the genesis of the bribery in all the society starts wit and started with bringing gifts to each others. So evenin our normallife in maimtaining inter relationship this culture of offering gifts more than one flower or any thing costing more then Rs one should be strictly prohibited to kill this jiant corruption system.

Well, it's like asking whether it is okay to accept bribes. And the answer is NO, NEVER. Doctors should work and earn their livelihood and stop going the bureaucrat-way of living off on perks.

No gift is free and without riders, whether explicitly stated or not. It establishes an unwritten understanding that the recipient will reciprocate be in some way.

Docs have long accepted gifts. The reciprocation Arvind is mostly prescribing that particular brand's drugs. Now: The current trends in these gifts is increasingly costly, perks include many services like travel assistances. The problem clearly is that there are no restraints on "what" could be gifted! There being no just measure of identifying this, its in the best interest of the common public that these "gifts" be not allowed at all!
