The Pyramid

Is there a pyramid to Indian corruption? According to outsider nincompoops indeed there is. Save, they have their trigonometry the wrong side up. As you rise up higher the hierarchies of power - in business, politics, media, and bureaucracy - in our grease nation, the games and volume of corruption increase, hidden behind rules and laws and wide-spread non-transparency. What catches the occasional eye - of both visitors and our home-grown baby-boomers whose dads not them have to deal with the high-level corruption, is the corruption encountered in getting day-to-day things done. To them only low-level corruption is visible, which says a lot. You have to be down-right blind not to see the impact of the grease that oils the top. This is a slow start, and just an indicator to begin looking the right side up.
