Indians and Bank Robbers


Sensible Indians often rue the fact that invaders from prehistoric times have plundered our precious belongings while ravaging our heritage keeping long and imperishable impact in our country’s soul.

 

Our ancestors gave their blood and sweat towards making this country free from foreign rulers and making it a better place for living for us.

 

Alas! They never had dreamt of this breed of ostensible Indians, mastering the craft of fleecing fellow countrymen, else they’d have got dejected with the current scenario. 

 

Financial frauds are not new to India. The largest being  when government owned UCO bank was found to defrauded $3.2 billion (More than Rs.20,000  Crore).   The act of Nirav Modi, his uncle and ally Mehul Choksi, along with some devious bank employees of Punjab National Bank have scored the second largest financial scam in the country.  The PNB is the second largest money lender in the country and yet the way it has been defrauded points out that how easy it is for the fraudsters to manipulate the loopholes in our system. If we can add the cases like Vijay Mallya and other wilful defaulters (Banks have filed recovery suits worth Rs64,743 crore against wilful defaulters), it becomes alarming how country’s economy is getting disintegrated gradually.

 

One can assume that this is only the tip of the iceberg what we are looking at and there are many such cases, going to surface, provided unequivocal political willingness.   

 

We often brag being the largest democracy on earth and our eminent leaders whom we cast our precious mandate to elect and to serve us, always preach pro-people agenda. Incidents like Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya and the measures initiated by government and its machineries are all post facto and it will always cast aspersions about their willingness to set right the issues. But, then in India everything is politicized and will be seen in the color of their choice.

 

Midst of all, commoners will keep on suffering as collateral of the incident yet hope to get things amended from their choicest color.

Mithun Chakraborty – Bengal’s one & only universal DADA (Big Brother)

When the announcement for Shri Mithun Chakraborty’s news of being nominated for Dadasaheb  Phalke Award for his iconic contribution to Indian Cinema made public, being a Bengali and an ardent fan of the legendary actor, my first reaction was that no one could have been a better flag bearer as a human being to bring back golden days of Bengali Cinema. As announced by I&B Broadcasting Ministry of India on 30 th September 2024, the award was scheduled to be presented on 70 th National Film Awards Ceremony on 8 th October 2024. In middle and lower middle class Bengali community, the word ‘DADA’ , means big brother is uttered with great respect. Mithunda is a person, who earned this respect across the strata of the society and age barrier by his sheer integrity, hard work and humbleness. Today, Mithunda, is not only a film actor, anchor etc, but we look upto him as a brand for every facet of life beyond barrier of merely film acting only. Already, he has earned his respect pan ...

India And Her Malicious Neighbours

  Pakistan, as always, from its formative days has only had one point agenda, and that is to keep trying to disturb and disrupt our motherland. Despite being slapped time and again in their every malicious intention, they seem to be adamant that they will stop at nothing. All kind of atrocious activities, deception, deceit, falsehood, human right violation, patronising terrorist activity and eventually shameless denial of all proven offences seems to be in their social DNA. Day after day, they digging deep hole for their own country by trying to disturb our countries inner peace. Yet they do not have will to learn from history.   ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’ will be written in the history of mankind with a warning that there is no respite for the perpetrators involved in conspiracy against our motherland. Son & daughters of our soil will avenge them for sure. We have always believed and practised assimilation over destruction as our country’s strength. Unfortunately, Pakistan, ...

CAA-The Black Spot

Hit by protest against implementation of Citizens Amendment Bill (Citizens Amendment Act, now), West Bengal is writhing. Daily life has become immobile and the role of states’ administrative machineries has become questionable. Be it Rail & Road blockade, brainless destruction of public property or setting fire to trains & busses,    all sorts of vandalism are being showcased in different pockets of the state in the name of protest and instead of taking stern actions against those, state administration watching over as mere spectators is bound to raise eyebrows. If you interpret, after reading up to this point that I’m advocating in favour of this Act and thus voicing against protesters, it will be half truth. Problem with public pandemonium is that very easily sentiments take over from logic. Unfortunately, political intolerance in our country, across all party lines has become such that criticism is interpreted as opposition. CAA itself is deplorable since it direct...
