Sometimes some statements made about other countries may apply to India also, probably even more appropriately. The Economist of Dec.19th observes as under with respect to Ukraine:
"1) "Efforts to tackle corruption are going less well. No prominent figures from previous regimes have been jailed.
2) No one has cleaned up the murky but lucrative system for claiming value-added tax rebates on exports. 'Some people are still claiming refunds for exporting air,' says Mr.Fiala."
The first para explains itself. The government of MMS was seething in corruption. Yet no minister has been brought to justice.
The export bills scam in Bank of Baroda, Delhi is perfectly defined by the second para.
The same issue of the magazine, in a different context, quotes Peter Drucker: "No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organised in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings." India as a nation does not seem to be organised in such a way. Can India survive?
