India in the World's EyesWharton's Singh feels foreign investors may view corruption inIndia "as the cost of doing business." But the country would attractmore foreign investments and business interest if it had a strongerreputation for being non-corrupt, he says. Investors are attractedto India because "there are not too many other options that areparticularly attractive ... but this can change rather quickly,

The 2G scandal is unlikely to hurt India's investment appeal

globally, according to Alok Shende, principal analyst and founderdirector of Ascentius Consulting. "Foreign investors may actuallyperceive the role of courts and rule of law, the role andindependence of the CAG and the will of the vernment to unearth

this scam as a positive attempt to spring-clean all that waswrong,"

Corrupted Administration Of IndiaIf we talk about the Administration of India we all must say it is not awell maintained or a well centralized Administration as comparison

to other Asian countries.

Poor Administration of India is just because of the poor politicalleaders of our country. They used to do some unofficial work for thesake of money, this makes Administration of India weaker. This isnot the only example which makes Administration of India affected

badly there are lots of other factors which makes it worse.
