Download or read book 2G Saga Unfolds written by Andimuthu Raja and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Institutional governance is the bedrock of Indian policy making and enforcement under our fundamental constitutional tenet of 'we the people'. Such governance relies on harmonious administrative protocols with amicable adherence amongst all the stake-holders. The 2G issue, as it was investigated, audited, charged and adjudicated by the various statutory and constitutional bodies (CVC, CAG, CBI and the Supreme Court) flouted these precepts of harmony and amicableness. The aberrant process resulted in the violation not only of democratic values but also the rights and reputations of various individuals thus tarnishing our country's image on the international stage. It was an attempt to allege guilt of 'corruption' as defined by Transparency International (TI) i.e. "Manipulation of policies in the allocation of resources." Yet, A. Raja had established that their findings and observations were diametrically opposite to the decisions of the Cabinet, Parliament, Planning Commission and Telecom Regulator (TRAI). The purpose of this book is to caution the masses that personal motivations, institutional incompetency, misunderstanding or misguidance should not hurriedly endorsed without diligent inspection. Government bodies are accountable to - and empowered by the people - and in the end "all power is trust." The author demonstrates here that the '2G scam' is a shameful blemish on the sanctity of the administrative system of our country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do tax havens and syndicates running shell companies help fraudsters escape the long arm of the law? How does the ambiguity of valuation in the start-up ecosystem increase its vulnerability to corporate fraud? How are manufacturers and exporters from China exploiting India's Free Trade Area (FTA) with other countries to dump goods at artificially low prices in the Indian market? What challenges does the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) of China pose for regulators of India? Why do people fall for Ponzi and pyramid schemes again and again?

Download or read book A Bureaucrat Fights Back written by Pradip Baijal and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: POWER. REFORM. SCAMS. The 2G spectrum allocation scam struck a blow to the UPA-II government, and was perhaps India's biggest political scandal. The notional loss to the exchequer was a whopping Rs 1.76 trillion. Yet, it was no aberration. The 2G story is rooted in the very fabric of economic reforms in India--reforms that are essential for the growing economy. When Pradip Baijal took over as the third chairman of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India in 2003, the telecom sector was in serious crisis. But there was also resistance to the reforms he sought to implement. They were seen as both anti-establishment and pro-private business. Baijal fought for the reforms at great personal cost and, years later, the accused in the 2G scam blamed him for creating conditions conducive to malpractices. A Bureaucrat Fights Back: The Complete Story of Indian Reforms uses the 2G story--Indian telecom's rise from 3.1 million mobile users in 2000 to a billion in 2015--to analyse the roadblocks to change in India. It also captures the dilemma of India's civil servants, an especially pressing concern given the necessity of reforms. You are not doing your job if you shy away from reforms, and if you pursue them, you are likely to get mired in inquiries. How does a bureaucrat walk that tightrope? And at what cost? Intensely personal and deeply political, A Bureaucrat Fights Back is an examination of the best and worst of India's economic coming of age.
