“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed”
-M.K. Gandhi
how rightfully said by the father of my nation, and how strikingly matches with india's current scenario
In this post, though i know am late will voice my opinions on the scam filled year of 2010,
Nothing in detail about the scams just a slight sweet and sour side of the scams.

Of all the scams in the decade, the year 2010 has the highest record ranging from all the parts of the country.
It began with the IPL scam where the IPL commisioner Lalit Modi was marred with scams for selling the stakes of teams illegally to make money.
What the Hell Happened?
Tax authorities probed the three-year-old Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, valued at an estimated $4.1 billion, after junior government minister Shashi Tharoor resigned after allegations of improper influence.
The widening scandal sparked off tensions between the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), a key ally whose chief is seen close to Modi, ahead of a possible confidence vote in parliament on Tuesday over high fuel prices.
The cricket board axed Modi immediately after the final match of the series, past midnight, saying he had "brought a bad name to the administration of cricket and the game itself."
Then it was the Common Wealth Games Scam .
What the Hell Happened?
The loopholes in the games event were that despite taking hoards of money from the common man of India, it was improperly organised which led to many athletes pulling out even before the event began. And also one more defect which was obviously expected from everyone around the world was the failure to finish the constructions in the given time limit.The person to blame for the irregularites and supposed to answer the whereabouts the huge sums of money- Suresh Kalmadi
What started out as a new beginning to erase the miserable past of India's incapability in achieving ANYTHING ended up in pretty much the same result.
This shameful turnout has probably lost india the chance to host any major games event in the future
Something to smile About
On the other hand it was the dawning of good times for the Indian athletes as they bagged enough golds to consolidate India's spot in the second position in the overall rankings. It was similar to the success of the opening and closing ceremony extravaganza of the event.
Then it was the Yeddyurappa Scam in the state Karnataka who was responsible for nepotism in the state.
What the Hell Happened?
Accused of favourably giving away acres of govermental land to his son, he continues to remain in power despite the huge protests by the opposing parties and ministers.
Yeddyurappa despite being on the edge managed to escape the allegations many times.
Seems like good times for the man.
The big question is
How long is the good luck going to last?
or was he born to be fortunate?
The most major scam probably in the history of scams was the 2010 India's 2G Scam which resulted in the loss of lakhs of crores of rupees for the Government
And guess who is the Goverment
Its the people, it was us who had to endure the loss
What the Hell Happened?
As far as I know ( please see articles on the web for a better explanation ), the scandal was that many of the top private telecom companies increased the quality of their cell phone service by increasing the spectrum frequency which is not allowed according to Indian norms.
And how did they do it
Ask the sly and not-so-naive ex-telecom minister of India - Raja
He took bribes to illegally increase the frequency range of the private companies and improving the clarity and hence attracting a large number of users.
The main companies involved in the scam were Airtel ( got sold ), Idea ( Aditya Birla Group ), Tata Indicom ( I personally don't find any ads of this network service provider, maybe its been banned. I also understood why this company was boasting about the superb voice clarity prior to the scam. Remember the 'SUNO DIL KI AWAAZ' slogan )
The scam went through rigourous litigation before the verdict was passed- Repay every single penny with additional charges for fradulency
I would like to conclude by saying that despite the previous infamous Satyam scam, business magnets in india fail to learn anything.Indian entreprenuers are more asscociated with indigenous scams than plans for empowerment of the world
Greed has brought upon them shame and misery, despite which they have no shame.
I would like to thank the highly responsive media of india for creating agitation by shedding light upons these fraudulent activites.In the previous years god knows how many such scams went unseen, but now through technology we have been really benefitted.A salute to camerapersons and reporters who are on their heels.
And to wrap it up
'Mera Bharat Mahan, Par Kuch Kaminoe Karte Hai Uski Badnaam'
But wait
Seems like another scam is breaking dawn, its about top investors stashing away millions of supposed-to-be-tax money in foreign banks.
