Sad that Indians are corrupt, says Dalai Lama

New Delhi, Sep 11, 2012 (PTI)

Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama today said it was a contradiction that Indians were indulging in "unethical" practises like corruption despite being religious-minded.

Indians are "highly religious-minded" and it is very sad that corruption is prevalent in this country, he said while denouncing the menace. "I recently went to Ladakh and someone told me for example if government gives them Rs 100, only Rs 20 reach them. Rest 80 per cent disappears. This is very sad. Indians are religious-minded people and they fear god," he said at a function at the Ramakrishna Mission here.

When poverty remains a major issue in the country, corruption is not acceptable and everyone should think on this count, he said.

"It is a big contradiction. On one hand they pray in the morning and through the day they do corruption. This is not done. When you deny god and deny spirituality then at least one can understand," he said.

It's not the ordinary mortals but the bloody politicians, bureaucrats and corporates who are looting the country and sucking it dry!

And considering that friend Windjammer has posted this to bash Indians with, he should turn his gaze toward the Pakistani politicians too, who are no angels from Heaven. And needless to say, let's not forget the huge recent NLC scam of billions that went into khaki pockets for which three erstwhile Pakistani generals are being court marshaled!
