Prof. V. Ramanathan tries Game Theory to explain the propensity of Indians towards obnoxious behavior.
TED, Bangalore (March 2010)
Twelve severe aspects of "Indian-ness":
1. Low trustworthiness
2. Privately smart, publicly dumb
3. Fatalistic outlook - "what can I alone do?"...and the converse, "everybody is doing it, why shouldn't I?"
4. Too intelligent for our own good
5. Abysmal sense of public hygiene
6. Lack of self-regulation and a sense of fairness
7. Reluctance to penalize wrong conduct in others
8. Mistake talk for action
9. Deep rooted corruption and a flair for free-riding
10. Inability to implement or follow systems ("we will create systems but fail to implement it for any length of time")
11. Our sense of self-worth is massaged only if we have the authority to break rules
12. Propensity to look for loopholes
