Ramdev, an eccentric saffron-robed holy man with a yoga empire that spans the globe, began a protest in New Delhi last Thursday demanding the government do more to repatriate illicit money stashed by Indians in foreign accounts.” [Yes, collecting more taxes for the state will surely reduce the amount of corruption in the world.]
