- linux_devil 13y agoI pay tax in India but I am happy for this mission but it causes more pain when my money goes into the pockets of corrupt politicians. It's not the country which is poor, it's the corrupt politicians and bureaucracy. Refer to list of Indian scams : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scandals_in_India http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scandals_in_India , now annual scam every year is worth $20 billion , I wonder why people are not criticizing the administration and corruption but ISRO.
- bayesianhorse 13y agoThe problem is not so much that countries like India do not have honest, competent politicians, but rather how to tell them apart. Fighting corruption needs transparency and a system that prevents corruption rather than punishing it.
