Corruption In India: A Conceptual Analysis

Dr Prem Chandra* & Dr Raj Kumar**

ABSTRACT

The most significant factor which is responsible for the problem of corruption is the discerning erosion of moral and ethical values in public life as a consequence of growing materialism and consumerism in the wake of westernization, industrialization and urbanization. Obviously, the forces of morality, including the Gandhian principles of ethical life, have been too superficial to penetrate the psyche of an Indian so as to influence his conduct in personal and occupational life. Lust for wealth and power has been instrumental in corrupting public life. Corruption has become a phenomenon of human life.

Keywords: Corruption, morality, ethical values, materialism
