List of Scandals, Scams, Corruption from 1948 to 2011

List of Scandals, Scams, Corruption from 1948 to 2011
Corruption is not in for Indians or not for this world.
So today I will be remembering and writing here the list of corruption which happened in India since Indian Independence.

If you find any facts wrong please let me know.


British throne passed the Indian Independence Act after that India got the freedom.
Not like Egypt where President Mubarak ran away.

After Independence British people left the India and Indian Throne was empty.
Our Indian people sat on that throne and started to rule India using the same rules and books which were made for the slave colony of India by the British king.



Difference between American and Indian scam corruption cases is that in America rich or politician both go to Jail and India if you are rich and politician you will not go to jail in your prime age.

Suppose Mr. P robs the bank at the age 20 and he goes to jail at the age of 50 what is the use of such justice?

If Mr. P gets the kickbacks at between age 30 to 45 and then he goes to jail at the age of 70 or 75 what is the use of such justice.

Thus there is no justice in India, Indian democracy is failed and we are living in Mobocracy.

that's really a big effort put by you, keep working on it. And the ultimate truth is not at all hidden from us, ie. its India or outside, taking bribe or rather being corrupted is all within us and we feel like full of guts, it has simply become the backbone of our society. so we shouldnt 'say jai ho', cuz its next to an insult for our motherland.
thanks!

Your last line has touched me. we Indians follow the Gandhian principle of " Don't see/ hear/ speak evil" only when corruption is taking place in top level political circles while we raise cue and cry for petty bribes in lower levels.

this is some thing....which can not be change by gandhism .....need to take the fast action...some people in this universe are not suppose to be for human society ....either if you want to keep alive ..keep them in jail or let them live there life in kala pani....or get them a ride out of our world ...any of the planet.....they are a kind of alien and need to be at different place...otherwise they will ruined our life ..culture..our society....it's us to decide whether they should stay alive or get them" Hang till death" in front of everyone.....

People are still the same....
asking for the way out ...
we are not the kids... we should not have to follow...
we know our law and orders...
but makers have forgotten it....
only we people our following the things....
If wanna to change the system...be in it ...don;t just say and write ...
in above mentioned scandles we have thousands of scandels bt merely hunnders's are arrested and ten's got the custody...
we know in custody as well they are enjoying the life.....
so clear message ....either follow as mentioned or take the command to clean out country if you want a nice and bright future for your kids, your society , your city , state and the country ,...

don;t compromise on scandels .....don;t let our judiciary so lousy and sleepy to decide to take an action if they do....than our responsibility to wake them up....
.....................choose the way************

Still there are number of scandals which didn'dt get focus

A Public servant getting a salary of Rs.1,00,000 approx as per Sixth pay commission gets 12,00,000 in a year and if he serves 30 years he earn 3,60,00,000/- in his whole life you can include increment and other benifits 40,00,000/- total 4crore out of which he pays tax and meets out day to day expenses
I do not find except a few who are having property worth less than their whole life earning

surjeet chandel,  August 15, 2012  

Root cause of corruption in India is dirty politics and vandective politician.Weak laws and directionless set up always helpless to trap the high profile indulger in the business.No one has the right to raise this issue, as politician says they are elected.It gives them limitless powers.They even dont care the general public.What will be the future of India........?

Hi u have a good job.

Unknown November 11, 2012  

Our country or entire world is being ruled by the " Free Market / Open Market " - policy. This theory creates free movement of CAPITAL, which is now known as FINANCE CAPITAL. This will invite automatically a stiff competition amongst the investors & every one trying to increase profit, more profit, more & more profit ... to endless greed. So in this process accumulation of MONEY will be generated to few investors, which in turn will generate corrupt people with increasing process. So it happened in India also.

Unknown November 11, 2012  

Root cause , I've mentioned in short on another chapter, just now. The entire society will be changed one day, obviously. So with the change of society the process will be clipped & such anti human process will be automatically curved. This is what I'm telling is in continuation of my previous comments. This is also a phenomenon of "Social Change" - a Philosophy. One may agree or not, but it is my realization ( not faith )based on " Dialectics of Social & Historical " theory.
