With regard to the swamp that the Indian judiciary finds itself, if what Aires Rodrigues says is true and having read about it over the years I have little doubt it is, then with the last bastion of democracy - the judiciary - teetering over the brink, an ill wind blows over India that bodes no good.
More than a decade ago I recall the headlines of a retired Supreme Court judge making a public statement to the effect that fully 40% of all judges in India were corrupt. With corruption steadily progressing since then, one can only imagine the number now.
