I think your love of your country is blinding you here. As someone who has lived in India for many years, I can say that such things do happen.

Moreover, it's not exactly a closely-kept secret. If you read the Indian news on a regular basis you will discover such stories from time to time.

It also seems to me that the quality of the government institutions in India varies quite a bit from place to place, not to mention from individual to individual.

I do not think that jacquesm has indicted the whole country, but I can appreciate it may be difficult to take what he has said from a foreigner posting on an international forum. You might consider that in light of the claims he makes he has avoided sweeping generalities that many others would not.
