As kids we are always bribed for chocolates if we study .Gradually we develop a habit of it and it grows with time. These little things grow it's deep roots. Which lead to spoilage in society.
In general terms, bribery means exchange of cash, material or goods in return of a favour that is otherwise impossible or hard to attain.

Not only children but adults too become victims of bribery. Bribe goes hand in hand with corruption. So bribe is there in government offices, hospitals, collages, institutes, schools..... even at the time of marriage in the form of dowry. Concepts like dowry are actually crazy ..... It's a big question why money is offered to groom's family... I mean if a girl is marrying him she is herself a huge asset so why to pay? Not only this. There are many such messy concepts in society just like people offer their hair, liters of milk, gold etc to different Gods according to their beliefs but can you imagine... If you are offering a person something, then it should be pleasant , not most expensive or adorable but it has to be sober. What's the point in offering someone your hair or liters of milk. How will it feel if you open the door and see bunch hair at your feet ? May be he is almighty but still if you don't gift someone such thing then why to God ? I know it's a matter of beliefs and I don't have any intention to hurt it. Bribery is something that promotes corruption. Society is suffering so many ill effects due to bribe.


Corruption affects all countries, whether rich or poor. It erodes national wealth, all wealth clogs to rich people. What can we do to reduce the risk of bribery?
We could start anti bribe forums, anti bribery policies. From top to bottom level clear message should be provided so that no middle ways come through. Hence the wealth could be unclogged and whole nation will become wealthy , not just a single class. Lastly I would like to end with a famous quote by"Edward Coke" -

"though the bribe be small , yet the fault is great "

The end
