Looking back at the history of the Scams in the year 2010, it seems that there is no sector of public life which is immune from corruption…..
Just have a look on the list here, it covers almost every field of public life...
1- The 2G Spectrum Scam : The mother of all scams in post independence India.
2– The CWG Scam: An event hyped to reflect the pride of India but finally turned out to be a shameful figure of massive corruption
3– The Adarsh Housing Society Scam: This particular scam dragged the fair name of defence forces into the mud
4– Dr. Ketan Desai : The President of The Medical Council of India dismissed on the grounds of corruption , which highlighted the irregularities involved in Medical education sector
5– Karnataka Land Scam: involving the family members of Chief Minister Yadurappa
6– The LIC Scam: highlighted the irregularities of financial sector
7– An affidavit filed in the Supreme Court says that eight out of sixteen Chief Justice of India are corrupt.
*********
Its not that corruption took place in the year 2010 only, instead we have a long history of being corrupt...
Here are some of them which took place prior to the year 2010...
1987 : Bofors Scam........................Rs. 64 Crore
1991 : Telgi Scam...........................Rs 43,000 Crore
1992 : Securities Scam....................Rs 4,000 Crore
1995 : Bhansali Scam......................Rs 1,200 Crore
1996 : Hawala Scam.......................Rs 810 Crore
1996 : Fodder Scam.......................Rs 950 Crore
2000 : UTI Scam............................Rs 32 Crore
2001 : Mutual Fund Scam...............Rs 1,350 Crore
2009 : Madhu Koda Scam..............Rs 4,000 Crore
2009 : Satyam Scam.......................Rs 24,000 Crore
***************
Now some interesting figures given by Global watchdog “Global Financial Integrity “......
According to Global Financial Integrity......
1– Between the year 1948 and 2008 Rs 20,79,000 Crore was illegally transferred out of the country....
The same amount could repeat the Indian Government’s Farm Loan Waiver scheme at least 35 times.
2– In the year 2008 black money in India amounted to Rs. 28 Lakh Crore….. Just half the amount could have made India free from foreign debt.
3– The Swiss Banking Association Report of the year 2008 reveals that Indians hold about Rs. 8,50,950 Crore in deposits… Now friends if the same amount in Rs. 1000 currency notes laid end to end, this amount would girdle the whole Globe more than 37 times.
3– In the 2G Spectrum scam Govt. lost about Rs. 1,76,000 Crore… as per an estimate about 880 Crore number of Solar Power Plants , each generating 1MW, could have been installed nationwide.. Enough to resolve our electricity shortage.
