You need something like the Untouchables. Highly trained federal agents that can't be bought off.

I addressed this question in my answer to Mubeem

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgOMyY2fP.XNBRp7NK.8HWnsy6IX?qid=20070324211238AA6APDT&show=7#profile-info-yhP7fvYEaa

"There are a few things that are necessary for a corruption-free life.

(1) Rule of Law.
Without solid rule of law, any attempts at reducing corruption will come to nothing. The judiciary must be free, independent, and corruption-free or there is no rule of law.

(2) Clear and Effective standards
People want to do the right thing. Unfortunately, what "the right thing" is they often don't know. For example, I'm in an organization that stores soda in a common-area refrigerator. Some people were consuming the stored soda whenever they felt like it, others reserved its use for organization events. Nobody was really sure what the appropriate use was. We met and decided the soda was for organization use, but anyone could have a can any time they pleased provided they put a small donation in a cup for it and told someone when the soda was almost gone. Implementation of a clear policy lead to people knowing what to do and acting on their knowledge (and a future soda-buying budget for us!).

(3) oversight
Of course, someone could empty out the soda money cup. There's no oversight. Any time you have sums of money handled (particularly larger than a few dollars), there has to be accountability for all of that money. Audits, investigations, and true consequences are necessary to maintain the integrity of the system. You have to be able to try people for acting in a corrupt manner.

(4) public support
People (everyone) has to understand the benefit to acting with honesty and not with corruption. People cannot be punished for failing to offer bribes or turning in corrupt officials, but instead should be rewarded for behavior in accordance with integrity. They need to understand that vote-selling is a primary mode of corruption that in the end simply ends representation based on results.

The United Nations released a great paper on this topic. You should take a look at it."

The procedures in government organisations for doing anything by common public is taking more time. The public does not know the procedures and how to approach. It is also difficult to follow the government rules strictly by the public. In this situation, corruption in small level appears. So in India, it is very difficult to erase corruption.

I can't think of any way to erase it from the men in charge at present...

The only way to prevent it from taking over in the future is educating kids at school, make them know their ethics, and how wrong it is to take money and let people have their own crooked ways. Make this a compulsory topic in all boards, and not just the insensible system of separate state and central boards of education. Abolish that first, in my opinion.
it's
All my school life I've been learning 'eradicate corruption', 'abolish corruption' without ever having a clear idea from the text of what it is. It's only because of my wonderful teachers, and because of my parents, who believed in letting me know about all that was going on, I have a fair idea of what it is...

And... I'd like to say that the statement 'corruption is in Indians' blood' is absurd... There is nothing to be achieved by declaring that it is everywhere, so it can't be eradicated. Politicians have not always been politicians, they are people who have been elected as politicians. If people don't have corrupt minds, how can politicians have them?

So in my opinion, instead of going around saying that all Indians are corrupt and we won't ever get rid of this habit is like lying down and spitting over yourself. It's also inaccurate because my parents and I aren't corrupt and we won't ever give aid to it. If we want to eradicate corruption, we must stop being a party to it in the first place. How many people register lands for their full values nowadays? If people stop dancing to the tunes of corrupt workers and politicians (mind you, they're everywhere), if they REFUSE to pay money and get the work done, why would people go hankering for a bribe?

Simple. Take one big eraser and find the corruption in physical form and erase it. Clean the erased part & put it in jail.

One among several methods to erase corruption-ism is by giving moral education and encourage the public to bring corruption incident to the notice of general public as well as family members of that pointed person.

Corruption in India became 'corruptionism' by making it a way of life. What all you need is only a magic wand to punish all the corrupt. In the process, most of us will also be unwittingly punished because we think only politicians and bureaucrats are corrupted. In fact, we all do that by humiliating others, teaching / showing wrong things to our children, thinking in corrupt ways, telling lies, cheating, being self centred, unkind to others, ignoring social responsibilities and so on.

Don't you think corrupt minds are most dangerous than corrupt people ?

the supreme court has suggested a death penalty for the corrupts, and in the event , it is considered fit to be applied, there is a way to nip the corrupts in the bud. but before that the public servant, tha is the elected govt should have a retirement age;there should not be vote-banking in the name of religions. the govt on one hand tries to remove such discrimination and on the other on it own is giving two hoots by giving reservations of different kind to different castes and religions. so nab the corrupt and kill/beat him on the busy crossing. smacks like dictatorial, bur what else can be done.

You can simply take a rubber (eraser ) and erase the word 'corruptionism' from your question, and replace that with ' corruption'.

It is simple!

no way....it's in Indian genes. It's a virus like malaria, keeps spreading...no permanent end. It's a disease like HIV/AIDS..remains through the life. It's an Indian attitude that all Indians like to wear. It's an identity of being an Indian. It's a productive thought that works on laymen (Govt. officials). It's a business to become millionaire. It's the need of the overall Indian growth. Indians can be weak in many areas, but it can rule the world with weapon of corruption. After all, virus is a virus...and easy to spread...
