Article Title: Robbing banks, the new way
Article Summary
The writer here says how robbing the banks these days have become easy.
His way of putting this across through this article is amazing. You are sure to enjoy this piece of reading.

The writer goes on to say how India’s position has moved down to two places from 79 to 81 in the Transparency International’s Global Corruption Perception Index 2017. He ends up on a sarcastic tone by saying that “So much pride we take in being an economic super power”
