i actually tend to disagree/agree with both the views. Corruption is prelevant in all countries and i find it hard to believe that they can obtain a reliable to measure the same. My view is that a lot of places corruption happens without degrading the quality of the work...like the ring roads in moscow...might be that taxpayers money is being thrown out to bigger corporations whereas cheaper alternatives are possible. But the quality of the output is pretty good but in india, quality takes a hit because of corruption and so, it is highly visible and difficult to live through.
