India's Costly Culture of Corruption
Here's a decent article on India's Costly Culture of Corruption. Let's face it, corruption is not exclusive to politicians, and it's in fact the grassroots support for corruption that has sustained it at the political level.

Corruption is always a grassroots phenomenon. If that was not so, Govt Employees would not command high dowries; from the IAS to the peon in a lucrative department.
Reminds me of an article in Readers Digest a few decades ago, about a US County electing an honest and strict sheriff. He went into action and brought a lot of corrupt to book, but then almost every family had some relation in the jail.
The sheriff was sacked midway through his term.
We can draw comfort from this illustrious example from the nation we always look up to. ;)
