Abstract
A great deal of research has been done on corruption in India in the transactional sense where money changes hands in anticipation of favours, or for favours already rendered. However, not much attention is paid to the more insidious form of corruption known as regime corruption. Defining a ‘regime’ as the entire political and constitutive system, this article focuses on regime corruption in India where politicians use, or abuse, the political, legal and constitutional systems for partisan and personal gain. Tolerance of this kind of abuse may be attributed to the Hindu social system, transient governments, and the political parties and their leaders. This article contends that a constitutional government is preferable to popular government, as argued by both the ancient and modern writers.
