Yes, surely.

Can the citizens prevent corruption in a democracy?

Democracy provides various right to the people to prevent such kinds of problems (like corruption) what they really don't want.

Who should be more vigilant - a bureaucracy or a citizen?

Both are equally important.

What's your take on Corruption?

Making hundreds of bills will not solve our problems.
The stated Lokpal Bill will surely reduce the corruption, but you know very well how much time these 'sarkaari karmacharis' take to implement.
Immediate action is a must for those kind of bills.

What's your take on Corruption?

Corruption, in itself is a very vast subject.

- There are many issues which gives birth to corruption specially in INDIA.
- Poverty is one of them.
- People take bribe because of many reason, they take it for their family welfare.
- Children of today demand many things they see around in this beautiful world and to fulfill their dreams parents take BRIBE in office.
- There is no simple solution to this demands and their parents faults.
- Parents of such children are NOT at fault actually.

So, the problem of corruption is related not just to giving and taking bride, it is related to the social economic condition of the people living in INDIA.

It is also directly related to the LIFESTYLE we all dream of living into.

- There is no PERFECT SOLUTION to this problem.

Lokpal Bill is fine but it's not enough, we need more than that.

Can the citizens prevent corruption in a democracy?

We can certainly play our part to reduce corruption, at least related to our life.

Who should be more vigilant - a bureaucracy or a citizen?

Those in power don't need to be vigilant, those who are not in power have to be be vigilant to keep their power in check. Thus it's quite obvious.

What's your take on Corruption?

Cannot be removed, but can be reduced. But don't expect any miracle any time soon.
Indians will always tend with the motto of "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em".
