Enemy within India - Corruption

India , poised to become a super economy by 2020 seems so powerless and so weak in front of her enemy - Corruption. Ranked 84 in the global corruption index, India has a reason to worry. It is estimated that the most corrupt of Indian states are Bihar, Jammu & Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh with Bihar in the lead. What may be the reason?

• Lack of awareness.
  
• Illiteracy.
• Greed.
  
• Corrupt politicians and businessmen.
  

If India is to become a world leader, then these problems have to be solved. Corrupt politicians and businessmen have swindled lots of money and deposited them in swiss banks. Amounting to about $1.4 trillion (rupees 71 lakh crores), it is estimated that with such a huge amount, all poor people could get about Rs. 10 lakh each. Now that's a huge amount for a poor. With this, poverty can be eliminated.
