  • Managing Agencies and the Dalmia Jain Case
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Of Traders, Usurers and British Capital: Managing Agencies and the Dalmia Jain Case Tyabji, Nasir 2009 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/79136/ MPRA Paper No. 79136, posted 15 May 2017 07:21 UTC 88 Of Traders, Usurers and British Capital Managing Agencies and the Dalmia Jain Case Nasir Tyabji The Problem Posed The years between 1947 and 1966, covering the period from Independence to the end of the Third Five Year Plan, provided the arena for the most acute debates over the content of industrial development. In essence, these controversies centred on the form of ownership and control of the industrial undertakings which were already in operation and those which were to be established. Primarily at issue, thus, were the roles of the public sector and of the private sector on the one hand, and of Indian and foreign capital within the private sector, on the other. Equally debated at the time was the form of industrial organisation that was appropriate for the private sector under a system of socially regulated industrialisation. In particular, the Managing Agency System, linking a closely held decision making organisation allied to joint stock companies came under extensive scrutiny. This system, originated as an organisational form during the East India Company’s retreat from monopoly in India’s external trade, and subsequently served as the vehicle for British and Indian enterprise in trade and industry.1 Though this system had supporters right upto the time it was abolished in 1969, the myriad methods available for financial manipulation it provided had made it the basis for criticism since at least the time from which Indian industry’s performance came under scrutiny with the establishment of the Indian Industrial Commission over 50 years earlier.

  • Major Scams in India Since 1947: a Brief Sketch
    © 2015 JETIR July 2015, Volume 2, Issue 7 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Major Scams in India since 1947: A Brief Sketch Naveen Kumar Research Scholar Deptt. of History B.R.A.B.U. Muzaffarpur "I would go to the length of giving the whole congress a decent burial, rather than put up with the corruption that is rampant." - Mahatma Gandhi. This was the outburst of Mahatma Gandhi against rampant corruption in Congress ministries formed under 1935 Act in six states in the year 1937.1 The disciples of Gandhi however, ignored his concern over corruption in post-Independence India, when they came to power. Over fifty years of democratic rule has made the people so immune to corruption that they have learnt how to live with the system even though the cancerous growth of this malady may finally kill it. Politicians are fully aware of the corruption and nepotism as the main reasons behind the fall of Roman empire,2 the French Revolution,3 October Revolution in Russia,"4 fall of Chiang Kai-Sheik Government on the mainland of China5 and even the defeat of the mighty Congress party in India.6 But they are not ready to take any lesson from the pages of history. JEEP PURCHASE (1948) The history of corruption in post-Independence India starts with the Jeep scandal in 1948, when a transaction concerning purchase of jeeps for the army needed for Kashmir operation was entered into by V.K.Krishna Menon, the then High Commissioner for India in London with a foreign firm without observing normal procedure.7 Contrary to the demand of the opposition for judicial inquiry as suggested by the Inquiry Committee led by Ananthsayanam Ayyangar, the then Government announced on September 30, 1955 that the Jeep scandal case was closed.

  • Calcutta Notebook Shoummo You Got Blood on Yo' Face You Big Disgrace Wavin' Your Banner All Over the Place We Will We Will Rock You
    Frontier Vol. 43, No. 41, April 24‐30, 2011 Calcutta Notebook Shoummo You got blood on yo' face You big disgrace Wavin' your banner all over the place We will we will rock you. (lyrics from the song ‘We Will Rock you’ by Queen) Kolkata was important in 1969 for the first Rajdhani Express in the country, to speed to the metropolis on 1 March from New Delhi. The second United Front government of leftists and turncoat Congressmen was then in power. Foundation stone of the first underground railway in the country was laid on 29 December 1972 in this city by Indira Gandhi. The full 16.5 km underground stretch became operational in 1995 and even after 23 years since the laying of the foundation stone, it was the only of its kind in the country. In today's scam ridden milieu, this city's claim to fame was the first major post independence financial scam which had its roots in this city. Haridas Mundhra, a city trader duped Life Insurance Corporation of India to invest in the equity of a few bankrupt companies that he managed. The scam led to the resignation of T T Krishnamachari, the then finance minister, in 1958. Calcutta and Bengal has been on a slow gear since then and in 1985, Rajiv Gandhi ended up calling Kolkata a dying city. However, dying or otherwise, Calcutta and Bengal have been continuously exporting manpower of both the skilled and unskilled variety all across the country. Be it sweatshops in Kalbadevi that require finesse to turn gold into ornaments, software hubs in Bangalore and Hyderabad, construction industry in Kerala or dance bars in Mumbai and its suburbs, workforce from Bengal is ubiquitous.
