india's corruption is competitive, free-market equal-opportunity corruption,
hence less threatening quality. of course, the daroowalas must be checked
with extra caution.
western corruption is used to serve top one percent folks, hence far more
corrosive to bubba's standard of living.

India has slightly bettered its position from 85th (2008) to
84 th in 2009. Pakistan has slipped: from 134th to 139th, in
a field of 180. Koran says nothing against bribes, so it is
halal.

Internally displaced children eat outside their makeshift shelter at a
camp outside Mogadishu, Somalia. The country is rated as the world's
most corrupt nation. (Omar Faruk/Reuters)Somalia and Afghanistan,
countries that receive billions of dollars a year in international
support, are among the world's most corrupt nations, a watchdog group
says.

Transparency International released its annual Corruption Perceptions
Index on Tuesday, saying war-ravaged Somalia remains the world's most
corrupt country, followed by Afghanistan, Burma, also known as
Myanmar, and Sudan.

According to the latest report from the Berlin-based organization, New
Zealand is the most principled country, followed by Denmark, Singapore
and Sweden.

Canada is tied for eighth place with Australia and Iceland � up one
spot from the 2008 survey � while the United States is ranked 19th.

The organization attributed the least corruptible countries' strong
performance to their "political stability, long-established conflict
of interest regulations and solid, functioning public institutions."

Transparency International's rankings are based on how corrupt a
country's government is perceived to be by experts and international
institutions like the World Bank and the World Economic Forum.

"The results demonstrate that countries which are perceived as the
most corrupt are also those plagued by long-standing conflicts, which
have torn their governance infrastructure," the report said.

If ever anyone needed evidence of your incredible mental vacuity, you
have just provided it.

Wow, the drunken baboon is now out to defend the indefensible by
attempting to "qualify" corruption, with the Indian one being "benign."
Weren't you the one railing a little while ago on getting back the
alleged billions stashed away in Swiss banks? If it is "free-market"
corruption, garden variety activists like you shouldn't be bleating.

How is corruption भ्रष्टाचार in education such as six Education
Professors gang raping their student in Historic city of Gujarat,
Patan (of Siddharaj) competitive, free-market equal-opportunity ?

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article3321889.ece

Or how it is so when students are forced to get their parents sign up
for out of school hours costly tuitions of teachers who do not teach
or teach factually incorrect during their salaried time in school?

In Indian towns and citiies poor are not spared of corrupt practices
of schools.
A चना-सींग hawker must send his child to private tuitions outside
school hours.
A dumb child of an Police Officer is allowed to take English at the
cost of a bright child of a चपरासी.
Of course these for dis-harmony are cases of "competitive, free-market
equal-opportunity corruption"
