Is saying truth a suckers game in our country

Doing business in India is funny business. People will say they will come in 10 minutes, and you can wait till infinity. They will say bus ho gaya , and it will never get done. I wonder whether sticking to the rules is a suckers game. Because, India only seems to be rewarding those who can are either large enough to break the rules, or small enough to creep through them. Had a small business with a friend, where neither he nor me is going to make any money out of the transaction ( so there are no interests involved) - but still people are so busy that they have no time for such transactions. Is it ignoring the other person, or it is selfishly being involved in one's own pursuits.

Plight of Indian students in Australia

SM Krishna visits Australia

August 10, 2009 by foreignstudies

With the recent spat of violence against Indian students, Indian Foreign Minister S M Krishna visited Australia and had discussions with his australian counterparts to check the growth of colleges with no facilities and poor educational infrastructure who are cheating indian students, in the name of foreign education. A case in point is Sterling College which has recently gone into receivership. New rules are coming up and we hope things get more streamlined and students dont get a raw deal.
