Jan Lokpal Bill The first Jan Lokpal Bill was by Shanti Bhushan in 1968 and passed in the

4th Lok Sabha in 1969 but could not get through in the Rajya Sabha. Subsequently, Lokpal bills were introduced in 1971, 1977, 1985, 1989, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2005 and in 2008, yet they were never passed.[1] 42 years after its first introduction, the Lokpal bill is still pending in India. The Lokpal Bill provides for filing complaints of corruption against the prime minister, other ministers, and MPs with the ombudsman. The Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) while recommending the constitution of Lokpal was convinced that such an institution was justified not only for removing the sense of injustice from the minds of adversely affected citizens but also necessary to instill public confidence in the efficiency of the administrative machinery. Following this, the Lokpal Bill was for the first time presented during the fourth Lok Sabha in 1968, and was passed there in 1969. However, while it was pending in the Rajya Sabha, the Lok Sabha was dissolved, and so the bill was not passed at that time. The bill was revived several times in the subsequent years, most recently in 2008. Each time, after the bill was introduced to the house, it was referred to some committee for improvements --- a joint committee of parliament, or a departmental standing committee of the Home Ministry and before the government could take a final stand on the issue, the house was dissolved. Several conspicuous flaws have been cited in the recent draft of the Lokpal Bill. The basic idea of the Lok Pal is borrowed from the office of ombudsman, which has Administrative Reforms Committee of a Lokpal at the Centre, and Lokayukta(s) in the states. Anna Hazare is now fighting for this bill to get passed. The Jan Lokpal Bill (Citizen's ombudsman Bill) is a draft anti-corruption bill drawn up by prominent civil society activists seeking the appointment of a Jan Lokpal, an independent body that would investigate corruption cases, complete the investigation within a year and envisages trial in the case getting over in the next one year. Drafted by Justice Santosh Hegde (former Supreme Court Judge and former Lokayukta of Karnataka), Prashant Bhushan (Supreme Court Lawyer) and Arvind Kejriwal (RTI activist), the draft Bill envisages a system where a corrupt person found guilty would go to jail within two years of the complaint being made and his ill-gotten wealth being confiscated. It also seeks power to the Jan Lokpal to prosecute politicians and bureaucrats without government permission. Retired IPS officer Kiran Bedi and other known people like Swami Agnivesh, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Anna Hazare and Mallika Sarabhai are also part of the movement, called India Against Corruption. Its website describes the movement as "an expression of collective anger of people of India against corruption. We have all come together to force/request/persuade/pressurize the Government to enact the Jan Lokpal Bill. We feel that if this Bill were enacted it would create an effective deterrence against corruption."

Anna Hazare, anti-corruption crusader, began a fast-unto-death, demanding that this bill, drafted by the civil society, be adopted. The website of the India Against Corruption movement calls the Lokpal Bill of the government an "eyewash" and has on it a critique of that government Bill. It also lists the difference between the Bills drafted by the government and civil society. A look at the salient features of Jan Lokpal Bill: 1. An institution called LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state will be set up 2. Like Supreme Court and Election Commission, they will be completely independent of the governments. No minister or bureaucrat will be able to influence their investigations. 3. Cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years anymore: Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year. Trial should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt politician, officer or judge is sent to jail within two years. 4. The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction. 5. How will it help a common citizen: If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant. 6. So, you could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal will have to get it done in a month's time. You could also report any case of corruption to Lokpal like ration being siphoned off, poor quality roads been constructed or panchayat funds being siphoned off. Lokpal will have to complete its investigations in a year, trial will be over in next one year and the guilty will go to jail within two years. 7. But won't the government appoint corrupt and weak people as Lokpal members? That won't be possible because its members will be selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians, through a completely transparent and participatory process. 8. What if some officer in Lokpal becomes corrupt? The entire functioning of Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent. Any complaint against any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer dismissed within two months. 9. What will happen to existing anti-corruption agencies? CVC, departmental vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI will be merged into Lokpal. Lokpal will have complete powers and machinery to independently investigate and prosecute any officer, judge or politician. 10.It will be the duty of the Lokpal to provide protection to those who are being victimized for raising their voice against corruption. Fundamental duties

1. To judge the cases and make jurisdictions against corruption cases with the Lokpal. 2. To judge whether a case is legal or whether a fake complaint has been made. 3. To potentially impose fines on a fake complaint, or even a short span of jail time, if the case is not proved to be legally true. Anna Hazare, a Gandhian rights activist, had started a fast unto death at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi demanding the passing of the bill. Hazare called off his hunger strike on the 9th of April 2011 bringing to an end his 98-hour protest after the government issued a gazette notification constituting a 10-member Joint Committee of government ministers and civil society activists, including him, to draft a bill for the creation of an effective Lokpal. Thousands of people from all over India, especially the youth, supported Anna Hazare's cause by candle light marches and online campaigns through social media. Recently Yoga guru, Swami Ramdev, was on a fast for this cause for 9 days from 4 June - 12 June 2011. He wanted the Government of India to accept various demands which mainly included those related to the Lokpall bill. Anna Hazare on the 8th of June, 2011, declared that he will restart his fast unto death on the 16th of August if the Lokpal bill is not passed by the Parliament of India by 15 August, which is the Independence Day of India.[2] On the 16th of June, the civil society reported that only 15 points of total 71 that they recommended have been agreed to by the Joint Committee consisting of five central ministers. Following differences with the Civil Society, the team of five central ministers decided to forward two drafts of the Lokpal Bill to the Cabinet, one from each side. Anticipating some sort of police action against his fast intended on August 16, social activist Anna Hazare said he would move the Supreme Court to prevent any situation similar to the police crackdown on Baba Ramdev and his supporters at Ramlila Maidan. The government said, we will suppress the agitation of Anna Hazare as had been done in the case of Ramdev. Is this democracy or autocracy? You cannot suppress.... That is why we will go to the Supreme Court tomorrow, Hazare told reporters here-The Constitution has given right to every citizen to lodge a protest. We will launch the agitation from August 16, he added.[3]

History of Lokpal Bill

The Lokpal Bill has been pending for the last 42 years. Though it was passed in the Lok Sabha in 1969, the Rajya Sabha rejected it. The Bill was re-introduced in the Rajya Sabha as many as nine times and yet it could not get the nod of the upper house of Parliament. The Rajya Sabha saw the Bill in 1971, 1977, 1985, 1989, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2005 and 2008. The Bill is still pending adoption into law. The Lokpal Bill is important in the sense that even people occupying high public offices including the Prime Minister, ministers and MPs can be probed for corruption charges. The Bill seeks to create the institution of Lokpal or ombudsman of India, who will receive complaints even against the Prime Minister.

The institution of Lokpal was first contemplated way back in early 1960s with an aim to rooting out corruption in public offices. The Lokpal Bill was based on the recommendations of the Santhanam Committee for Prevention of Corruption in 1966. The Lokpal Bill (as introduced in 1998) seeks the establishment of the institution of Lokpal to inquire into allegations of corruption against public functionaries. The Lokpal Act of 1998 seeks to provide for setting up office of Lok Pal with a chairperson and two members for fixed terms of three years or until attainment of age of 70 years, whichever is earlier. The Lokpal will inquire into complaints filed by any person other than public servant, alleging that public functionaries have committed an offence punishable under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. The Lokpal will have the powers of a civil court to summon and enforce attendance, receiving evidence and issuing commissions for the examination of witnesses or documents. Those exempted from the purview of Lokpal are the President, the vice-president, the Speaker, the chief justice of India and other judges of Supreme Court, CAG, CEC and other members of Election Commission, and chairman and members of UPSC. The Lokpal has the powers to conduct an inquiry into the allegations in an open court. Is there any time limit for the inquiry? The time frame for disposal of complaints filed before the Lokpal is six months Now you hear about Anna Hazares fasting until death and most of us were not aware who is Anna Hazare and what is this Lokpal Bill about? Anna Hazare (Dr.Kisan Baburao Hazare) is a social activist born on 15th June 1938 and he is known to develop a model village at Ahmednagar in Maharashtra called Ralegan Siddhi and is also a recipient of Padma Bhushan in 1992 for his contributions. Anna Hazare is a personality who has taken the best effort to put some bars on corruption in India. These days we see lots of scams coming up, but do we hear much about the punishments and actions being taken against these corrupt bureaucrats and politicians? No, not much, reason is that the people doing the investigation against such allegations are the people who are appointed by the same people who are involved in these scams. Anna Hazare is again the person who was behind the Right to Information Act (RTI Act). He had gone on hunger strike in the year 2003 to get the RTI act bill passed and more than getting the bill passed, he traveled about 12,000 km to create an awareness of this act. We really need people like him to get these corrupt politicians and bureaucrats to hold responsibility and close the loopholes in our system. Lokpal Bill and Jan Lokpal Bill Lokpal bill at the current state has lots of loopholes and does not serves the purpose. The Lokpal cannot, under the proposed Bill, investigate any case against the Prime Minister in the arena of external affairs and defence. As a part of this movement, N. Santosh Hegde, a former justice of the Supreme Court of India, Prashant Bhushan, a senior lawyer in the Supreme Court along with the members of the India Against Corruption movement drafted an alternate bill, named as the Jan Lokpal Bill. We need to get this bill passed and implemented with all the loopholes closed, independent from Politicians and bureaucrats, like the Supreme Court of India. This movement from a person like Anna Hazare should be supported by each and every citizen of India and compel the responsible people to take an accepted decision at the earliest.

History of Lokpal Bill This bill has taken 40 years, still not passed by our elected representatives. We had different government in power, but none wanted this to come up as this would be the biggest hurdle for the corrupt politicians. India has changed, the young India, wants a clean India and will do anything and everything to get this done.

The Lokpal bill is an outcome of the findings of the Santhanam Committee for the Prevention of Corruption in 1966. Every political party has included the Lokpal bill issue in their election manifesto, but none has implemented it. In 2004 our current Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh had promised on this issue, but still nothing has happened.

You should read this petition to know more about the Lokpal Bill. Responsibility of every Indian Citizen We should do everything possible to get this bill passed without any loopholes. In the current state, its again useless and we cannot accept it. It needs to be drafted in a way which will make this things independent from the people in power. We have been hearing about many scams like the common wealth games scam, IPL scam, 2G Scam, etc. What is being done against he people who are responsible for these scams? We hear crores involved in these scams, are these money coming back? Most of these criminals get strong legal experts, find loopholes and escapes. We no longer want to have this going on and we need a clean India. What are the loopholes of the Lokpal Bill by the Government According to the current version of Lokpal Bill, Lokpal will not have any power to either initiate action suo motu in any case or even receive complaints of corruption from public. This is making the Lokpal bill useless. But according to the Jan Lokpal Bill, full powers to initiate investigations suo motu in any case and also to directly entertain complaints from the public. This is something very important and needs to be addressed by the Government and we see most of the political parties finding this as a threat to them. The Government proposed Lokpal bill does wants the Lokpal to be advisory body and just forward the complaints to the recepective department and does not have any right to register and FIR or police powers. This bill not give power to the Lokpal to do any investigation against the Prime Minister, which deals with foreign affairs, security and defence and also no jurisdiction over bureaucrats and government officers. These are the major lacking of the current version with the Government, but we need a Jan Lokpal bill

which is addressing the above mentioned issues. Dosupport for this bill and try your best to force the Government to do it for us. We are the people who have put them on to rule the country and they will have to do it for us. Update : April 6, 2011, 3:26 am Anna Hazare is on a fast to death strike for getting the Government to act. The Government of India should call the leader for discussion and start working on this. I do agree, its not something that can be done overnight, but its pitty to hear that Anna Hazare had written several times to the responsible Prime Minister of India and never got a reply. So the Gandhian has taken his path of showing his protest. Update : April 6, 2011, 5:38 am Flaw of current Lokpal Bill Lokpal will not have any power to either initiate action suo motu in any case or even receive complaints of corruption from general public. The general public will make complaints to the speaker of Lok Sabha or chairperson of Rajya Sabha. Only those complaints forwarded by Speaker of Lok Sabha/Chairperson of Rajya Sabha to Lokpal would be investigated by Lokpal. This not only severely restricts the functioning of Lokpal, it also provides a tool in the hands of the ruling party to have only those cases referred to Lokpal which pertain to political opponents (since speaker is always from the ruling party).

I had invited you also to fast and pray for a corruption free India on 5th April. Though I did not receive any reply from you, I am hopeful that you must have done that. I am pained to read and hear about governments reaction to my fast. I consider it my duty to clarify the points raised on behalf of Congress party and the government by their spokespersons, as they appear in media: 1. It is being alleged that I am being instigated by some people to sit on this fast. Dear Manmohan Singh ji, this is an insult to my sense of wisdom and intelligence. I am not a kid that I could be instigated into going on an indefinite fast. I am a fiercely independent person. I take advice from many friends and critics, but do what my conscience directs me

to do. It is my experience that when cornered, governments resort to such malicious slandering. I am pained that the government, rather than addressing the issue of corruption, is trying to allege conspiracies, when there are none. 2. It is being said that I have shown impatience. Dear Prime Minister, so far, every government has shown complete insensitivity and lack of political commitment to tackling corruption. 62 years after independence, we still do not have independent and effective anti?corruption systems. Very weak versions of Lokpal Bill were presented in Parliament eight times in last 42 years. Even these weak versions were not passed by Parliament. This means, left to themselves, the politicians and bureaucrats will never pass any law which subjects them to any kind of objective scrutiny. At a time, when the country has witnessed scams of unprecedented scale, the impatience of the entire country is justified. And we call upon you, not to look for precedents, but show courage to take unprecedented steps. 3. It is being said that I have shown impatience when the government has initiated the process. I would urge you to tell me exactly what processes are underway? a. You say that your Group of Ministers are drafting the anti?corruption law. Many of the members of this Group of Ministers have such a shady past that if effective anticorruption systems had been in place, some of them would have been behind bars. Do you want us to have faith in a process in which some of the most corrupt people of this country should draft the anti?corruption law? b. NAC sub?committee has discussed Jan Lokpal Bill. But what does that actually mean? Will the government accept the recommendations of NAC sub?committee? So far, UPA II has shown complete contempt for even the most innocuous issues raised by NAC. c. I and many other friends from India Against Corruption movement wrote several letters to you after 1st December. I also sent you a copy of Jan Lokpal Bill on 1st December. We did not get any response. It is only when I wrote to you that I will sit on an indefinite fast, we were promptly invited for discussions on 7th March. I wonder whether the government responds only to threats of indefinite fast. Before that, representatives of India Against Corruption had been meeting various Ministers seeking their support for the Jan Lokpal Bill. They met Mr Moily also and personally handed over copy of Jan Lokpal to him. A few hoursbefore our meeting with you, we received a phone call from Mr Moilys office that the copy of Jan Lokpal Bill had been misplaced by his office and they wanted another copy. This is the seriousness with which the government has dealt with Jan Lokpal Bill. d. Dear Dr Manmohan Singh ji, if you were in my place, would you have any faith in the aforesaid processes? Kindly let me know if there are any other processes underway. If you

still feel that I am impatient, I am happy that I am because the whole nation is feeling impatient at the lack of credible efforts from your government against corruption. 4. What are we asking for? We are not saying that you should accept the Bill drafted by us. But kindly create a credible platform for discussions a joint committee with at least half members from civil society suggested by us. Your spokespersons are misleading the nation when they say that there is no precedent for setting up a joint committee. At least seven laws in Maharashtra were drafted by similar joint committees and presented in Maharashtra Assembly. Maharashtra RTI Act, one of the best laws of those times, was drafted by a joint committee. Even at the centre, when 25,000 tribals came to Delhi two years ago, your government set up a joint committee on land issues within 48 hours. You yourself are the Chairperson of that committee. This means that the government is willing to set up joint committees on all other issues, but not on corruption. Why? 5. It is being said that the government wants to talk to us and we are not talking to them. This is utterly false. Tell me a single meeting when you called us and we did not come. We strongly believe in dialogue and engagement. Kindly do not mislead the country by saying that we are shunning dialogue. We request you to take some credible steps at stemming corruption. Kindly stop finding faults and suspecting conspiracies in our movement. There are none. Even if there were, it does not absolve you of your responsibilities to stop corruption. Anna Hazare do not want any politicians to come near his stage. You know that every political party wants to take credit of any dam thing. Shameless Uma Bharthi and Om Prakash Choutala came to meet Anna and tried to show their support to them. How shameless are these politicians, are the citizens of India so dumb that they do not understand what these corrupt politicians are doing? These politicians were almost kicked away from the fasting location by the supporters of Anna Shame Shame No more politicians should try to come near anna and try to take any credit Talks with the Government failed on two points. One is the chairmanship and the other is on the notification. The most impressive fact of this agitation is that there is no compromise on these two points. Kejriwal said to the Media, that we are not fighting against the Government, we want a corruption free India and thereisnothing to compromise on this. We see every Indian citizen want this to be done and most of the political party who are not in power are also taking this positively.

I am sure this will happen very soon. My appeal to the people of India is that today we have IPL matches starting, dont forget about our country, continue your support to this great movement, we need to fight till be get this bill implemented.
Lokpal Bill is not a new word for Indian people. It is frequently used against corruption. Anna Hazare creates a new history for the demand of Jan Lokpal Bill in the year of 2011. There is a discussion about a struggling history of Jan Lokpal Bill and important of Lokpal Bill in India in the context of corruption.

WhatisJanLokpalBill?

Jan Lokpal Bill is a proposed anti-corruption law drowns up by prominent civil society activists to deter corruption effectively. Word of Jan Lokpal Bill derives from Lokpal which means ombudsman (Legal Representative)inIndia. Lokpal word has been derived from the Sanskrit words "loka" (people) and "pala" (protector/caretaker). So Lokpal is meant as the 'protector of people.

Jan Lokpal Bill is referred as citizens' ombudsman bill also in India. Ombudsman would create the law called the Lokpal Bill. It would be an independent body similar to the Election Commission of India.

The Lokpal will have a three-member body with a chairperson. The chairperson will be a chief justice or Supreme Court judge. Other two members will be high courts judges or chief justices.

ImportanceofJanLokpalBill:

It is being expected that Lokpal bill will reduce corruption in India. The Jan Lokpal bill provides powers to of filing complaints of corruption against the prime minister, other ministers and members of parliamentwiththeombudsman. The Lokpal Bill gives us a right, except for a public servant, to file a complaint and the Lokpal has to completetheinquirywithinsixmonths. HistoryofLokpalBill: There is a struggle for Lokpal Bill of last 42 years. First time, the bill was presented during the fourth Lok Sabha in 1968. It was passed there in 1969.

Lokpal Bill was revived in 1971, 1977, 1985, 1989, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2005 and 2008. In 2010, Lokpal Bill, awaits an okay from a select committee. According to former chief justice of Delhi high court and rights activist Rajinder Sachar, Lokpal Bill is "shamefully toothless and meant to give a false reassurance to the people that the government is serious in its fight against corruption". But former chief justice of India M N Venkatachelliah said that the PM must be out of its purview. Statement of M

N Venkatachelliah was supported by Rahul Gandhi also.

ARoleofAnnaHazareinJanLokpalBill: Kisan Baburao Hazare aka Anna Hazare went on hunger strike "unto death" on April 5, 2011 at Jantar Mantar, Delhi. He gave a statement that the government must treat the Lokpal Bill as the people's 'right and not a largesse'. The movement for Lokpal Bill of 72-year-old Gandhian Magsaysay award winner - Anna Hazare inspired people of India. Lokpal Bill movement took a new shape and more than sixcrorepeoplesupportedit. Anna Hazare appealed to the youth of nation to come forward for Jan Lokpal Bill 2011, this is the second freedom struggle of India. After the JP movement, this is the first people's movement. I'm delighted to see the youth's participation in this movement. I look up to them with lots of expectations.

DraftingCommitteeofLokpalBill:

Drafting committee of Lokpal Bill was officially formed on 8th April, 2011. The drafting committee would have 10 members including 5 from the government and five from the civil society.

WhatistheneedofLokpalBillinoursociety? Do you think Lokpal Bill is really needed in our society to make an ideal state? Government has already CVC, departmental vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI to stop corruption. What would be moral line of Lokpal Bill? Why a person will not be corrupt where money is everything? How an anti-corrupt society or state will fulfill the basic needs of people? Can a capitalist state be anti-corrupt which motive is nothing but profit? How a profit oriented society can serve basic need of people? How the difference between rich and poor will be filled?

Government has already exposed the power of STATE demolishing strike of Ram Dev Baba at Ramlila Maidan, New Delhi. We have seen the monopoly of Indian government in union budget 2011 also. In this context, people should think about the future of Lokpal Bill.
I feel we students should join Indian politics. We all know what are the problems India is facing today, we also condemn our politicians of corruption, selfishness and irresponsibility. Instead of just talking waste and let things go their way we should take the lead in shaping politics our way. Education and innovation of the youth will definately help make India what we always wanted it to be. It's high time, we the educated students should actually think on this matter and should actually take some concrete steps to improve our country and free it frm the clutches of corruption,frauds,nepotism. Only blaming them would make no good for them or for our people instead it will fall only on deaf ears. We the students should actually participate in one or the other manner i know this is actually not possible. But for example if we will unitedly stop giving votes to them then they will have to compulsory work with free mind(i mean to say no corruptionwould take place) Yes, I too agree that we should serve the nation and to innovate it from the infrastructural level we should join politics. But And before after that this try all to will be fall a in responsible place and countryman we will by a showing good your moral values ground to to the honesty a and true sincerity. politicain. get become

And there are so many other ways to serve the country, by being a responsible countryman who pays his tax on time, who dont

take/give bribes, who is honest in behavior, who has a helping hand always, who doesn't bend to the false rules imposed by anyone, who does his duties and ask for proper rights. So it's better if we stop wasting our time in giving hot-blooded statement and rather first be a responsible countryman.

as this

topic concerned to politics, in my opinion students should join politics. bcz students have a lot of energy that anyone has not, they r really curious and active in everything. By the words of Pt. Ravishankar Shukla "students are future of india." so we should be awaken for politics of our country, and if we would not join and be a part of this then we have no right to abuse and ask any questions studies are studnts. has from no politicians. sideffect. But we should not forget that we are students and our ambition is not to be a politician. we should join the politics only if our Its purely true that if we would not join it then who would join it and will we accept him or her as our leader. But dont forget we

Love v/s arranged I do support Arrange marriage bcoz i hav seen a lot of broken relationship in Love marriage cases. before
giving my opinion about this topic,friends do u know this? LOVE MERRIAGES ARE CHOICE ARRANGED MERRIAGES ARE CHANCES.so love merriage is better,at the time of merriage wee know what is suitable for our tastes.And one more thing this is a seond step in every ones life which canot repeat again.we dont know about the tastes and life

styels of other person in case of arranged merriage where as in love merriage a complete understanding is possible

Well...In my view, Arranged Marriage is better than love marraige. I wonder why people think that arranged marraige will always be against their wishes and they will not be consulted at all. The very meaning of arranged marraige is that it has been planned after giving much thought about the pros and cons of the possible relationship. As a member of family, we should take into confidence our parents and relative before taking such a big decision because it smoothens the path of acceptance to the new member in the family. Human are a social being and they always like to be there where they are cared and loved. An arranged marraige doesnot mean that no love exist between the boy and the girl. It is just that the decision to marry has not been taken without consulting guardian. Arranged marraige brings cohesion in the family and provides better environment for the growth of children also. Its a matter of luck and nothing else... Love Marriage or Arranged marriage, u cant blame either for not working out... There are times when Love Marriages fall apart but there are times when even well planned Arranged Marriages dont last... Its a matter of understanding, trust and most importantly luck that makes a marriage successful... I wud infact go with a Luv-cum-Arranged Marriage where i wud be knowing my partner well and my marriage wud also be planned and accepted by my parents... However again, its luck whether it will work or not... U cud be the best of understanding people and u wud be loving each other a lot, but u cant be sure what goes wrong when... Still, if i had to pick, i wud choose Luv-cum-Arranged... its not about love marriages or arranged marriages.marriage is all about loving and understanding each other!! simple! I would prefer an arranged love marriage it is but obvious that i can't marry the one whom i don't know and in today's scenario it is very difficult to trust anyone i dont say that the one whom i'll choose is the best but atleast i'll have the benefit of knowing him for long

which would help me understand him very well . It doesn't mean that i m against love marriage if in my phase of life i dont come accross any person whom i don't love i would definitely leave it up for my parents to decide the guy for me which i very well know will be the best choice . Love marriage- A love marriage is a union of two parties based upon affection and a mutual attraction between the individuals. Arrange marriage- In arrange marriages the parents will introduce their son or daughter to a potential spouse. The parents may briefly talk to the parents of the prospective spouse. From that point on, it is up to the children to manage the relationship and make a choice. According to me both have their good or bad points. In arrange marriages, if there will be any problem in their life or between them there is their family to support them. But in love marriage in this case they will not have their family support. In love marriage between the bride and the groom understanding, carrying, craziness, etcis more then the couple of arrange marriages. So both have good and bad qualities its depend on the bride and the groom to live their relationship happily. I would like to prefer love marriage. Bcoz if we are in love with a person, obviously we will love their negative"s also.... We will be knowing the person for many years and their natural, real character. We can mould them later.. But in arrange marriage, at first the partner will be with great affection and care. But later when their real character appears, we wil become upset. And, if we get a partner with bad character nature, we can't bear that for any reason. Eventhough our parents will support, advice and make us to live together, it's we who are going to live together.. And we can't act for the whole life. We have only one life which we are going to share with only one partner. We can't choose every steps of our life.. But we have rights to choose our partner. So, be careful on choosing the partner. Then have a great love, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy every moment of your life with your partner. I think it is funny when people ask someone about love marrige is better or arrange marriage. It is just like asking a man whether suicide is better or murder. It is wrong notion that luv marriages will always be successful or always a failure. and at the same time u cannot say whether arranged one is the better option...or not..... both the cases have their own pros n cons........... there may be a break in relationship in any of the cases if there is lack of understanding........... so guys,what matters is not how u marry but how u maintain ur relation and how u lead ur life with ur most beloved ones!!!!!!!!!!! I think it doesn't really matter whether it is Love Marriage or Arranged, I think what matters the most the life after marriage, what is the understanding level between them, the main bottom line how you understand your partners feelings and same applies for the partner. Which will actually lead to a successful marriage life? love precious or poisonous? love is certainly precious and not poisonous. it is the most beautiful, intangible gift given to us by the almighty god. the feeling of love itself makes us happy and make us feel very special. it comes to our life in different forms. in the form of parents, brother, sister, friends, lover, husband etc. for example the love of our parents is very precious to us. it is because of them that we are here in this beautiful world,

whenever we feel low their love and affection is always there to support and motivate us. so i feel that love is precious and not poisonous. In my point of view love is precious. Because every human and animal doing love. Love is golden gift given by god. Love is understanding between two person. If love is taking positively love is precious other than poisonous. Is male and female are equal in all aspects? No , I think there are lots of differences in thoughts and applications and hence male and female are not equal in all the aspects. A female has more perseverance and she is more emotionally attached. While a male is generally temporal in nature but he is not very emotional. And talking about the physical strenght men are far stronger than women. Women are more artistic and they are not very expressive while men are the other way. Well.. as far as m concerned..men n women r equal in all aspects..but da factz shez ignorant of wat consitutes a true action..though shez equally capable of changin da face of da world..she has been taught since her childhood to accept da masculine authority..so she gives up criticisin, investigatin n judgin 4 herself..n thereby lacks confidence..2 do sumthin..n whenever women r called upon 4 a concrete action..when they recognise their interest in da designated goals..they r as bold and courageous as men. No,men and women are not equal in all aspects..bcoz given a situation both will react in a different way..percentage of their opinion matching is less...women very emotional and has very good temperment which lacks in men....ofcourse men are physically stronger. WELL, FRIENDS I THINK THAT MEN AND WOMEN ARE NOT EQUAL IN ALL ASPECTS.WOMEN HAVE THEIR OWN ASPECTS AND MEN HAVE THIER OWN. WOMEN GET EMOTIONAL SOON BUT MEN ARE COURAGEOUS IN FACT WHICH IS WHY WOMEN ARE MORE SUITED FOR JOBS LIKE HR BECAUSE IT DEMANDS MORE EMOTIONAL TOUCH WITH HER CO WORKERS.ON THE OTHER HAND MEN ARE CHOOSEN FOR JOBS ESPECIALLY WHICH REQURIES PHYSICAL STRENGTH AND COURAGE WHICH DEFINETLY LAKS IN WOMEN.HENCE I THINK THAT WHEN GOD HAS DEFRIENCIETED MEN AND WOMEN THEN THERE IS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT.THANK YOU
I read all the replies,and i got a thought that "How can we compare men and women?".A female excels in the fields alloted to them by the nature and a man fails in those fields.Similarly man excels in his respective.

If we can take an example....women don`t dare to join army to safegaurd the country.And man don`t dare to or never succeded in bringing up childern as women does.Every has been alloted their own duties.

I think both men and women are similar but not equal they both are perfect at their own places

HI guys I think its a difficult job to compare men and women in 21st century. Where as in past century women were not so qualified and educated..That we can compare to men. But now both have their own qualities but in different ways. Like women are not physically as strong as men but even men are not so qualified in cooking as well as women. So I just wanna say that both have their own qualities but in different aspects.

i agreed all the thoughts.. they tell good points also.. that all points are perfect.. my thought is also male and female are not equal in all aspects.... Yes men and women are not equal in all aspects.first of all they are different look wise ,then their voice quality, and so on! Both men and women hav their own earned status in a society.But from their childhood women are tought to listen to males coz unfortunately our society is still a male dominated one.Infact women get less opportunities to put their opinions in front of the people, while men are always listened.Women are more emotional while men are not.Women are less secure, while men dont face this problem of security.further women can be asked for 'any' favour while men never face this.Women dont open up and are shy but men are otherwise.
"Government Jobs vs Private Jobs. Which one is better?" Govt job has more security and income vs private job but disadvantage of Govt job is there may be less growth but if we get money then there is no problem. 6th pay commission still not implemented in private sectors so if I have offer from both sector for job then i will select Govt. Job first. so Govt job is best in anyway.

I think private jobs are much more better than Government jobs. Jobs are always depend upon the ability and patience of the employee so it is not that Government jobs are always safe than Private. In private jobs they pay the salary as per the work, they have intensive extra remunerations etc. In Private jobs people are mostly young and the selection process is very good because they check the over all of a person but in government job they just got selected by his certificate and just a formality personal interview. Thats the main reason for which tough selection means quality employee in the organization. In private jobs senior authority listen to the advise and suggestion of junior employee for improvement but in Government job they have a fixed rule for a certain period and they do work as per that term. But Time never wait for any one but Government officers work always with old mind set up As i am a student of final year and i also wanted to do Govt. job because in Govt. job your future is secure for your whole life as compare to privates job.In privates job you work very hard to earn money but now a days price rises of all the commodity is very high and its very difficult for private worker to afford very much for commodity because he/she has to save money for his health problem in future.Here are some points of different between the importance of the govt. job and private job. 1)In govt. jobs worker has not much tension of his/her work in every department of govt. where as in private sector person has to do well in in his job to get promotion. 2)In govt job there is not much pressure from the boss on the worker where as in private job worker as to work according the what boss has said. 3)In govt job there is pension after retirement from his/her job which is at least a secure life for the person in old age where as there is no pension in private sector after retirement from his/her job.person has to do work after his retirement to run his/her life in old age. 4)now a days health is now source of problem in all the age groups.The worker of Govt sector gets full treatment money from the Govt. where as in private sector person has to treatment of his/her now money. In my view its better for person to worker in govt sector then private sector.

I think both have their pros & cons.. But, At the end I think, Govt Jobs are more better.. Reasons: 1>Security of Job, 2>Work pressure not that high, 3>Extra benefits like accommodation, PF, Pension etc 4>Its more reputed. 5>Easy to get Loan... Private jobs in my view is good for students to start work as a part time in call centers and MNC to get some experience how to work under the bosses.Like now more younger generation is doing part time jobs in call centers and insurance company which is helping them to get job placement after their studies. IN this view i feel private sector is better for students to work part time with studies to earn experience. Like your are saying that govt sector is working with old mind and functions as compare to private sector because govt sector which has been established has not to show much where as private sector has to work hard then they will be able to establish them self in the market AT the time of recessions most of the private sectors were cosed due to that lot of people get unemployed as at this point of view govt sector is better. This time I am doing private job. I feel that Private job is not good as Govt. Job. In Private Job There are lot of work pressure Time limit to complete work Boss some times misuse u and divert your work also. You can not feel freedom anytime. Yes i am agree with you santosh i think there is also jealously factor in private sector i have seen and heard lot of jealously by the senior members in the private sector and also i feel that in private sector not much importance is given to ladies as compare to govt sector.I want to say that in private sector men are not so supporting to ladies then in private sector. Santosh Kumar singh- You said sixth pay commission not implemented in private sector. In fact sixth pay commission is for central govt employees and central govt. pensioners. state governments also usually follow central govt pay commission recommendations. Private companies have nothing to do with central govt pay commission. The pay scales in govt. are according to sanctioned scales and dearness allowance is revised every six month January and July. The govt employees also get medical and LTC facility. A pay commission is formed to revise pay every tenth year. The pay scales in private sector are not uniform. In unorganized sector, there are no hard and fast rules regarding pay. This is usually by negotiation. A very promising and efficient person may rise more in private. But in govt service, a mediocreneither excellent nor useless- is appropriate. The promotions are by seniority and everyone gets his increments and promotion according to rules and seniority. I feel that one should increase his skill and appear in IAS and other central and state govt jobs as well as private. He may join any job he gets. If after joining govt. job, some body gets opportunity in private, he may well change his employer. There is no difficulty in quitting a job. The difficulty is in getting one. On the whole, govt job is for mediocre and private mainly multinationals suit the extraordinarily talented. It is necessary to properly self assess and choose a job. soubhagya das- What yo state is party true. It is wrong to say that in govt job, just a certificate and interview is sufficient. For Group a and B posts, the selection is by U.P.S.C. The UPSC conducts civil services examination and conducts interview. The Gp C posts are subject to selection by staff selection commission. The selection process in private sector depends on size of organization. The small firms in unorganized sector fill in vacancies without any elaborate procedure. The big companies and multinationals have elaborate procedure.

However it is right that the govt organization suffers from red tape and every thing is done according to rules, no body taking risky decision. The extraordinarily competent persons have better future in private sector and multinationals. Gulshan kumar i am agree with you on the both the post that in private sector the job offer depends upon the organization like in insurance and marketing sector theres need of more and more worker.I said students are working with insurance company during there studies.I want to say now i have seen my senior friends some have to work in govt sector and some to work in private sector.So now its mostly depend on the person in which sector he wants to join in his future and to get job in both sectors person has to work very hard.I want to join govt sector according to my nature,need and family structure.Both has advantages and disadvantage but if i see govt sector has more advantages then private sector. PRIVATE SECTORV/S PUBLIC SECTOR : INDIAN India has adopted mixed economic system itmeans we are having both private sector andpublic sector. These sectors have theirrespective domains. When it is the question of service to common masses, rural development,infrastructure development, backward areadevelopment, or policy implementation thepublic sector takes the lead. But when we talk about profitability, return on investment,autonomy, growth, technology absorption,innovation, low cost solution etc. the privatesector takes the lead.Both these sector s have different roles to play.They are doing a great job in their respectivedomains. The public sector must operate in sectors related to common masses or relatedto public policy. Private sector must operate in sectors related to consumer markets,luxury goods, entertainment etc.Both these sectors are important and neither can replace the other. We have to expectgreater cooperation between these two sectors for the development of our economy.Public sector is definitely not a very profitable and efficient sector they have tobenchmark against private sector in terms of profitability, efficiency, and capacity utilization. Private sector has also to play an important role in the years to come.They must develop their knowledge, skills and expertise and try to transform theirknowledge across industries and try to learn from others also. P Let us start with discussion on motives of these organizations. Private sector is forearning profit. In the public section, the primary motive is service to the public. Thus wecan say that it is improper to compare them. They are both right and work in theirresp ective domains. Although there are differences in their working but they are havingdifferent domains.P2:in the public sector the increment in salary is not based on performance but inprivate sector you get performance linked package. There they value your performance.You give better results, you get better package. In public sector, the package increasesafter some time. Thus there is no growth in public sector especially for a very hardworking person. Therefore, in public sector, you cannot get very high motivation. Youcannot work hard and get higher packageH: I agree, but if we talk about the present scenario the private sector is cutting jobs.There are airlines companies and others which are cutting jobs. There are no incrementsand growth in privat e sector. As of today public sector is consistent in its performance.There are no job cuts in public sector.P : we have to look at long term measures of performance assessment. If we look atROCE (return on capital employed), the performance of private sector is much better.However, public sector is able to offer better services as they are willing to go even toremote areas they are for the benefit of common people.P2:in public sector there are only limited sectors in private sector you have far more varieties the government sector job security in private sector is increasing recession is a short term phenomenon it will not remain for a long time.R: in public sector, they dont give you attractive package plus there is very highcorruption if you can manage your time well private sector is betterP2:corruption is there in private sector also. We should look at aspects like job securityalso in private sector they will keep you only till you give performance there are afew companies which a re giving job security most of the private sector companies donot provide facilities, compensation, and social security they are also not able to followethics properly.H: in government sector, there are many facilities like pension plans, etc. we have muchbetter facilitiesP:in private sector now they give you PF and pension (optional plan). There areproblems in private sector but in spite of all these you get better package as seniorexecutive. You get more freedom. There is challenge for you. In pri vate sector, theycreate a truly challenging work assignment for

you. You will be given a challenging work environment. Thus private sector offers a very stimulating work environment. You cantake the examples of excellent projects, which have been done by private sector in lesscost and less time. private sector employee is more affected by the environment than a public sectorenvironment. In private sector, you have to work hard thus we find more creativepeople today in private sector.P2:employees are always under pressure to give the best performance in private sector.P:this is not a drawback of private sector. Private sector creates some goals for you. InGovernment sector no body looks at your performance so seriously. In private sector theylook at quantitative and qualitative performance appraisal. We can take examples of many government organizations like RSRTC which are not able to perform very well.Railways is one exception now.H: in private sector the rules are changed as per changing tim es they offer betterpackages they modify their leadership style, they also improve their workingenvironment with the changes in time.P2; private sector is suitable to a person who is target oriented. There are somefacilities, which are provided by on ly private sector like autonomyP:we cannot say which sector is good or better they have different roles they arerelevant in their respective domains. It depends on us as per our convenience.H: if we look at government sector we have a long process of employee selection.Private sector selects on references there are better packages, easier selectionsP:in government sector - there are political issues there are issues like pressure groups,reservation, and public pressure. Thus the appointments are based on many factorsP2:there are employees who are selected for some jobs but they dont do it well.P:the government can provide jobs to poor people in backward areas.R: the question should not be which is better but the real issue is that if both th esesectors improve, our economy will improve people will get better opportunities.H: in the public sector, we are bound in a fixed job there is no autonomy- in privatesector we have far more freedom and autonomy.P:it depends on the field that we have taken up in privatesector, we can change our career faster. In India, the facilitiesoffered by Army (defense sector) are the best in the publicsector still every officer is busy doing MBA and willing toswitch over from Army to private sector.H:Private sector cannot do without the help from governmentsector. There is a great role for public sector. Now private universities are coming up. They are offering better possibilities.

Corruption
The widespread corruption in India is not confined to politicians or the government machinery alone. It is prevalent amongst almost every section of the society. Corruption means " dishonest act". As the reason of dishonesty is greediness and the desire to get work done at any cost.So, to reduce the corruption from India every citizen should understand their role and should know the basic funda for success is Determination, dedication and loyal to your job. Hai friends we are discussing about corruption. Why we are blaming politicians. They are elected by us only. So, we can't blame them. We can't zap the corruption completely but some what eleminate. If we want to eleminate we should have to change ourselves. Recently in A.P wine tenders were called number of interested candidates were tendered for that but the politician of the region they occupied all the shops, took the tenders by their power. If we observe this politicians shows very interest in earing money, not to serve country.How much I am honest? This question should be asked by everyone who is criticising corruption. First of all we must make ourself honest in all aspect of life. If you can't change the world change yourself. Don't run after money or fame like everyone, have a simple and happy life. If I am not able to curb corruption at a large scale by making myself honest I am making a very lesser part of this society honest but I am doing something. Corruption start from the childhood to the end of the life.For taking admission in reputed school or

college we pay extra money i.e we do corruption.There are many things for which we do corruption.So from mt point of view we are the only who can take a role to make corruption less.I will say it is impossible to remove corruption but if we try for an extend then it will surely remove. Friends as we are talking about corruption it is very big problem that we are facing from earlier. But according to my point of view only the name of persons that we read in paper or watch in news are not only responsible for corruption but also the common man is also responsible for that. But I like to tell you that corruption is depend upon the situation and the position of the common man. If any person in hurry and has some urgent work and caught by police he asked police for bribe so that the person get corrup. It's only the dirty smell of garbage that we have created.

I would always stand against the topic by saying that corruption is something that has been made or generated by us (human beings) that has nothing to do with reality. No government or legal bodies can force us to give bribe for admission in reputed colleges unless we don't deserve it. No legal authorities would ask you a bribe to get the suitable job. We don't need to go through a price hick whether basic necessities to obtain a livelihood is just rs-35 (if we are capable to earn it) , not a single company would influence us to hide our salary through tax (if we are a contributing citizen who loves his nation). We and only we are the people who have raised the topic to an extent that most of are addicted to sort out our problems fast despite of looking it rationally. Any success would sustain if we are capable to hold it wisely, we don't need to work through evil to achieve it, and if we are seeking the solution to eradicate corruption then the answer would always come to evolution of "Collective Consciousness" towards the morality rather than a quick fix. Today in this world each and everything we want wether taking admissions or securing good jobs we have to take support of corrption!!! That means for every life attainig work we have to take or give bribe. Every where a serious question is askd"who dissorves more punishment one who takes bribe or one who gives bribe?" Actually in my point of view certainly one who gives bribe is more corrupt because to that person whom your giving will take that bribe becuse that bribe is that kind of money which ca fullfill his/her LIC payments or may deposit his child's fee. That time money becomes his life, all that he can't with his salary he can do with that biribe! We as people or citizens of country feels all that corruption is going on the country is just because of the corrupt politians but had we seen ourselves?Are we corruption free? If no so how can we blame those who are just like us. the difference is only that they take bribe in massive scale according to their position and we takes another chance to blame them!! Friends corruption is a social evil which suddenly canooy be uprooted from the country or the world just like Anna hazare we can try out! YAA one thing more we speak "anna tum sangharsh karo hum tumhare saath h" Why only anna protest alone except supporting can't we protest not with him but yes like him!!! This a topic where disscussion could never end!!! So, just praying that corruption should be uprooted I would say a thanx!!!

As per my opinion,Corruption is nothing but literary Corrupt in our Action. Means disobey the ethical/moral way to solve a problem.In this real world every person has its own problems/troubles and to solve their trouble a person wants the fast and convenient way without caring about what is right or wrong. Corruption may occur in its various forms such as,bribing,Stocking,Misconducting,Price-Hike without prior info under govt/company rules,Abusing system,black money,tax hiding and dishonesty in our work so on... Corruption may give instant happiness or success in our aim but surly it will CORRUPT OUR CHARACTER and destroyed THE PEACE OF MIND lifetime.Your own face hate you to see in MIRROR as IT REMINDS ALL THOSE WORK WHICH CORRUPT YOUR CHARACTER. Corruption start from the childhood to the end of the life.For taking admission in reputed school or college we pay extra money i.e we do corruption.There are many things for which we do corruption.So from mt point of view we are the only who can take a role to make corruption less.I will say it is impossible to remove corruption but if we try for an extend then it will surely remove. I think, Money and Power Corrupt a person.We often blame Politician but have we ever think who elect them!We elect them as our Representative in Government but when we,business man,give them bribe to solve our PERSONAL issues in govt/non-govt organisation quickly.In this way,WE CORRUPT THEM. We cannot eradicate corruption by any means because of the line ' JO JITA WO HI SIKANDAR '. No judiciary, no police, no administration can check it because all want. Friends,Finally I want to say that CORRUPTION can be reduced but can not be eliminated at all until each and every person follow the ethics,manner(Shistachar in Hindi)wholeheartedly.So instead of BLAMING OTHERS,To REDUCE CORRUPTION we should have PATIENCE,HONESTY IN OUR DUTIES.We should follow rules-regulation and laws strictly.We should have AWARENESS PROGRAM AGAINST CORRUPTION and SUPPORT ANTI-CORRUPTION ACTIVITIES IN PEACEFUL MANNER.We should GO AGAINST CORRUPTION And When WE are CORRUPTION-FREE then only we can expect a CORRUPTION-FREE SOCIETY/NATION. First of all we have to change the system. New politicians with moral ethics like anna hazare should be elected. All this political system should be changed. Because 90% of these politicians are corrupted along with man mohan singh. We cannot trust anyone in politics. So we youth create a new world. Hi friends today no country of the world has been able to root out corruption nor will India be able do so. Many people have adopted corruption as their culture. Also in our country the procedure for getting any work done is very long if we want do our work very fast we have to give bribe. Now a days corruption is becoming a king of India. We can't eliminate the corruption but we can try to do so.

Well, for me, as a student of political science, this jaw-dropping example of constitutional burden cannot be considered as one of the major questions that can be asked about modern political practice nowadays, because it has been an overriding issue ever since the era of globalization began. In that, I think you have to agree with me. However, since you raised it as a question, all I have to do is to answer it sticking to my principle that "answers make me wise, but questions make me human". First of all, let me inform you that corruption, in a very real sense, is defined as "the misuse of public power for private gain. " It usually takes the form of bribery, meaning that the public official takes one thing, in return for something else connected with the government. If the public official takes without giving in return, what he takes is merely a "tip". But if the public official takes with the promise that he will give something in return, that is a "bribe". In other words, if the public official receives something and allows it to change his behavior, then, there is "bribery" and not just the Asian custom of gift-giving. Transparency International issues every year a Corruption Perceptions Index, which is carried in its website. Each year, the Philippines is ranked one of the most corrupt governments in Southeast Asia. For example, in 2010, the Philippines is ranked no. 4 most corrupt in this part of the world. Thus, the Philippine government is not only corrupt, but is characterized by an entire culture of corruption. This means that both sectors of society are mostly corrupt, public and private. In a public sector, the three branches of government are mostly corrupt, the executive, legislative and judicial, plus the bureaucracy and the military. On the other hand, most of the sectors who criticize corruption are themselves mostly corrupt: mass media, self-styled political analysts and pollsters. On many occasions, the politicians who are the most vociferous against corruption are the most corrupt. Very often, in a culture of corruption, appearances are the exact opposite of reality. Now if you want to distinguish between the honest and the corrupt official, then you should learn to rely, not on mass media propaganda, but on actual results. As Niccolo Machiavelli once said in his book, "The Art of Politics", "by their fruits, you shall know them". Ask yourself: apart from all the publicity about the official, what has he actually achieved? And in the case of critics of an official, ask yourself: Apart from all the carping against a performing official, what has the critic himself accomplished: Does the critic have a better alternative solution to the problem of corruption? If by chance the answer to the first question is negative, I should say that the official is simply manipulating public opinion. And if the answer to the second question is also negative, then I should say the critic is himself CORRUPT! At the start of the 21st century, the question on the lips of every individual is: "why is our country so corrupt?"The answer is simple, corruption is caused by the maldistribution of wealth. In practical terms, some 90% of the country's resources are owned by 10% of the country's population, who are the rich. The remaining 10% of the country's resources shall be distributed among 90% of the population, who are the poor. Because their are so little resources available for so many who are poor, the poor, when they have the opportunity are impelled to steal money from government, in order to supplement their inadequate incomes. Thus, it is plain that for corruption to be stopped in a certain country, the rich should be divested of a substantial part of their disproportionate wealth which should be distributed to the poor. Corruption is caused by a neo-feudal structure of the economy. Therefore, the basic condition for

eliminating corruption is to change this neo-feudal structure by encouraging the growth of the middle class who will serve to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. I have read all ppl thought and advice and also agree with this, but according to me its became a nature of ppl and they don't make any wrk without bribe, like school collage also take bribr for good mark ifrom schoo;l it has been going on so how can we change our nature ?at all thing crrupted by us. In election time who gives us money cloths we alsowin them and became politician they take our moneythey also also long time to complete our work so guys what do you thinks. Did we right to won this type of ppl before think after take action. As per my opinion,Corruption is nothing but literary Corrupt in our Action. Means disobey the ethical/moral way to solve a problem.In this real world every person has its own problems/troubles and to solve their trouble a person wants the fast and convenient way without caring about what is right or wrong.Because of its our turn So we often give some bribe/use our social or political power.And it may result in quick and we forget all those morals and ethics we often used to teach other.In Hindi a well known fact "Swarth lahi kare sab Preeti" means every one is Selfish in this world.And Infact, no one care about the other and the acts which may harm others.

I think, Money and Power Corrupt a person.We often blame Politician but have we ever think who elect them!We elect them as our Representative in Government but when we,business man,give them bribe to solve our PERSONAL issues in govt/non-govt organisation quickly.In this way,WE CORRUPT THEM. Corruption may occur in its various forms such as,bribing,Stocking,Misconducting,Price-Hike without prior info under govt/company rules,Abusing system,black money,tax hiding and dishonesty in our work so on... Corruption may give instant happiness or success in our aim but surly it will CORRUPT OUR CHARACTER and destroyed THE PEACE OF MIND lifetime.Your own face hate you to see in MIRROR as IT REMINDS ALL THOSE WORK WHICH CORRUPT YOUR CHARACTER. Friends,Finally I want to say that CORRUPTION can be reduced but can not be eliminated at all until each and every person follow the ethics,manner(Shistachar in Hindi)wholeheartedly.So instead of BLAMING OTHERS,To REDUCE CORRUPTION we should have PATIENCE,HONESTY IN OUR DUTIES.We should follow rules-regulation and laws strictly.We should have AWARENESS PROGRAM AGAINST CORRUPTION and SUPPORT ANTI-CORRUPTION ACTIVITIES IN PEACEFUL MANNER.We should GO AGAINST CORRUPTION And When WE are CORRUPTION-FREE then only we can expect a CORRUPTION-FREE SOCIETY/NATION. At least in India. Yes corruption has become a tool for success for many nasty people including many notable businessmen of India. Politicians alone can`t be blamed alone for corruption. Businessmen feed politicians for their own purposes and means. After Independence till now Politicians and business men have looted almost all public sector enterprises. Many government have been sold to corporates for a really disgusting and cheap prices. So my opinion yes in India corruption has become a tool for success.

Friends we are leaving in a corrupted Country but why India is Corrupted obviously because of Congress, they are governed from last 60 years, 60% of their ministers are courrepted and peoples like our prime minister, congress President are supporting such courrepted politicians indirectly, any strong law has not been passed by these corrupted ministers in parliament. Other parties have also corrupted politicians because of Congress party. This party become voilent from 1947 indirectly and directly also. Letest example is of Ramdeobaba. They are making courrepted peoples also by giving money to people and takes their votes. Are we ashamed to give votes to such parties? Because of this the real Social worker like anna demand for janlokpal,Govt lokpal is for to save their Corrupted ministers, ministers are the roots of Corruption and other problems. This is the reality of India. If we votes to such parties then we are also corrupted indirectly or directly.

Hello friends you all are talking about corruption & its effects but you know that who is responsible for that, as per as my concern only we people are fully responsible for that because we are the only one who elects those corrupt politicians, we are giving bribes for getting admission in good colleges and so on for our own selfishness, as per as my opinion each & every person of the country, even the small kids are also corrupted so it is impossible to remove corruption but it can be eliminated at some level if every person of India should take an initiative or protest against these kinds of activities even if you protest against these kinds of activities in your surroundings then we are also able to remove corruption at some extend. Corruption has many facets to it. For some it is a problem. For instance when confronted by a demand for money in lieu of any governmental or non-governmental service. Many have found it as a solution, when confronted with prospect of punishment in form of fine/penalty/loss of time etc. For e.g. a person up against a deadline omits to buy a train ticket. When confronted by a TTE, in 9 out of 10 times the person offers to bribe the TTE instead of paying for the ticket and the fine. So for him corruption offers a solution. Hence, we need to examine issue of corruption from a systemic angle. How can we simplify systems to the extent that compliance or claim for service becomes easier. In above case the railway can put up electronic ticket vending machines on trains to allow for people in a rush to catch trains rather than put in more TTEs to catch ticketless travelers. Anna & Co's theory would imply having Inspectors of Inspectors ad infinitum to check the corrupt. Who polices the corruptors? We cannot eradicate corruption by any means because of the line ' JO JITA WO HI SIKANDAR '. No judiciary, no police, no administration can check it because all want. Money. I am not saying by mere speculation, it is naked true. Yes you can go against. It when you are in youth stage but in later stage, you will see your partner finished his all requirements, like car, banglow, sending his son/daughter to. Good colleges etc. And you have done nothing but pretending as saint. Yes you may.

Face slight trouble from vigilance, but do not worry they will be captured by. Maney. So some extra budget may be kept for them. I am giving an example: I know an retired civil supply officer, now residing in. Sambalpur. He had been caught red handed for taking bribe before 15 years during. His service period, till now the case is pending. He has already spent 8 years of. Retirement. He utilised the corrupted money for building his real estate business. And now getting more than one lakh income per month from these source. Can you. Tell me, if govt heldup his pension which may be about rupees ten thousand, will. He die. You can find many instance like above only 1% or less BEKUFS are getting. Punishment. Remember some post are exists in govt or private sectors, you need not run after money but money will come to you, do not deny, but keep it wisely, spend it wisely. If you can not then do not blame others. Hi friends corruption is an event where the honesty is burried for the one's own selfishness. It starts from the small labour to big leaders. In my point of view our land is full of corruption to provide a solution that is the greatest effort to produce corruptionless India is to put the seed in young minds to avoid corruption on any situation if it happen so punishment should be severed this makes India 2020 a graceful and prosperous country in the world. There must be the moral lessons for against corruption. Im totaly against corruption especial this days is inceasng rapidly. therefore a lot still need to be done especial among our leaders. Leaders must change and change for good. Now a days we don't find a place where there is no corruption in India mostly. By the year 2020 world's 50% of the youth will be in India. If we blame others nothing will come and even they won't change. So we have to be mentally very strong and we must have the determination to make the India the powerful country in the world that means that not in the sense of money only, we have to be respected by every person in the world because our cultures and our mind set. If we the courage to achieve then we will be the. NO:1 in the entire world. And also I'm very happy by seeing this conversation in the net and also so many responses. Now I have the confidence that we can achieve anything not only the corruption and anything we want to change in our society. Corruption start from the childhood to the end of the life.For taking admission in reputed school or college we pay extra money i.e we do corruption.There are many things for which we do corruption.So from mt point of view we are the only who can take a role to make corruption less.I will say it is impossible to remove corruption but if we try for an extend then it will surely rem

If this would have been the seen then the most corrupt countries like Somalia, Iraq, afghanistan were now the most developed and powerful. But this is not true. Many of these country have either collapsed or are on the verge. I wonder how corruption (which leads to downfall) can be necessary for success. Which only comes from hard work and honesty. There is no short cut for success if it would havebeen then every one of us wolud hav been in either iits or iims. Most of the communities in India (such as Bengali) , are succumbed in 'Culture of Poverty' (a theory introduced by an American anthropologist Oscar Lewis) , irrespective of class or economic strata, lives in pavement or apartment. Nobody is at all ashamed of the deep-rooted corruption, decaying general quality of life, worst Politico-administrative system, weak mother language, continuous absorption of common space (mental as well as physical, both). We are becoming fathers & mothers only by self-procreation, mindlessly & blindfold. Simply depriving their (the children) fundamental rights of a decent, caring society, fearless & dignified living. Do not ever look for any other positive alternative behaviour (values) to perform human way of parenthood, i.e. deliberately co-parenting of those children those are born out of ignorance, real poverty. All of us are being driven only by the very animal instinct. If the Bengali people ever be able to bring that genuine freedom (from vicious cycle of 'poverty') in their own life/attitude, involve themselves in 'Production of Space' (Henri Lefebvre) , at least initiate a movement by heart, decent & dedicated Politics will definitely come up. - Siddhartha Bandyopadhyay, 16/4, Girish Banerjee Lane, Howrah-711101. The change has to come from within us. We people should stop giving bribes and electing the same corrupt leaders to power again. I am sure that after all the scams that have occurred in such a short time (one year) ; the people would have become disillusioned with the current governments and would be looking forward to change, as the results of the elections would probably show. Getting success by means of corruption is not really success at all. So I don't think corruption is necessary for success. If people don't wish to work hard ; then they can achieve results the easy way i.e. corruption. We should strive to root out corruption because it results in unequal economic distribution of people- rich getting richer and poor getting poorer. More money more corruption. If the level of corruption has increased in India, it means India is generating more money. Take BMC ( Bombay Muncipal Corporation). The budget of BMC is much higher than the budgets of several small states in India. corruption is at ramphant in BMC. B= Business (it has several projects, contracts etc) M= Money ( if there is business, there willbe generation of more money) C= Corruption ( if there is more generation of money, there will be corruption)

People are involved in corruption who do not like make effort to achieve their goals. Its human tendency make more with less effort. If we try to change this tendency that's mean we are against

corruption. Hello guys!. Being a taboo issue that is 'corruption' necessary for the present politics. I claim, yes its necessary, corruption is not only rooted in our country but deeply rooted in whole world, yet India is labelled as 'Most corrupted country'its because of the ailment of person to person who is going behind "corruption"so called 'evil' presently, Through various analytical studies which says, the human tendency towards earning money is more rather comparing to other materialistic things, its natural though man perform his duties in order to earn his daily bread. He tempts to acquire a higher position or a rich position to maintain high standard of living. We youths born in such corruption which easily tends us to bribe someone to make our needs easily rite? If we are in this position how can our politicians who are father of corruption can be hold? it cannot and it can't, thinking in reality the corruption is necessary for one or the other reason. ! All people who have answered here Including me- I would like to ask these question- Have you never done anything wrong? Haven't you ever bribed anyone to get your thing done fast? It is easy to talk and write when the reality is different. You can reduce corruption but can never eliminate it. Like someone mentioned- it starts from your own house. A Street Vendor comes to sell vegetablesyou tell him/her "I will give you only this much. The other vendor is selling only for this. " You are starting a trend here to bribe that vendor to sell to us. I am just quoting a simple example. Once a politician, always remain a politician. We have to look at ourselves first before blaming others for corruption. Most of the communities in India (such as Bengali) , are succumbed in 'Culture of Poverty' (a theory introduced by an American anthropologist Oscar Lewis) , irrespective of class or economic strata, lives in pavement or apartment. Nobody is at all ashamed of the deep-rooted corruption, decaying general quality of life, worst Politico-administrative system, weak mother language, continuous absorption of common space (mental as well as physical, both).

Hello friends,i think that our society is responsible for the corruption becoz if we are blaming to politicians for corruption then tell me who ellect the politicion and we all know about it that now a days every politician even a village pradhan spends more money to win in ellection and we receive that money so due to this after wining he becomes corrupt so thats why i think we are the people more responsible to corruption. If you ask "what are your hobbies?" to a govt empolyer he may include corruption as one of the hobby because it has deeply rooted in our govt sectors these days. At least we generation must take an initiative to make a way to wipe out the corruption from our country so that our next

generations must not have any topic like "corruption in india" to discuss and finally I'm ready. Somebody thinking, each works are completed by corruption but is not correct one. Nowadays corruption is the important to somebody one. For example if I want to get the connection for telephone I give some amount for telephone connection. While I give amount for that work will be finished for fast. But It's wrong one. So, we have to try to change. Somebody thinking, each works are completed by corruption but is not correct one.

Yes corruption is necessary evil for success in any sphere. Whole economy suffers because of corruption. Eg. R**a took bribe for airwaves distribution which lost 1 lac crore of govt. If same money would have came into system governments debt would have reduced by same amt. And there by interest payaments. There are many such big as well small instances who stopped money to come into system. A Indian govt would have been more richer. One solution is, to eliminate this corruption govt should fasten its system because one pay to get his work done earlier, Yes it is correct that corruption is spreading these days. But it is necessary to some extend. Because to get success in many field, corruption has to be done like to get job in police, to get admission in college etc. But these are us who gave them support. No body can do anything without our support. Like leaders, they corrupt us. But its our mistake to vote them and make them won again and again. So If we will against them we can improve but these are the thoughts which look better in books or in article but not in reality because in fact corruption had build a home in our society and it makes help of people and it will also. But at last I would like to say that often it helps us it is a UNFAIR mean. It is very inconsiderate for any person to call a country corrupt. As per a article Italy is one of those European nation which you can associate India with. In such a case you would find a same section of those people calling their country a corrupt country, but to an amazement Italy is still able to mantain seventh highest spot in GDP, Its not corruption that is hampering national progress its the people who need to work for its compensation rather than just speaking against it. In India corruption cases has always been there and has become such an integral part that growth no more depends on corruption, it is for the people to wake up and fight for their rights.

In the event of launch of sarva siksha abhiyaan it was very evident that this motive did spread to each village. So instead of crying for the amount of money lost during the sarva siksha abhiyaan in form of corruption it is imperative for us to look into the enormous progress made by the government and ensure that each poor child do make it to primary education. What I want to emphasize on is that their are agencies that are working to reduce corruption but it is very important for us to live with corruption and do our work with full honesty, and corruption would definitely come down slowly but surely.

In my opinion corruption is not necessary for success.So friends what is the definitin of success?Sucess is one thing that gives us satisraction by achieving something.If we get something by doing corruption then we can't say it as a success. Success got by corruption will be a temporary one.So we all have to start avoiding corruption by ourselves.

Corruption is just a way to get success but it is not neceessary.Success can be achieve by hardwork.Hardwork makes the person intellectual,its increase the self-esteem and confidence but success getting by giving bribe makes one dependent and in my thinking dependent person can't stand with success for a long time. hi,we can call corruption as a balanced activity because in each and every sector,corruptions can be done according to the particular piece of things to be happened not to be happened,but corruption occurs depending upon an individual body of actions,same way corruptions can be done to achieve reputation,earning money,to see success in industrial or in various business activities,so finally i like to share that corruption plays both negative and positive aspect in this corporate world. Its a shame for our country to know that India stand first for corruption. Since independence the era of corruption starts. Every people in the country is corrupted in one way or the others. Situation makes people enter in to this crooked game. hello my dear friends i am ashwani jain in my opinion corruption is a process which give the response of any work very quickly and lots of chance for positive response here the one question is occur why we preference this process the answer is that every person has want his work is done more quickly without consume lots of time suppose we want to make the driving license the making process of this about 3-4 month and it is very hard process but with the help of corruption it complete only before 1 month and very easy.and according to my think lots of person choose the easy way for complete any work so corruption is increase day by day so government is responsible for corruption I feel corruption is not an neccessary evil in the society,if we people stood at every incedent like imparting and educating each and every people to not support bribe and begging to the people for their work ,it is our rights to ask and get the work done.each and every person should stand tall

and oppose the corruption,corrption is not about bribing it is bieng dishonest to the job,to curb the corruption people should make use of media,Lokayukta and other sectors like CBI.

Corruption is the big virus which is destroying our country at a great level. It starts from us. Even to get good marks in the exam the child has to show some greedy things so that he will do well. But things does not stop here. Even to work for a nation, person who want to become PSI has to pay for a nation.

We all speak about our leaders first. But we the people are the culprits. We have initiated the system, we encouraged by bribing them. The system has been corrupted. Myself a part of this system. No one comes to change the system, we must bring the change. No individual can change it. But an individual should initiate. I will be the one to come front. Can you ?.

Corruption is now the way of life. Presently, we cannot avoid it, but it is NOT necessary for success. Infact success is something which can be achieved only by hard work. It leads to inner satisfaction, and how come we get that if we are corrupt?. Success can never be attributed to corruption. Success is an achievement and corruption a mere downfall. The history witnesses several examples, one among them is Mother Teresa. She was never corrupt. Give a thought to it, friends. Don't try to accept a wrong just because you cannot right it!.

Hi Friends, First of all I would like to claim myself beco'z we are the responsible of corruption. When we do'nt have time we always show our many power instead of standing in queues. We spend our money for completing our work but for the poor people its too difficult to pay money. So my friends we have to take initiative for control corruptions. Jia Hind! Jai Bharat!!

You guyz are speaking about the corruption of lakhs and crores. But actually the corruption starts from our home itself. As per my perception our parents are the beginner of corruption. If we want to go out to buy something for our home, we need commission from mom or dad to go. This is actually the earlier stage of corruption. This made the child to like money and to get more money. While days are going the child became youth, now his commission becomes 100rs from 1rs and 2rs.

So each and everything is lying under the parents hands how they grow their children. If they teach their children about the consequences of corruption and learnt patriotism means nobody in future will go for corruption. At least we youth will try to make future India as 'a corruption-less nation'. Jai hind..!

As far as this topic is concerned we must know that what type of success we are running for. Success through material gain or the real success "the contentment". If we are here for material gain we must be corrupt as the system is corrupt and if we are saying the system is corrupt we must accept that we as a part of this system are also corrupt. How much I am honest? This question should be asked by everyone who is criticising corruption. First of all we must make ourself honest in all aspect of life. If you can't change the world change yourself. Don't run after money or fame like everyone, have a simple and happy life. If I am not able to curb corruption at a large scale by making myself honest I am making a very lesser part of this society honest but I am doing something. There is no about that nowadays corruption have been the charming for politicians. They made our country a corrupted nation and they are playing a important role in not to make the India as a developed country. If we acquire all the money from politicians we can pay the India debt from world bank spectrum bribe is one of them not only this there are many terms of bribe phenomena. If we acquire black money from all politicians we can make all the Indians to educate and we can give employment to all Indians. we cannot avoid this. They have to realise the feeling otherwise it will be the major adverse to India.

Today in every aspect corruption becomes very common, without corruption we can't complete our works. It is really very bad. It shows an adverse effect on our society. In my opinion now days each and every aspect it may be a part of private sector or public sector is corrupting. For example if we want sign of M.R.O of our mandal ,we have to pay 10 rupees to attender of the office. This is the initial stage of corruption. From this stage it spreads over all Government offices. Recently in A.P wine tenders were called number of interested candidates were tendered for that but the politician of the region they occupied all the shops, took the tenders by their power. If we observe this politicians shows very interest in earing money, not to serve country. The higherups by seeing all this non social activities just they maintain silence, because if they take any action they may loose their confidence on that particular so that's way they are become helpless to poor. From buying a match box and taking a big project everything is corrupted, i am also part of corruption. But i want to change this if any one interest me to participate with him.

Internet is a boon or bane

any innovation is neither a "Good one" or a "Bad one".. the use of it makes it... it was said when television came as a new invention that this will spoil our kids and this invention is of no use... history repeats itself even at internet... if people use it properly and wisely..it can even SAVE life... if not.. it can take life(i know im giving a far fetched example but things are happening in this way)... just as use a knife to cut vegetables for meal.. or kill a person.. wht is the fault of the knife? internet in this age & day is very important ... not just for us to access entertainment forums such as this one .. but its one of the quickest ways to get information. its the quickest and cheapest way to communicate. of course it has it bad sides .. but then everything has pros & cons. just my opinion. I believe technology is as good as the user. So goes for internet it can be used for meaning learning and healthy fun or frivolous/illicit activities depends completely on the user Internet is the encyclopedia of everything I wanted to know and everything I didn't know existed. It costs me $30 a month and numerous hours sitting on my butt and keeps my library wall unit in the house not crowded with stuff I will never look at again. Now if only it could do my laundry and cook a meal Daughter is boon or bane? At the same time, there are another set of people who see Daughters as a curse rather than a boon... Times have changed, we have moved into a new era, where we have achieved and developed in a long way... But one of the thing that remains the same or close to truth, is the way Daughters are looked down upon in the Society... Women are always considered to be inferior to men. The girl child is considered to be a burden. The girl child is always looked down upon, while the son of the house is considered to be the Treasure .

Are women still considered inferior to men?

Yes, it is true. Especially in Indian society, many families do consider their daughters to be inferior to their sons. Of course, they do care more about the safety of their daughters as opposed to their sons, but the thing is that the daughter is seen in many households to be a housewife-in-the-making... Someone whose job, from the day she is born, is to wake up early in the morning, wake their husband up and get him dressed, do the same for the kids, drop the kids off at school, come back home, clean, cook, set the table, help with the kids' homework, and then go to sleep, to wake up the next day and repeat the entire routine, taking care of the entire house. There is nothing wrong with that, of course, the thing is that if they don't want to spend their life like that, taking care of their family, then they shouldn't. They have dreams and hopes too; some women do prefer being housewives, and that is perfectly fine, as being a housewife and taking care of the home and family is also a big job to do. However, if they have a wish to work, then they shouldn't be stopped at all! It is completely their choice, to be a housewife or to work, and as long as they can balance their life, be it any decision they choose to take, why should anyone else have any objection? But yes, this mental image does exist that only the man of the family should go to work, bring home the money, and the wife should stay at home and take care of the house. Even sometimes, when the family is having some financial problems, the "traditional values" are too rigorously fixed in the people's minds to allow the wife to go to work, even if she is completely educated and qualified.

Why is there an increasing number of dowry deaths and feticide in the country today??

It is all about pressurization. The young girls who are going to be married off, are sometimes being married because their parents are going through a financial crisis. However, when the groom and his

family demand dowry, what is the family to do? The daughter sees herself as being a complete burden upon the family, and this lowers her self-esteem so much that she feels that she is not even good enough to live anymore, and kills herself. About feticide/abortion, this is also completely based on pressure. As said in the answer below, a male child is considered a boon, and the female child a bane. Today, women go with their husbands to have scans, and if the child is revealed to be a baby girl, then most times they are pressurized to have an abortion done, instead of bringing another "burden" upon the family. And the woman is forced to kill the child. Sometimes, even after birth, (if they have not done a scan), the baby girl is taken and buried alive. This is an entirely horrible concept, and everyone who has done such a thing does suffer emotionally for the rest of their lives, or until a baby boy is born which you can consider to be, metaphorically, a broken toy sent back and a brand new toy sent in its place. You know which is which.

Why is the girl child shunned by society while the boy is looked upon as the sole torch bearer for the family??

This is one of the most prehistoric ideas that exist - they have been around for an extremely long time, and are still in people's minds. When a girl gets married, she either loses her maiden name or it is changed to her middle name (sometimes, if the in-laws don't like the first name, it is changed too!) Thus, the Indian saying, which says "Betian to parayi hoti hain". And it's all because of this that the male child, who will carry on his father's name, is looked upon as the torch-bearer, the person who will "save" the family. Also, the children of a couple always receive their father's name or last name as their surname. In a few families, the children are given their mother's surname as a middle name, but this is not such a popular idea. It does not really matter in society that it is, after all, the woman who gives birth (the families who practise infanticide and feticide also do not understand this) painstakingly, for after all, it is the man who matters, isn't it? Its true betiya ghar ki lakshmi hoti hai...no doubt becoz a female will make a family keeps every one united (not talking abt serials) in real life they will be pillar of support. As I mentioned they unite (simultaneously separte it is not a issue to be disscussed). My views is that this kinda feeling that girls are burden are usually bump in mind of people who are poorer by wealth and health too. They will not think abt today they will think abt her marriage right on. Which is negative thing they feel they are the one who will pay for her dowry etc... but will never think if we give the amount of love or education what we planned to provide a boy this girls may do wonders. Nowadays not only in bac sector people well settled people and even in rich families a mother in law will behaveodd if her daughter in law gave birth to a female...some one should tell what you mother though when u were born??? Abt inferior, yes there has been alaot ego problem .even though we should not see female as lower or some thing all are same. Lekin some times female herself is not confident . Dowry death coz woman herself feels she don't have the ability to fight.. from childhood in her mind it is said that u are not equally to men .so she cant fight and afraid to face the public. Well I am must say very interesting topic.. I agree time has changed..My father has never differentiated between my brother and me but still when it came to late nite parties and all my dad had one line for me that society has made different rules for men and women.. If a boy parties late nite in India wit girls it is allrite.. He is a boy but if a girl does the same thing everyone will pinpoint oh look she was seen wit this boy late nite!! I think late nite party is a very small issue but I jus want to pinpoint that no matter whether we feel that we

are treated equally but there is always some difference between men and women.. Now coming to the questions.. 1. Are women still considered inferior to men? I feel in the modern society the terminology has changed.. We no longer say that women are inferior to men but women are always asked to compromise and adjust.. 2. Why is there an increasing number of dowry deaths and feticide in the country today?? I think somehow the rules has to be changed by us the younger generation. Giving and taking dowry should be absolutley banned.. While the upper class can afford to give dowry the problem falls on the middle class who r burdened to large extent to give dowry for their daughter.. I feel the feticides occur because families feel that they wont be able to give dowry for theor daughters.. But I want to aapeal to all the mothers that they are also women.. How can they kill another women.. 3.Why is the girl child shunned by society while the boy is looked upon as the sole torch bearer for the family?? The sole reason is Indian society is male dominated.. Whether we agree or not even in our families somehow father has the ultimate say.. Even if women earns the verdict of the male is the ultimate!! Well, i agree wid u but here in pakistan even small issues are made into big ones like if i come home late nite bcoz i have gone to my friends party or even to my relatives home or on a wedding my neighbours start gossiping and they tell my mother tht they shudn't allow me to come home late.Tht irritates me very much but thnk god my parents don't mind all these things(i luv them) u know what now in my opinion i think tht girls also have a rite to live as they want(i mean to say there shud b sum kind of decisions of our own)but as time has changed i mostly prefer to come home earlier so tht ppl won't have anything to chat or gossip about!! My answer to ur question:

Are women still considered inferior to men?

Women are considered inferior by most men, even in professions like journalism. Women's work is undervalued both in terms of pay and status. Women are primarily expected to be wives and mothers engaged in undervalued work like reproducing and rearing children, cooking, cleaning and looking after the household.This is totally wrong women also have a right to have a profession and to gain education.In the earlier times women were not allowed to go out of villages for further studies bcoz ppl thought tht women shud be taking care of the children!! First of all, it is absolutely wrong to distinguish and discriminate different sexes this way, be it male or female... Women nowadays are not shunned aside in anything, be it sports, academics, business, anything.... to me, it's superstitious, in a very ironic way. is seen as "Kisi aur ki amanat".Someone who will leave and go.While the son is seen as someone who will take care of his parents in their old-age. As Devashree ^^ put it, men are considered to be those who will look after their family while women walk off.... This is pretty wrong, as in today's world, a woman is one who cares more, about anything. So do men, but there is no reasoning in saying that women don't care. And female infanticide is wrong. So is dowry... While the upper class can afford to give dowry the problem falls on the middle class who r burdened to large extent to give dowry for their daughter.. I feel the feticides occur because families feel that they wont

be able to give dowry for theor daughters.. But I want to aapeal to all the mothers that they are also women.. How can they kill another women.. I absolutely agree, this is the main reason for female infanticide, and also because people feel men will provide more financial profit........ But how can? As she put it, a mother kill her child? Her mother could have killed her, but she let her live... why? Technology Creates Income Disparities
Technology is driving us forward and in this world of I pads, blackberry's we can not comment that technology is a bane for mankind as far as income disparity is concerned it reflects governance deficit and policy crisis. In India there lives two types of societies, the fast web, techie suave societies earning fat and the other is the one which do not have basic amenities. In this regards technology can be used in a better way to provide them better education, and transparent governance so that they may be pulled to run with the fast moving world and may earn in comparision to their urban counterparts. So in my opinion in India its our goverment that has not used technology to effective use otherwise technology bridges the Income gap. Technology doesnt create income disparities. Technology mainly helps in getting the things done in an effective manner and efficient manner. It creates lot of employment. There are other factors which creates income disparities ineffective utilisation of income, corruption. Some feel that Technology created income disparities because it has grown along with the other factors which I mentioned earlier. Technology leads to innovation and creates more employement by increasing the utilization of resources. It directly creates employement to some, where as indirectly creates employement for some others. Technology raises income levels of individuals not the disparities. According to me, technology does create income disparities. better technology leads to more efficient production and also reduces the dependency on manpower which in both ways is favorable to an organization and leads to more profits. as a result, they are also growing rich day by day. In my opinion ,Technology does creates income disparities,because this tells the difference between the rural and urban field,when urban people will see the progress of urban,then they will be excited to know about the that technology,and they will give the attention more and more on technology,from that we can develop the our country.. In my opinion, Yes technology creates economic inequalities between the various strata in our society. Not only does it create economic inequalities but also social ones. A very good example to support my saying is that People who have been employed in very good jobs and those who are getting high perks are given more respect and are looked upon with high esteem in our society. But technology, even thought it has these disadvantages, has a lot more turned out to be a boon to our mankind. As one of our friends has rightly quoted that "Time is Money. ", ya technology saves a lot of time in our everyday life. In this modern era we cannot even dare to imagine a day without these technical gadgets. So in order to support such a good cause the companies are forced to opt those who are technically more advanced. But this issue should not also be overlooked. So instead I say that it is the task of our Government to reach the ignorant and uneducated people in especially the rural areas and uplift their educational standards.

Yes technology does creates income disparities since technology has not been distributed uniformly throughout the country. Some urban areas are far ahead in technology as compared to some rural areas. Thus more technology, more employment, more income and vice versa. Technology have also replaced traditional, time consuming way of doing things with improved less time consuming techniques. It plays important role in developing our economy. So I think in order to survive in this world we need to overlook these disparities. Technology will create a job but the problem is that it is only in the urban area. In rular area there is a less chances of getting a job because of the lackng of technology and the people who are living in rular area they might be lacking of technology. So I think more technology will create more income disparities, Technology is something which has increased the living standards of people and made us know the tits of bits of the world. People have started to use different technologies which has also changed the mindsets and has increased the purchasing power. Different objects like gadgets, automobiles and softwares come up with innovative technologies which has revolutionised the human life at the same time also has created difference and disparities among people. Especially in our country where there are so many people who do not have proper educational background and living standards are not able to use these technologies and remain in the oppressed and suffering side. When people are riding automobiles like Mercedes there are people who do not have money to put oil in their luna. For sure technology is bringing in inflation in various things which is affecting the needy ones and thus bring in income disparities. Ya I also agree that technology have more advantages than its disadvantages. Technology Become Important thing in our daily life & almost technology saves lot of time so that time can use for other work in our daily life. Because of technology the human gets stress free & also people becomes lazy. Technologies does create income disparities. Benjamin franklin said "time is money", and technology saves a lot of time in our daily lives. We should take real life examples here, today we don't have to walk or travel miles to convey our messages we just call or Text from our mobile phones. We get immediate information about the stock market on the mobiles or Televisions, these means makes our life easy and fast so that we can earn more in lessen time. Yes I do agree that tehnology create income disparities. We can see these days all the companies are using technlogy oriented techniqes in running their business. And the one who don't use technology remain behind. A simple example is our farmers who don't know about latest tools and techniques and still use conservative methods of irrigation and they always paid less and work almost double than those countries who use technology oriented techniqes. Ya me agree this point. Technology give a lot of advantages in our day to day life. But its also based on the way of using. For example internet it compress the world with in our hand we learn a lot and share a lot of our knowledge and opinion but its also an way to make bad things. Anyway technology give us 80% advantages and 20% disadvantages. Its all in sense of our use. I do agree that technology creates disparities.this disparity is mainly between the one who is provided to benefit from the technology and the one who lacks access or is not capable of using it.as stated earlier income offered in the urban sector is high as compared to that in the rural sector and the sole reason behind it is technology.

Fuck them who misuse de technology. Many of us are loosing the track and drifting from the topic. We are not talking about the pros and cons of technology. According to me, technology does create disparities in income. Simple explanation to it. A person who knows how to handle and benefit from the developed equipments, machines, etc is considered as a skilled resource. he also gets paid more as compared to a person who doesnt know what technology means and doesnt know his way about it. Maybe the theoretical knowledge both of them have is almost the same..but technology is the deciding factor when it comes to fixing their incomes. So, technology is very important in our life for we take an example can we travel one state to another state. It's important. Many books are in technology like science & technologyin 10th books. Technology makes income, more than non technical method why because by the technology we optain several differant method. Thanks. In my opnion, technology result in income disparities, for we take en ex we can travel from one state to another, and reach with 2or 3 hrs, but when we travel by other transport. It takes 1 or 2 day (railway) but main diff betwent of money amougeen them is money. When we travel from aeroplane like jet airways it takes 4 times money. This alswo shows that technology result in faster. Ya obviously technology makes man very power full because he can do the work very fastly and effectively because of this the companies earn more and more money and the countries annual income goes on increasing. So the country is powerful like USA.

Ya. Technology is surely a developing one which no one can disagree. By tech we can save lot of time which we realise in our day to day life. So tech has diaadvantages too since humans become more lazy as we start utilising this. It is true that technology helps us a lot in our professional life. Due to this within short period we can do many things which increases our income in otherway it enhances the economic growth of our country. If we analyse the situation of JAPAN the country full of technology now has meserable condition in its economy. So applying technology is good but that should be within a limit. Excess of everything is not good. So technology creates income disparities.

I agree with this. Technology having many Advantages than its Disadvantage. Technology is more important one for today's world. Because now with help of technology you can travel from one to another place with Short interval of time without technology you can't travel in Short time. Technology was always a Developing one. For example first Thomas Alva Edison invented more

power consuming lump but today it was developed to less power consuming fluorescent lamp. Like wise Technology was developing day to day. Every one is aware of the benifits and importance of technology in todays world. since many decades we have invented lot of things like power generators, space crafts, aeroplane, ships, televisons, transistors, computers and so on. Today by sitting at home we can get to know about the news of any part of the world through vairious medias, we can also travel any distance comfortably by different modes of transports, we can communicate to one another even though we are located very far distance with in seconds of time. Apart from lot of advantages from techonology, there are threats too in the present senario. As the technology started improving day by day, lot of dangerous things are also invented like guns, bombs, nuclear weapons, bio weapons and so on. Even though every one has knowledge about the causes of these harmful things we are masking the issue as SECURITY PURPOSE for the country (May be true also). Terrorism is one of the good example of misusage of the technology. Finally, every one has to wish that all the things that we got and get from the technology should be used for the betterment of the world, to improve the human life, animal life and to protect our god gifted nature.

Technologies does create income disparities. Benjamin franklin said "time is money", and technology saves a lot of time in our daily lives. We should take real life examples here, today we don't have to walk or travel miles to convey our messages we just call or Text from our mobile phones. We get immediate information about the stock market on the mobiles or Televisions, these means makes our life easy and fast so that we can earn more in lessen time. The topic is not about if technology creates money or not, it obviously does. The point is if it creates disparities in the income level. In my opinion it definitely does as the better the technology the better will be the product and it also curtails the cost of the product to a certain level which may result in higher profit. On other hand if we use obsolete the cost of production increases which result in lowering the profit margin. Thus technology creates income disparities.

In my view thats correct.technology is not just creating income,it has some other advantages too.it saves time,effort and all.with new technology we can complete work in less amount of time,thus we can do additional amount of work too.when we start to use technologies, everything will be easy and simple.it definitely increases income, we can take electric sewing machine for example.during earlier days sewing machine was running by man power and work was a bit hard and took some more time too.using electric machine work can be completed with less amount of time and we can do more work.i am saying technology creates income. I Think its right, We can take a example of rural and urban areas, Just think a people who lives in rural area and running an organization he is working hard to expand his organization but he is less aware of technologies and a person who lives in urban area he running his organization with the help latest technologies like mobile, laptop, latest transportation facilities than think who will be more successful and earn more profit. The answer is clear that the person who lives in urban area and who using technologies in his work will earl high profit cause time and effort saving cause of technology, here the technology creates income disparities.

Developing the Technology is nothing but something developed by more thinking so that the work load of the customer is get reduce, As technology fulfil the customer requirement customer attract to it and the seals of technology increases and income also increases. What the real need of a human being is to get job. Technology creates job in different way. It create works which are done to get development n commforts. People get new optionsin their bussiness which enhance the busineess and by which job opportunities are ceated. Just as there are so many employe in a bank and with the help of computer and note counter machine they can complete their work by the time which enhance the bussiness n development of a country. So I don't think that technology cause to any hinderance in income.

In my opinion technology makes income, more than non-technical methods why because by the technology we obtain several different methods and also we developed in such a way. By this technology we invent any machines which are useful to us, by these machines we also gain a lot of time, In that time we will work another work then we will get more income. By this technology some loses also is there like air pollution etc. So we have to use our technology in useful way.
