Hong Kong, today one of the least corrupt places, was a few decades ago one of the MOST corrupt. What changed? They set up an independent commission to investigate and prosecute corruption and made it independent of most of government. Things were dicey for a while, but eventually corruption all but disappeared in daily life. The United States has as one of its founding principles that powers must be separated, so here if you do take a bribe, there are multiple independent agencies that can come after you, and most importantly, send you to jail and take away your ill-gotten wealth. This simply doesn't exist with equivalent force in India. Oh, btw, please spare me the bs about Anglo-Saxon moral superiority. The history of India and indeed the world is replete with so many broken Anglo-Saxon promises that this is simply a joke. There's a reason it's called "perfidious Albion".
