"Indians mock their corrupt politicians relentlessly, but they……" — Aravind Adiga
"Indians mock their corrupt politicians relentlessly, but they regard their honest politicians with silent suspicion.

It is a cliche that honest politicians in India tend to have dishonest sons, who collect money from people seeking an audience with Dad."
