Corruption in India is caused by a combination of factors, including lack of transparency, lack of accountability, and lack of political will.

Illiteracy has a negative impact on Indian democracy in a number of ways, including making it difficult for people to participate in the political process, making it easier for politicians to manipulate the electorate, and leading to social unrest and instability.
