Do you remember what was the punishment for not doing homework in school was. I do. Some teachers (not all) used to cane the students who did not do the home work.
Lets say I am a good student and finish homework everyday. But for some reason I *could* not do my homework (or just simply forgot) for one day. Would I want to get caned, no. So I copy/cheat whatever to submit it. Now the guy who did home work spent hours and I copied in minutes. So this exercise taught me that cheating is not too bad.
Now the real fault here is that *stupid* teacher who doesnt want to look at the picture but wants to punish every little mistake. And one thing I do remember about some teachers in my school was that they were a frustrated lot of people .
The whole thing starts from allegations on Raju@Satyam being dishonest -> Indians being dishonest. Be it at classroom or boardroom.
I think the systems in our country, schools, the way you have to find your way around govt offices, bribing and what not, are all quite twisted. And they do make an impact upon us. We do not really blame a dishonest man. A bribing official is accepted (nay, respected) in the society. We all know our politicians are the biggest crooks but we really dont mind. So do we really mind Raju here. I think not. If it were left to us as a closed system, we would let him continue. But what we really mind is the hurt it caused to indian corporations credibility in the global market. Other than that I think we are fine with it :-)
About the dishonesty, what I really found detestable is lab reports being forged in school and college to get a straight line. It immideately breaks all the foundations upon which science stands.
