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.

Piyali Island – Your Weekend Jaunt

More often than not, whenever we contemplate about taking a break from routine city life, our mind starts wandering about destinations pretty common to all of us.   While discussing a jaunt on a fall winter weekend amongst friends, the onus was upon me to find out a place which is close by, beautiful yet not very commonly known to masses. Instantly, the name of Piyali Island popped up in my mind.   Earlier, somewhere I’ve heard of the place but never happened to be there.   However, I’ve started scouring in the internet as well as amongst people who might be aware about it. From the internet, I got desired information to be able to put up to my association. Most of the people I asked though told me about the picnic spot Piyali which is en route to Canning, 24 Parganas (S). But, since I knew that what I was looking for I didn’t pay any heed to it.   Four of friends, including me decided to take up the excursion on Sunday, 21 st January 2018 by local t...

Henry's Island - Getaway Next Door

We are living in an era when our over dependence on technology touching new heights every day.   In every facet of life, we fall back on our gadgets. Thus, acquiring information related to tour and travel is no exception.   Instead of exploring beyond regular and redundant, be it for visit to places of interests or for that matter just a weekend jaunt, we start scouring internet. Often, searches yields places very popular and beautiful, yet sometimes it can overlook beautiful places normally unexplored. This Holi (festival of color), it was an unpremeditated trip to Bakkhali, which ended up being at Henry’s Island, nearby Bakhkhali. Those, who are not acquainted with the name ‘Bakkhali’, it is a beach village in the southern fringe of West Bengal, State of India and the district being South 24 Parganas. Shortest distance from Kolkata to Bakkhali is 125 km ( Diamond Harbour Road {NH 12},   via   Sirakole – Usthi – Netra). If you take a detour v...

A Memoir of Murshidabad –Bengal’s Bygone Historical Epoch

While planning for our Puja vacation, our mind started wandering. It was primarily because we have not made any significant peregrination for long enough and also because of the fact that deliberating on a tour itself always is an energizer for a thirsty soul willing to run away from the hustle and bustle of city dwelling. Time space was not enough for a long trip yet not very short one also.  We had got 5 days for our tour. After a lot of argumentation and deliberation between two of us, brothers, as to where to head for, we have decided to visit Murshidabad. The reason propelling our decision apart from its being a historical city, which we were contemplating to visit, we have had a nostalgic connection to this place. Our father spent his childhood days in Murshidabad. He used to narrate stories of the place and those narratives left some delightful impression of Murshidabad in our childhood days which we wanted to relieve. We boarded Bhagirathi Express from Sealdah on ...
