Before 1961 i.e before Goa was liberated, 'bribes' did not exist. There were presents made after some work was done. One used to call it 'Saguado'. There was nothing wrong in that. It was in the form of flowers or some material. It was not bribing as the work was already over. Now things have changed.Work does not even start before some money moves under table. Nobody cares as things take shape at the topmost table. It was said,that when Sir C.D.Deshmukh was the finance minister in the then Nehru Govt., he had told Nehru, that things should stop at this table. He was told by Nehru to look at the ' Biggest Democracy of United States of America'. Ours is just a new born democracy. Things go on. And the then finance minister had to resign. So it was nothing wrong thence. Things have deteriorated,after Indira Gandhis rule of 'Emergency'. It's KALIYUGA. With best regards, Dev Borem Korun.
