Not For Common Men: The Two Most Dangerous ‘Businesses’ in India No One Dares to Do

đŸš«Â Welcome to the underbelly of Indian capitalism. This is not your startup pitch. Not your Shark Tank dream. Not even your father’s kirana store.
This is real business — the kind that requires more bullets than business plans, more muscle than marketing.

Because in India, there are two “industries” that look like business from outside, but inside, it’s nothing short of war.


1ïžâƒŁ Mining in India: A Business Built on Blood, Bribes, and Bullets 💣💰

When people hear “mining”, they think of earthmovers, hard hats, and minerals. But what they don’t see are the real layers of power buried deep underground.

đŸ”„ How It Works:

  • Getting a mining contract in India isn’t just tendering and bidding. It’s politics meets the mafia. You have to fight not just competitors, but politicians, bureaucrats, and the local strongmen—or Gundas.
  • After getting the license (which itself can take years of bribery, lobbying, and threats), the real war begins.
  • Locals protest – environmental reasons, displacement, tribal rights.
  • Naxalites attack – especially in mineral-rich belts of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha.
  • Rival gangs threaten – everyone wants a piece of the mine.
  • And then there’s the police – either bribed or complicit or both.

đŸ„Š What Happens on Ground:

  • Armed bouncers guarding every entry and exit point of a mine.
  • Hauling trucks get looted.
  • Rival contractors get killed or go missing.
  • Bribes to every level: Village Panchayat to Chief Minister’s office.
  • “Accidents” happen to activists who oppose these operations.
  • Enemies are eliminated not in court, but in jungles and ditches.

😈 The Businessmen Behind It:

  • These aren’t MBA grads. These are politician-backed dons, mostly from mining dynasties or new-age mafias.
  • Own multiple media houses, schools, and even hospitals—as a front.
  • In public, they wear white kurta and smile. In private, they decide who dies next.

2ïžâƒŁ Private Lending Mafia: The â‚č100 Crore Game of Fear & Finance đŸ’”đŸ”«

Ever heard of someone lending â‚č100 crore in cash, and collecting â‚č10 crore interest monthly?
That’s not your neighborhood bank. That’s India’s shadow finance empire.

💣 How It Works:

  • Rich businessmen or criminals “invest” money with interest rates of 5–10% per month (Yes, not per year. Per month).
  • This is illegal, but highly profitable. The borrower—often someone trapped or desperate—gets no banking support.
  • No legal papers. No banks involved. Only one thing matters: repayment in full.
    Delay? Your knees go missing.

🧠 Business Tactics:

  • The lender sends a gang of bouncers in Fortuners or Innovas, dressed like movie villains, for “monthly collection”.
  • If payment is late, your factory gets vandalized, your family threatened, or worse—you disappear.
  • In places like Mumbai, Delhi, Gujarat, Punjab, Andhra, Tamil Nadu—this is parallel banking run by criminals in suits.

đŸ”« Lifestyle of These Dons:

  • Surrounded by 10-20 armed bodyguards, sometimes carrying AK-47s (mostly illegal imports).
  • Roam in convoys, have VIP status, and are often friends with politicians and actors.
  • They don’t pay taxes, but they do finance politicians’ election campaigns.
  • Their kids study abroad, while they sit on heaps of black money buried in farmhouses.

⚔ Their World is Not Yours

If you think these guys live in fear—you’re wrong. They live with power.
If you think the police don’t know—they’re on the payroll.
If you think you can do this business—you won’t last a week.

These are not businessmen. These are modern-day emperors with a private army, underground gold mines, political backup, and zero mercy.


👿 Enemies? What Enemies?

  • Whistleblowers are neutralized.
  • Competitors are buried—literally.
  • Rebels become allies—or corpses.
  • Media rarely covers their names because owners are scared, advertisers are compromised, and reporters go “missing.”

And when law finally catches up, it’s too late—because these men have already become MPs, MLAs, or Rajya Sabha members.


🧹 Final Thought

These are not businesses.
They’re legal-looking war zones.
And unless you have millions to spare, a battalion of bouncers, political protection, and zero fear of death,
stay out of it.

Because in India, mining and money lending at this scale are not for “businessmen.”
They’re for kings without crowns, rulers without elections, and criminals in white linen shirts.
