In the 60 years of its independence, India has seen a lot of corruption. The Indian economy was subject to extensive regulation, protectionism, and public ownership, leading to pervasive corruption and slow growth.
The Right to Information Act that came into force in 2006 has helped civilians work effectively towards tackling corruption.
In the period 2010-2011, India witnessed various scandals being blown apart by the media, civil society activists and government investigation agencies alike. Scams like 2G spectrum scam, Adarsh Housing Society Scam, Commonwealth games scam and many more brought about name of various central ministers, chief ministers and even members of the Armed Forces. This showed how deeply corruption entrenched has become in India.
All of us are hearing/reading in news channels and news papers about Shri. Anna Hazare , who has undertaken a "fast unto death" to demand stringent anti-corruption laws. I would like to thank him for standing up and fighting on behalf of citizens and putting pressure on the Government to re-draft LokPal bill.
The original idea behind the Jan Lokpal Bill is to have the independent body which would investigate cases of corruption within a year and ensure speedy trial within the next year. India Against Corruption has made it its prime objective to bring about the passing in parliament and subsequent effective enforcement of the Jan Lokpal Bill. It has also become the prime force to be organizing the protests in support of the bill.
Giving in to demands from anti-corruption activists, the government on Saturday issued a gazette notification on the formation of a joint committee headed by senior minister Pranab Mukherjee to draft an effective Lokpal Bill.
The notification, one of the key demands of the anti-corruption campaign launched by Gandhian Anna Hazare, has been signed by VK Bhasin, secretary, legislative department of the law ministry.
Apart from the terms of what the committee would do, the notification contains the names of those on the 10-member panel headed by finance minister.
In addition to the efforts made by Shri.Anna Hazare, and to show gratitude towards him, I call upon all the Indians to join hands and fight against the corruption, the change has to start from oneself. Law is to have control, but it is not everythg. Things won’t be changed unless there is a change in oneself.
Let’s say No to Bribery, don’t bribe anyone starting from traffic constable to any Sarkar employee or whomsoever it may be..

Be honest to urself and to people whom you meet, fight against illegal deeds & acts.
Don’t be scared of time taking processes and don’t encourage bribery in order to settle down things fast.
