Message body:
The following is a very nice mail listing important scams in India since
independance. It is suggested as follows:
1 The anti corruption activists may like to agree on some date during the year
which should be observed as Anti Corruption Day. My suggestion would be to
observe Jan 30 as the Anti Corruption Day since it is Mahatma Gandhi's shahidi
diwas and because the first largely attended Anti Corruption rally was held in
Delhi and many other towns and countries on Jan 30, 2010.
2 Such updated list of scams and action taken thereon should be reviewed on
this day every year and published and televised by media on this day for public
info and knowing the earnestnes with which govt deals with such scams.
More suggestions are invited.

In reality ...
A nation where the price of Rice is Rs.40/- per kg and Sim Card is free.
Pizza reaches home faster than an ambulance or police.
Car loan @ 5% but education loan @ 12%.
Students with 45% get admission in elite institutions thru quota system and
those with 90% don't because of merit.
Where a millionaire can buy a cricket team instead of donating the money to
charity. 2 IPL teams are auctioned at Rs.3300 crores and India is still a poor
country where people starve for 2 square meals a day.
A country where footwear that people wear is sold in AC showrooms, but
vegetables, that they eat are sold on the footpath.
Where everybody wants to be famous but nobody wants to follow the path to be
famous.
Assembly complex buildings are getting ready within a year while public
transport bridges & roads alone take several years to be completed.
Where people make lemon juices with artificial flavors and dish wash liquids
with real lemon.
