Worm Within Presentation
India ranked 94th out of 175 countries in Transparency International's 2013 Corruption Perceptions Index. The document discusses two perspectives - economic and institutional - on corruption in India. It also examines how weak accountability institutions have led to the capture of the state by compliant officials and rent-seeking groups, spreading corruption throughout governance and hurting public welfare. The emerging middle class in India is confronting this reality and demanding assonance or harmony between the country's pillars of governance and accountability.
