Sad, for example, because of the tens of thousands of talented workers whose future is under heavy cloud, and chilling because it reveals but a small part of the disordered “backyard” that Sathya Sai Baba famously said he would first “clean up” before transforming the rest of the world prior to quitting it circa AD 2022. And, again sadly, because such scandals can also obscure many instances of probity and quality of service.   Note:  In Sanskrit, Satyam and Satya (or Sathya) mean:  Truth".   HEADERS   India Now In Glare Of World Scrutiny   "India’s many corrupt political and other leaders from across a broad political spectrum – the same figures who for decades have been complicit in the massive cover up of Sathya Sai Baba-related scandals – are now under intense world focus".   Will India’s Strengths Overcome Repute For Endemic Corruption?   "The scandal "comes at a time of global financial upheaval, and recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India.

S. Rajasekhara Reddy is a notable supporter of Sathya Sai Baba, and complicit in the profound Puttaparthi and local, state and central government cover up of the many scandals involving Sathya Sai Baba and his core officials".   Extracted from BBC WORLD NEWS summaries of some major media reactions   Further News Sources   TAGS:  Accountability, Transparency, Due Diligence, Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, N.
