Your Bribe, Should You Choose to Accept It
In the secret language of corruption in India, an official expecting a bribe will ask for Mahatma Gandhi to “smile” at him. The revered leader of the independence movement is on all denominations of rupee notes.
With rampant dishonesty ingrained in the bureaucratic culture, an anticorruption group has decided to interpret the euphemism literally by issuing a zero-rupee note.
From the Times Online, “Can this note stamp out corruption in a land where it’s the norm?” Image from India Watch. I forget who sent me the link, sorry!
Guilty.
