And if bribing had actually worked, I highly doubt Americans and Europeans are all that averse to bribing foreign governments whenever it is to their advantage. They only whine when even that is unlikely to work, as is the case here.

If by “small mom and pop shops” you mean an almost feudal system of allowing near monopoly power.

Internet “cafes” ran into problems with families who figured that they had the exclusive right to run cafes in that area, even if the internet “cafe” didn’t serve coffee or tea or beverages of any kind.

Grant of monopoly power excluding competition barring a large enough bribe to the right government official is one F’d up way to run an economy.

Wonder if they will allow Indian males to gang rape innocent females while inside an Indian IKEA?

sorry, but that is making light of the Delhi tragedy.

Such incidents happen in Sweden perpetrated by Swedish males as well.

Also note that this has caused a real outcry in India -- if it were not progressing, this would have been ignored
