I agree with most of your points, but I don't think #1 (family-centric society) is the problem, or even a direct driver of corruption. If you were referring to nepotism, then I think that exists all over the world. An overall corrupt climate just makes it easier to practice nepotism.

And in India you probably do have some cousin who needs the money because their car broke down/their child is getting married/whatever.
