A book exposing one of the biggest constitutional frauds
FAKE DEMOCRACY: The Panchayati Raj
A Salvage Call For The Nation
Fake Democracy? What's the stuff?
FAKE DEMOCRACY: The Panchayati Raj, exposes the ever biggest constitutional fraud in INDIA - the “Local Body Elections” under the “Panchayati Raj” where money from honest tax payers are lavishly and openly distributed to 30 Lakh local body members elected through Local Body Elections!
This broad day light LOOT is validated and further made perpetual by :Panchayati Raj Acts and Amendments" under the illusion of FESTIVAL OF DEMOCRACY fooling the people and even preaching the sincere honest tax paying citizen that it is apt, prime DUTY to vote!
In return of this and in all these years the government of INDIA has created a monstrous SYNDICATE of LOCAL BODY MEMBERS and their strong unbreakable ECOSYSTEM to do every possible harm, chaos, and all types of sinister acts as a RETURN GIFT for celebrating this FESTIVAL OF FAKE DEMOCRACY!
Who started these Local Body Elections?
Almost every Indian won't believe that the British started forming these so called "Local Bodies" just to get rid off the burden to provide the civil services and engage the local people and take a back seat and relax. This is not a book about corruption. Corruption is what happens when a good system is abused. This book documents a system built, from its very first colonial blueprint under Lord Mayo in 1870 and Lord Ripon in 1882, to extract from villages, not empower them — a blueprint independent India adopted almost unchanged, and then re-branded as democracy's crowning achievement. In 1992, Parliament passed the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments and called it "empowerment." They told us that they are finally handing power to the village, the ward, the ordinary citizen.
Reviews
The author has the courage to say what no one says: that even the Prime Minister, even a man of personal integrity, cannot stop this machine, because the Constitution itself mandates the holes in the ship. That is not an anti-national argument. That is the most nationalist argument possible — the nation above the system!
This is a fiery, data-heavy polemic against India's Panchayati Raj and Urban Local Bodies system. It positions itself as a "call to bury" the 73rd/74th Amendments' implementation, arguing they created a patronage racket sustained by endless elections, fund leakage, criminalization, and elite complicity.
