Description

I refused to Bribe: A Stand against Corruption, by Gireesh Sharma, is an inspiring story of a banker who does not succumb to pressure and greed, and hence gets into trouble.

Summary of the Book

Jitesh disagrees to sanction a business loan for an Industrialist called Satish. He even threatens to call the police when offered a bribe. Hence Satish approaches Jitesh’s senior officer, Arora, who compels Jitesh to grant the loan. But Jitesh has decided not to. Satish and Arora wait for an opportunity to get back at Jitesh. One day, Jitesh helps a seemingly illiterate person to fill in a withdrawal form, who later turns out to be a conman. Jitesh is accused of fraud and is suspended from his job. He has to face a judicial inquiry that would last for 14 painful years! Will he walk out with a clean chit? What happens to the conman, Arora and Satish?

Story of a Highly Honest Indian– Rare Character; True Motivator

This is a book about one honest man’s struggle against false charges and a corrupt system. The story of protagonist Jitesh is told against the backdrop of some major political events in post-Independence India and the parallel growth of corruption almost as a way of life. The story becomes interesting ever since the second chapter – possibly because the issue of corruption touches a chord in all of us. The protagonist shows exemplary honesty in his personal life, very rare character at least ...

A Book Motivated by Arvind Kejriwal's Revolution

I am glad that the book is dedicated to our hero Arvind Kejriwal who seems to be the only honest & spotless living politician in India.

The author has done a good job writing a book which is need of the hour. Like the lead character of the Jitesh if every Indian refuses to bribe, the corruption will certainly stop. If we have a Vineet in every house, no father will dare to be corrupt. This book is a sharp attack on issue of bribery.

It is not sensational or dramatic, but actual account of...

One of the best books that I have purchased this year

Reading the story of such an honest man who would bear all the troubles but does not bent against the system made me so emotional. Sometimes the character of Jitesh seems unreal - but may be such characters existed at one point of time in India - now they are uncommon. Maya proved such a great wife who fight shoulder to shoulder with Jitesh in his fight with his corrupt manager.

I read a quarter of the book at my friend's place and could not stop myself from ordering a copy for myself - at i...

Cool Story!

I have read the review of this book in a national newspaper and so purchased it from FK.

The story is true and very inspiring. I learned from the story that preaching about honesty or good deeds and following it in real life are entirely two different things.

A must read for all Indians... You will never forget this story in your life.

Need of the hour - Very inspiring book

This is story of man who is faced with a situation which a common Indian faces every day. While most of us chose to bribe our way out of troubles, this man Jitesh chose to take the difficult path. In the process everything around him changed, but he continued his struggle. Won't spoil the book by letting you know what the struggle resulted into - for that, I highly recommend you read this book.

It's one of the most inspiring books I have read in a long time, and which made me seriously think...

An Honest Book

Well, I really wasn't that eager to complete that book, when I read the first chapter which was way casual. But, the book took no time to grasp my interest.

Firstly, the history regarding the independence of India, We have just heard or read about the Indian independence. Here, The situation of families, societies, how it got transformed, how the industries started to come into being, How banks played a vital role in the development of India is all explained here. Secondly, the transformatio...

Story mei dum hai!

We were considering a ready-made script for a short movie and looked for something that could be of an interest to people in Q1 2014. And, my team got this book for consideration.

I selected this book first only for its title; but, once I began reading, I found me immersed in the plot. Its engaging and reminds us about the long-forgotten value of Honesty.

Though I haven't selected this movie for as my subject.. primarily because we moved our timeline from Q1 to Q3, I would recommend this book!
