“The recent scams involving unimaginably big amounts of money, such as the 2G spectrum scam, are well known.

It seems as if only the honest people are poor in India and want to get rid of their poverty by education, emigration to cities, and immigration, whereas all the corrupt ones, like Hasan Ali Khan are getting rich through scams and crime. It seems as if India is a rich country filled with poor people",[18] the organisers of Dandi March II in the United States said.
The Comptroller and Auditor General of India said, “As on March 31, 2010, unutilised committed external assistance was of the order of Rs.1,05,339 crore.”

Transparency International estimates that truckers pay US$5 billion in bribes annually. In 2010 India was ranked 55th out of 178 countries in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index.
