Madam Jayashree, when you took that marriage vows to be with your hubby “In sunshine or in rain” , You really meant it. Felt extremely pleased to find people who can STAND and FIGHT for what they think is right. Whenever I read your webpage I feel humbled. It inspires to replicate it in my own environment, maybe in a small measure. I recall the words of swami Vivekananda where he said that a handful of lions are enough can shake the world. When one Bhagat Singh was hanged it spawned hundreds of Bhagat Singhs to take cudgels against British. I feel that the more these “ Axis of Evil” tries to subdue the good , the more people will join your cause . But I just pray to God to give “Strenght” to you and your family. For we unguided youths(who have false heroes like filmi personalities) really need beacon like you to lead us.

Don’t ever think that what one person can do , don’t ever think that this is leading to nowhere – for the STONE WALL looks (falsely) unbreakable until that last blow cracks it open.

Take care and God Bless,

Rohit , Bangalore

Hi, I may have joined thius discussion a little late. but nonetheless what i want to write is still relevant.
The solution is not to go from one place to another in the hope that the new place will be less corrupt. I am currently in the centre and am right now facing what jayashree's husband faced/or is still facing in the state. In fact I am myself thinking of a change of place as it has become almost impossible to stay here. the harrassment of a whistleblower is just too much. however, i feel, change of place is not the solution, change of mindset, of both, the corrupt and the honest. the change of mindset for the honest is to think that we can make a difference by each individual fight and that it is not right to give up the fight. further, the honest need to support each other whenever the ocassion arises.the change of mindset needed for the corrupt is for them to realise that they are not invincible and they are not above law.

Please Help

Hello,

I am writing on behalf of my parents who are a resident of New Delhi . Last year my father, my sister and my mother on behalf of me booked 3 plots with TDI INFRASTRUCTURE PVT LIMITED (Formerly INTIME PROMOTERS PVT LTD) by paying 3 Lakhs for each flat as registration amount. My family did this investment for some returns but instead our money is totally stuck in this scheme.

We have tried to contact TDI for the updates regarding the contract and details of the property we are going to get but we have not received any response till now. On the contrary, we receive letters for cancellation of the booking. Subsequently we asked for refund of our registration money from TDI but there has been no response. We have been chasing this with TDI for last 1 year but TDI is not serious about the refund.

My parents are old and it is there hard earned money. I am sure there are many others with similar situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I believe this is a fraud and should be investigated. My soul motive to write this letter is to expose TDI in Media.

Currently, I am in United States but I am want to come back to India not just to help my parents but to help other people who are fighting agianst TDI and other fraud agencies.

Thanks,

Sincerely,

Tanvi Gandhi

Dear Madam,

My heartfelt appreciations and best wishes to you for your fight against corruption .This evil menace has to be curbed and weeded off it roots that is very deeply rooted in our Indian bureaucracy. Ironically, in India we need to shell out money just to make public servants do their duty. Ethics and Values have to be imbibed in children mind right from their childhood. Parents, teachers can help make this happen. We lack civic sense too. No one minds crossing a stop line when one encounters red signal, blocking free flow of traffic. People view such violations as petty ones and give scant regard. A radical change has to bought in our society. contact at moc.liamg|neziticnaidniduorp#moc.liamg|neziticnaidniduorp

Hi Jaya,

You are right..Going for central deputation is not an answer. We have to understand that the officers from state government are selected for central deputation and there is no gurantee that all central government officers are corruption free. Also if it is beleived that those on central deputation are corruption free or are efficent officers than it clearly means that those managing states are either incapable or are corrupt which is not true. The people managing state government should work according to Constitution of India. So Jaya's husban is very right by serving his home state and is fighting against his own corrupt and selfish bureaucratic fraternity.

Its a good suggestion. However realistically when those who are supposed to initiate such measures are corrupt and narrow minded, I would suspect the effectiveness of this. According to me there is no radical solution for an over all change in the right direction given India's diversified polity. Its a very unique case that has been shaped by such different culture, language, tradition etc. The effect of which is what we see as a decadent social psyche and that is where most of the problems are rooted. Its in the social psyche and as such it is hard to pin point a particular problem and cause. The only way to approach is to start some 'movement' (I have to leave it abstract at this point, but I know what I am talkin about) at school levels. Again, I have no faith in government or similar organizations. Which leaves the responsibility upon us. Hence if a group of similar minded people can come together and facilitate a social system in schools, this hopefully should produce some result in the long run. Initially this may sound a bit utopian and there is no immediate results, but given there is proper planning it would give a direction , if not a change. The underlying principle is nothing but give our youth a direction, and let the change evolve.

Expose the business/partnerships of bureaucrats/politicians

in discussion I am an Indian but not residing in India / I am not residing in India » Expose the business/partnerships of bureaucrats/politicians

Bureaucrats & politicians join hands to avoid development projects/ industries (which are against their personal interests) coming up in India by exaggerating silly issues. On the other hand, they might be involved in businesses (which might be in the same industry) which could even be against the interests of the country.

Lots were heard about politicians & bureaucrats having businesses in the Middle East (mainly in UAE). Some control the businesses directly whereas, some of them have their close relatives control the business. Expose all those businesses in the countries where you reside.

Corruption has to be eliminated from the root

in discussion Suggest useful links / Individual efforts » Corruption has to be eliminated from the root

A two-tier representation can reduce election expenses and corruption

Election expenditure is the root cause for corruption in India. A candidate has to spend lakhs of rupees to get elected and even if he gets elected, the total salary he gets during his tenure as an MP/MLA will be meagre compared to his election expenses. How can he bridge the gap between the income and expenses? - publicly through donations and secretly through corruption. Donations by Corporates and liquor barons to parties / candidates are often to get policies favourable for their business.

How to improve the system

in discussion I am a .... / I am a businessman/industrialist » How to improve the system

my suggestions to improve the system are
1)make all government procurements or government sponsored agencies procurements online. there should not be contact between beneficiery and the service provider.
2)There should be very good salary for politicians (Like singapore). Only educated and qualified and age restricted people should enter politics.
3)Government servents/Politicians/Police personnel/judges should declare their assets and liabilites. The details should reach common man
4)Government should start official website to counter corruption and they should invite response from every citizen about its services.Government should provide platform to rated their servants and politicians and its services

in discussion Fight Corruption / I opposed giving bribe » rules are made to help politicians and goverment servents

I am watching the corruption system in Indian and there is no way you can go against it . I am narrating the methods adopted in the system. these are all few samples ……
1) Most of the central government funds kept for development purpose is funded to state government sponsored societies to avoid C&AG audit. After money is routed to societies no one knows the status of funds. World Bank funds and Central government funds are misused in many ways.
2) Tenders are rarly called by government sponsored societies for its societies. Most of the times societies are headed by commissioners at stated level and they park the money as deposits in the banks for commission or they spend money without following any rules.
3)Assets maintained by each societies neither have any accountability nor no one takes care of assets

I would like to narrate a incident happened with one of my friend. My friend was running business in bangalore. Past 4 months there is a tight finance situation in the market and banks refuced to provide loans expand the business. To meet the commitment he has been forced to take finance from private financiers. In karnataka few private financiers charge daily 10% to 15% Interest. My friend took daily 1% interest from one of the financier. The financier name is Gopi and he is actively doing this finance business from years. They take signature on vehicle transfer forms and take blank signature on stamp papers. If there is slight delay in payment they harass the borrower verbally and physically. They harass physically, borrower sevents and their wife,children and friends to recover their money. Most of the private financiers are all followers of political leaders and they pay regular ransom to their political leaders. In basvanagudi R.V. Devraj (former congress MLA) is one of the noted goon in such category and he has trained lot of goons to control his area.It is not resstricted to R.V devraj alone there are other gangs operating in the similar line. Muttappa Rai, jedarahalli Krishna and most of the criminals circulate their money to business people and control the business circle. Finance is one way of controling the public. Police will be regularly feeded by this political leaders and any one who questions the system will be murdered in open public. My friend had very tough situation to come out from the visious circle.

I have bribed once in my life to a Govt officer in Kerala to have him inspect my parents house to obtain a Corporation approval and address in Trivandrum. I was 14 years old and he might have been around 45 years. It was one of the most painful experiences in my life and I truly felt disgusted. Without paying the bribe, it was close to impossible to get them to inspect the property that was constructed per the corporation guidelines. I am glad that I had to opportunity to experience it at that young age and have never bribed since then.

To your question of fighting bribery in the State level, I agree that going to the Centre wouldnt make much of a difference. I am curios to know if there are other Civil Services employees in IAS, IPS, IFS, IRS etc. that have shown interest and worked towards cleaning up corruption? There is a famous IAS guy Raju Narayanaswamy from Kerala that fought it to an extend. I wonder if these IAS officers can start an initiative to fight against this together? Raju N Swamy I am sure would be willing to assist in this effort too.

I have seen many instances where my peers who have spent years trying to make it to the Civil services become as frustrated as your husband and I am sure they would be interested in working together with your husband and other civil servants towards this cause.

I appreciate your efforts in this cause. Please let me know if I can be of any help. Thanks, Anant (moc.liamg|alarek.tnana#moc.liamg|alarek.tnana)

Let us form a group; EXPATS; and we can set up an automatic system to send emails almost every day to a large number of people in India (the powers be and the lay public). We need to gather as many emails as we can starting with our friends emails (including our American friends). Then those of us who have web expertise can set up the automated system (PUSH); even podcasting and etexting to mobile phones inside India.

in discussion I am a .... / I am a businessman/industrialist » Petty businessmen pay lot of bribe

Most of the bribe is paid to obtain what is legally yours. The bribe paid for undue favours is much less in comparision.
It is impossible to do business in India without paying bribes. Show me a businessman BIG or SMALL who says he has never paid a bribe and I would show you a liar.
Bribe paid as an extortion money,as a facilititator,as a speed money is seldom for tax evasion its to avoid harassment.
Yes the trilogy of Politicians,Bureaucracy and Business does thrive on the axis of Corruption. Lord Machiavelli said that the "King should form such laws that subjects are compelled to break them.A law breaker loses his spine and would never revolt against the King".We live in similar cynical times in India.Hence we do keep paying bribe and perpetrate corruption.

Most of our citizens are apathetic. That is why our govt is so brazen in shielding corrupt officials and does not
prod our legislators to file their statement of assets and liabilities. The RTI is a weapon which can be used to
force govt to clean up. But I think it will take a few years for the citizens to recognise the weapon in their
hands and once they start using it effectively, the govt will recognise that the common man is the master and
the govt should work for his benefit.

Dear Madam,
I am a house wife. My husband is working with a R&D set up of Water Resources Dept. of Govt. of Gujarat.
He is associated with the responsibility related to comply the RTI applications related to his offices.
Recently I came to know about a case of a retired class-II officer, who is facing some allegations.
He is about to complete two years of his retirement and very recently his due amount of leave encashment is
released. Now he is fighting for penalty to be charged to the concerned officials for delay and mental harrassment
he has undergone. I am very much impressed, learning your fight for corrupted practices experienced by your husband.
My equal congratulations is expressed hereby to both of you. Actually my husband has inspired me to write to you.
He being in govt. service may not freely approach you to support your fight, but he is interested to initiate your kind
of fight for unable or weak minded people either in govt. or public.
