"I am surprised that no mention of India was made in the article on corruption. India has its place among the most corrupt countries in the world and the dollar value of corruption there is surely greater than that of all the middle eastern and African countries surveyed in the article. No one who has spent any length of time there (a couple of decades, in my case) can seriously believe that this will change in the foreseeable future. The growth of the last decade has seen a proportional increase in corruption."

David Fuller's view Yes, and only Indians living in India can really do anything about this. Surely corruption is becoming an increasingly important political and socioeconomic issue.

Deepak Lalwani also addresses this issue in his letter below.
