Re: [IAC++] How Denmark has curbed corruption? c link

People in India have tried every means to eradicate corruption
without success, and now we have people like you who are there to
prevent the one method that works without even understanding it. Thank
you!
For your information, it is not religion that changes a nation, and
the countries you quoted are not even 'Christian'.
It is when people individually and collectively have a change of heart
that a nation changes, as it happened in Europe.
Repentance and turning away from corrupt practices go together, and it
is a matter of the person's heart as Arun Joshi correctly pointed out.
It is not about following rituals or religion!
