Anti-Corruption Framework in India

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Comprises multiple laws (Prevention of Corruption Act, Lokpal Act) and agencies (CVC, CBI) to combat graft. Public servants are liable for bribery, abuse of power, or illicit enrichment. Whistleblower protections encourage reports of misconduct. Special courts expedite trials, though backlogs persist. Judicial activism fosters accountability (e.g., 2G spectrum scam). The Right to Information Act has also exposed corruption. Challenges remain: political interference, complex bureaucracy, and lack of witness protection hamper effective enforcement. Strengthening the Lokpal/Lokayuktas, digital governance, and citizen awareness can promote transparency. Understanding this architecture is vital to see how India fights an enduring menace to good governance.
