From time to time various estimates have been made regarding the extent of corruption loot going on in India and the figures arrived at have been simply astronomical and mind boggling. One such estimate that appeared recently "Congress' saga of scams: Rs 48,20,69,00,00,000 public money looted in 70 years" highlights the deeds of Indian Congress and its allies. It does not mean that the others in polity is innocent as a lamb, they too had a dip in the national loot proportionate to their period of ruling, mostly in states. A fair estimation will be a 25% addition to this sum as their contribution. Most of this money goes as Black Money: A Curse For Indian Growth Story
All aspects of the Indian
system be it the legislative, bureaucracy or judiciary along with their
functions of law making, governance, economy, delivery of justice etc., etc. are
controlled and managed by the corruption empowered cabals. Most of the decisions in purchases, adherence to rules and regulations in industry and trade, manpower selections, appointments, promotions etc are all controlled by the principles of lick my boots, scratch each other's back and grease my palm in stead of the basic criterion of merit and conforming to correctness. Given below is a list of cabals affecting the future of Indian nation.
- Political Cabals : Politicians all over the globe are considered to be an unenviable class not only by intelligentsia but by many politicians also. A few notable quotes describe the reality of politics and politicians.
"Politics is the last resort for the scoundrels" George Bernard Shaw
We are constantly witness to the ushering of various politicians regarding the fact that there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies in politics notwithstanding any ideological differences or whatsoever. The only guiding factor is the lust to be in power and a shareholder in the national loot.
- Bureaucracy Cabals : There is cabal at all levels of executive, from the lowest to the highest which controls all decisions, monetary or otherwise, recruitments, appointments, postings, transfers etc., based on philosophy of lick my shoes, you scratch my back and I will scratch yours and involving monetary considerations for a large majority of cases. In fact India of the Few- For the Few, By the Few sums up the Indian Reality, not many have the courage to talk about.
- Corruption Cabals : Apart from polity and executive, these cabals include the land and real estate mafia, Hundi and Havala operators, terror funders and smugglers, black marketers, tax thieves and evaders and
- Judicial Cabal : The Collegium, The Bar Council of India, The Common Law Admission Test the three main pillars of the Indian Judiciary have also been taken over by cabals and are in fact The three most arrogant and opaque cabals in Indian legal system .
- Media Cabal : An honest, sincere and unbiased Press/Media, the fourth estate is one of the main pillars of strength in moulding the path of a nation. In India vast majority of media and press has fallen a prey to the baser elements and it is being used by unscrupulous polity through personal and business gratifications through discretionary powers and they in turn help polity to fool the masses. This fact is clear by the fact that this media cabal is on the forefront of condemning all actions of the government, be it on the legislation front or governance front that could jeopardize the identity of fake/duplicate voters, citizens, beneficiaries of government doles, subsidies and beneficial schemes.
- Cabals in Education : In spite of the fact that there is no dearth of talent, merit and brain in the country, the nation is facing the Indian Reality of a Rudderless education system , all courtesy the corruption cabals operating in the field of education with the backing of polity and money power. Meritocracy has given way to mediocrity is a gross understatement. More than 90% of the pass outs from Indian education system irrespective of the stream or level are simply unemployable. This is the story of education infrastructure, facilities, faculties, students and the selections, controlled by different cabals in polity, national governing bodies, individual universities and institutes.
