Legalize Electoral, Governance & Political Corruption? Prasad Rao gprasadrao@hotmail.com ; gprasadrao.blogspot.com; gprao64.blogspot.com Evernote: gprao Click  here  for a pdf The Context Elections are not just in the news, the media is thick with it, and the soundwaves are jamming our 4G-hot, rock’n roll ‘Play’ videos! India is once again host to the grand show – bigger than the Kumbh or the IPL TV audience, and rivalling any other mass gathering, even globally. But this column is not about how, or why these elections are portrayed as ‘Vote-now-for-your-Diwali-tomorrow’ event. It’s about the financial ethics behind this constitutional requirement that empowers citizens of this country to elect their Political Government for another term. Running a successful pan-India campaign to elect 545 representatives to the Lower House is not an everyday task, even if that event is administered and financed in part by the purportedly independent Election Commission of India.

It offers Businesses and Consumers compatible incentives to dovetail their activities, and obtain a society that is environmentally-prudent.

Prasad Rao #Honest2God, I am an Energy, Environmental and Mineral Economist. Factually! Print a PDF Introduction The Nominal paradigm is ever so incestuously twined with Technology and Politics, that not many perceive how it interacts with another behemoth from times immemorial – Religion.

Its history is as much interspersed with religious institutions, awe-inspiring structures and grand festivals, as it is marked by acts of violence, wars, and cruel torture. Religion, in its role as either a friend or foe of the Royalty , has influenced political rule in various continents for centuries. In fact, Religion verily shaped t...
