The desi capacity to steal is amazing. From the lowly peon and his "baksheesh" to the IAS babus "benami" properties to the Netajee's "small country GDP" like wealth, we are experts in stealing. Americans as rich as they are, have far less money deposited in Swiss Banks and other tax havens. The Germans have given the names of 800 such thieves. The intrepid and Indian govt. has proceeded against 50 or so and punished only 18. The aam aadmi wants to know why a small time crook who steals little gets punished severely and even gets beaten up by the local police while these high profile crooks, do not spend a day in jail!!!
