India

I can only speculate since I have never been there and haven't read much on the subject and worse did not have discussions on India when I worked with and was friends with some people from there. But my guess would be that India is still under developed because there are a billion people. It seems to me it would take a long time and much effort to bring a very large population from under developed to developed and basically they have only had since the end of World War II. As far as corruption goes, that is even harder to answer but I would think that corruption is more likely when under development exists. Going along with all of this is that there appears to be very strong cultural traditions which while being a good thing from one point of view, it can also slow the pace of change considerably, or at least that seems a possibility to me.
