agreed - wish someone would have built a public works project around him, and built that road in a year instead of his entire life...

We are talking about a remote village in india's most corrupt region. He was lucky no government official asked for bribe.

Yep. Every person who knows India would find it incredible too until they see that it happened in Bihar.

It's sort of like Florida for Americans, except imagine that Florida was still under feudalism.

No analogy exist in the known western world. To do so would be an injustice to the word 'corruption'. In fact there is so much corruption in india, we should invent the new word for it, more like "Slow Cannibalism".

How about corrosion? It implies the society is being more or less eaten away by a corrupting influence.
