  • Fighting Corruption in India: an Impossible Dream ABSTRACT
    Journal of Xi’an Shiyou University, Natural Science Edition ISSN : 1673-064X Fighting Corruption in India: An Impossible Dream DR. NAZMUL HUSSAIN LASKAR Assistant Professor & Head, Department of Political Science Dr. Gour Mohan Roy College, Monteswar, Purba Bardhaman- 713145(West Bengal) ABSTRACT Corruption, in its widest meaning, encompasses any conduct which is evil or dishonest. But in no country of the world, the word corruption is used with its widest meaning. In its generally accepted sense, any misuse of public office for private gain is corruption. Corruption is very old social malady. It is pertinent to note that ‘Atharva Veda’ warn people to refrain from corruption by the statement that the wealth earned through pious means flourishes and those who earn through dishonest means are destroyed. Emancipation of our country from the yoke of British rule and taking over the reins of power by the leaders of the freedom movement did not bring about reduction in the extent of corruption in the administration. The effect of corruption is harmful in every field of human activity-whether social, economic or political. Because of corruption, execution of development projects taken up in any society becomes qualitatively poor or remains incomplete. Corruption makes rich people richer and the poor poorer. In this article, an attempt is made to understand and explore the nature and extent of corruption in India and tries to find out some possible way out. Keywords: Corruption, Government, India, Administration, Politics. Introduction: Corruption, in its widest meaning, encompasses any conduct which is evil or dishonest. But in no country of the world, the word corruption is used with its widest meaning.

The First Interim Report The first Interim Report of the Task Force appointed by the Bharatiya Janata Party was released to the public on 17-04-2009. Afterward different world governments, particularly those in the West, have increasingly begun targeting tax havens and intensely began pursuing black money. The US, and France particularly began a huge campaign against the evil of black money. The estimates black money lodged in tax havens by global financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund reached as high as $18 trillion. The instability in the global financial order itself was traced to the evil money. So the issue has now acquired a totally different dimension. In the first Interim Report, the Task Force had suggested broad national and global strategy for dealing with the menace of black money out of the country. The substance of the recommendations of the Task Force in the First Interim Report is summarized here: Global Strategy: • Creating a powerful public opinion and broad national consensus on the issue. Those who do not support the move should be seen as supporters of black economy. • India must become a very active player in the G-20 efforts against secret banking and tax havens.

  • Is Demonetization the Silver Bullet to End Corruption and Black Money? : Lessons Learnt from Indian Experience
    Review of Business and Technology Research, Vol. 14, No. 2, 2017, ISSN 1941-9414 IS DEMONETIZATION THE SILVER BULLET TO END CORRUPTION AND BLACK MONEY? : LESSONS LEARNT FROM INDIAN EXPERIENCE SIVA PRASAD RAVI, NIPISSING UNIVERSITY, CANADA [email protected] ABSTRACT Prime Minister of India, on 08 November 2016, took a major decision to demonetize ₹ 500 and ₹ 1000 notes (bills), removing them as legal tender. This has resulted in 86% of all currency in circulation being taken out of the Indian monetary system. According to Indian Prime Minister, demonetization was resorted to eliminate black money and corruption. It was expected that nearly ₹ 5 Trillion ($70 Billion) of black money will not come back into the system. However, ₹ 15.28 trillion (US $ 239 billion) or 99% of these notes were deposited into banks. This proves that demonetization has not succeeded in eliminating black money. Demonetization’s ability to fight corruption is also limited. Keywords: Black Money, Corruption, Demonetization, Legal tender INTRODUCTION On November 08, 2016, Prime Minister of India announced that ₹ 500 and ₹ 1000 notes in circulation would no longer be legal tender after midnight. This demonetization announcement has caught everyone by surprise. According to the Prime Minister, the main objective of demonetization was to remove black money from the monetary system and other objectives included eliminating corruption, combating terrorism, and rooting out fake currency. ₹ 500 (US$7.50) and ₹ 1000 (US$15) notes constituted 86% of the total currency in circulation in the country. Taking out 86% of currency notes from the monetary system had a profound effect on the country as a whole and caused a great deal of suffering to the people of India.

  • Democracy, Corruption, and Growth of Indian Economy –A Study in India
    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 1 February 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 DEMOCRACY, CORRUPTION, AND GROWTH OF INDIAN ECONOMY –A STUDY IN INDIA *Dr M.J.ANJAN KUMAR Assistant professor Dept, of agricultural economics U A S, G K V K Bangalore 560065 ________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: This paper surveys the relationship between democracy and corruption in India and puts forward some suggestions for possible solutions. It begins by outlining the problem and surveying literature on corruption, growth, and democracy in India and in other developing countries, situating the problem of corruption in the context of India’s democracy and economic liberalisation since 1991. Outlines are then given of the body of anti-corruption and transparency laws, of the government institutions of India, and of the recent anti-corruption movement. India liberalised its economy in 1991, drastically reducing tax rates, tariffs, and detailed micro-control of economic activity. This opened up sectors hitherto reserved for the public sector, including to foreign companies. Analysis is made of the state of economic liberalisation and discretionary regulation in India, which sets the political economic context for corruption. Key Words: Democracy, Corruption, and Economy INTRODUCTION : Corruption in India is a major issue that adversely affects its economy. A study conducted by Transparency International in year 2005 found that more than 62% of Indians had first hand experience of paying bribes or influence peddling to get jobs done in public offices successfully. In its study conducted in year 2008, Transparency International reports about 40% of Indians had firsthand experience of paying bribes or using a contact to get a job done in public office.
