India ranks 74 on world corruption chart

>> Click here to view original post

India on 74 out of 180 in being most corrupt? And this year it has dropped down two notches from the last year. I'm surprised because on the contrary, I feel India is getting worse. Hmm... what are the chances that the international corruption index guys were bribed to bring India down? Khee khee khee. Sorry, being my usual nasty self.

Anyway, I don't think it was very nice and tactful to bring Pakistan's position in the shoulder line of the news item, when there are other countries ranking higher than India in terms of corruption. Or they could have used the fact that India has dropped down two notches, which is any day more important to know (though I still have my doubts about it). Surely the newspaper is trying to please the majority "Indian" population by showing its so-called adversary in a poorer light compared to us. It really sucks.

And Russia in Asia? I thought it's Eurasia. As much Europe as Asia. There I go nitpicking again!

Anyway, I am quite curious how do they measure the corruption level or do the survey. And how creditable the agency really is.

Hypocrisy! the way I hear some people praise india - makes me feel sick - not that I don't want my country to be praised - but then the amount of lies that are in that praise are sickening... I do understand presentation is important -- but outright blatant lies!!! yuck!
