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.
