GURGAON: Gurgaon: Although you can oppose in the symbol of a comet, a pitcher, a plane or sunrise, all candidates in Ward No. 30 are fighting the same issues of Bijli, paani, Sadak and sewerage.
A total of 16 candidates have nominated for this predominantly urban area reserved for women. A total count of 11,600 voters, only 20% are from rural areas, including tigers, Samaspur and Jal Vihar colony.
However, some residents think differently. According to SN Mehta, chief resident of Sector-46, none of the candidates has paid attention to the growing threat of uncontrolled liquor vends in the area.
I live here alone with my wife for most of the day, my children are working. A liquor selling just 100 meters from the house is the creation of a bother sometimes difficult for us to even step outside our house, especially during the afternoons.
I would cast my vote for someone who can eradicate this problem. Locals also complain of lack of infrastructure such as street lighting, parking areas and bus stops in the town. While these are some outstanding issues that plague the minds of educated urban voters, the image overlaps with rural voters.
According to Yadav, the BJP candidate Meenakshi, the main problem throughout the neighborhood, like the rest of the city infrastructure is in ruins. The village has no water, sewer and portable. My priority is to establish rights issues and that there was absolutely nothing that gives us many years despite the builders that promise the sky.

INTRODUCTION
What is political corruption?
Political corruption can be defined both with reference to the main stakeholders, namely people in the highest levels of the political system, and the purpose of corrupt behavior, ie to maintain control of power. Therefore, political corruption may be for personal enrichment and group, and for conservation of energy. Often, these two forms of political corruption are linked. Some of the biggest corruption scandals and more serious include both political processes - the accumulation, on one hand and the misuse of public funds extraction or for political purposes on the other. The latter process is somewhat under-researched and understated, since much of the attention in the literature has been accumulating.
Political corruption in the form of accumulation or extraction occurs when government officials use and abuse of their position in power to extract the private sector, government revenues, and the economy in general. These accumulation processes are called extraction, embezzlement, rent-seeking, plunder and even kleptocracy (rule by thieves "), depending on the size and context. The extraction is carried out mainly in the form of bids and solicit bribes in the government, in the processes of privatization and taxes. Military procurement is known to be particularly affected by the removal of political corruption around the world due to the participation of senior politicians, national interests and secrecy.
The other process, if you extract resources (and public money) are used for energy conservation and extension purposes, usually takes the form of political favoritism and cronyism. Includes favouritist politically motivated and distribution of financial incentives and material benefits, advantages, and booty. Techniques include money and material supports to build political loyalty and political support. In power can afford to rivals and the opposition and get a parliamentary majority. By giving preference to private companies can obtain funding from parties and campaigns, and on payment of governmental controls and the control that can stop the investigations and audits and increased judicial impunity. Moreover, by fair purchase decisions of election commissions and through the purchase of votes that can ensure his reelection.
Political corruption takes place at the highest level of the political system, and therefore can be distinguished from administrative or bureaucratic corruption. bureaucratic corruption takes place at the end of the implementation of the policy, for example, in public services as education and health. Political corruption takes place at the end of the policy-making, where decisions on the distribution of wealth of the nation and the game are made.
Political corruption is also generally distinguished from corruption in the corporate and private sector. This is only a matter of academic classification, however, as the bribes offered by private companies, national and international corruption are frequent and significant factors. Our goal here, however, is not on the supply side of corrupt transactions, but on the demand side. Most definitions of corruption also emphasize the demand (state) side, for example by stating that corruption is "abuse of official authority and power for private gain."
In this paper, I will not enter the bureaucratic and administrative corruption, except when relevant to illustrate the systemic nature of political corruption - the pyramid of upward extraction. Let's keep the focus on the demand side, corrupt governments, while recognizing the importance of the supply conductors. We also focus on political corruption in developing countries and transition, rather than developed countries (although the examples in developed countries are used to illustrate certain mechanisms

The whole world condemns corruption in a phase of society, but that does not mean that someone has escaped corruption flu. It is an infection in the country. People around the world participate in the act of corruption. India is no exception to it. Corruption in India has passed the stage even alarming. The highest-ranking officials from around the world a pawn is damaged.
It is a term known to us all, precisely the sense of an illegal, immoral or unauthorized performed at the time of employment. But literally means "Induction (from a public official) of irregular shape (bribery) to violate the rights (such as committing a crime)."
Corruption is a termite in each system. Once it enters the system, is increasing. Today is widespread and has become a routine gradually. Worldwide, bribery alone is estimated to involve over U.S. $ 1 trillion year.

CORRUPTION IN INDIA
What makes India property market a major sink of black money in the country? The scam Adarsh Housing Society threatens to topple ministers, politicians and senior military commanders, but that is unlikely to slow real estate transactions in Mumbai, Delhi or elsewhere in the country. Some of them, according to anecdotal evidence, could include up to 60% to 70% of the payment in hard cash.
"Real estate is where most of the cash flows generated in the economy," admits a Finance Ministry official, who declined to be identified. He should know. In December, the ministry compiled the results of investigations of income tax throughout the country: the relatively modest Rs 4500 crore uncovered, about half-Rs 2,000 crore, was unearthed in the housing sector. Approximately one quarter of total production goes back to the tenth and bullion.
They do not realize often, but despite its success in modern technology and services, India is still largely a cash economy.

The root cause of corruption in India
Everyone will agree that we are one of the most corrupt countries on Earth. There is corruption in all aspects of human endeavor. So much so that sometimes are surprised when we meet with any person or circumstance where there is no scope for corruption!
We must adopt a scientific attitude and the process to eliminate this evil from our society, calls only for the integrity are useless. We need to study and understand the individuals and systems where there is no room for corruption and play / display models for the rest of the population and institutions.
First let's review the qualities of individuals of integrity.
1. Self-esteem is one of the most important common qualities of men and women of integrity. They are happy with your qualification and work can bring. And if its current state does not meet your ambitions, will seek to improve them legitimately.
2. They love themselves, their families and homeland.
3. They do not exhibit behavior such as throwing flights thrash at the place of his neighbor, elbowing each other to beat the queue, so skip the traffic signal location and calm and composed in public, follow the rules and desire harmony in society.
4. While some of them are opposed to public corruption, others are content to be themselves and let clean the behavior of others to their own conscience. But the latter should not be your acceptance of corruption, but due to practical constraints in constant opposition to an overwhelming majority of people.
Let us now examine the qualities of integrity institutions.
1. Honesty is their policy. It is the cornerstone of your business existence.
2. They build and tune their systems to be resilient enough not to fall prey to human weaknesses and shortcomings.
3. They are based on innovation and continuous improvement instead of questionable business practices.
4. They respect the interests of its customers, employees and stakeholders. Its policies and procedures are set to absorb the responsibility and accountability for each individual.
5. Unscrupulous people are struggling to survive and grow in institutions such as the accountability system requires.
Now, if an institution is bigger than an individual, are individuals who are, contitute and run institutions. Therefore, we will see why our country is failing to produce individuals of integrity.
The main reason why our country is failing to produce individuals of integrity due to the lack of intellectual independence. Sitting on top of our national executive are merely parrots just talk about what they have learned by heart. All I know is to imitate and continue the legacy of our former colonial masters. There is a subtle problem here - all those things before independence was first put in place that make us faithful servants of our colonial masters, and keep us from being authors and masters of our own destiny.
For example, take our textbooks social studies, while heap condemnation on all "bad" aspects of our culture and tradition, they have absolutely nothing worthy of note in a positive way. As a result, an average Indian is led to believe that our heritage is bad and we need to "reform" - which is the change in a manner acceptable to the majority of our Western public.
But even as the textbooks call to condemn and abandon all aspects of our native culture, non-conditional extol the "virtues" of other cultures and faiths. Our textbooks are scrupulously avoid being critical of any aspect of foreign cultures / faiths. This results in an average citizen to develop the attitude of being hostile to the country's culture and tradition - that is to its own citizens a member of the indigenous culture and tradition - while timidly towards foreigners and fellow citizens following colonial / foreign cultures and traditions.
This behavior is even more in our media (mainly English). Another simple example - in particular those of ordinary skill to frequent travelers - is that most Indians follow scrupulously the Q outside India, while recourse to normal "elbow your neighbor" when you tap side home.
To summarize our current educational system will continue to create good slaves to foreign masters, but can not create good masters of our own destiny. Upon reaching the non-educated, just follow the behavior of their educational level.
Once we got the intellectual independence, everything else will fall into place. People of integrity have a role to play - to write about what is good about them and their homeland.
We must adopt a scientific attitude and the process to eliminate this evil from our society, calls only for the integrity are useless. We need to study and understand the individuals and systems where there is no room for corruption and play / display models for the rest of the population and institutions.

But even as the textbooks call to condemn and abandon all aspects of our native culture, non-conditional extol the "virtues" of other cultures and faiths. Our textbooks are scrupulously avoid being critical of any aspect of foreign cultures / faiths. This results in an average citizen to develop the attitude of being hostile to the country's culture and tradition - that is to its own citizens a member of the indigenous culture and tradition - while timidly towards foreigners and fellow citizens following colonial / foreign cultures and traditions.
This behavior is even more in our media (mainly English). Another simple example - in particular those of ordinary skill to frequent travelers - is that most Indians follow scrupulously the Q outside India, while recourse to normal "elbow your neighbor" when you tap side home.
To summarize our current educational system will continue to create good slaves to foreign masters, but can not create good masters of our own destiny. Upon reaching the non-educated, just follow the behavior of their educational level.
Once we got the intellectual independence, everything else will fall into place. People of integrity have a role to play - to write about what is good about them and their homeland.

Corruption or eviction
Come the first week of January 2011, when the ashes reach their final stages and the current test team No. 1 in the world, India will face off against the Proteas in the backyard of Africa, far away in distant lands Doha, Qatar, three men at the end of a table long black questioning three other men are bombarded at the other end with questions of all shapes and sizes and in the form of demons. The chin music that will give the trio contaminated Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir, who, as a matter of fact, have not been proven guilty. As they prepare for which, I suppose, we all hope that the final verdict on the point of attachment scandal, but followed by a question mark deep and prolonged.
As the three figures with legal expertise of Michael Beloff, an English lawyer and the head of the ICC Code of Conduct Commission, Albie Sachs, South African retired judge, and Sharad Rao, an attorney of Indian origin leader of Kenya introduced in fact legal and contractual questions to the trio, all of us, waiting waiting for the results, we asked whether the fans and play the knight preachers answers to your questions or not ..........
The answers probably will not meet the issues raised in the minds of the millions perplexed that good in the morning was a nobody named Mazhar Majeed with wads of cash in pounds piled on the table before him, a bottle of beer by the hand and accidentally getting lost in a 'registered' broadcast live over millions to see, around the world. The revelations not only proved to be too expensive for him and the players he managed, but also proved to be another shameful blight on the pride of sport and cricket administration destroyed a whole country, broken and shattered.
sports heroes, build their careers, their entire lives in one important aspect, the reputation ....... reputation as a fighter, a reputation as a champion, a reputation as a man of honor, pride and, above all, dignity. So, why after years and years of hard work and perseverance, which all slip in a moment? How is that a powerful force that can carry more than the spirit of the game and what makes it so? How big money is involved that leads them to sell their careers? These for us blind believers sports stars are the basic questions to be answered, not only in cricket but in one and all domains of the religion called SPORT.
Match-fixing or point of attachment, as in this scenario, are not new to the sport, as we all know. And cricket is not the only area where gamblers keep their guard dogs on their toes. Football, tennis, hockey and other sports that are played at international level have had their share of the shameful tragedy.
In the case of Pakistanis in this recent incident, the most obvious reason behind its absolute illogical, more ethical, the decision appears to be relatively poor financial background of the family from which have emerged suddenly (especially in the case of Mohammad Amir , the youngest and brightest talents of Cricket in Pakistan) to the cash-rich world, where there seems to ever-increasing possibilities of increasing the number of digits in your bank account more than one scenario is not prescribed. Can possibly be spared a thought as the world looks to them as residents of a country on the condition of a "people robbed, for now. But again, the assessment of an athlete of" non-rational ' decision to end his career and yet when you think otherwise, one can only speculate and never draw definitions.
And for many of us, who may think the green refuge is the only motivating factor for such acts of self-destruction, think about your stats again. What could have made John Higgins, former world snooker champion and a champion of champions for the case, strike his honor by the hole in the corner? In April this year, Higgins had been a victim of the spying operations in the same medium as in the case of Pakistan cricket team, News of the World, when the tape was filmed in the talks before games with some assumptions bookmaker. Apparently, at that point in time, Higgins was one of the highest paid athletes in the world and came from what is called "free of corruption" West of Scotland. Although finally somehow managed to save his race meeting a dead end, it was a slap in the face with a six-month ban and a fine of 75.000 pounds simple, which critics call a decision many sports as meek by the officials.
And what are the priorities, do you think, may have led to higher travel captain of Cricket South Africa to lock your personal journey into the iceberg of corruption, yes, I'm talking the late Hansie Cronje. No, Mullah behind the curtains can not be the only force seductive leads to the disappearance of these carvings high.
Living and dead legends of almost every kind of sport have one or more times across the LOC. Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, Diego Maradona, Marion Jones and George Best, intentionally or unintentionally fell prey to one of them: drugs, match fixing, violence against the opposite sex, alcohol, gambling, white collar crime and the list goes on.
Professor Sandy Gordon, a popular sports psychologist in Western Australia, has tried to find an answer to these questions. He developed a theory, a set of questionnaires called Hogan Development Survey [HDS], to study the traits of a person and changes during stress. The HDS shows traits of a man referred to as "the dark side of the personality" which has great influence on our decision making under pressure. The process shows features that are generally tolerated, also surrendered, but when tempted with the opportunity, can derail. Personality traits scale of a range that includes such diverse types (still near point) as "colors", "bold", "Wicked." Naughty and Bold are most evident in the entertainment industry as artists have booed performances in sport, often called "characters" in our terminology of cricket.
Different people from different backgrounds behave differently to the same or similar situations. Nobody can explain this idea better than Yasser Hameed, Zulqarnain Haider and Herschelle Gibbs, three men, whose careers are more or less long, thanks to his antics off the field and special revelations (each in his way.) If Herschelle Gibbs showed signs of a complete asshole with his war of words against Mickey Arthur and put all the speculation following the reactivation of its something-over cricket career deathbed, a little more attentive to their counterparts in Pakistan reached pedestals higher than the stupidity of special occasions (as to make it stand out from the rest). Yasir Hameed was caught on tape in a matter of days, after three of his teammates were suspended for match-fixing reasons, vent out, without any inhibitions on the depth of the roots of corruption in The sport has spread, especially among their national teammates. And the instance of Zulqarnain Haider, Pakistan's substitute goalkeeper in the absence of Kamran Akmal, plagued by poor form and behavior, can be termed as one of the most peculiar cases of 'code of conduct "by cricketers. Haider As we all know by now, had left his team in the middle of a tour in progress, only to be found (sneaking into forbidden land God knows what) at London's Heathrow Airport. He cited the reason for his sudden disappearance as bookmakers approach that tried to attract their ingenuity. Not only has his action inflicted shame PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) and his nation, but in the whole world cricket. As for the latest updates, Haider is close to signing a contract with lashings, part of the English county.
If we turn the pages of sports history to glorify and take a closer look has always been clear that the best are the worst, the best on the court and the worst of it. In one of the most recent chapters, Tiger Woods describes what life was like in the world of elite sport: "I thought I could get away with everything I wanted, deserve to enjoy all the temptations around me I was right .. Thanks to money and fame did not have to go far to find them. "These were their answers to the questions" Why? "" Why? " and "What were you thinking? "And this corrupt world of elite sport extends beyond our imagination insignificant. Sport had reported several months ago that only very few major sports remained free of corruption. Financial services Merrill Lynch has predicted that the game industry online is going to be worth $ 100 million in 2015.
The temptations are offered in different forms and packages, but do not feed you, rather the parasite that resides in you, "the powerful appeal." But decoy for what? Only money? Only by the greed of it? It may be the answer is a vague no. Ace tennis player Nikolay Davydenko, in 2007, was accused of having thrown a relatively easy game (that could have been a cinch for him) against the 87th seed Martin Vassallo-Arguello, after meeting some bookies. Davydenko, later stated that it is all about money, but the powerful ring around it. But the sport has been able to maintain their dignity rather well, thanks to the proactive nature of the tennis authorities.
Following in his footsteps, one of the largest associations in the world of soccer, UEFA, has launched a probe against 40 Champions League matches last year, UEFA and the UEFA Europa League. And these are difficult times for the FIFA when two of its members have been proven guilty of being bribed to support the U.S. offer to host the FIFA World Cup in 2022. This shows that the ball does not stop with the only players, but the law is broken by those who protect and care for themselves.
Many psychologists and doctors and legends and you know that from all areas now or later, will always have something to say about the mentality of athletes, where the offense bookish popular term (confined in the books) "code of behavior. " Some can do with lust, greed, some by the temptation of power, or some simply by being bigger than life. But the ultimate consequences of these incidents, gaining in frequency of occurrence, hits hardest at the fans, ie you and me.
Gone with the wind are the days when sports to fans like me, was an epitome of the definition of discipline, honor, pride, passion, integrity and, above all, the purest form of being clean . In today's date, when the world, in a sense, anticipated in 2012 Dooms Day or any time before or after, I can foresee my religion being abandoned by semi-gods and preached with the money of drug trafficking.
In days of such an atrocity, I have a vision, a nightmare. With a full 60.000 which encourages the tone of their voices while running from their path to hit the man, who can not be sure it will not be able to deal with the situation between him and fear the gates, look for him in his face, it will not be able to look inside yourself and say, yes, I deserve to be here.
We hate to see this, but yes, it's time for the red card out of the bag! Time for a new dawn.

Vanishing Cycle - The vendors in Bangalore!
Bangalore has its own way to fall in love with her. My fascination began from my childhood when my grandmother used to visit his brother's house in Basavanagudi. The gardens, the MTR, temples and parks in every corner always amused me. I was amazed how the city could find a balance between a mixed multitude of the modern generation to get along with their older generation, recognizing the limits of each other and freedom. But this is not my research on hot spots in Bangalore and youth culture. It's about discovering the other side of the growing underground of the city, nearly extinct "cycle-wallahs' or chai wallahs (tea sellers)!
I started my career in Bangalore (Bangalore then) and this city still amuse me. She has one of the most friendly than most cities I've visited all over India. During my first days as an intern at a media organization that had a strong interest in volunteering for tasks to learn during the period.
The cold snap of winter and the monsoon in this "garden city" makes all crave for a cup of tea or coffee. However, a strong nose journalism, along with tea, also ensures good rhythm. During a scan to the area, my best friend and I met some of the cycle-wallahs Symphony and around MG Road. This became a center for me and my friends to pass the time while building a friendship with the cable-bhaiyyas chai.
The conversation was very casual and we all enjoyed the night out before they went home. Bhaiyyas tea to discuss how the night work was not going to get the benefits. We laugh at the comments we could see the streets in line to get a cup of tea and home made nibattus (fried snacks). We joked bhaiyyas indirectly proposes a hike. But all that ended with a stream of laughter and realize none of us too serious in the talks over a cup of tea.
As last year most of us went to work in building our careers and it was the once-in-a-while weekend or evening occasions that gave us the opportunity to meet for regular tea street party. But to our surprise, we could not find our regular chai bhaiyyas. Chai wallahs disappearing! A good pace for a human interest story.
Another night we found our bhaiyyas chai. But to our amazement, the informal talks did not go beyond and could only hear "the number of cups of tea or how many cigarettes are required? His eyes were constantly on the road and alert when a vehicle goes around, as if anticipating something at any time. Next weekend you will not find on the web. We were surprised to see these gloomy prospects for our next tea party. Something bothered him, made him change his position every time a vehicle came or when the police patrol vehicle passed by.
The situation did not improve much when we go to tea after a month. We saw less bhaiyyas chai on the street. Everyone who asked what was the reason for this disappearance? We thought it was the monsoon playing the devil to find out how Bangalore was deeply in most of the structure of this country cursed corruption at all levels and exploitation of the disadvantaged.
Over time we discovered that they were selling wallahs Chai tea or cigarettes cookies on the busiest streets to earn some extra money. This business no-hour was not entertained by the manager of the city has issued a circular to all commercial establishments should be closed in the city after a time determined by the system. But as these chai wallahs were to make some easy money and escape any action by the patrol team, they took to bribe the inspection team. As the business grew the latter began demanding more money and this created a tense situation for business. Nor was kind to others. It was a confusing situation and were no strangers to corruption in the Indian system.
This is one of the incidents, but I'm sure there may be many incidents and observations that many of you have come across. India ranks 84th among 180 countries by Transparency International, 2009, the Index of Perception of Corruption. In 2009, India rose from 85th to 84th spot. The integrity score of India this year is 3.4, compared to 3.5 in 2007.
Do these statistics and increase the list gives us a reason to celebrate or put in our efforts in removing the name of India to the list?
India is the pace to progress and try to set good example for all developing nations to become a global identity. But what they have been in crisis management in any way. We always try to adjust the place to deal with a situation.
Utopia is self-imposed, where corruption and escape from reality through only "set things right in our way", which is mainly through bribes and trying to silence opposing voices is normal. If things continue this way, our dream of joining the elite list of developed countries will soon be destroyed. But again, none of us bothered to stop by and pick up the pieces. After all, we can always pursue another dream!

Greed, corruption and deceit horrendous havoc Over Society - Is there an answer?
Greed and corruption and deceit terrible havoc throughout our society and there seems to be limited to only some countries. It seems to be fairly universal. One finds that in the United Kingdom and America as well as some of these countries where we used to believe that corruption is rife. Now is everywhere, and there seems to be far more destructive wave of corruption and greed everywhere, where men are out just for them.
The foundations have crumbled. The bedrock of morality and ethics has been passed suddenly.
People found out and falling fast. The families are devastated. Companies and fall and no accident. It is serious on many levels!
What can we do about it? What can we do about people who live on a pound per day, or a dollar a day? I've been reading this morning about being persecuted for their faith. For thirty years I have been involved in this ministry and work.
Our banks have been so close to collapse. Our financial institutions are in serious trouble, as greed and the desire to possess more and more companies have taken over the hearts and minds of men and women.
How can people accept unpleasant and undeserved bonuses when employees of the same company are losing their jobs?
How could the politicians who were so aware of what was happening at Westminster continue posting those charges absurd such a long period?
Everything is greed and corruption and deceit as people thought it would never be discovered. God says that men are out and not just the sins of a man found out, but that will be discovered. His true nature and character is revealed.
God warns men to be on guard against all kinds of greed. Of course, most people disregard what God has said and what Jesus taught, but the impact is going to come to pass and again.
Man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions, but many simply do not believe it. However, it becomes truth.
It's called sin. When a special news was broadcast to address any aspect of this I would say just under my breath, "It is all sin."
How rich will be five minutes after death? You can not take any of that with you, but there is a way which can be sent ahead and discover a lot of friends after this life on earth has ended. Jesus taught that very clear and specific.
Later this month I'm going back to Kenya where I will be with the poor and teach them how they could legitimately improve their lives. If you can help improve someone's life and the conditions and the environment, do what I can and try to stay out of greed and corruption and deceit.
One day we must all stand before God Almighty if we want to or not and whether we are currently believed or not. Prepare now because we never know when that day.

One day we must all stand before God Almighty if we want to or not and whether we are currently believed or not. Prepare now because we never know when that day.
The Indians are experts in corruption
We the people of India can teach the world and all the people in power of the methods of raising money beyond our known sources of income and hiding all others. We are known for corruption and accepting bribes from time immemorial. Even Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji the first Guru of the Sikhs had said that during his days even Qazis was taking bribes to give his verdict and when some people objected, which supported its decision on the indications given in the Koran. And during this time since the 15th century, we have taken further steps in this direction and we have now reached a stage where we can open a school to teach the world in general, the methods of raising money. People in power have discovered, invented, created and which are the following methods to raise money and leaving no traces of evidence on the grounds that they could be caught and brought to justice: -
(1) If you're in the chair you should delay the work of the people who are approaching and eventually to be given money as a bribe so they could escape the repeated visits. This is the first method, and most people in offices have adopted this approach and are collecting money, because people who give money do not have any complaints. To do the job without repeated visits, lost time, wasted energy and the load on your brain.
(2) Try to raise objections about the case and should take care that all objections should not be raised in the first letter. We must raise objections partial. This course will force the person who comes to sit with you and reach an agreement and would be able to have a contract with him and collect money off of money that a person is saved in the deal. The state must be at a loss and both parties benefit.
(3) If you want the man approaching you can not approach police or surveillance, which should take the money that man has in his pocket and never ask him to bring money home and then deliver it to you because at the time, which will contact the monitoring and you may be a victim.
(4) Here in India people give in advance, set the rich people and people give money as prizes as well. So all these methods are adopted by people in India and are doing this voluntarily, without coercion of any of the money makers.
(5) If you purchase any item on behalf of the State, the people who sold you are asked to fill the amount in the invoice or bill of cash and here you can have some money and here in this If the documents are complete and audit from the side would be able to catch.
(6) If you are contracting on behalf of the state, you can set commission with the person to whom the contract will be given and this amount can be up to 30 to 40 percent. We are told through the newspapers that even ministers are also collecting money through these methods and quantities here are the high side because the contract amounts are at the top.
(7) If you believe that some of the everyday commodities in short supply in the country, you can find some dealers in the international market and may order the delivery of that commodity and people here in the international market pay large amounts as commissions and these mistakes bring huge amounts that may be collected through hawalas or disposal of the product and although it is there when you can deposit these collections in a bank in a foreign secret bank account that money will be available for you and will also be available for children.
(8) If any surplus in the country, that the article could be sent to foreign countries and also in some fees are charged at international rates and this money could also be moved through the hawala or deposited in foreign banks with false accounts .
(9) People here are willing to buy positions in government, the stations of their choice, so you can collect money from these government officials as well.
(10) In this work are on sale and even promotions are on sale and if necessary you can get money from the sale of jobs and promotions.
(11) Here licenses, fees and certain other items for sale and if you are the driver, you can enter this field and large quantities can be collected from customers.
(12) If you are head of the party then you can sell tickets for the match and at one point even ministries are sold here. This is an additional source of income.
(13) can allow or you must understand that the people working under that will raise money through small bribes or through the prescribed fees and given the prescribed fee and that should allow this system to track and should not try to stop this system because this system is in vogue for generations and actions have also been fixed and this money is scope and traditions. The man in the collection of these funds will distribute the money and the rates prescribed and will maintain their own part as well.
(14) Since we are experts fall into the scams, scandals, entanglement, bribery, corruption, selling jobs, sale of licenses, the sale of quotas, the sale of the stations, sales promotions and people could even collect money from workers against whom disciplinary proceedings are and they are expecting a big punishment.
(15) have contacts and share their collections with the bodies of the catch which could be saved during his tenure.
(16) Try to avoid signing any document or keep any document that could lead to the conviction of a crime.
(17) Try to have coordination with all that they too can help and share the profits with you.
(18) Do not lift your name properties because they face difficulties when asked that the money had arrived.
(19) Try to remain in police cases, judgments when faced with trials and tests to ensure that your next period is when most of the cases could be dismissed.
(20) Try to avoid going to jail because the prisons are for young offenders and for those under testing and not for the rich and powerful. You should try to stay out and if you were unlucky jail term or judicial custody, must make sure it is in a hospital and having all the facilities of normal life.
(21) You must have money and people available that can help in times of difficulty.
(22) You must learn the art of telling lies and when caught, should start saying that you are being victimized because of his being in the opposition groups.
Here are some steps to be taken to collect money through scams, scandals, entanglement, bribery, corruption, commissions, sales jobs, the sale of shares, sale of licenses or through commissions and you should do is make sure that people who keep records and files must be helping and are making entries because the appropriate places. You should consider the following lines:

Police Corruption Psychology
Maybe you've seen the headlines, she was surprised by police corruption? In the news seems to be happening more and more these days, but it is actually quite common. We're supposed to respect authority, and this undermines our security. It is very damaging to our psyche to see these things in the news.
Why does this surprise anyone corruption?
It is totally naive to believe that less than 1 / 3 of all police officers are on the take, no matter what area of the division of law enforcement working in Criminals are attracted to work on implementing the law, perhaps because he tried to beat them up or steal your shovel in the sandbox in the third grade? This explanation seems too simplistic, but if you check your psychology textbook, you see that is one of the most common.
As for our police, whatever the reason, it should surprise anyone? Why is this news and why is everybody making a big deal of the obvious things, every time I read in the newspaper or watch television.
Some say that the slight increase has to do with reality, not just the best news coverage. Why? Well, because local police departments have to hire the most questionable because the job market is difficult for the security, military patrol on the border, etc. This may indeed have something to do with it, of course not justify any police corruption, while explaining why he is on the rise.
If you have a problem with this line of reasoning and do not believe me, ask any officer of the Ministry of Interior, see for yourself. Absolute power - corrupts. That's a known fact.

India - What Ails India?
India is emerging as a modern power. India is showing very good growth in services and manufacturing. But to become a truly modern state should address the problems facing India. What ails India today? We will discuss that.
India has a vibrant democracy. But there are some issues that are working against the nation. In the House, most of the time is wasted in useless activities such as strikes etc., representatives need to pay more attention to work instead of boycotting the process.
Today, communal politics is a major threat to India. common separation of all communities is eating into the social fabric. The Hindus are trying to contain the Muslim influence. Muslims are trying to get more government facilities and Christians are accused of trying to convert others to Christianity. This is causing problems across the country, especially in the state of Orissa.
Terrorism is another big problem in India. Pakistan exports terrorism has been playing havoc in India for decades. That shows no signs of abating. Now with Afghanistan under the Taliban threat and spread of militancy in Pakistan, India will face more problems in Pakistan. No respite from terrorists entering India with the support of Pakistan. Pakistan does not want to stop and for historical reasons to continue to bleed India in India it becomes very powerful compared to Pakistan.
Distribution of wealth is a big problem. The rich get richer, the middle class is getting stronger, but the poor suffer the same evils forever. No running water, no education, no power, no housing, the list is endless. Unless a government makes all efforts to eradicate these evils by plugging all the holes and put an end to corruption, these problems will continue.
India will have to solve all these problems while maintaining the vibrant democratic structure to emerge as a true super power in the coming decades.

OECD Anti Corruption Unit
The goodwill that accompanied the 1997 Convention on Bribery not last endlessly. The perception that countries are not fulfilling their obligations under the agreements will inevitably undermine the agreement and lead to the erosion of public confidence. Regain the momentum and excitement of this initial achievement go far to ensure that it is still not the end of the honeymoon.
The international debate on good governance and best practices can work to the best mechanism to investigate political and corporate corruption.
There are many areas still in need of reform. The OECD convention, which has been so effective in many respects, left gaps. The need to stop companies using political donations to bribe foreign officials must be outlawed.
Some countries have to reform its laws to extraterritorial offenses are included and extradition is made easier.
Several international institutions have a long way to go. The World Bank and the European Union badly needs to implement further reforms to prevent bribery and corruption in the programs they fund.
In a broader agenda that research must be done in the way of defense contracts with foreign countries are given. The U.S., Germany, France and Britain are among the biggest sellers of weapons in the world. They are extremely competitive. As these contracts usually involve an element of participation of national governments are even more secret than normal contracts. However, the evidence we have indicates that there is still excess commissions (bribes) paid by these agreements.
Cornerhouse Group rightly say that there is an urgent need to shift the focus of the measures against corruption. In trying to explain corruption, most commentators tend to live in developing countries, not industrialized, the bribed not bribes. The intimate connection between corruption in the South and the organizational culture, bureaucratic practices and priorities of public and private institutions in the North is thus effectively hidden
Some activists suggest that the best deterrent for companies that have a propensity to bribery and corruption would be an international blacklist. blacklist current World Bank is a start, but it is really only a few very small fish. A black list the names and shames the great players, but more importantly their ability to get international contracts would be a bold statement? a milestone in the fight against bribery and corruption.
Other activists believe that the blacklists are often counterproductive. But the real deterrent to those who continue to bribe and corrupt is a real fear of detection and incarceration. The only way that the momentum of the movement against corruption to it by the installation of arduous investigation and prosecution authorities. Many countries in Western Europe and North America have not shown they are willing to prosecute offenders. International conventions have a regulatory effect of the muscle, but that is where real and die.

How Corruption Works
Corruption is the abuse of power to obtain benefits, such as political or personal gain. Wealth, power and influence are all related, not necessarily a bad thing that people who get rich are usually intelligent and in most cases honest (which mostly only talk about the bad apples in the news). Those who have achieved great influence are usually the talented people who are in the know about a particular area of expertise. And those who grow powerful are generally competent people can do things. Of course they are those who have the luck to be born in power or wealth, but unless these people are especially smart or talented in their own way, no more often than not placed in positions of great authority. George W. Bush is actually an intelligent person, he did at Yale University and earned an MBA from Harvard Business School, just watching YouTube videos of him before the election and seem very competent. What happened next is a different story.
To explain the corruption here I will concentrate on the lower levels of corrupt authority in the public and private sector. Private sector organizations tend to be more efficient than their public sector because the private non-profit will not last long with out customers actively choose to buy products or services from them for reasons such as those being better than competing products or services. Whereas the public sector, many times the consumer is not much of a choice or say. For example, how U.S. law enforcement runs, there seems to be much room for improvement does not seem to be working, there are many terrible examples of U.S. police brutality there.
So let's say that a new road to multi-million dollar paving contract at stake and the city has to hire a company to do the job, obviously, want to keep the taxpayers and voters happy all the time. Organizations that want the contract must submit a "bid" (the amount they charge, and a contract that will do) for the job and the board decides that the offer "choice.
Bidder is a fish with a relatively short time, "paver Joe ', which presents a small price for the work and sees this as an opportunity to grow your business instead of making a profit. His contract is a bit more professional and the work is not guaranteed a professional job, but save taxpayers a lot.
Bidder two is, they've done Paving Inc., this type of work before, not the company is very professional and can guarantee a perfect job done, but at a significantly higher price. The taxpayer knows that his ways will be done but at a sacrifice of waiting for the funds.
Bidder three is "corrupt R us'. There will be a price only slightly higher than the price of the paver Joe, and look extremely professional, eye-catching brochures and Armani suits. They also have all this for the golf tips in Palm Beach and Spa Resort, all expenses paid, and bring the family. open bar too. After the speeches about the company, drinks and of course, part of the contract that states that monthly reports are going to happen here again in the season, so we are again in a few months if you choose us. Everything is very fresh and seems reliable.
Awarded Bidder three. During one of the monthly reports, a talk is given about how the stones are encountered some problems along the way and they have to do the excavation procedure in accordance with paragraph 12 of section 2b and will cost an extra $ 2 million, but guess what, thankfully, that hired us and we managed to reduce the burden on suppliers and will cost only $ 1.5 million. So thanks to their great options you just saved the taxpayers half a million dollars! Along with some cases like this, the contract price can double or triple.
The Council now has the option or period of history to the public or admit they were deceived into committing political suicide. They choose the former. This is a made up example, but based on real events that continue to happen all the time, and explains most of government resources lost. It does not seem as sinister political corruption can be seen in a James Bond movie, but this is just one example of corruption on a small scale of things, it gets worse the higher up you go.

Corruption of the Church in the Middle Ages
Near the end of the Middle Ages, corruption in the Catholic Church was a serious dilemma. The clergy is supposed to be a good education, but many priests were illiterate and barely knew how to conduct religious services in common. In addition, the priest and nuns, despite taking the vows of chastity engaged in sex. Even the popes, Innocent VIII and Alexander VI, father of the children and raised. Many of the abbots and bishops exploited their positions to lead a life of luxury and leisure. Princes were like before the humble servants of God. The cardinals of Rome lived in magnificent palaces and wore jewel-encrusted gold robe.
The Church became corrupted several methods to pay for these lavish lifestyles. The church told his people that the pilgrimages to the sites of relics and sacred sites were the most appropriate ways to repent of their sins. During the last years of the Middle Ages, some clergy took advantage of this tradition and the accused to see the sacred relics. Frederick I, a prince in northern Germany, had a collection of more than seventeen thousand relics that allegedly included a piece of Moses' burning bush, thirty-three fragments of the cross of Jesus, and some straw from the manger of Jesus. The money from pilgrimages to these relics paid for the construction of a cathedral, a castle, and a university in the reign of Frederick. Simony (the practice of selling items from the church to the highest bidder regardless of their religious background of the buyer or teachings) was another of the practices that made money for the church.
The most profitable and controversial of corrupt practices to raise money for the Church was selling indulgences. At first, an indulgence was only certified by the Pope to a person whose sins had been forgiven. This certificate is intended to remove part or all of the sentence of a person suffering after death for their sins. Although never officially told by the church, many clergy teach that salvation is achieved simply through the purchase of indulgences enough.

Corruption Undermines Ukraine
It was not until he was personally affected by the concept of corruption began to think seriously about it. This happened to me recently when my young friend Ukrainian Ana, I was approached for a loan. Willingly the obligation only to discover that this loan was to help pay a bribe to continue her studies at Ivan Franko University of Lviv. I was in total shock and disbelief.
The media bombard us daily with shocking news about the scandal and exploitation. The buzzwords are the media, information leaks, calls for transparency, etc. .. take care document This sensationalism trivializes the global epidemic of corruption. However, when it comes knocking on your door, then you really stop and pay attention.
Ana insisted that explain the whole situation for me. It turns out that the payment of bribes to the degrees or diplomas is a very common occurrence in Lviv and Ukraine! Students pay a minimum of one dollar for each hour of class missed, five hundred dollars to enter a particular faculty and 15 to 20 thousand dollars depending on the degree you are looking for. This is an incredible burden on the parents of these students. More importantly, how can you trust the infrastructure of a society where doctors and lawyers are buying their diplomas?
Surprisingly, Ana does not seem as worried as me. She does all this in stride. She explains that this shadiness has been an integral part of society for a very long time, certainly since the Soviet era. Now taken for granted corruption. She seems to justify the system, explaining that teachers and tutors are so poorly paid that they could not survive without these subsidies. Now I understand that payment of bribes in Lviv has a ripple effect throughout the social system, is a catch 22.
My poor, dear Ana is an innocent victim of circumstances. She is at the mercy of an unscrupulous. Possibilities for change in this "culture of corruption" seems very limited.
Initially, I see your attitude as an example of the passivity and apathy that have come accustomed to with my friends and acquaintances in Lviv. They are often angry with them for their lack of protest against injustice. However, whenever I come around to understanding that they are afraid of the authorities and the system all his life and that this culture of fear can take generations to overcome.
The university scene is small compared to the billions of dollars of money laundering schemes by the oligarchs of the country. The changes must come from the highest level of society-government. This form of exploitation harm the reputation of the country, discouraging investors and ultimately undermines the economy in general. Transparency International has ranked Ukraine, 70, 85 of the most corrupt countries in the world. Due to fears of a tax system designed to bribe, 70% of companies operating in the black market of Ukraine-serious complaints.
The personal exposure to the abuse of justice that makes me sad and frustrated. But I'm just a visitor here and I am able to return to the stability of my country. Ana lives here and she and her colleagues are a tool to challenge these injustices. Their indifference and inaction only serve to perpetuate the problem. She and her contemporaries are the wave of the future and are responsible for the refusal of an ethical environment. I wish all the best and a very bright future.
The media bombard us daily with shocking news about the scandal and exploitation. The buzzwords are the media, information leaks, calls for transparency, etc. .. take care document This sensationalism trivializes the global epidemic of corruption. However, when it comes knocking on your door, then you really stop and pay attention.
Ana insisted that explain the whole situation for me. It turns out that the payment of bribes to the degrees or diplomas is a very common occurrence in Lviv and Ukraine! Students pay a minimum of one dollar for each hour of class missed, five hundred dollars to enter a particular faculty and 15 to 20 thousand dollars depending on the degree you are looking for. This is an incredible burden on the parents of these students. More importantly, how can you trust the infrastructure of a society where doctors and lawyers are buying their diplomas?
Surprisingly, Ana does not seem as worried as me. She does all this in stride. She explains that this shadiness has been an integral part of society for a very long time, certainly since the Soviet era. Now taken for granted corruption. She seems to justify the system, explaining that teachers and tutors are so poorly paid that they could not survive without these subsidies. Now I understand that payment of bribes in Lviv has a ripple effect throughout the social system, is a catch 22.
My poor, dear Ana is an innocent victim of circumstances. She is at the mercy of an unscrupulous. Possibilities for change in this "culture of corruption" seems very limited.
Initially, I see your attitude as an example of the passivity and apathy that have come accustomed to with my friends and acquaintances in Lviv. They are often angry with them for their lack of protest against injustice. However, whenever I come around to understanding that they are afraid of the authorities and the system all his life and that this culture of fear can take generations to overcome.
The university scene is small compared to the billions of dollars of money laundering schemes by the oligarchs of the country. The changes must come from the highest level of society-government. This form of exploitation harm the reputation of the country, discouraging investors and ultimately undermines the economy in general.
