The home of scandals - History of Indian scandals (1948 - 2012)

The people behind wikipedia has complied an interesting list of scandals in India which a friend brought to my attention. As mentioned there - "This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness."

So, the following is a list of alleged scams and scandals in India since independence. These include political, financial, corporate and others.

Entries are arranged in reverse chronological order by year. The year is the one in which the alleged scam was first reported or came into knowledge of public.
