I didn't know. Is it the ranking on transparency.org?
India is less corrupted than Thailand according to this index. Given that I never got "arrested" in (South) India and didn't have to pay foreigner prices (I think) it matches my experience.
From ChatGPT:
India is ranked moderately in terms of corruption. According to the 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) by Transparency International, India scored 40 out of 100 (where 0 is highly corrupt and 100 is very clean) and ranked 85th out of 180 countries.
Corruption in India: Key Aspects
1. Areas of Concern:
• Bribery: Common in sectors like real estate, healthcare, education, and law enforcement.
• Cronyism: Influence of wealthy individuals or corporations on political and policymaking processes.
• Public Services: Corruption can be pervasive in accessing government services, including land registration, electricity, and water supply.
2. Anti-Corruption Efforts:
• Laws like the Prevention of Corruption Act (PCA) aim to combat corruption.
• Digital initiatives like Direct Benefit Transfers (DBT) and e-Governance platforms reduce opportunities for middlemen and corruption.
• Institutions like the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) oversee anti-corruption measures.
3. Recent Challenges:
• Corruption in state-level projects and local governance.
• Concerns over lack of enforcement against powerful individuals or entities.
While India is making strides in combating corruption, systemic issues and enforcement gaps remain persistent challenges. Would you like details on specific cases or reforms?

I see, it is better than I thought actually. Maybe we can add roughly 5-10 points for the Southern part and decrease by 5-10 for the Northern part. That would make South India on par with Malaysia.
