Analysis
'Now the critical need is to rejuvenate Satyam, through professional managers and/or established promoters who will inject fresh capital and Enthusiasm into the business. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) can play a pivotal role in this. Time is of the essence as customers cannot wait for solutions. We Indians by now are so used to all types of scandals and frauds by their Political leaders, Celebrities, Businessmen and public figures; it looks like nothing affects them anymore. There were a lot of passions aroused in the initial days of the scandals being exposed with questions like “How could he do it”? And “Why did he do it”? Etc. All is forgotten by the end of the day and it is back to square one for the common man.The fraud done by Ramalinga Raju is one more wake up call to our rather callous and laid back fellow Indians. The news story, which hit the Headlines a few months ago, exposed the utter dishonesty and Disregard with which Eminent businessmen deal with public money. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Raju came out with an admission of his guilt and wrongdoings by way of a five page letter drafted for his board members, the authorities took a full 3 days to initiate any legal action against this well connected and powerful individual .This man has revealed in his letter that he had manipulated the accounts of Satyam computers of which he was the CEO to a tune of around Rs.7000 Crores and that the money was non-existent. He further stated that he had boosted the amount of credit interest shown to the tune of around Rs. 400 Crores is another slap on the face of the easy to fool Investors. Just to think a man whom thousands trusted by putting their hard earned money into his business venture could simply write a letter saying he has manipulated his accounts to show better prospects for investment in his company, this simply shocks our senses .At long last the AP police have taken action and arrested Ramalinga Raju, Rama Raju his brother, and V. Srinivas one of the MDs’ of the company and now it is our job as usual to forget everything and get on with our boring lives. The coming few days will be however interesting to the passionate minority of Indians to see how many political and corporate heads role when more truths come out. In the meantime, it is only wishful thinking for the around 52000 Satyam Employees and the poor Investors.'

Famous quotes containing the word analysis:
“Whatever else American thinkers do, they psychologize, often brilliantly. The trouble is that psychology only takes us so far. The new interest in families has its merits, but it will have done us all a disservice if it turns us away from public issues to private matters. A vision of things that has no room for the inner life is bankrupt, but a psychology without social analysis or politics is both powerless and very lonely.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“... the big courageous acts of life are those one never hears of and only suspects from having been through like experience. It takes real courage to do battle in the unspectacular task. We always listen for the applause of our co-workers. He is courageous who plods on, unlettered and unknown.... In the last analysis it is this courage, developing between man and his limitations, that brings success.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
“Analysis as an instrument of enlightenment and civilization is good, in so far as it shatters absurd convictions, acts as a solvent upon natural prejudices, and undermines authority; good, in other words, in that it sets free, refines, humanizes, makes slaves ripe for freedom. But it is bad, very bad, in so far as it stands in the way of action, cannot shape the vital forces, maims life at its roots. Analysis can be a very unappetizing affair, as much so as death.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
