Many? Which countries do not suffer from corruption? This seems to be the human condition. As the old saying goes, “power corrupts…”. It’s not of question of “if” a country is corrupt, it is “how much”.

True but India does seem to be steeped in it. I once bribed someone in India accidentally and didn't realise what had happened till afterwards. That's how embedded it is in daily life. I can't imagine that happening anywhere else I've been and I've been a few places.

What happened? Sounds like an interesting story

It's more a matter of scale and how embedded it is in everyday life.

Getting almost anything done without having to wait months / years / decades requires some form of black money payment ie a bribe.

For example: have you personally ever had to bribe someone, thought about it, or even considered it a possibility?
