As if Indians are dutifully paying their taxes. Hey, every year, the I-T department releases a list of the worst tax-offenders in India. Now, people in the US would think that the offenders ought to be ashamed. But in India, those named on the list are NOT ashamed. On the contrary, they are proud! It is a sort of "honor roll" out there. A friend tells me that if the I-T guys raid a house, the "prestige" of the family living in the house goes up! I mean they break the law, then they are exposed, and their stature goes up?! Go figure.
