At the same time, if you really draw parallels, we are going the same way as the American society / system. Well connected people lead double lives. They say one thing do another. These people occupy positions in business and government interchangeably. That blurs the ethical divide between the two. That is the approach India is embracing surely.

Thus if you are well connected, you can get away with minimal damage.

Having said so, it seems that as a country, India will prosper, do very well economically etc. etc. But will it be a country free of visible corruption, nepotism? Will it ever become a country where the rule of law holds to be true and same for everybody? Perhaps never. So if you want to make a lot of money, go to India / U.S. But if you value the finer aspects of life, go somewhere else.

Certain countries and their people are traditionally known to put society before their individual ends. What you point to in your article can be expected in those countries, not in India. Maybe, because they have a homogenous population.
