I happened to browse through this book recently. The author puts forward the following about Indians' behavior :
1. low trustworthiness
2. being privately smart and publicly dumb
3. fatalist outlook
4. being too intelligent for our own good
5. abysmal sense of public hygiene
6. lack of self-regulation and sense of fairness
7. reluctance to penalise wrong conduct in others
8. mistaking talk for action
9. deep-rooted corruption and a flair for free-riding
10. inability to follow or implement systems
11. a sense of self-worth that is massaged only if we have the ‘authority’ to break rules
12. propensity to look for loop holes in laws
It will be interesting to read this book. I promise to read and give my impressions.....
