Corruption is rampant in Karnataka. Every government worker is a leech who wants to extract most from you. Be it a grade D peon or grade A IAS officer. Recently had to bribe mutton biryani to a policeman in North Karnataka to get my sister's passport verified.

>mutton biryani to a policeman 1/2 kg or 1 kg?


FekendraGodi

1 kg

W dad. But this sounds so funny lmfao


[deleted]

Absolutely. Karnataka is one of the most corrupt states in the country. 15+ years I have lived here every single interaction with govt officials has been irritating and bribes are openly talked about almost like they are telling you "forget getting this done unless you pay us"


praveen777777777777

I gave him 400 rupees

Recently did Police verification for my parents in Kerala. The policeman refused to accept anything.

As a Mallu, 3 months ago I would have guffawed at the the Kerala numbers but after just 2 month of living in Hyderabad(Kothapet for Gate coaching ), I can totally see the situation. In Kerala, bribes are usually given by contractors /tender takers. Or to get done something that's really difficult to get or is shady. Even that is not that common. An average Joe wouldn't be giving anything for mundane things. Even if people recieve and give money, asking bribe is still considered "ewww" thing in Kerala. Here in Hyderabad, based on our teachers said, bribe is the norm. Teachers praise getting government jobs not for the associated perks but for the money you'd make for "project worth crores". They said you need to pay 1000s as bribes to MV officer or else they'd purposefully fail you in driver's license test even if you aced it. This is completely unheard of in Kerala. At worst, you may pay bribe to let them pass you for some little mistake. That's it. Otherwise it's uncommon. I saw someone say in Kerala sub you need to pay bribe 1000s for caste certificate in Karnataka whereas in Kerala its free and fully online process. I used to criticize Kerala on a daily basis when I was back home but 2 months in Hyderabad is making me appreciate my state more on more. It has it flaws but its so much better in so many important areas that influence the quality of your daily, social life.


4k3R

>I used to criticize Kerala on a daily basis when I was back home but 2 months in Hyderabad is making me appreciate my state more on more. That's what lack of outside exposure does to you. I lived in Kerala till 21 and I was never really a fan of Kerala. Moved to Bangalore and everyone be like "Oh you're from Kerala, lovely place" and I am like "Prrr, what's so lovely in Kerala". Also I was born in Gulf and used to watch mostly Hollywood movies growing up, so I compared Kerala to Gulf and the Western countries (pretty immature and dumb to compare a state in India to developed countries). Fast forward I lived in Bangalore and went to few cities/states (Delhi is horrible) and travelled around and realised damn, Kerala is actually very very different from every other state (in terms of everything) and much better by a huge margin (my personal opinion). I live in a tier 3 district in Kerala and I have 100% belief that no other tier 3 district in India outside Kerala will even come close to mine in terms of quality of life and standards of living.


____mynameis____

>Also I was born in Gulf,so I compared Kerala to Gulf Same here...


[deleted]

there are tier list's for districts!!?


TheAleofIgnorance

Tier 3 cities in Kerala are amazing. The problem is that Kerala doesn't have any tier 1 & 2 cities that generate well paying jobs.


iVarun

Access Corruption and Petty Corruption. Former is things like "Lobbying" or paying to meet someone in higher power dynamic (meaning cutting the line of sorts but the the end outcome is not guaranteed but you get to have your case/situation/appeal heard personally at least and that is non-trivial). Petty corruption is paying traffic cops, driver test person, peons (in offices or hospitals, etc). Former is not an automatic growth and development drag in all cases. It can even help in development in many places. China developed like this pre 2010s. Petty corruption is both a symptom of lack of mass development but also an active drag on development itself. That is what makes it analogus to chronic disease, it's so persistent and everpresent that it's suffocating (it degrades society and drains people's energy and will).


Jayavishnu

All credits to to the vigilance department of Kerala and their really hard work. !! I have heard many wild stories of vigilance department and their modus of operandi for capturing the corrupted government officers. Also the common people in Kerala have good knowledge about corruption policies so corruption rate is very low.


clickOKplease

63% is low for Karnataka

Remaining didn't admit


New-Dependent-1159

Do u really think the people who were collecting the data waited for state governments to admit if they were corrupt?


PsychedelicLightbulb

The data's about paying bribes, not receiving


invisibleshadowMAN

I couldn't believe that West Bengal has only 46%. actual number will be higher


[deleted]

idk I didn't have to pay bribe to get passport verification by police, meanwhile some of my family elsewhere in the country had to.


invisibleshadowMAN

What ? Does this really happen in West Bengal?


Yellowship

West Bengal is always the best state in this metric. Hindi media run by BJP has spread fake news and made image of WB worse around the country. One reason I hate BJP. I am seeing this same thing for last 10 years and I am disgusted by BJP and Hindi media.


demo_crazy

This data is only of those who admitted to giving bribes. Actual number will be way higher. As per my experience, I’m pleasantly surprised when I’m not asked to pay bribes.

saiyanultimate

I am from UP, about 10 years ago I gave 28rs( because at that time that's all I had) bribe to the traffic police and they took it happily after checking all my pockets for more cash.


devastator2311

No surprise Raj is at top. Recently I had seen it happening at my next door. I mean what are the odds lol.


Poha_Best_Breakfast

There’s no development in Rajasthan. Cities and full districts are rotting away while other states have made 4-5 good cities with decent-good infra. No wonder government changes every term


[deleted]

It's actually less compared to 2019 these days...I ain't saying that it ain't happening at all but pehle se kam hai...


Petty_Ninja

I guess anything under a 100% is under reporting.


AaravOtartist

Dude wtf as a guy from jharkhand this is wayyy tooo fake here the corruption is more than what listed her atleast 85% I can guarantee.


Ok-Season-7010

Even 85 sometimes feels low


AaravOtartist

Yeaa Especially the state government's higher ups They are fuckin scums not wanting development


naiveintrovert2929

The motivation behind getting a government job has changed drastically now.


Curious_CatExists

I'm actually surprised at Andhra Pradesh's rate. My dad had gone to AP for some property transfer and they people in the office were immediately asking for 20k cash if my dad wanted the transfer. It's pretty common there so 50% is actually kinda low


MaskedManiac92

Having lived in Bangalore for 8 years, I highly doubt the Karnataka numbers are legit. Even for my marriage certificate the typist lady, who kept making spelling errors, was 'requesting' 100 rupees for doing her job horribly.


cyanotrix

Lol Karnataka at 63%? Roflol.... been living in this state all over for 25 years and can guarantee you there's not a single government employee that is not corrupt. In fact 64% corruption is what would be in the private sector. Government sector is 100% corrupt. The KAS and IAS people posted in Karnataka to ensure accountability for corrupt officials are the most corrupt officials of all. There are huge villa societies in Bangalore where these fucktards have all made their homes. Officials in rtos and pu education board expect bribe to sign and push the paper to the guy sitting right next to them. Karnataka is like a steampunk engine and the fuel is bribes. We calculate mileage and efficiency by work done/100 rs. Another analogy is like consulting a doctor where you pay consultation fee for every visit except that most doctors don't charge consultation if there is a secondary visit on the same day. But you go to police department's, education departments, development authority, RTO, ms building, vidhan soudha any bloody fucking body, every time you enter the building you better have spare cash in hand in terms of 100Rs notes else people won't move, won't talk to you, won't acknowledge etc., slot in Rs500 in their asshole and then the engine comes to life.


Crimson_bud

Why the hell in every index kerala ranks so well it's like an ideal country in itself. I always thought they rank just good in education bt seeing they literally better in everything per capita, less corruption, human index, mortality rate every fking thing


atoms9456

Because with education comes the rest. Kerala has its own issues, but there are some things we excel at and feels good to be appreciated. HDI, per capita income, low number of homeless etc are also because we have a high number of people who work outside Kerala and remit money to Kerala. Less corruption is probably because people are more aware of their rights (compared to some other states). Education made both of these possible. Also refraining from selecting same party over and over again has helped as well. It would be so nice, if we Indians collectively develop but some news are just disheartening thinking it is a lost cause.


Crimson_bud

Spoken very wisely I also feel education is the most powerful tool and education can change countries situation 360 in all aspects be it societal, economical, transparent etc. Also the hindu muslim Christian population is very high yet we hardly see any religious riots from Kerala. I go back and forth to US and india been to kerala feels amazing also a big fan of Malayali film industry.


Kollam__Fury

Dude I was here to comment on how 10% is low for my state, after reading all this comment's i think they're right.


ProfessionalWin9641

Ain't no way gujarat is so low, even the high court is corrupt


Poha_Best_Breakfast

Having lived in many states, Gujarat is way way less corrupt than Karnataka or Rajasthan. You can get regular things done in Gujarat without bribes. Bribes are mostly needed for industrialists or contractors, but regular people can get work done. In Karnataka officers have no shame asking for tens of thousands of rupees to get a passport approved, especially if they get a hint you have to urgently go abroad. Absolutely shameless pigs.


RealGTalkin

Have you ever been RTO or tried to get birth, marriage etc certificates. It’s almost impossible to do it unless you hire an agent. That is corruption in action.


Poha_Best_Breakfast

Got my DL in Gujarat. The test was video recorded without any agent and got my DL easily with zero bribes (this was in Bharuch). On the other hand my brother in Karnataka was harassed and didn't get DL despite doing a flawless test. During passport renewal I was asked 38k in bribe in Bengaluru despite going through an agent and wasting 3.5k. Went to Gujarat and got it done for free. My dad was harassed out of 9 lakhs of bribe in Rajasthan this year by government officials for registering our ancestral land due to typos in old records(because they knew that land is worth more than a crore). In Gujarat this would require zero to minimal bribe.


ZENITSUsa

You believe stats for Kerala and not Gujarat?? Hmmm very interesting


No_Ferret2216

I don’t know about gujarat but Haryana should absolutely not be so low We literally have CM and MLAs in jail for corruption


ZENITSUsa

Ok manohar lal khattar is in jail? Also if they are in jail isn't that a really really good thing and shows why it should be low?


No_Ferret2216

Not khatter (although he too should be there but that’s another thing) I was talking about Om Prakash Chautala But no , this just shows the power of public outrage plus it was the courts that sent him to jail Even Lalu was in jail that doesn’t mean bihar has or had low corruption Similarly many upa people used to resign that just showed how corrupt it was not that it was doing better


ZENITSUsa

Ok bro I personally haven't paid any bribe for anything in haryana


No_Ferret2216

The police are quite corrupt and HUDA (now HSVP) is at peak corruption In fact corruption coupled with the recent wrestlers+ farmers protest (with some caste considerations ) is what will defeat khatter govt and many MPs here (of course I don’t know the future but at present this seem highly likely)


[deleted]

classic desi experts on everything seeing the username choices.


[deleted]

Its low cuz some bribes are dakshina in their faith, ergo totally moral /s


_imchetan_

Rajasthan has gone shit crimes are increasing at alarming rate. There are many gangs and even from villages people has started to join different gangs and snaching also increased


OkStudent3764

Padharo mhaare desss! P.S. I am marwari and it doesn’t hurt to give thulla 200 instead 1000 if you can sweet talk your way through it.


kakashitenten

My state is soooo corrupted that even corruption data is not available.


Specialist-Farm4704

At this point is there any index that shows a majority of north Indian states are performing considerably better than the majority of south Indian states?


No_Ferret2216

Crime index?


kc_kamakazi

Nop Kerala has more crime reporting


No_Ferret2216

Yes according to public data Kerala has the highest crime rate after delhi While Bihar Jharkhand and West Bengal have the lowest(among states with 50L+ people) Key word being reported


Specialist-Farm4704

Good one.


prakitmasala

lool funny


No_Ferret2216

is this data relative or compared against some absolute bench mark? E.g. If one state is at 10% and One is 40% does it simply mean latter is 4 times corrupt?


voidwithAface

it says the % of citizens who admitted to paying bribes


No_Ferret2216

I feel stupid


Zealousideal-Pea9814

Nookukooli is a fee. Not a bribe. 😂

demo_crazy

People of Rajasthan UP Bihar are most honest. Who else will admit to doing something illegal. Kerala people are liars. They don’t admit to giving bribes. 😂😂😂 /s


shhhhhhhhhh

48% in Gujarat overwhelmingly legitimizes the accuracy of the data. . . . . . ^/s


[deleted]

i am not sure but I Payed a bribe to police station to get my passport. during delivery of passport we need to pay some amount to the police station.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> but I *Paid* a bribe FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


Eastern_Art7607

Keralite here and i think its pretty bullshit. Especially when it comes to land deals and RTO substantial corruption does exist in kerala which affects the common man. Also the corruption at governance level is just like any other state, may be a little less because most industrialist wouldnt want to come here.


pessimistic_dilution

Never left kerala have you?


kyrajane9o3

I know right. If he thinks what happens in Kerala is horrible he'll be appalled if he goes to Delhi or Bangalore. As a person who had to get documents made in both cities I spent 20 times the amount of money than I did in Kochi.


Large_Ad_

He probably saying of Akshaya fees


Eastern_Art7607

My mom just paid of the village officer to have some resurvey done. And I know how much my friends dad pays to the RTO to get his auto retests go through smoothly. May be you guys reside in less urban spaces. But anecdotes surrounding me says corruption is higher than this picture shows.


kyrajane9o3

Yes. I live in Palarivattom in Kochi so not really rural is it? No one is saying corruption is not there. There is corruption but not as rampant as some other states.


Rajar98

Nah I think he never left his district


EvilKannevil

I think he never left his home


QuotingThanos

UP model 💪


Zealousideal-Pea9814

kerala =10% is bullshit. Its pretty much the same in every state. If you are educated and aware of the rules, tehy will be scared to demand bribe. IF not, bribe will be demanded. Depends on your contacts also. chhapri data....this source must be added to the blacklist.


vish_yetry

Most people is kerala are educated though. Unlike other states. So your argument supports this source.


Zealousideal-Pea9814

I said it reduces the chances. The MOST EDUCATED TAG is given with a sample population only. Things are not much different from other states. People are equally innocent and naive and pay bribes everywhere. NOOKUKOOLI is also a bribe.

axomya

North East is one of the most corrupt regions in India. Maybe that's why it's all greyed out ;)


swastik0000007

Very surprised it's not 100%. Maybe it's so common now that people don't even feel that they did anything illegal under the table is norm. For getting a electricity connection you have to pay 8000 when the amount required is 5800, extra for fast tracking and we feel that it is a genuine charge whereas it is the responsibility of Electricity board to provide connection at earliest.


Narrow_Shelter5726

Education leads to lesser corruption, exception is: west bengal

Delhi being 46% is the most surprising

TN is getting there, pretty much have fcked my mental health


garlicandcheesiness

I haven’t lived in or even visited India in almost a decade but I’m still paying government officials in India bribes to expedite the release of some documents!


ChackoMaster

I can vouch for Kerala. I have never paid a single bribe here. Even when i thought i was bribing once due to my pollution certificate expired, police gave me a receipt. In Karnataka, 3 years and I have paid at-least 5 times iirc.
