None. They are the victims, and whatever is bad about them result
from their ruling elites that are corrupted and also brainwashed by
firstworld ways and propaganda. When they follow traditional ways,
they invariably do the opposite of what I wrote - and why not,
traditional ways have lasted and supported them for thousands of
years.

Perceptions are very shonky. Very einsteinian. Designed to make
people think worse of themselves, by insinuation. Such rascality must
be remarked upon from time to time, as I am doing now. Anything can
be proven by opinion-polling!

Now this hardly scientific evidence to make sweeping statements about
the totality of fraud in India! That this sort of shonky statistics
is being used to come to drastic decisions, shows the level of
corruption and mendacity among those who use this sort of nonsense for
propaganda. For one thing, only private firms are polled. Then only
executives are polled. Obviously executives will be prone to
corruption and bribery! That a significant percentage in private
sector do not say that they are vulnerable, is a great point. As an
executive in a public sector once upon a time, I was NEVER vulnerable
to corruption or bribery, and I do not know any executive who was.
Because, it was simply impossible - our work was laid out for us, and
we just did it. It is not that we were angels, it was just that the
system did not permit corruption for MOST executives. Those in
purchase, maintenance etc. had to deal with the private sector, and
there was scope for corruption for them. But they were strictly
watched by others, and while anyone could say anything, hearsay does
not count in any court of law.

However, here we find that pure hearsay as opposed to policework and
law courts, is being used to damn all Indians and Chinese by the
corrupt and fraudulent einsteinian malevolents.

True, here I have to protect myself from frauds of all sorts all the
time. Never had to do that, in India. Simplicity and poverty there,
enforce a certain kind of honesty. Here in the firstworld there are
too many people with desire to get rich anyhow, and so we have pyramid
schemes, doorknockers wanting to convert you to their religion and so
take 10% of your income, many shonky salesmen, people bothering you to
change your energy supplier or telecom company on flimsy or mendacious
grounds employing half-truths, politicians doing wrong and stupid
things to benefit their mates, the whole thing supported by a wrong
and schizophrenic view of the universe based upon blackholism, a
terrific fraud indeed.

So, staying in India for 33 years, and in firstworld for 22, has given
me a sort of balance that necessarily irritates those non/pseudo-
Indians malevolent to Indians (Hindus in particular) as they are
either bigoted, corrupted or are over-opportunistically supportive of
commercial firangi interests.
