India - The land of Scams

It's bit late to post on this topic, and the new crown which India has got 'The land of Scams' but still this title looks pretty new and fresh as we see daily some or other news channel flashing updates of scams in India, If we check history than I think now the era has changed and more scams are directly printed or telecasted.

According to me these scams were common before economic liberalisation of India, Only difference was at that time we had only Government owned and controlled DD national, but now we have lots of private channels which are free to show any scam.

So in case of scams the difference of economic liberalisation or media liberalization is that people are able to know what are corrupt politicians are doing and have been doing since 1947.

One thing is for sure that Indian Politicians are the worst kinda breed of humans ever evolved, I wanted to write dogs instead of humans before but later thought that dogs are faithfule to the one who gives it food so found it unsuitable title.

The Raja's of Tamil Nadu, Badal's of Punjab, Yedu of karnataka tops the list of the worstness in descending order of corruption. Keeping judiciary and CBI in it's pocket and resignation as a weapon to make some other stupid loyal person face for people and carry on bribery, corrupt practices as it is.

With Central Government sleeping and boasting of just GDP number's and nothing else, what a pity for India, PM makes no statements whatsoever except one like 'Madam se pooch kar bataunga', Politics has reached lowest level, but the good news is that media makes people aware of what is happening in politics and people might consider these scams for the next elections and would not vote for the tainted person.

People have lost their faith in electoral system and donot casts vote because there is no politician with clear history, Voting process has meagre 50 percent turnovers and out of fifty percent turnover the candidate who wins 26 percent is elected to Parliament, This scenario haunts me a lot as clearly the person getting 26 percent means 74 percent people donot consider him eligible person to win, I think in voting too their should be consideration of this point and should go for revoking after cancelling candidature of the earlier candidates as ineligible.

Recently I was reading some english daily and came across figure like Britishers looted some 20k crores from India in 150 years and till now Indian Politicians have looted some 70000 crores, without any development activities, The point to remember is that Indian Economy has grown due to business tycoons and not by any government activities except the liberalisation policy, which has helped our PM in getting residence at 7 Race course road.

At last I want to conclude that if same things keep on hapenning without ant concrete action happening to the culprits then some Bhagat Singh kind of person(s) would surely surface to kill these bastards and return some decency to Indian Politics.

Long live India!!

The basics of Indian Politics - how corruption starts from base

I was thinking from long time to post this but was not getting time for the same, finally I managed to spare some time to tell about the basic functionality model of Indian politics and why it is often referred as politics led by goons. I request to please post your views about the same in the comment section.

It is true that most of the Indian politician are goons who win election by distributing money among the poor people, and the politicians are most after the poor people who can be purchased by distributing a couple of whiskey bottles or by few thousand rupees, which comes down to few hundred rupees in case of Bihar.

I was wondering how can so much dirt get into system that too at every level. well I got answer in few days and here is what I concluded.

Most of the poor people or low income group people(bus drivers, Auto drivers, sweepers ) to list a few are the ones who are very fond of politics not because they like it but to earn money, A person who has no work, no job to earn money is type of hired by the local politician at not much wages but given a commitment that if he/she wins in smallest level election then there would be lots of money around and the person (having no money presently) says a yes and becomes a chela of that to be politician. Now the task is how to earn votes in coming general body election or any other election, Since they have not done anything good for the people but still want to win, they start corrupt practices like giving warnings to people to cast them or face the music(taking advantage of weak police system), In India Police can be termed as goons hired by politicians legally to take money from the literate(well settled individuals). but in case of poor people they dont give such warnings(because they will get nothing in case they even kill the person for not casting the vote to them) So they purchase their votes by paying a meagre amount while also maintaining some sort of ledger of the money spent on whole election campaign. Since they start from smaller area hence people to purchase is very less hence the budget is fixed too. Once they win the election by giving money, bribing police, they feel very happy and first take out the money out from government funds(which is indirectly the taxes collected from the well settled people).

They charge compound interest for their money and fill their stomachs and houses as this stolen money would now become input for purchasing votes for the next level of elections(which covers larger geographical area), The person who helped initially now becomes a legal goon which is used for killing a competitor and the police is used by same politician to show it as either a suicide or road accident(I have not heard of any third type of killing strategy used by the politicians in India for killing of their competitors).

Now when he follows the same strategy and wins the elections again then he becomes the god of the area, which gives him power to do all the illegal activities, drugs, call girls mafias, murders, licenses to builders etc. From all these activities the percentage of now minister's share reaches at end of the day or weekly or monthly(depends on how the politician wants that money) and this is all hard cash. Local police helps in watching that all the illegal activities are going on nicely and they are getting their share at time.

The things shown in movie Rajneeti are very true(however it depicted only the killing of competitors part, I discussed earlier). Now since the whole nexus created by the politician of that area is functioning smoothly he makes a lot of money.

The tragedy here for medium income group or middle class people is that their vote has no effect as the number of poor people surpasses them and would always be the same in future too. but the money which goes into politicians pocket is the one from their taxes :(

Hence no politician ever talks about providing jobs to the people as in that case their own job would end because they know the truth about their doings and no person would ever want that his/her source of income should stop.

So this was my try to depict the working of indian pilitics and indian politicians(in which the middle income group has no effect)
