  • 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.

  • 1) SNC Lavalin Scandal
    1) SNC Lavalin scandal The SNC Lavalin scandal is financial scam related to the contracting of the government with a Canadian company, SNC-Lavalin which resulted in an alleged net loss to the exchequer of 374.50 crore in the renovation and modernization works of the hydro electric power stations at Pallivasal (37.5 mw), Sengulam (48 mw) and Panniar (30 mw) - also known as PSP project in short - installed in between 1940 and 1964 at Idukki district in Kerala state of India. Several politicians were involved and eventually charged, including former ministers G. Karthikeyan of Indian National Congress, Vijayan. The first Politburo member in the CPI (M) history to be prosecuted in a corruption case. History In 1992, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of India rejected a proposal of Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) to renovate the three hydro-electric power projects at Pallivasal, Sengulam and Panniar instead the CEA recommended a capacity upgradation of the generators in these three power projects, after they found that these projects are in good condition. KSEB disregarded this recommendation and went forward with the decision to renovate these projects. The initial negotiations with the Canadian company SNC-Lavalin - a company which had been present in the state's power sector for several decades - began during the tenure of United Democratic Front government, [7] under the leadership of the then power minister C.V. Padmarajan and later, the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with SNC-Lavalin on 10 August 1995, when G.

  • Social Impact of Computerisation of Land Records
    Social Impact of Computerisation of Land Records Vinay Thakur1*, D Dutta1, Ganesh Khadanga1, and D.S Venkatesh1 ABSTRACT Government of India has implemented Computeriation of Land Records throughout the country upto the level of Tehsil investing crores of Rupees to arrest the recurring problems of inadequately maintained land record system with prime object to issue of timely and accurate copy of the Record of Rights, to store land data in reliable and easily reproducible format, to provide efficient retrieval of information in graphical and textual format and to develop land database for various developmental and land reforms activities. The Land record project has been implemented in most of the states. Now an impact study has been done to determine the impact of computerization of Land records project in the society -whether it has succeeded in reaching it’s goal. Keywords: ROR, CLR, Land Records 1. Introduction Land Record system has been maintained since time immemorial by successive rulers to extract land revenue which was the principal source of income to their respective States. In erstwhile India, Sher Shah Suri (1540-1545) was the first king to attempt a major improvement with categorization and measurement of land with fixing of crop rates. This was further improved by Mughal Emperor Akbar (1556-1605) where various methods were utilized for determining land class and land revenue. During British Raj, they introduced land administration system to improve their land revenue collection. They established Survey and Settlement offices in various states and started survey & settlement process. But as there were around 500 princely states during British Raj with several states with British’s own administration, an uniform land laws was too difficult to implement throughout the country; instead they strengthen land act to serve local needs which raised inconsistency in maintaining of land records.

  • Casteing the Net: the Making of a Lagoon and The
    CASTEING THE NET: THE MAKING OF A LAGOON AND THE EMERGENCE OF CASTE AS SOCIAL NETWORK by EIAL DUJOVNY (Under the Direction of J. Peter Brosius) ABSTRACT Melding historical and social network approaches, this dissertation explores the formation of caste identities and social relations between fishers and non-fishers in the Chilika Lake basin. For over a quarter of a century, the lake has been at the epicenter of the “Blue Revolution” in India and is a major source of exported prawns. Unfortunately, the introduction of prawn aquaculture has resulted in rising tensions between the lake’s fisher and non-fisher communities as the latter have abandoned agriculture and longstanding caste prohibitions to enter the fishery. This research investigates how the imposition of capitalist property rights under the colonial system of land revenue administration resulted in a strict division between rights to land and water that polarized the communities and solidified caste identities. At the same time, it reveals the historical undercurrents that spurred the non-fisher communities to embrace aquaculture as a means of reengaging with the lake’s “wastelands” – territories that, prior to the mposition of the Salt Monopoly, supported the local communities in the agricultural slack season. Using Social Network Analysis to explore friendship networks, this study questions whether the increasing similarity between fishers and non-fishers has resulted in a breakdown in social taboos and increased interaction at the individual level. These findings suggest that although caste is socially and historically constructed on the one hand, and subject to political, economic and modernizing pressures on the other hand, it primarily functions as a social network that continues to structure people’s social relations and access to resources.
