November 27, 2011 At a crossroads once again: "It was in 1980 that the former Maharashtra Chief Minister A.R. Antulay realised to his misfortune that it was not alright for his Government to allot cement to those who desperately needed it, just days after they made a donation to one of the innumerable trusts floated by him."
Bharat raksha Dal: The main causes of corruption in India
How to remove corruption
How to remove corruption from India
In 1991-92, I was the State Inquiry Officer of Assam, the head of the state's anti-corruption machinery. This senior post is usually held by Additional Chief Secretaries (I was given this role while still a relatively junior Secretary).
That experience was bolstered by the experience of being Additional Chief Electoral Officer of Assam which provided me detailed opportunities to look at the causes of corruption.
This, along with a huge amount of other experience, reading, and research, informs the detailed anti-corruption package I've outlined in my book, Breaking Free of Nehru.
The following ILLUSTRATIVE blog posts throw light on this matter:
- The Iceberg of Indian Corruption
- How can Indians possibly believe that MMS is upright?
- India sold out by CPI, Congress and our press to the USSR
- Vohra Committee Report, 1993
- Congress and BJP are equally corrupt
- Is this a joke? Rahul Gandhi honest?!
- Corruption in Indian politics
- Corruption in the Indian media
- Corruption in the Indian judiciary

Why the Lokpal Bill won't work
- The IAC chases after shadows while the causes of corruption are left TOTALLY untouched
- The dramatically over-hyped faith in the Jan Lokpal Bill
- This flimflam about Jan LokPal bill won’t clean India’s image
- Please be clear: Jan Lokpal won’t catch the most corrupt: Sonia and Rahul Gandhi
- The CVC is a sham – let’s just shut it down
The main causes of corruption in India
The main causes of corruption in India are:
1. Continuation of confused Nehruvian Socialism for the last a few decades and hypocrisy of current Liberalism when large scale leaking subsidies still continue.
2. Weak and ineffective Local governments inspite of Amendments 73 and 74 to Constitution of India
3. Fixed and purchased vote bank with manipulated Voters lists.
4. Rusted and fargile steel frame of outdated colonial model of IAS Bureaucracy.
5. Our fundamental rules in governance, Police, Co-operative and other welfare Societies etc are still based on 1860 Act as amended but not implemented.
6. Our private schools/colleges obtain signatures for higher UGC scale salary but pay nearly 50% of the amount. Thus Corrupt teachers/Professors/ management etc are running the schools/colleges.
7. In I.A.S officers Training Academy (LBSNAA) corruption is prevailing and brought to the notice of Cabinet Scy, Prime Minister etc.They are all closing their eyes to save their IAS colleague in LBSNAA.
8. The subsidised domestic LPG cylinders are sold to commercial organisation/hotels etc at much higher rate in the presence of law enforcing agencies, no one stops this for their corrupt material gain. All the Deputy Commissioners of major districts know about it but are helpless.
9. First the government recovers TDS at much higher percentage and when question of Refund comes, for years Refund is not given unless some fixed% is given to Income Tax officials. If you complain there is more harassment in future to make you run from pillar to post.
10. Our spiritual gururs openly accept donation of Black money. Neither the donor want receipt nor Gurus are keen to give receipts.
…. there is endless list for corrupt practices. i do not know what LOKPAL/LOKAYUKT will do in such cases.
…. there is endless list for corrupt practices. i do not know what LOKPAL/LOKAYUKT will do in such cases.
Solution is bury Nehruvian Socialism, say good bye to colonial model of IAS Bureacracy, No subsidies, compensation through welfare means and not subsidies, make local governments strong, effective and vibrant.
CEC of India should be reprimanded if manipulation of Voters lists are found etc. Deputy Commissioner incharge should be sacked for accpeting manipulation under political pressure.
