When both the Talathi and Circle Officer denied, all I thought was "why didn't you pay them". That's why I think relying on agents who handle the bureaucracy and know which palms to grease are worth their weight in gold in developing countries. I think during our life time we'll see India massively improve in this area. They've already made so much progress over the past 20 years, it's a really exciting country to watch. They need more coverage in Western media like this though. Similar with China. An effective form of change is shaming the department or process, and if it's covered in Western media - at least this is true of India, it often makes local news.
