Abstract: “[The king], shall protect trade routes from harassment courtiers, state officials, thieves and frontier guards… and frontier officers shall make good what is lost… Just as it impossible not to taste honey or position that one may find at the tip of one’s tongue, so it is impossible for one dealing with government funds not to test, at least a little bit, of the King’s wealth from the treatise.” ( Arthashastra by Kautilya as cited in Kaufmann 1997). This citation shows that the ancient nature of the corruption. Our society is the eastern society and almost our thinking, style, living style value system is also related with the eastern perspectives. So obviously, Nepal has lots of corruption it is the established thought Transparency International, (2013). But the after the earthquake the corruption is increasing before than earthquake (27, June, Nagarik News). In my thought, the causes of the corruption are the socio economic condition or cultural practices of the Nepal. The corruption after disaster is continuing process of corruption of Nepali society. My claimed is that Nepali society is culturally and historically corrupted. So in this article I am articulating the different types of corruption mainly abuse of authorities, fraud and bribes after the earthquake in Nepal and the causes of corruption and bribes after the earthquake. Trying to looking from the eastern (Hindu) perspectives. But I am only concerned in the socio economic and some others technical aspect of the corruption.
