The GGP is lucky in that he has not seen or heard (by choice it appears) anything in or about India that would confirm any of this. I happily forgive him and I hope that he won't have to adjust his view on an incident where he has first hand information, for instance by being the victim.

Your story about the property sounds very believable with what I've seen so far, and I wonder what happened after you sold it, if the buyer got the same treatment that you had or if this was the last of it.

And trickery like that happens everywhere, even in countries that on paper have very little corruption, I've seen a case with quite a few common elements in Canada.

I am in Canada, and I can confirm this. A few years back my family was involved in an ordeal which made our already difficult life so much more difficult and stressful.

In fact, my mother suffered major depression, unable to believe that even in a country like Canada corruption is present. Even to this day she is having troubles getting over it, but life goes on.

I'm glad your friend is safe now. The world really needs more people like you and Daniel.

Generally, the way it works is if your property is worth 20, and you can may be get 22 out of it if you try, you sell it to someone for 15 who can handle the trouble.

The GGP is bizarrely lucky, I don't know of one person so insulated that they haven't seen the routine and casual abuse of power and flaunting of in this country.

Property battles are among the ugliest and most underhanded types of disputes to get involved in here. Sons using the cops and litigation to kick the mother/parents out of the house levels of ugly.
