&gt;&gt;You have confused scale of corruption<p>Everything that I wrote, right from the prime minister&#x27;s office to ordinary man on the street is public knowledge.<p>&gt;&gt;definition of corruption with something that you think is wrong.<p>If you think corruption is only when a printed note is exchanged, I wouldn&#x27;t be surprised to see why its so hard to eliminate corruption in India. Bulk of the corruption doesn&#x27;t see any exchange in money. Its the favors and grants that are exchanged in way that facilitate further ease in earning money. Bargaining ministries, portfolios, license et al work this way. Heck bulk of the corruption in the Media in India doesn&#x27;t even involve money.<p>&gt;&gt;I remember we had to bribe a local fair price to get sugar and better quality rice. Those days are over long back.<p>When did you leave India? This was the scenario circa pre 1995. I don&#x27;t even know any one close, even my relatives who are poor who take rations from government fair price since more than a decade and a half. I think only BPL people get it these days.<p>&gt;&gt;Also I don&#x27;t see private company managers favoring people from their state of region as a corruption.<p>So true, most beneficiaries of a scam rarely see the scam as a scam. They see this as an one time opportunity to get ahead, and others are supposed to lie down and co operate.<p>Like I said before, most managers who do this think they are just &quot;helping&quot; their pets.<p>&gt;&gt;It all depends on company&#x27;s internal policies and whether they can run profitably under those cases or not.<p>A manager openly manipulates employee ratings, discriminates on the basis of language, geography, caste or religion. The person in full knowledge hands out rewards to people who don&#x27;t deserve. And denies and discriminates against those who do. Not only do you see nothing wrong in it, you seem to be justifying it.<p>Hardly surprising, why its considered impossible to eliminate corruption in India.
