I'm usually very hesitant when it comes to discussions on corruption in the country. Corruption carries the burden of many meanings in it and so its very easy to get caught up talking past other people.

For one there are several different types of corruption, I usually treat them as small c corruption and Big C "Corruption".

A break down for Small C corruption for Bangalore between June July can be got here - from ipaidabribe:

(for some reason their site doesn't have the photo, so had to dig up their Facebook page)

Then there is large 'Corruption', the purvey of our politicians which has to be treated differently. Thats what we need the Lokpal bill for.

The new changes to service tax though, will slowly close many of the loop holes though.
