Graft, factored in the India of yore
Instead, the country's old image of inefficient bureaucracy, poor infrastructure, graft and squalor has once again been broadcast around the world, and local media have tagged the event India's "Shame Games".
"We believe tourism will not suffer much, since tourists who visit India have mostly factored in the India of yore, with snake charmers, and its dirt," said Robinder Sachdev, president of Indian image consultancy Imagindia.
"But large-scale business and investment decisions in boardrooms will certainly be impacted by this colossal display of ineptitude."
