Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index The Bofors Scandal was a major corruption scandal in India in the 1980s; several Indian politicians, including then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, allegedly received kickbacks from Bofors AB for winning a bid to supply India's 155 mm field howitzer. The scale of the corruption was far worse than any that India had seen before, and directly led to Rajiv Gandhi's downfall. This article is from Wikipedia.
