How Many Times Have You Greased Hands?
Have you paid a bribe just once in your lifetime? Give it a thought as you might not have a track on the number of times that you have greased hands. It can be a small bribe or that amounts to lakhs of rupees. Or it might also be that you haven’t paid a penny to get anything done. But, in most cases, there is always a person with an outstretched hand under table, at the other end.
Here is a respondent from Bangalore who reports on our site about having to pay a bribe at every step of life. Interestingly, he has managed to keep a track of the bribe money summing up to Rs 1, 40,000 that he has paid in his lifetime.
Corruption is trying to make its way into every department at a rampant pace. It is almost taken for granted that a common man cannot survive without fuelling the pockets of bribe takers.
