But hold on for a minute , look back at the days, ask yourself a question "was 2010 a eventful year ?".
Not in terms of an indivisual or a group but for a larger section. Ok, lets put the question in this way "was 2010 a fruitful year for the Indians ?? "
Well, as for me, my answer would be NO !!!
2010 has been a year of scandals, starting with
-the highly entertaining IPL issue;which took away positions of Lalit Modi and Shashi Tharoor ,then
- the evergreen 2-G scam ,followed by
-high profile CWG games scandal ,
-allegations of illegal mining in Karnataka ,
-Mumbai's Adarsh society scam and
-nepotism against Karnataka CM B.S Yeddyurappa.
I would be going in detail to every point, just to freshen up/my ,our memories as to how great Indian politicians and buisness men are.
The government at the centre created a deja-vu ,type of situation with reference to year 1980s. When the mother of all scam(in India) hit the Indian society , The Bofors scam, (know more about it here and here .
The Indian middle class is largely unaffected with these political corruption, even if one gets to know about it, there is a common proverb "janne bhi do " 'forget it' .
The most they care is the prices of onions rising up to Rs 80 \kg. Little do we realize these scams results from these small neglections.
Counting the amount involved in the above scandals would be as high as 7000-8000 crores (rough estimation) to Indian Government or indirectly to Indian people ( or may be not) , adding to it, the discussion hour held up by the opposition in both houses of parliament, leading to a loss of lakhs per day.
But leave these aside these are high profile matters ,as stated above
