Do you agree in setting equal wages for all people in India. For example an IAS officer will have to get the same salary that of a class 4 officer. I think it will reduce corruption,crime etc.

that is stupid. if all have the same wage, then what's the point of a hard working student who aims for a better job and salary?

It will lead to ego clashes and won't work at all. If the government wants to reduce corruption, everyone's salary should be increased and a strict action for corrupts.

This is neither jusitifed nor makes sense.
Why would someone take the responsibility of an IAS officer , and work so hard to get to that point if he's meant to get the same salary/wage as that of a junior officer ?
Maybe they should set a minimum wage rate for those working in certain sectors and economical standards.

FYI , if someone is in a higher role doesn't necessarily means that his job is easier.

Don't think there has been a thread here on which I strongly disagree as much as this.

While I accept that some of the high income people are being paid too excessively, I don't like the idea of equal wages.

It wont decrease crime or corruption. It will only increase it. Corruption was born out of greed and envy. You make everyone equal, and they'll be corrupt so they can have more than the other guy.
Something like what jRay said will help decrease corruption.

This won't work even in Communism.

Absolutely right. Why should I think of becoming a doctor / engineer or even study at all when I can work as a Group D staff and get the same salary?

This doesn't makes any sense at all.

It will so include illegal pole vaulters from bangladesh too so it won't work.

That will only encourage crime and corruption because honest work isn't giving you any rewards, whether you work hard or just do minimal work.

Instead they should set up minimum wages for each category of working jobs..
