There is a hue and cry, in India, that the bribe giver should be given amnesty because he is the victim of the exercise. It is not the entire picture. This small-time bribery where the official asks for a few hundred or a few thousand for the work to be done. The bribe giver is a victim here. It is rampant all across the country but still, it is the tip of the iceberg.
Real bribery is when a company, small or big, offers huge money to corner a mine or a gasfield or dam project at a throwaway price. Ministers are always involved in these deals. The Prime Minister could not be in the dark either. Who is the victim here? All these people deserve extreme punishment. Leave alone amnesty.
