For many years I have been intensively reading Indian literature written by Indians since the 1950's, including writers like R.K. Narayan and many other well known Indian writers up to the present day. I have also read many British authors' literature about India. In all of these books and stories, police corruption as you describe in your post are described as almost eternal aspects of Indian life. Because I am an American born in 1945 and have never visited India, I have always believed it would be insulting for me to comment on this constantly documented theme of official corruption and bribery in Indian life. I do not want your highly deserving efforts to improve life in India for Indians to go unremarked, as if nobody reading about these issues cares. I do care very much. Surely others must care as well. Maybe many people who are "outsiders" to India, as I am, also feel inhibited to comment on or criticize corruption in India. After all, because I have been a nurse and a lawyer in America, I know that lesser versions of this type of corruption exist in the United States, especially for poor and working class citizens of our country. I especially appreciate your efforts to educate Americans about microfinance abuses all over the world. It is something I did not really understand until I read your blogs. I will be trying to learn more about this subject and use the information to modify my own actions and to educate others. Thank you for your commitment to alleviating poverty and for attempting to advocate for social justice.Katherine Souder Gouldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38282176.post-32878929993696928532012-03-01T23:49:42.948-05:002012-03-01T23:49:42.948-05:00This post has been available for the past two mont...This post has been available for the past two months, and yet, no one has commented. There have been hundreds of page views in this time. I had thought that many people will be outraged at the behavior of police.Abraham M.
