An Indian Dilemma

Yesterday I had dinner with some students and asked them about their views on India. The number one issue they raised was corruption. This disease was the primary reason why I had left India more than a quarter century ago, and it appears that despite the likes of Infosys and Wipro corruption is alive and well. Even after a new generation has come of age in the business world, why hasn't the culture changed? I have done my little part during my stay here, but there is a lot more to be done.

On the other hand, India is a warm welcoming country, and the hospitality of the people is just astounding. Unfortunately it extends only to one's friends and close ones. Everyone else is treated as dirt.
