The city police have completed a draft decree to prevent tickets being sold on the black market of major events taking place in different parts of the city, including international cricket matches.
The decision comes following the recent violence that occurred when a large number of cricket fans packed the stadium to buy tickets for the Spain-England match and the subsequent arrests of some people for the crime of selling tickets in the market black.
It was alleged that a fraction of the total tickets sold through the counters.
The draft decree has been titled as the Regulation of Sale of tickets or passes for admission to public places of entertainment (Bangalore City) Order 2011.
Shall apply to all places of public amusement and public entertainment programs conducted within the limits of the Commissionerate of Police, Bangalore City, said Police Commissioner Shankar M Bidari City.
The draft decree requires the organizers to ensure at least 50 percent of tickets sold over the counter. If tickets to an event are sold or issued through the Internet, should not exceed 50 percent of the cast.
The absence of a rule to prevent black market selling tickets or passes for entertainment programs including cricket matches and music shows has given rise to the black market the tickets and the unavailability of tickets for members of the public and has also given scope of adverse events affecting public order.
Therefore, it is considered necessary in the interest of maintaining public order and peace and prevention of adverse events, framing an order to prevent arbitrary and illegal sale of tickets and black market tickets programs organized in places of public entertainment, said Bidari.
Objections and suggestions should be sent to the Legal Counsel of the Office of the Commissioner of Police, No. 1, Infantry Road, Bangalore - 560 001 either by mail or in person, said the Commissioner.

During our wait speaking to other drivers who explained that they had stood in line four hours to buy tickets. They added that many people could not buy tickets in a few hours just after the opening of ticket sales, the authorities of Sri Lanka Cricket announced that tickets were sold out. The pilots thought they were doing a service by selling illegal tickets. To get a massive benefit. In each of Rs. 50 bills that were making a profit of Rs. 2450.

Political corruption
Political corruption is the use of powers to legislate by government officials for illegitimate private gain. The misuse of government power for other purposes, like repression of political opponents and general police brutality is not considered political corruption. Neither are illegal acts by individuals or companies not directly involved with the government. An illegal act by an officeholder constitutes political corruption only if the act is directly related to their official duties.
Forms of corruption vary, but include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, cronyism, bribery and embezzlement. While corruption may facilitate criminal activity such as drug trafficking, money laundering and human trafficking is not limited to these activities.
The activities that constitute illegal corruption differ depending on the country or jurisdiction. For example, certain political funding practices that are legal in one place may be illegal in another. In some cases, government officials have broad or poorly defined powers, which makes it difficult to distinguish between legal and illegal. Worldwide, bribery alone is estimated to involve over U.S. $ 1 trillion year. [1] The state of rampant political corruption is known as a kleptocracy, literally "rule by thieves."

New Corruption Age
tenfold in the last two years we have seen or bigger scams in India to outdo each other. 2G recent scam is linked to 176,000 million rupees. That's 1,760,000,000,000 worth nearly Rs 3% of our GDP. Satyam scam was about 14,000 million rupees, while scam Common Wealth Games is 70,000 crore. I was talking to some young people the other day and told them that in the 1990 PV Narasimha Rao was involved in a scam of 2 million rupees. They could not believe that a small amount of 2 million rupees could actually result in a scam. Even the much talked about Bofors scam, because Rajiv Gandhi lost power in 1980, only 64 million rupees. So what happened to us as a nation in the last twenty years? How do we get only Rs 2 million to 176,000 million rupees?
I think we're seeing a whole new set of rules that are being played on the corrupted India (By the way, India proudly ranks 87 in world corruption index). And unlike what many think, I think the younger generation is not the old generation, which is to establish the new rules. Is corruption in New Era, which is very different from the old school. The appetite of the old school was small, and therefore was pleased with the money of small and stored as cash stuffed in pillows or gold deposited in some foreign accounts. The new era is rapacious, who wants to become the world's richest, seize all the country's vital natural resources and the money trail through legal methods, such as IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, to convert his black money into white money.
Discuss this corruption of the New Era through the following three trends.
1. India is creating more wealth
India is creating more wealth than ever before. Is the creation of wealth beyond the means and mechanisms of how our managers and politicians are used to fund management. India is making money on an unprecedented level due to the reforms that have set in early 1990 by Manmohan Singh in the PV Narasimha Rao. That has led to employers, businesses, industries, financial institutions, the creation of mega wealth for this nation. The treasure chests are filled with a lot of money, but our leaders and bureaucrats are unable to use those funds to better use. They lack the vision and it is showing clearly.
Some of the ministers, babus, administrators are not accustomed to handling this kind of money. Most states return the funds received to the schemes of different unused. Most social plans to return the unused money from the center. At this time, India allocate as much money to various projects that most leaders who are given the mandate to pass this is not in a position to spend wisely.
Old habits die hard. Politicians and bureaucrats continue to steal money. At first he stole less, but every year, bureaucrats are setting new and higher goals for their politicians, ready to prepare the necessary documentation, which increases the amount of money allocated to an exponential rate. The network is expanding. More number of people receiving the portion of cake. If the former minister was 5,000 million rupees, which would like to have 15,000 million rupees for the new minister.
Old school reacts one way, the old way, filling their pockets, the pockets of his family, his friends' pockets. But they do so random that no matter what they do, over time shows. You just can not fill their pockets with money again which is very broad. It's too much money to get into the pockets. Shibu Soren of Jharkhand, Bihar Lalu Yadav and others are examples.
In this vacuum of visionaries and leaders, we new set of leaders, more intelligent. Smart because they know how to steal the money without having to fill their pockets.
2. Scammers are getting smarter
New age corruption plays by different rules now. New Age corrupt not only in cash in suitcases, to take a stake in his company, a percentage in the new company, put their investments in a fictitious company, and so on. Use the new liberalization policies to make corruption a mega level, a level that no politician of the old school could have imagined.
For example, besides the liberalization of the economy of India has liberalized laws allowing people to get the raw ore from India. That alone has created a set of new industries in which the children of the entrepreneurship policy, obtain the necessary permits to mine and sell the ore to foreign companies. The Chinese take satellite images and say "children," our politicians Hey, we want this hill and this hill, do not do any pre-processing, does not believe any industry, just sent the hill, as it is " . Our new employer Age even has the same dynamite explosions Chinese hills to loosen the soil, and then hired local people to come and take land by trucks. These trucks and then go to the nearest port where a Chinese ship is waiting to devour the hill. These ships to take ore to China, creating a mega industry, provide employment for its people, believed that the metal, and then export the metal to other countries, including India.
India is witnessing a curious phenomenon. It would have been funny if it was happening in a show of magic. There is a hill today, the hill is tomorrow. Hills are just being gobbled up and sent to foreign countries. And there is no sustainable industry is being created in India because of this. When Nehru and Tata steel plants installed, created towns like Jamshedpur and Bhilai. Today, natural resources do not create the industry or municipalities. Only fattens politicians as they are able to buy whole electorate and the whole of the MLAs. India's politicians and their children must have looted this country of its natural mineral in the last ten years as British sacked in 200 years. We are setting a record completely different here.
Politicians in the New Era that their children before allowing them to enter industrial policy. As industrialists, these children use their father's connections to usurp the resources, take the land, improve systems, and then go to convert black money black money through bogus purchases, depreciation, etc. At the moment the child is ready for politics, he knows how to use government funds and plans to mega wealth for himself. Real estate, construction, energy, mining, are some of the areas where new corrupt age have mastered.
3. Being corrupt has become a virtue
The old school looked at the money out of guilt. The older generation was guilty when they made too much money. This is where the new era differs radically from the old school. The old corrupt new use as a badge to display as an Olympic medal. They are apprehensive about it. In fact, participate in the display of their ill-gotten wealth, that waste, the purchase of new toys, palaces, spending money on birthday bashes.
The competition is not between the corrupt and the most honest, the competition is between the corrupt themselves, to surpass others, to deceive others, stand on each other, coming up with various tricks and methods to circumvent the system. The winner is the one most able contender intelligently each other who wanted to take this money.
Young age is again quite well with making money through programs such as Harshad Mehta or Telgi. They think that there is nothing wrong with making money that way. I like how Akshay Kumar says Hera Pheri 'main banaunga yu paise, shortcut tarikey yes, youth is ready to use shortcuts to make money.
In a country, which confuses the habits of values, corruption is not a bad thing, provided they continue to visit Tirupati every year, put your feet in the Sai Baba, and avoid meat and alcohol in public. It is considered virtuous based on your eating habits.
The combination of these three trends, India is making money on an unprecedented level, the politicians of the new era and their children are smarter and have found ways to usurp the wealth with mega appetite, that the new generation is completely fine to cheat to win money, are some of the reasons why we see the great current scams. What we have seen is just the tip of the iceberg. We're just seeing scams where scammers were only ineffective and dumb. There are so many scams that are not exposed because the scammers are not very smart. There is a good likelihood that fraud will not be exposed.

India Telecom Scam: How can a corrupt system to clean?
Even in a nation that has always used repetition through the high-level corruption, the numbers reported in the telecom scam called 2G is amazing. In 2008, the Union Government of India licensed use of spectrum in nine companies to provide mobile telephony services in 122 circles. The amount raised was around Rs. 1.658 million rupees (around U.S. $ 370 million). The Comptroller and Auditor General of India estimates, based on spectrum auction for 3G services, what happened later, that the Indian treasury was defrauded to the tune of Rs. 176,000 crore (around U.S. $ 40 billion) in the sale of 2G spectrum.
It was alleged that A. Raja, former minister in charge of telecommunications licenses awarded arbitrarily in a very transparent process, and prices did not reflect the real value of the spectrum. Appropriate prices for much lower teledensity of 2001 (compared to 2008) were accused of giving licenses to favored companies - some of whom do not even have experience in telecommunications - in a "first come, first served only through competitive bidding.
Despite the alleged malpractice immediately after the sale in 2008, it was only in November this year, Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India, Raja forced to resign. The position of Minister of Telecommunications became untenable after the Supreme Court intervened, and several potentially damaging phone records involving a lobbyist for high power and leading journalists filtered. In addition to forcing the resignation, telecommunications fraud has tarnished the Prime Minister's office as well.
The Cost of Corruption
The telecommunications infrastructure of an economy is the equivalent of the nervous system of an organism. Without a robust telecommunications system, affordable, efficient and reliable, no economy can prosper in what is called the "information age." Corruption in the licensing of spectrum can be expected to damage the deployment and use of telecommunications infrastructure. Telecommunications are important links back and forth with all other sectors of the economy. The economic cost of India may well be in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
Corruption has become, unfortunately, a feature that covers everything from India. The Indians are very familiar with it. For citizens to address all levels of government, the systematic abuse of power has lost its ability to download or even evoke a comment. Most people accept corruption as a fact of life. What really is disturbing is corruption in the public sector. The telecommunications fraud is a terrible example of public sector corruption, Transparency International (TI) is defined as "the abuse of entrusted power for private gain."
The magnitude of telecommunications fraud is enormous but not unique. In resource-rich states, scams involving mining rights in major cities, which often deal with real estate. The details vary but the underlying story is the same.
Only in recent months, the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi were marred by allegations of massive financial corruption worth billions of dollars. Another case of grand corruption, which recently came to light - called Adarsh Housing Society scam - politicians involved, defense contractors and top brass. These financial malfeasance are nothing new. Washington, DC-based Global Financial Integrity report, drivers and dynamics of illicit financial flows from India: 1948-2008, published this month in which estimates the present value of all illicit flows of India is at least $ U.S. 462 billion, an amount that is twice the current debt of U.S. foreign India $ 230 million.
True Stories
To explain how deeply corruption has permeated Indian society, let me tell some stories I've heard from friends and business partners. It is only when you hear these true stories that you realize how our system is flawed.
• A large company won a contract for a waste management project in a global offering. Soon, they received a call from a political party asking for money. The company paid for fear that their work is interrupted. Then, a second political party demanded more money. Once again, paid. When a senior leader of a third political party called up, the company had had enough and refused to give in then received a letter from a government ministry stating that the project was on hold. The CEO was to meet with the senior leader and was abused and said that unless the company paid, the project will not happen.
• The real estate prices in all major metropolitan areas in India have gone through the roof. Rates of up to Rs. 100,000 (U.S. $ 2,200) per square foot in South Mumbai are not uncommon. They reflect the well known fact that real estate is one of the main avenues of politicians to generate funds. About one-third the cost of land and construction is attributed to the bribes paid to the political system - from the municipal corporation officials, all the way to the highest offices of government.
• The other day a friend in the construction industry told me about the escalation of costs and time in your business. At each stage I had to pay people who had the power to delay and disrupt operations. Among the dozens of officials with whom he had the misfortune to interact in a hotel project ended, he found that just one was honest. Even now, my friend has to have cash on hand to pay "the inspectors." Projects typically have twice as much time and money than could reasonably be expected.
The problem of corruption is eroding confidence. Limit welfare improving trades that are so important to the economic efficiency of any system, capitalist or socialist. It also leads to inefficient resource allocation. The spectrum of telecommunications fraud for selling is a clear example. As it happens, some of the companies that obtained licenses cheaply turned a nice profit by reselling the spectrum. For price manipulation of the spectrum, the value that should have accrued to the Treasury, which could have been used for public projects, instead ended up as higher than normal profits for companies. The economy of India is not lost only in terms of direct revenue from the licensing of spectrum, but also by the effects of the high costs of telecommunications services (as a result of the final purchaser of spectrum to pay more high). Corruption is in effect an unlawful tax that enriches individuals and acts as a brake on economic growth.
It is instructive to examine the causes of corruption so staggering scale. The reasons are certainly structural. When the government exercises too much discretionary control over the allocation of resources, it is tempting for bureaucrats and politicians to gain from the concomitants of power. The minister of telecommunications had significant discretion over who acquired spectrum, and when and by how much. Apparently, it uses this power to the detriment of the country.
The criminals in power
The opportunity to accumulate great wealth offered by the political power is the main driver for people with the desire nor the ability or the government to go to enormous lengths to enter politics. Over time, this leads to erosion of public morality and ethics. The results of assembly elections in Bihar recently illustrate this reality. In the assembly of 243 members of legislative Bihar, 141 newly elected members have criminal cases pending against them. The charges include murder, kidnapping and robbery.
It should be shocking that people who are responsible for making laws are very likely to be broken. There has been a clear decline in standards of what is acceptable behavior. That voters actually elect the criminals to the legislative bodies must be the most shameful aspect of Indian democracy. The trend is not all positive, it seems that now even the media is involved in dark transactions that were once limited to some politicians and corporations. It also appears that the cancer of corruption may have spread to the courts.
In the final analysis, the prevalence level of public probity and integrity is a function of the social demand for them. In a democracy, the people ultimately decide who will govern. The solution to the problem of corruption of public officials is absolutely to the public. The kind of leaders and policy makers that people demand ultimately determine who will make the rules by which society functions.
India is a democracy. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, the country has a "government of the people, for the people and for the people. "But the Indians have to understand that most of the diseases in India are a result of his abdication of responsibility that necessarily accompanies the Indians have rights in a democratic system. Democracy is not just about voting voting but not reported. The people must act together against those who have brought disgrace and shame for the country. They have a responsibility to clean up corruption. This can be done most effectively by refusing to vote for criminals.
The news is not all bad. Citizen groups are emerging that aim to solve the problem of corruption. This is a collective problem can be solved only through the mobilization of voters informed. Among many others, a nascent group of such, called "Unite the voters of India," is an association of people who agree to vote only for candidates who are capable and clean.
Our problems must be solved within the system through the democratic process. The good news is that advances in information technology and telecommunications have changed the balance of power of government to the people. People now have the means to educate and organize collectively to force reform in the system. The telecommunications scam should serve as a warning to all Indians that it is time to act. If so, maybe the scam have served a positive purpose, after all.
It was alleged that A. Raja, former minister in charge of telecommunications licenses awarded arbitrarily in a very transparent process, and prices did not reflect the real value of the spectrum. Appropriate prices for much lower teledensity of 2001 (compared to 2008) were accused of giving licenses to favored companies - some of whom do not even have experience in telecommunications - in a "first come, first served only through competitive bidding.
Despite the alleged malpractice immediately after the sale in 2008, it was only in November this year, Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India, Raja forced to resign. The position of Minister of Telecommunications became untenable after the Supreme Court intervened, and several potentially damaging phone records involving a lobbyist for high power and leading journalists filtered. In addition to forcing the resignation, telecommunications fraud has tarnished the Prime Minister's office as well.
The Cost of Corruption
The telecommunications infrastructure of an economy is the equivalent of the nervous system of an organism. Without a robust telecommunications system, affordable, efficient and reliable, no economy can prosper in what is called the "information age." Corruption in the licensing of spectrum can be expected to damage the deployment and use of telecommunications infrastructure. Telecommunications are important links back and forth with all other sectors of the economy. The economic cost of India may well be in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
Corruption has become, unfortunately, a feature that covers everything from India. The Indians are very familiar with it. For citizens to address all levels of government, the systematic abuse of power has lost its ability to download or even evoke a comment. Most people accept corruption as a fact of life. What really is disturbing is corruption in the public sector. The telecommunications fraud is a terrible example of public sector corruption, Transparency International (TI) is defined as "the abuse of entrusted power for private gain."
The magnitude of telecommunications fraud is enormous but not unique. In resource-rich states, scams involving mining rights in major cities, which often deal with real estate. The details vary but the underlying story is the same.
Only in recent months, the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi were marred by allegations of massive financial corruption worth billions of dollars. Another case of grand corruption, which recently came to light - called Adarsh Housing Society scam - politicians involved, defense contractors and top brass. These financial malfeasance are nothing new. Washington, DC-based Global Financial Integrity report, drivers and dynamics of illicit financial flows from India: 1948-2008, published this month in which estimates the present value of all illicit flows of India is at least $ U.S. 462 billion, an amount that is twice the current debt of U.S. foreign India $ 230 million.
True Stories
To explain how deeply corruption has permeated Indian society, let me tell some stories I've heard from friends and business partners. It is only when you hear these true stories that you realize how our system is flawed.
• A large company won a contract for a waste management project in a global offering. Soon, they received a call from a political party asking for money. The company paid for fear that their work is interrupted. Then, a second political party demanded more money. Once again, paid. When a senior leader of a third political party called up, the company had had enough and refused to give in then received a letter from a government ministry stating that the project was on hold. The CEO was to meet with the senior leader and was abused and said that unless the company paid, the project will not happen.
• The real estate prices in all major metropolitan areas in India have gone through the roof. Rates of up to Rs. 100,000 (U.S. $ 2,200) per square foot in South Mumbai are not uncommon. They reflect the well known fact that real estate is one of the main avenues of politicians to generate funds. About one-third the cost of land and construction is attributed to the bribes paid to the political system - from the municipal corporation officials, all the way to the highest offices of government.
• The other day a friend in the construction industry told me about the escalation of costs and time in your business. At each stage I had to pay people who had the power to delay and disrupt operations. Among the dozens of officials with whom he had the misfortune to interact in a hotel project ended, he found that just one was honest. Even now, my friend has to have cash on hand to pay "the inspectors." Projects typically have twice as much time and money than could reasonably be expected.
The problem of corruption is eroding confidence. Limit welfare improving trades that are so important to the economic efficiency of any system, capitalist or socialist. It also leads to inefficient resource allocation. The spectrum of telecommunications fraud for selling is a clear example. As it happens, some of the companies that obtained licenses cheaply turned a nice profit by reselling the spectrum. For price manipulation of the spectrum, the value that should have accrued to the Treasury, which could have been used for public projects, instead ended up as higher than normal profits for companies. The economy of India is not lost only in terms of direct revenue from the licensing of spectrum, but also by the effects of the high costs of telecommunications services (as a result of the final purchaser of spectrum to pay more high). Corruption is in effect an unlawful tax that enriches individuals and acts as a brake on economic growth.
It is instructive to examine the causes of corruption so staggering scale. The reasons are certainly structural. When the government exercises too much discretionary control over the allocation of resources, it is tempting for bureaucrats and politicians to gain from the concomitants of power. The minister of telecommunications had significant discretion over who acquired spectrum, and when and by how much. Apparently, it uses this power to the detriment of the country.
The criminals in power
The opportunity to accumulate great wealth offered by the political power is the main driver for people with the desire nor the ability or the government to go to enormous lengths to enter politics. Over time, this leads to erosion of public morality and ethics. The results of assembly elections in Bihar recently illustrate this reality. In the assembly of 243 members of legislative Bihar, 141 newly elected members have criminal cases pending against them. The charges include murder, kidnapping and robbery.
It should be shocking that people who are responsible for making laws are very likely to be broken. There has been a clear decline in standards of what is acceptable behavior. That voters actually elect the criminals to the legislative bodies must be the most shameful aspect of Indian democracy. The trend is not all positive, it seems that now even the media is involved in dark transactions that were once limited to some politicians and corporations. It also appears that the cancer of corruption may have spread to the courts.
In the final analysis, the prevalence level of public probity and integrity is a function of the social demand for them. In a democracy, the people ultimately decide who will govern. The solution to the problem of corruption of public officials is absolutely to the public. The kind of leaders and policy makers that people demand ultimately determine who will make the rules by which society functions.

India Telecom minister quits over corruption allegations
The opposition in India has been demanding the resignation of Raja for several months, but things came to a head after a report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) was leaked to local media.
The report states that the minister could have caused big losses to the exchequer of the country by allocating spectrum licenses at low prices including nine operators, according to reports in the media.
Raja, who belongs to the DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) party, a coalition partner in the federal government, resigned on Sunday night. He told reporters that he had not broken any laws, and to prove it. He had resigned to avoid embarrassment to the federal government, he said.
India's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said last year that has registered cases against some officials of the country's Department of Telecommunications (DOT), private sector companies and some individuals in connection with alleged irregularities related with the licensing of telecommunications by the DOT.
The CBI did not name the individuals or companies who have been charged under the country's Prevention of Corruption Act.
The Department of Transportation decided that licenses are allocated on a first-come, first served "at a low rate current form in 2001, against the advice of the local telecoms regulator, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) CBI said.
The Transportation Department's decision to put a limit on the number of licenses per service area, and the decision to stop accepting new applications even before the last date fixed has also been criticized.
The CBI said that putting a limit on the number of licenses has been a criminal conspiracy among some DOT officials and some private companies and individuals for granting certificates to select companies.
The CBI was harshly criticized by the Supreme Court of India last month for the delay in conducting investigations.
Several of the licensees, said it has benefited from the alleged irregular awarding spectrum licenses and later went on to sell their shares in service industries to foreign investors as Telenor, at prices well above the amount paid by owners license for the spectrum, according to opposition parties in India.
In the case of 3G licenses, the government auctioned the licenses and spectrum. Tata Teleservices has already started the deployment of services, Bharti Airtel, India's largest mobile service provider, which is expected to start rolling before the end of the year

Corruption, corporate battles scare away foreign investors?
Place in India has captured the imagination of the world, while the economy grows at nearly 9 percent a year and a growing class of consumers buy cell phones, cars and houses. No wonder that foreign companies are increasingly eager to capitalize on that growth by investing here.
Or are they? Despite India's impressive growth, companies and foreign investors have begun to look elsewhere. Foreign direct investment in India fell by over 31 percent, to $ 24 billion in 2010, even as investors flocked to the developing nations as a group.
And in the past two months, foreign investors took $ 1,400,000,000 india stock market, helping drive the country nifty 50 stock index by 17 percent from highs set in early November.
The decline in foreign investment include outsiders still face challenges in India, two decades after politicians began to open the country to the world. For indigenous leaders, the decline in foreign money may make it harder to achieve faster growth and economic context that they need to create jobs and lift hundreds of millions of 1100 million people in India out of poverty.
While the inefficiency and bureaucracy are not new in India, analysts and executives say that foreign investors have lately been startled by a government corruption scandal much publicity about the licensing of wireless communications. Another reason for hesitation is a corporate tax battle between officials of India and the British company Vodafone now before the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, the inflation rate - 8.2 percent and rising - seems beyond the control of India's central bank, and has done nothing to reassure foreign investors.
Jahangir Aziz, an economist at JPMorgan in Mumbai, said that while politicians in India have been apparent ambivalence towards foreigners, other emerging economies have drawn the red carpet. Recently, foreign direct investment to countries like Thailand, Indonesia and Brazil has soared. Direct investment in Brazil, for example, rose 16 percent, to $ 30.2 million last year, according to the UN.
Still hope
There is no doubt that investors and companies around the world are betting on growth in India. Last year foreign investors poured about $ 30 billion in the Indian stock market - and thus, some profit taking of all time on the market last fall was high, probably expected. And last week BP announced it would buy in oil and gas here for $ 7.2 billion, which would be the largest foreign investment yet in India.
But the broader trend signals that foreign companies and investors are worried about their ability to do business in India.
Aziz and other analysts say the slowdown in foreign currency is part of a wider withdrawal which also includes Indian companies. Private investment as a percentage of gross domestic product of India was reduced to about 22 percent in the fiscal year from 25.6 percent a year earlier. Analysts say companies are more cautious due to problems in obtaining regulatory approvals and uncertainty about the direction of government policy.
So far, the deficit has been developed by higher government spending and personal consumption. But economists note that these, alone, are not ingredients for sustained growth.
And despite Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, promises, executives fear they will not be able to convince other politicians to make the necessary changes. Ministers of India often circumvent the broader set of Singh, who designed the first major economic reform in India in 1991, when he was finance minister.
She now heads a fractious political coalition. And recent corruption scandals, including allegations that bribes helped undermine poorly organized last year's Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, have further eroded the credibility of the government.
In private, business executives complain that Indian officials are experts to proclaim their commitment to free markets, but it takes concrete steps to ease restrictions. Doing so is politically difficult in India because many politicians, trade unions and civil society groups prefer government spending and domestic protectionism on economic liberalization.
In the retail sector, for example, the country still bars foreigners to own stores that sell more than one brand of products. This restriction, intended to protect many small retailers in India, preventing Wal-Mart, Tesco and other sales to class in India growing consumer. In recent months, officials of India has sent mixed signals about whether the government intends to facilitate the policy.
In insurance, MetLife, which has invested $ 139 million in a company in India, I would put more money into the country. However, it is restricted by rules that limit foreign ownership in insurance companies to 26 percent - a limit that policy makers established in 1999 with the expectation that they would raise in a few years.
MetLife, which has already reached that limit, can not grow as fast in India, as it can in Brazil, where it owns 100 percent of their members. Even in China, known to favor their domestic companies, MetLife owns 50 percent of its insurance business there.
Concern over tax laws
Foreigners are also increasingly concerned about the tax laws of India. Vodafone, the global telecommunications giant, is struggling with tax officials who want to pay about $ 2.5 billion in capital gains tax on its 11 billion U.S. dollars acquisition of Indian mobile phone company in 2007. The Indian authorities say that Vodafone should have deducted the tax money you paid to Hutchison Whampoa, a Hong Kong company.
Vodafone says that no tax should apply because the transaction took place outside India and that applying the tax to be paid by Hutchison. Analysts say Indian officials are billing Vodafone Hutchison, because it no longer does business in India.
The tax case of Vodafone and other companies with concern that taxes are subject to unexpected when it comes to buying and selling their investments, "said Nandan Nelivigi, a partner at law firm White & Case in New York that advises companies on investing in India.
"Foreigners do not want to avoid paying taxes in India," he said. "But I just want to know what their tax obligations are."
However, some executives say that doubts about the investment climate in India are being exaggerated.
Gunit Chadha, chief of operations in India from Deutsche Bank, said that while he would like politicians to accelerate the pace of reforms, he does not believe that India has become hostile to foreign companies. Despite the recent recession, he said, cash flow remains much higher than as recently as 2004, when India attracted only $ 6 billion in foreign direct investment.
"Sometimes it's a good idea to open the faucet is calibrated so as not to flood the place and then having to turn off the tap erratically or clean up the mess," said Chadha. "You always have a situation in which one could argue that could have done a little more or a little faster, as is the feeling. But in a democracy like India, more slowly is beneficial."

Police Corruption In India
There is no shortage of fraudsters in India. However, when these people claim to represent the police or intelligence agencies, the consequences of deception can be powerful. It is therefore vital that the State should make concerted efforts to locate and bring these people out of business. As reported by this newspaper, three impostors were arrested in New Delhi after it was discovered that a man paid Rs9mn to secure two letters of appointment to positions in the police department. The man wanted the letters to him and his cousin for the position of assistant superintendent of police. The fake documents carrying the signatures and seals of the top police officials and senior bureaucrats. One of the alleged fraudsters had reportedly claimed that he was the country director of Interpol, and the director of an intelligence agency, had "service cards" of these organizations to prove it. The scam was discovered after the applied victims of the police department, only to say that the appointment letters were false.
The incident highlights the fact that there are black sheep in the departments of government - especially the police - who buy and sell jobs. Rs9mn is an amazing price for two posts of ASP, which indicates the ease with which individuals can rake dishonest once they are hired as policemen. A probe is needed to determine how the suspects seized the stamps and if the seals are authentic. This case also raises a broader view: There is a need for a thorough cleaning of the police department to eliminate individuals that give the force a bad name, either by falling into corruption or complicity with the scammers. The authorities should take strong action against those who abuse their status for personal gain by public officials

Worsening corruption police for hours
The 4 th Amendment to the India says: "The right of people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants topic, but where there is cause probable, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized. "
This so-called right of all citizens are supposed to is slowly being cast out of society because of the abuse of power by law enforcement. Note that once held a career in law enforcement, but after repeated incidents I've seen and heard, my decision to change rapidly.
My name is ... .... and studied Criminal Justice for over 3 years with the desire to be a police officer soon. My area of study changed suddenly after my civil rights were violated by Fostoria Police deals. The harassment was so horrible that I had to leave town to avoid additional traffic citations. Now I am preparing to become general manager at a restaurant next year and going to college for business management. This is my story ....
Fostoria, Ohio is a small town south of Toledo and has gone from a city, once in good condition for a city trapped in a campaign of violence, drugs and police corruption. As part of a personal research project, I investigated the police department to enroll in a career during the program. I was surprised when I told an officer "who do not follow any traffic laws ... why should I?". Wait a moment here, now how can anyone enforce a law when you do not follow themselves. Countless times department members participating in the online gaming sites, while on the clock care to protect and serve. Prevaricate and steal a slogan would be more appropriate in this department.
In mid-June I was passing through town with two friends in a squad car began following Fostoria my block by block. I was arrested for failing to signal 100 feet before a red light, but I think I scored well before then. The Officer approached my car and told me to go, I went and locked my doors. He asked why I close my car and my response was "I do not trust police Fostoria going through my car." With the officer was very upset by my answer led me to one side of the road and repeatedly asked if I had drugs in the car. At this point any person having knowledge of the law should know not to answer questions that could prove his guilt, it is a constitutional right against self-incrimination. Drug has never been in my car and never will be, but the pigs were determined to find the contraband, if your job depended on it. So putting on the K9 unit, where the officer reacted the dog in the back of my car was out of my sight. The officer then tried to factor the possibility that the dog had reacted using me. This is very important for anyone involved in a position to respond exactly as I did. He asked me if I saw him do anything for the dog to indicate the presence of drugs. Realizing what he was trying to get answered, "I could not see the dog or the other side of the car." If I would have answered "No", then I agree that the dog detected the drugs in my car.
After another argument between the police and I went with two quotes and my rights violated Fourth Amendment. The next day I contacted several government agencies about the incident, all telling me to file a complaint through the Department. My actions eventually resulted in the Sergent receive written. You may have to pay hundreds of dollars in fines and taking away points on my record, but in my mind stood for what was right, I did, I won.

Police Corruption
Government has used the police to protect the people against theft and other undesirable activities. The police department is designed to serve and help people. However, in recent times there are many problems caused by men to the police because of the pubis to the increase in police corruption. Public men are afraid of the police, since they have the power in their hands and harass people sometimes. There were many occasions that the laity had to surrender to the illegal activities of these men of the police. These uniformed men take the law into their own hands and get people to force anything, they say. They tend to hurt people when they are not forcing them. There are many cases where simple and innocent people are being indicted on charges of many of them without any rhyme or reason. Most of these people are poor and do not have enough money and support to save these men from the police.
A recent incident took place in Orlando, where a young man driving his car at a music club. He was driving his car within the limits, and he had no reason to accelerate the car. He suddenly stopped by two police men, and this young man asked me why I was asked to stop. Once the car stopped he asked for her role as a driver's license, insurance, etc. The young man was all that was required police still were not satisfied and asked if he had any drugs and bombs. This young man was surprised and said that, in turn, follows the police refused to believe and out of the car, and the hand of his hands cuffed. Later this young man came to sit on the edge of the road for no reason. This incident has caused a trauma in your life, and had the fright of his life. There are many such incidents happening in the world and people should express their opinions against them for a better and healthier future.

Police corruption and the reasons
The dividing line between corrupt and non-corrupt activities, it is quite difficult to define. A police officer who took advantage of his power and authority to obtain personal and organizational benefits can be described as a corrupt police officer.
Corrupt police officials taking bribes, money laundering and illegal transfer of assets seized from illegal activities. There was no corruption, as long as there have been police in the United States. Due to some bad apples, scandals arise, defaming the police. Not just the junior officers are involved in such malpractices, but also senior managers, and those ranked below them are involved in organized corruption.
One of the best examples of police corruption is the Rampart scandal of the 1990's where more than 70 officers were arrested because of police misconduct. The anti-gang unit of the LAPD's Rampart Division is responsible for police misconduct that included the planting of evidence, preparation of the suspects, robbery and drug treatment, data protection, unprovoked gunfire and beatings. In May 2001, according to the testimony of a police officer named Rafael Perez, who confessed his involvement in police corruption, the Rampart investigation involving more than 70 officials for irregularities with 5 completed, seven resigned, and 12 officers were suspended.
There are several causes of police corruption. According to a report, the areas of police work that is subject to management control at least as monitoring of illegal goods or drugs are more prone to corruption. These areas are associated with financial temptations that attract a particular agent.
The best way to reduce corruption among police officers is that the control through various prevention strategies and introduce reforms at all times. This is not easy and that reform must consider the organization as well as the political environment and task. One thing is certain: you can not judge the entire police set because of a few corrupt individuals.

Mathematics of Corruption
An intriguing aspect of human history is that some settlements that seem to stand for a period and lead to evolutionary change began to diminish after a certain level of progress. The end of civilization due to a natural disaster or man is not unexpected. However, the fact that these civilizations are not able to rebuild long after the calamity that happens is difficult to explain. If a group of human beings were able to create an advanced civilization in a moment of time should be much easier for them to do it again with the advantage of experience. But we find again and again that this does not happen. Thus, the sites of the earliest human civilizations - the Indus Valley. Mesopotamia and Egypt are among the most backward places in the world. Five thousand years ago the inhabitants of the Indus Valley had the use of cabins with plumbing and drainage. Today, most citizens in the area of animals defecating in open. There was a time in Greece and Rome the head of Europe, are now almost in a leadership position in the same continent.
One might think that the original main civilizations fell because of genetic dilution of native peoples as a result of the mixture with a larger population undeveloped. However, we have often noticed that even a small group of influential and developed can help establish an advanced civilization, but most of the population is not equally developed. Another reason why the old assigned to the decline of civilizations is the moral decadence and corruption. Once it enters the society of persistent infection driven by greed may persist for thousands of years. Although corrupt societies tend to be corrupt at all levels, is corruption among the rich and powerful who have the greatest effect on society. A corrupt dictator, though that can operate under the guise of a democratic leader, can impoverish an entire nation. Similarly, corruption among politicians, police, judiciary, senior administrators and influential business people of a country may result in the generation of poverty for many, directly or indirectly as a result of their actions.
To illustrate the point that corruption among some may result in the impoverishment of many in any society, let us consider a simplified mathematical model. Poverty among social groups is a numbers game and therefore suitable for mathematical modeling. We estimate that on average financial corruption of a member country rich in no poverty of the ten members of society. This is not a course on the top, as it has been mentioned that a dictator can only be a cause of poverty among millions. The term rich is an abstract term understood differently by different people. This can be interpreted as meaning that the most basic of the rich is one who is deprived of basic necessities of life - adequate nutritious food, shelter, clothing and basic medical needs, educational needs etc. of the family is readily available to a person. This is in contrast to people who can not afford adequate food and nutrition, living spaces, etc and therefore can be considered poor. Among the wealthy, would undoubtedly have some that barely meet the definition of being rich, while there would be few who can be considered as linings have enough money not only for their essential needs, but also some to burn or throw it all . There may even be some members of society who are ultra rich. These are like the richest people in the world that not only have enough money to burn, but if they would go about actually doing so, its lifetime would not be sufficient time to perform the task.
Returning to our initial hypothesis that the average financial corruption of a rich person impoverishment results of ten people who can get a simple relationship between the extent of corruption and poverty within a society. Thus, if ninety percent of wealthy people who got rich are damaged by unfair means this would result in a ninety percent of the population is poor. In nine out of ten people would corrupt rich and these give rise to ninety-nine poor. The situation as described here is not very different from that which prevails in some developing countries today. On the other hand, if only one percent of the rich are corrupt, leading to a society in which only ten percent of the population is poor. In a hundred people nineties are rich eighty-nine that got that way from honest efforts to a single collection of ill-gotten wealth. This situation can not be very different from the situation in some of the world's rich countries today. Within a country, and similar reasoning applies and we can see that the poorest provinces are those in which corruption is common. The argument that poverty causes corruption can not be invoked here because this is the time to consider the corruption of the rich only. A mathematical relationship can be developed based on the assumption today.
If a country has the percentage of rich people I with the percentage of C, then to be corrupt
(RC/100) x 10 = 100 - R
Therefore,
RC/10 + R = 100
O
RC + 10R = 1000
And
R = 1000 / (C 10)
Based on the equation developed can tabulate the percentage of influence of corruption on poverty percentage. Shown in Table 4.1

The analysis here is extremely simplified. as complex as human behavior phenomenon need more complex management. However, even with complex design of the trend of the results will not be very different. Even the simple model here illustrates the insidious effect corruption among the rich and powerful members of society can have on society as a whole. The table shows that even if 20% of the wealthy members of society is corrupt, which can lead to most of society remain poor. On the other hand, once corruption through the seventy percent level does not matter if eighty or ninety or one hundred percent. Poverty is equal to about ninety percent. There must be some people to consume nature's bounty. The insidious effect of corruption on society is dramatized by mathematical analysis. This shows how important it is to conquer this evil, if human societies are to become prosperous

Advani made a "last appeal" to the PM to accede to the demand of the opposition.
"You have the right to do so. Nobody can stop (to announce the CPM), "he said, adding that if the prime minister does not constitute CPM, then 2010 would be remembered as" Ghotalo varsh ka "(the year of embezzlement).
Firing on all cylinders, both objective Jaitley Swaraj and the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government.
Coping with the PM, Jaitley said: "You must stop smoking if you can not cope with a Joint Parliamentary Committee." He said only a CPM would be able to figure out what was allocated 2G spectrum below prices market in 2008 by the DMK leader and former Minister for Communications, A. Raja.

Corruption in India
China is the world's most populous country, but that hardly hear about corruption there. Societal, political, judicial and bureaucratic system in China seems to be better. Transparency International India always occupies the top among nations in terms of corruption is concerned. Almost every day the anti-corruption bureau officials capture several officials who are corrupt. Corruption appears to be a way of life for government officials below the assistant secretary level of the cabinet. The recent fiasco satyam computers is an example for the spread of corruption of private organizations as well.
Satyam Computers executive director inflated balance sheets to lure more investors. There were also several crores of rupees withdrawn by inflating the number of employees. The money earned thus illegal was spent on land purchases, and for other personal purposes. From the CEO of Satyam bought land in the names of Benami around Hyderabad, the land value has increased due to scarcity. According to reports from the media, which bought thousands of acres of land in various parts of India, which deprives the poor, even to live in cities.
At levels of government corruption is also rampant in 1. The implementation of welfare programs for the poor 2. The construction of various infrastructure projects such as irrigation ditches, banks, electricity projects or energy, roads, communications, educational institutions such as schools and universities. hospitals and housing projects, etc.
When ever a system of welfare or development is announced by the government, some politicians and bureaucrats eager to find loopholes in the system and find a way to divert the amount sanctioned. Such an attitude among the leaders seem to be responsible for many social ills such as child labor, forced labor, poverty, unemployment, etcEn policy India is a lucrative profession to earn money easily without doing any hard work. Political corruption is also prevalent in the promotion of officials, new appointments, sanction the tenders for the construction of development projects, expansion of a business or start a new business, corruption, etc. It therefore has not been in the three types of economic activity as the primary economic activities, secondary and tertiary.
Whatever money he earned would be spent in the electoral process to be elected again. Lawmakers should spend money to become a minister or even a minister of state. For example, Chandrababu Naidu bought many lawmakers to become the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh state after back-stabbing his father in law and former chief minister some years ago.
heavy population and scarce resources to meet the demands is one of the main reasons for the prevalence of corruption in India. According to some reports, including research organizations are related to corrupt activities.
The solution must begin at school by teaching children that money is not everything, but necessary to meet our needs. Thus, children should be aware of the importance of moral values and discipline in life. In a democratic country like India, people should play an important role in creating a better society instead of blaming the government for social ills, such people should choose only a clean, disciplined leader as their representative bodies legislature.

Government under attack by the increase in corruption, rising prices
New Delhi, Feb 23 (PTI) The current government was attacked in the Lok Sabha, the opposition was blamed for increasing corruption, rising inflation and the deteriorating employment situation.
Participate in the debate on the motion of thanks to the President for his address to Parliament, Sharad Yadav (JD-U) said that cases of corruption have increased during the UPA regime-II.
"Corruption is like opium addiction ... not going to disappear," he said, recalling the streak in corruption cases in recent years.
The debate was marked by frequent interruptions by members of the ruling and opposition parties, as they accused each other by rising corruption and lack of action to check the menace.
Referring to corruption in the organization of the Commonwealth Games, Yadav said the government should accept the proposal of the ousted president Suresh Kalmadi GTC Organizing Committee to establish a Joint Committee of Parliament to investigate the scam.
With regard to the scam of 2G spectrum allocation, said it was regrettable that Telecommunications Minister Kapil Sibal was contradicting the conclusions of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG).
"If Raja (A Raja, the former Minister of Telecommunications) has done nothing wrong, then why he is being interrogated, questioned Yadav, adding that" Sibal was the treatment of the nation as a legal bedroom. "
Sibal had described the findings of the CAG in the allocation of 2G spectrum as "completely wrong".
Yadav said that the money is allocated for the right to work scheme would MGNREGA waste.
The increase in prices, Yadav, lamented that the staples such as wheat, rice and vegetables were not available in ration shops in various parts of the country.
As for unemployment, he said, how five young people gathered in Bareilly lakh for 72 posts ITBP, shows the employment situation in the country.
Congressman Jadgambika Pal, however, reminded the government's achievements and said the UPA-II policies were intended to benefit the common man.
"The government was able to preserve jobs in the country at a time when people are losing jobs in different parts of the world because of the global financial crisis," he said.
He said the insistence of the Opposition 'in CPM 2G spectrum to investigate the house had cost 23 sessions in the winter session of Parliament and the nation Rs 172 million rupees.
Referring to the issue of corruption, he said, while Congress eliminated the chief minister of Maharashtra in the wake of the scam Adarsh Housing Society, the NDA did no such thing in Karnataka, despite adverse reports against the Prime Minister . .

India angrily, blaming government corruption, inflation
India angrily, blaming government corruption, inflation
NEW DELHI: Inflation is starting to hurt seriously, corruption is at its highest of all time and the government is not doing enough to tackle any problem. That is the way to the big cities of India feels the two issues dominating headlines in recent months, according to a survey of 8 of the city made exclusively for TOI.
Asked what impact rising prices have had on their household budget, only 3% said it has had little impact. About a fifth of respondents said they had been forced to reduce consumption of some items, one in six said they had put off some purchases, a quarter said they had reduced their savings and a little more than one three said he had felt all of these impacts.
The question of who was responsible for these prices out of control, six of the seven fault of the Central or state governments or both. About two-thirds said the government has done everything possible.
On corruption, the anger is even more evident. An overwhelming 83% said it is at its highest ever. Three out of five political blame for this state of affairs and less than a third of respondents believe the government is serious about the problem. Almost everyone keeps corruption scandals that have tarnished the image of government.
Interestingly, almost two thirds of respondents believed that corruption had not been so dominant, government revenues have been further than allow some tax cuts. In other words, the exception to the corruption is not just for moral reasons.
The survey, conducted by Synovate, a market research agency worldwide, surveyed nearly 2,500 respondents in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Lucknow and covers people from the socio-economic categories A, B and C.
Two shocks, different responses
Interestingly, however, significant differences in the details of the responses of several cities.
Almost everyone in urban India, for example, admits that the price increase has forced changes in family budgets, but people in different cities seem to have adapted differently to economic crisis. In Hyderabad, for example, the predominant response was that had led to a reduction in consumption levels, with 46% offered the answer. In Mumbai, however, the impact seems to be mainly in the form of savings reduces 45% say it's like they have faced.
Even the perception of who is to blame for this varies across cities. While overall 23% blamed the Centre, 12% blamed the state government and 51% said both were responsible, the cities of Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Lucknow, all in opposition-ruled states, saw participation in the guilt more biased towards the government in New Delhi.
The government has done everything possible to control prices? Most of Delhi took a charitable view of this topic, while three quarters of Chennai returned a decisive NO.
Asked if the poor have been hardest hit by the spiraling prices generally 46% said yes while 34% said that the middle class had also been badly affected. In Lucknow, however, 75% said the poor had become more affected, while Chennai fell at the other end with 51% saying no.
The extent to which corruption is grab Mindspace was evident in the fact that 83% said it was on its highest point, but if that is an impressive figure consider this: in Lucknow 99% said yes and also in Hyderabad and Kolkata rang the number to 90%.
Politicians, as expected, emerged as the most villainous of the people on the issue of corruption, but the atmosphere was particularly marked in Chennai, where 67% blamed the net, reflecting perhaps the fact that a prominent Tamil Nadu politician, a Raja, has been at the center of the most high-profile scam. Mumbai, however, reveals an introspective vein with 41% saying we are all guilty of corruption.
As with inflation, so in corruption, Delhiites were more likely to be charitable to the government, 52% said they believed the government was serious about fighting corruption. He was accompanied by Ahmedabad, where 43% trust the intention of the government.
Not surprisingly, nearly all respondents thought that the image of governments have taken a beating because of corruption scandals. There was, however, differences in how badly they have dented its image. Hyderabad was at one end of the spectrum, with 80% said they had seriously damaged the image of governments, while Ahmedabad, on the other end was only 33% express that view.
Could we have less tax if you were under the corruption? Once again, responses were varied. The city that most accepted the relationship was in Chennai, with 96% saying that taxes could be reduced as fewer graft means more revenue for the government. By contrast, Bombay and Ahmedabad, arguably the two most economically smart cities, were more cautious at this point.
Finally, it would be a scheme to launder black money amnesty would be a good idea? In a somewhat unexpected response, 54% said they would. Perhaps surprising, the city where he welcomed most of the idea was to Calcutta (87%), while the more opposed the Hyderabad (74% say no).
TOI-Synovate mood of national survey
* 97% say price hike has affected the family budget
* 86% blame the Centre and state governments to inflation
* 62% say that government has done everything possible to curb prices
* 83% say that corruption in all-time high
* 60% feel guilty main political
* 64% say that government is not serious about fighting graft
* 96% say that the Central Govt image damaged by wave of scams

Asked what impact rising prices have had on their household budget, only 3% said it has had little impact. About a fifth of respondents said they had been forced to reduce consumption of some items, one in six said they had put off some purchases, a quarter said they had reduced their savings and a little more than one three said he had felt all of these impacts.
The question of who was responsible for these prices out of control, six of the seven fault of the Central or state governments or both. About two-thirds said the government has done everything possible.
On corruption, the anger is even more evident. An overwhelming 83% said it is at its highest ever. Three out of five political blame for this state of affairs and less than a third of respondents believe the government is serious about the problem. Almost everyone keeps corruption scandals that have tarnished the image of government.
Interestingly, almost two thirds of respondents believed that corruption had not been so dominant, government revenues have been further than allow some tax cuts. In other words, the exception to the corruption is not just for moral reasons.
The survey, conducted by Synovate, a market research agency worldwide, surveyed nearly 2,500 respondents in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Lucknow and covers people from the socio-economic categories A, B and C.
Two shocks, different responses
Interestingly, however, significant differences in the details of the responses of several cities.
Almost everyone in urban India, for example, admits that the price increase has forced changes in family budgets, but people in different cities seem to have adapted differently to economic crisis. In Hyderabad, for example, the predominant response was that had led to a reduction in consumption levels, with 46% offered the answer. In Mumbai, however, the impact seems to be mainly in the form of savings reduces 45% say it's like they have faced.
Even the perception of who is to blame for this varies across cities. While overall 23% blamed the Centre, 12% blamed the state government and 51% said both were responsible, the cities of Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Lucknow, all in opposition-ruled states, saw participation in the guilt more biased towards the government in New Delhi.
The government has done everything possible to control prices? Most of Delhi took a charitable view of this topic, while three quarters of Chennai returned a decisive NO.
Asked if the poor have been hardest hit by the spiraling prices generally 46% said yes while 34% said that the middle class had also been badly affected. In Lucknow, however, 75% said the poor had become more affected, while Chennai fell at the other end with 51% saying no.
The extent to which corruption is grab Mindspace was evident in the fact that 83% said it was on its highest point, but if that is an impressive figure consider this: in Lucknow 99% said yes and also in Hyderabad and Kolkata rang the number to 90%.
Politicians, as expected, emerged as the most villainous of the people on the issue of corruption, but the atmosphere was particularly marked in Chennai, where 67% blamed the net, reflecting perhaps the fact that a prominent Tamil Nadu politician, a Raja, has been at the center of the most high-profile scam. Mumbai, however, reveals an introspective vein with 41% saying we are all guilty of corruption.
As with inflation, so in corruption, Delhiites were more likely to be charitable to the government, 52% said they believed the government was serious about fighting corruption. He was accompanied by Ahmedabad, where 43% trust the intention of the government.
Not surprisingly, nearly all respondents thought that the image of governments have taken a beating because of corruption scandals. There was, however, differences in how badly they have dented its image. Hyderabad was at one end of the spectrum, with 80% said they had seriously damaged the image of governments, while Ahmedabad, on the other end was only 33% express that view.
Could we have less tax if you were under the corruption? Once again, responses were varied. The city that most accepted the relationship was in Chennai, with 96% saying that taxes could be reduced as fewer graft means more revenue for the government. By contrast, Bombay and Ahmedabad, arguably the two most economically smart cities, were more cautious at this point.
Finally, it would be a scheme to launder black money amnesty would be a good idea? In a somewhat unexpected response, 54% said they would. Perhaps surprising, the city where he welcomed most of the idea was to Calcutta (87%), while the more opposed the Hyderabad (74% say no).
