India is on Top here for all the non-good reasons.
The billionplus population with a lot of un-employed youth asking for work, a lot of talent going waste just because of the corrupt government officials who do a preferential allotment, a merit has been denied to the deserving.
Corruption can be fatal to the nations growth and security.
Here is a news from rediff.com considered to be taken very seriously :
Indian companies have been perceived as one of the worst bribe-payers while engaging in business abroad, ranking along with firms in other BRIC countries - Russia and China - according to anti-corruption organisation Transparency International 2008 Bribe Payers Index, released on Tuesday.
Though India has improved its BPI score of 6.8 out of 10 this year compared to the last BPI survey in 2006, when it was ranked last with a score of 4.62, it still remains one of the five worst countries in the world, as bribery by emerging exporters is still on the high side. The lower the average score, higher the corruption.
"The BPI provides evidence that a number of companies from major exporting countries still use bribery to win business abroad, despite awareness of its damaging impact on corporate reputations and ordinary communities," said TI Chair Huguette Labelle in a press statement.
