Political Bribery in India
Political Bribery in India
This is often said that even being the second largest human population, India is legging for behind as for as the controls of global markets are concerned, but at least news being telecasted on Indian television channels are proving this wrong because according to these news price of vote of a single M. P. for vote of confidence is something between Rs. 25 carore to 100 Carore. The most interesting thing is, this is happening of a country in which almost one third families are forced to fight their livelihood with daily family income less than Rs. 100 only.
On the 22nd July 2008, a strange happening took place in the parliament during the debate on motion of confidence moved by Prime Minister, due to withdrawal of support by Left parties. All of sudden few B J P , MP’s opened two bags and stated showing the Indian currency, which was allegedly handed over to them for being remain absent at the time of voting on motion of confidence. According to reports published in the news papers of 23rd July, this bribe offering people were in contact of these MP’s since last one week or so and these MP”s have a word about this with their party leader.
This was not the first incident of exposing the unconstitutional relation between money, power and politics because in the past also various television channels have conducted sting operations, in which representatives of channel were offering bribe and politicians accepting it. This time this happen in the parliament house hence not only the 22nd July will be considered as the most black of Indian politics but also the incident become center of focus.
Incidents of these kinds are giving birth to a series of questions because a clean and bribery less social life is the indicative of moral life of the country. A few questions from this series of questions are:
Is the accepting bribe is not a crime? If yes should these MP”s from BJP bee punished for this?
If the bribe offering persons were in the contact of MP’s for a period longer than a week, why the police complain is not lodged against them for this unconstitutional act?
Should the television channels be allowed to do Sting operations without informing or getting permission from constitutional authorities?
Offering a bribe is a crime in our country. Should some person be allowed to commit this crime under the sweet name of sting operation?
Should this recent Indian attitude of committing a crime for exposing the crime be allowed to grow and spread? Will this be beneficial for social and public life of the country?
I am concluding this series of questions with a thought provoking and discussion oriented point. In our country citizens have fundamental right for freedom of expression, why the MP’s and MLA’s are kept deprived of this and are forced to vote according to party whip or otherwise loose their membership to the house? Are the MP’s and MLA’s are elected to represent party in the house or to be present as the citizen representative of the area from where they won the election?

Why to Visit India
Why to Visit India
People often ask this question just because in the past this happens to be vision of some people to look at India as the backward, facility less and land of religiously divided narrow minded citizens where sufis and sadhus are busy in cheating huge illiterate masses. These people had tried to disperses their this wrong vision about the land of Vedas, Work field of Buddha and Mahatama Gandhi, a country among the top seven countries in terms of land, second in population, highly populated democratic set up of ruling, country with almost 1000 languages and dialects, a true diversity in religious faith with about 80% Hindu population but freedom for Muslim, Shikh, Zoroastrians, Jains, Buddhists and all other small communities, a country from which citizens have highest ratio in the technical staff of companies like Microsoft, Doctors, Engineers and other professional of which country are always in demand in European countries, America and United Kingdom and above all world’s most progress economy of last 2-3 decades.
I am aware of the fact many of you might undergoing the disputed and confused mental status about traveling and tourism in Incredible India, so I am putting another seven important reason for India tourism.
1] Probably India is the only country with a long, over 7000 kilometer long coastline, hence there is beyond imagining attractions for lovers of aqueous. Water streams of north Indian states like Jammu Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttara Pradesh etc. are ideal places for water sports like, for skiing, fishing, yachting, kayaking etc.
2] From Goa to Adman Nicobar Island you will find a great number of beaches. India is the only country where you can plan a beach tour for the duration of your vacation and still either you have to make hurry or leave something unseen for the next vacation.
3] There is Himalayan mountain range as northern boundary of the country; South and east are the land of Indo- Gangetic area, where as in the west one can find desert like Thar, with all these diversified landscape no other country can match with India in greatest opportunities available for the eco tourism.
4] Mountain Railways, included in the list of World Heritage Sites of UNESCO is a life time memory and one of major reason for visiting India. There are some luxurious train tours like “Palace on Wheel” where almost all five star tourist hotel facilities can be enjoyed while traveling. One can find these trains in many Indian states like Rajasthan and Maharashtra.
5] With being the land of World Oldest knowledge books “Vedas” and largest university at “Nalanda & Takshshila” country is in abundance with historical monuments. This is ideal place for historical research scholar and citizen having interest in knowing about the historical facts of development of human societies. Tajmahal of Agra included in Seven Wonders of the World is one of the major attractions of India tourism for the world travelers. India is also land of forts and Palaces [many of palaces are turned into tourist stay homes hence this provided a chance of living with kingly status] that creates opportunity in looking back into history.
6] Another tourist attraction for India tourism is religious tourism, Char Dham Yatra, Kailash Mansarovar are the famous pilgrimage traveling. Urse of Khaja Mainuddin Chishti, at Ajmer in Rajasthan attracts Muslim devotees from all parts of globe. Dharamshala in the Himachal Pradesh is major activity center of Dalai Lama, Sanchi is centre of Buddhist religion, Golden Temple Amritsar is the most scared worshiped place of Sikhism, In the states of Kerala and Goa not only higher population of Christians can be observed but also one can find many historic Churches, Cathedrals and monuments related with the history of Christianity. Cave temples of Ajantha, Ellora, Elephanta and Badami are also among the tourist attractions of India.
7] Along with diversity of human culture, customs and traditions, India is richer with the huge number of flora & Fauna, hence is an ideal spot for the nature lovers. There are numerous reserve forests, National Parks and Bird Sanctuaries with tourist stay facilities to welcome one who find it interesting and thrilling to watch the wildlife in natural habitat. Abundance of forests provides scope for herbal treatment of diseases, Kerala beaches are world famous for herbal body massage.
With the high speed roads, mega highways, government help for developing the infra structural tourist facilities, increased internal air travel facilities and economically less expensive India is turning into” treasure trove" in true sense. I am sure for your next vacation; your dream tourist destination will be none else but India, Incredible India, a traveler’s paradise in all means.

Tourism and Rains
Tourism and Rains
When any body thought of touring India, he/ she often advice to avoid planning the tour in the months from July to September, just because these months are the rainy season in India. This is decades old understanding that during this season Indian situations and infra structural facilities are not adequate to meet with these wet, cold and humid climates. Unfortunately commercial of some well known hotels located at some of famous Indian tourist spots and cities, offering a cut in price of packaged tours, prove helpful for making this myth more and more, stronger.
This was the fact that India have sufficient heavy rains and in the past roads were not equipped with the facility of facing the excess flow of rainy flood water as a result of which, often the roads get blocked for hours and hours, days and days. Surely in those conditions tourist were forced to stay at a particular spot for the duration longer than the planning and have to suffer economically, beside that they might also forced either to cut down some places from their scheduled tour itinerary or to extended their tour period.
Rain water had flown very heavily in these 60 years of independence and country has marched a long on infra structural front also, along with so many modernization steps and technological achievements. Most of the Indian roads barring a few remote and hilly regions are know equipped to face these seasonal flood situations and keep on going with traffic. This makes the above advice a myth in true sense.
Rainy Tourism in India
India being a country, rich with nature, flora and fauna, hence there are abundant opportunities for tourism in this season, as during this time earth goes under lavish green cover, water reservoirs gets filed with water and water falls starts getting over flowed.
India is country of festivals also and many of Hindu festivals like, Nag Panchami, Shrikrishan Janamashtami, Puri Rath Yatra etc. are celebrated during this season, hence this is the most appropriate time to visit and get experience of Indian life with ancient glory and present modernization along with having a look on nature at its best.
One has to plan the tour properly to enjoy fullest without much disturbance from rains. If we look in India rains gets starting with south India and goes on in the north direction, hence one should start the tour in July by visiting Kerala, witnessing mesmerizing water falls, boat race etc. and keep on moving in north to reach Mathura for the Janamashatmi [Birthday celebrations of God Shrikrishna].
India tourism goes to dead end in rainy season is purely a myth and you can prove it so by enjoying the Indian rains.
