become a developed country by 2020, they will need to firstly root out corruption and then the economic growth will then trickle down from the booming economy growth that India supposedly enjoys
