I am not able to find suitable words to say as to how proud I felt by the solidarity shown by persons from all walks of life to Anna Hazare for his efforts to make India corruption free. Those in power recognized the people’s power and first step has been taken to enact law to ensure that those who rob our Nation will be brought to book. I hope and pray that no hitch comes in the way now as there are plenty of those who would like to see this effort scuttled.
Having said that let me now come to what I have in my mind to say in my humble way to ensure corruption free India.
Let us all take a vow that we will not bribe to :
a) avoid getting challaned by traffic police.
b) have our complaint registered at whichever agency it may be.
c) get our file traced or pushed to have our request considered.
d) influence favourable disposable of our case by whatever means.
e) have our tender passed.
f) ensure procurement of our material by Purchase staff of production companies.
g) get OK report from inspection teams
If we all can sincerely do this, I think we AAM AADMI can curb corruption as when there is NO OFFER , how can there be DEMAND. I know all of us will face hard times but in my thinking that is the only way. There is no GAIN without PAIN.

Well said NG, if all of us will take care of ethics and right things to do at our end, maybe we will reduce the corruption someday. Curbing or eliminating it totally is something which might not be possible in immediate future but I\if none of us would give bribe or take illegal routes, then I'm sure askers wont have any other option than to do our work the legal way.
how true , a little can go a long way :)
I agree, it begins with us.
We were getting Poppins passport made last month and post submission of the papers we received a message from the Haryana Commissioners’ office, citing that at any point of time if anyone asks for money please report on this number.
And sure enough through the police verification no one asked us for a penny. A very refreshing change from the usual requests for "chai paani."
Uncle, u said it! I also wrote about it,in "corrup me, nah!" post that we must first stop trying to bribe.
We forget that we too are a party to all that's happening.
U brought out some practical points... we must must follow them as far as possible.
RESTLESS
Rightly said! If we really want a change, firstly we shall change ourselves and our mind set, I know it could be little difficult but these small steps can really save our nation from a demon called corruption.
and also not pay bribe to police personal when he comes for address verification after you apply for a passport!
and and that corrupt disgusting looking police wala standing at airport when you leave the airpiort after custom check waiting to ask you ek hara note hai kya :x
I choose not to pay-a-bribe no matter what! :) And I am proud of the fact that I never did.
And yes uncle, it was such a beautiful feeling.. even here in US people had this awesome proof to show they support things in India; no matter where they are, they are still INDIANS!
Well said Uncle!! Hopefully we will get there (sooner) ... world without bribe!

anna hazare is the best example ...if he alone can do it...we all can
I agree that it should start with us refusing to take an easy way out.
But like a friend said, assure me that my work will get done and I will not pay a bribe. For most of us it is as a last resort, out of sheer helplessness.
No gain without pain and its very much true too:)
U mentioned some every important points which we often neglect. we shall implement these..;)
Good post uncle..;)

Why should we not? We must contribute our share. Btw I am unable to open your space as the moment it opens there is a pop up saying internet can not open this site and off it goes. Please check. Take care
PURBA :
That is what we need, to get over that feeling of helplessness and succumb to temptation of getting our work done by greasing palms. If we all join in this ANDOLAN not to give bribes, things will change after sometime. We have to face rough weather in the beginning. Take care
PRAMODA :
Yes, we all must stop giving bribes. That is the way to route out corruption. Take care
rightly put...i take a vow now after reading ur post but what if i get tempted at the moment of truth?? thats a question i kept asking myself during the Jan Lokpal bill peaceful strike.
till date, i have been paying fines n standing in queues, never thought about bribes or cutting rules...just when i started thinking that i should get practical in life, along comes this people's movement bringing in a new wave of HOPE:)
So Uncle, I promise to take the vow!
P.S. do have a look here http://prasantnaidu.posterous.com/tag/corruption

It is in the hands of citizens of any nation to live with dignity without any fears. Take care
Thought provoking post uncle. I agree its we who can curb corruption.
When we shifted to our new house, we had to trans fer the Gas connection to the new address. Also we had connection to only one cylinder. I visited Bharat Gas office and enquired about the availability of one more cylinder. The official there said that there is a shortage in cylinder supply, so it will take some time. I agreed and filled up the form. However the official sitting next to him said that if i pay Rs5000 extra i can get the connection immediately.
I wondered, if there was shortage, how come they could arrange for a cylinder. I refused to pay the money...I know i was at loss and got the connection after 6 months. There were many people who said that I should have given them the money.
What is your opinion???
Gayu
GAYU :

GAYU :
Just remember I will be there whenever you need. It is building up but still bearable though we have started using AC at night and in car. Take care
This is something is really needed to eradicate corruption from its root level. Common man should start it. No policies, laws and groups can do it unless the general people feels to remove it by their trivial efforts.
This is what really counts.
JYOTI :
Thanks for supportive comments. If we can influence even 4 or 5 more persons for desisting from offering bribe and they in turn can do the same, I think chain reaction will start to curb corruption.
Take care
