In the year 2018, the Indian government unveiled the Electoral Bond Scheme, a financial instrument ostensibly designed to bring transparency and curb the flow of illicit black money into political funding. For industrialists like Arjun Mehta, CEO of the formidable Mehta Industries, it presented itself as a streamlined, anonymous conduit for corporate donations, a seemingly legitimate pathway to influence policy and secure a competitive edge. The scheme was marketed with a polished sheen, promising a cleaner, more accountable political landscape. Yet, even in its nascent stages, a discordant hum of skepticism resonated across digital platforms. On the vibrant, often volatile, landscape of social media and the sprawling forums of Reddit, a growing chorus of voices began to dissect its true implications, their concerns coalescing around the unsettling potential for unchecked corruption and opaque influence.
