Why Do Scams Occur in India?
India is growing well, growing well in all terms, like strong economy, great infrastructure, top businessmen, more number of Indians in forbes richest people list, technology, education, strong media, politics on the positive side and when we looking into the worrying part comes big scams, curruption, etc.

We are hearing about new scams almost every week these days and interestingly most of these scams are picked up by the media rather than any of our proud investigating agencies or people who are responsible to monitor our financial activities. Billions of dollars are deposited by many Indians in the Swiss banks which are illegal. Do we have any idea of what is volume of Indian economy inside these Swiss banks. Are we trying to find it out and book the responsible people for this. This money is the money from the tax payers which should be used for the development of the country rather than to boost the economy of the countries where these money are hidden. When a common person fails to pay his income tax or file his income return, he is taken for a ride. Why is our system so easy to break and people are able to get away with tons of tax payers money. Political parties proudly say, we had only 10 scams during our tenure but the opposition party had 20.
1. ISRO Spectrum Scam
2. 2G Scam
3. Commonwealth Games Scam
4. Adarsh Society Scam
5. Reddy brothers
6. Satyam scam
Just imagine, if we are able to use these funds which are figured out in these scams for the development of India, how far we would have reached. Most of the politicians are into politics to make money rather than to serve the country. It is high time for the citizens of India who have the power to elect their representatives to select the right candidate. Our system needs to be revamped and made fool proof with more accountability to avoid such scams and build a strong India.
Why does these scams happen? Are we giving the decision making power to people who are not loyal to the country?

    Charles Ponzi was the man who made the Ponzi scheme famous, and hence the name. Meanwhile, it was Bernie Madoft who exercised this fraudulent method of earning money for the longest period of time in the market under the very noses of the investors. He managed to profit 65 billion US dollars, all by false stories. A similar scenario is evident in the public offices here in Bangladesh, where money speaks and every tongue remain silent. The officers in such workplaces see bribes as a ‘legal’ part of their earning. Bangladesh could have dealt with poverty and the million other problems it encounters far more easily if these parasitic and corrupt politicians and officials hadn’t stolen the large sum of money reserved for developmental purposes. Just because of…

    Bribery & Corruption

    • 2086 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Before the 1990’s, the conventional belief was that corruption in developing countries was practically inevitable and in some cases even desirable. However, a more in-depth investigation into this issue suggests that bribery and corruption can cause significant problems for all parties involved. For example, for suppliers of bribes such as corporations, it can cause many uncertainties since the quality and the price of their products are not the only factors considered in the transaction (Hamra, 2000). Therefore, corporations are not usually in favor of undertaking such business transactions because ultimately, they lead to higher expenses. The host county that receives the bribe can also suffer due to reduced growth, price distortion, low domestic and foreign investment, higher levels of poverty, unsafe products, damaging environmental practices, many human rights violations, and domestic conflicts. Considering all the above mentioned reasons, stakeholders including governments, corporations, nongovernmental organizations, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund, condemn corruption and bribery (Andrew, 2011). However, this paper will argue that even though such practices are condemned and counties may attempt to combat it by signing Anti-Bribery conventions, this will not be adequate until they begin to actively enforce it domestically.…
