I heard from a credible source that donations from Bill Gates do not come without strings attached. So however philanthropic he may seem, his motives are questionable.
Donations from business people are always with some strings attached. However, there are visible differences if you compare the level of philanthropy and morality between the NA Business tycoons and Indian business tycoons.
What Meghal says is 100% correct, except this is true everywhere else including Canada.

This was quite evident in India when I visited this time. It doesn't matter where some one is engaged in any sort of illegitimate business, as long as he has money and power, he is well (very well) regarded in the society. This obviously encourages corruption and crime at a big level even among youngsters..
We aren't that from the days smugglers were considered heroes.

You have nailed it !!!!! Corruption in India is getting glamorous and socially acceptable. Everyone wants to make it big - by hook or by crook.
Somebody does not understand what was said by meghal correctly and converts this thread into a Anti Gujrati thread..
We have had Anti Punjabi, Anti Maharashtrian threads in the past.. Lets keep adding to the list.
