To Santosh Helekar: a special Happy Corruption Free New Year 2006! Rajendra In response to Santosh post of 28th Dec: But let us stick to the criterion used by TI for a meaningful perceived change from the previous year of 0.3, and apply it to India. You will notice that nearly all of the jump in the index to 3.3 occurred from 2005 to 2006. In 2005 the CPI for India was 2.9. In 2006 it was 3.3. That is an increase of 0.4 from the previous year. So you would have to admit that the good news that I mentioned occurred in 2006. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW BOOK: 'PATRIOTISM IN ACTION: Goans in Indias Defence Services' Copies now available at: GOA: Literati (2277740), Other India (2263306), Broadway (6647038), Mandovi (2427904), Noel DSilva & Associates (9823120454 / 9096781714), Confidant / Golden Heart Emp (2732450), David & Co (2730326), Vardaan (9527463684) SERV / RETD Def Offrs in Goa: O/o Sainik Co-op Hse Bldg Sty, Def Col, Porvorim (2417288) MUMBAI: David & Co (22019010) PUNE: Manneys (26131683), Popular (25678327) BENGALURU: Narayan (22865800) DELHI: Ritana (24617278) ONLINE (worldwide delivery): http://www.ritanabooks.com, http://goa1556.goa-india.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
