Corruption is defined as illegal acts like bribery and lies that benefit oneself. It has existed throughout history in India, seen during Mughal and British rule and in many post-independence scams. Corruption paralyzes India's economic growth by siphoning public funds meant for infrastructure into private pockets. It causes issues like loss to taxpayers, inflation, and lack of development. While laws and oversight bodies aim to control it, citizens must also refuse bribes and work towards permanent solutions like punishing the corrupt and reforming politics and administration. Corruption continues to seriously degrade India's economy unless strong steps are taken by the judiciary and government.
