Re: Corruption at all time high under dictator...
summary?
Pakistan was 11th last in 1998 and became worse (7th last) in 1999 even when 14 more countries were added in the list. It didn't change in 2001. In 2002 11 more countries were added and Pakistan "improved" the ranking to 11th last. In 2003 31 more countries were added but Pakistan's ranking unfortunately remained same. In 2004, 2005, 2006 situation got even worse when more countries were being added to the list and Pakistan's ranking was still getting worse. In 2007 Pakistan "resumed" its 11th last position but this time there were 179 countries in the list. All this while India maintained its position i.e. 12th (hovering around closely) and in last 2 years it "jumped" its ranking to 22nd.
I have said it before and will repeat it again. "Mega" economic success will only make some people rich, some people richer but without justice, law enforcement we cannot really progress. India despite its economic boom/industrialization for so long couldn't improve its ranking by a good measure.
