Corruption Perception Index: What's India's Rank?

By -
Corruption in India increases with each passing day with little or no efforts to end it. Recently, the Transparency International (TI) released the Corruption Perception Index (CPI.) The CPI ranks all the 180 countries based on their level of public sector corruption with data from experts and business people. The TI is an independent, non Governmental organization leading the fight against corruption. The TI, now present in more than 100 countries is headquartered in Berlin, Germany. The ranking is done on the basis of scores from 0 to 100 where 0 denotes the highest level of corruption and 100 denotes clean.
In the CPI for 2017, India along with Ghana, Morocco and Turkey ranked 81 with a corruption score of 40 out of 100. A CPI report released by TI read, “While corruption continues to be a rampant problem across the region, improvements will only be made if there is strong political will for change and if a comprehensive strategy is adopted, not one based on isolated actions.” New Zealand, Denmark and Finland with minimum public sector corruption, topped the list with a score of 89, 88 and 85 respectively. Somalia, South Sudan and Syria hit the rock bottom with the least score of 9, 12 and 14 respectively owing to the high level of public sector corruption.

A lesson

It was one of the worst days in her life. As she sat down inking the pages of her diary,  she saw her father peep through the half-open door. "Why the hell does he do that? He always said he trusts me and yet I find him peeping in my room every now and then.  Damn this perfect life of mine!" she whisper-yelled to herself. Sighing heavily she continued writing and then she heard him again "Baby girl,  grandma needs something,  can you help her out ?" Urgh!! It was one of the ways he dragged her out of her room she kept herself locked in. "Yeah coming" she shouted on top of her voice making it pretty clear how pissed off she was. Nevertheless, she has to be polite with elders,  gulping down the rage she politely asked what she had to do. She then started untangling her grandmother's hair when she heard her brother "Dad,  can I buy this? " he said showing something on his phone. A smile crept on her father's face as he said " yeah

An issue that is very well known but is ignored the best "Stand up against the wrong happening around you" his words keep nagging behind my mind. If only I hadn’t been dependent on someone my life today would’ve been different. It’s been 4 years I’m married to this devil and till date, I haven’t gathered up enough courage to punch him down. Just as I was about to put the curry in the bowl I felt a tug on the corner of my shirt, my eyes then met a pair of black eyes, Zara, my daughter “Mommy grandmother and daddy are very angry. They’re asking you to bring in food as soon as possible” she said picking up the plates and left. My heart clenched looking at her. ‘Oh God, I wish I could give my daughter a better life than this’ I silently prayed. I had to serve them before they lash out at me again, so I pushed away from the thoughts and was on my way to the dining area. My body froze just as I heard a tight slap and saw my angel on the floor. “She is teaching you that, right

Independence day

INDEPENDENCE DAY??? Celebrating independence day, but you really think India is independent? As far as I know, I don't feel we are independent yet.  Why? Politicians, rapists, murders, caste system, hatred among people, aren't these reasons enough to make you feel helpless?  Do you still dare to convince yourself that you are independent? Do you still stand with pride and say 'India is independent'?  Our mothers, sisters, daughters getting raped, manhandled every day. When a girl child is born, it's still considered a bad luck. Poor getting poorer day by day and the rich? Well, they get rich with every passing minute. "DALITS" what does this even mean?? Aren't they humans? Your fellow brothers and sisters? Why are they called untouchables? Why are they kicked out of homes, colleges, and workplace?Would you tolerate if someone did that do you?  Just because some idiot long ago started the caste system, doesn't mean even you have to fol
