Two months ago, at the peak of the 'Tatra gate'/COAS versus MOD imbroglio, I had attempted an analytical understanding of corruption in defence procurements- 'why' does it occur and what is special about it, 'where' does it occur and 'how' does it occur. Some of those arguments need reiteration and some further peculiarities of the Indian Defence establishment need to be highlighted because corruption is so deeply embedded in the very architecture of the establishment that only a radical redesign can offer a way out.
