Letters: Against corruption

This refers to the editorial “Name and shame, Mr Tata” (November 17). Mr Tata was asked to pay a bribe to start an airline company. He refused, foregoing the opportunity rather than pay bribe.

Many other businessmen who get such an opportunity simply choose to pay the bribe. If all businessmen stood up, corruption would be history.

Does Business Standard want Mr Tata to play martyr — why should he? I would like to see him and his group live long and do countless good acts as they have done in the past.
