Just curious, could you elaborate on how and why this has occurred? (Moving away from a bribing culture, I mean.)
Also, do you think other countries could do the same thing?
I have anecdotal reports, from members of my family who used to work in law, that a couple of decades ago buying and selling real estate, for example, required a lot of palm-greasing. Maybe due to pressures from the industry this is not true right now in the big cities (I rarely go to the countryside, so I don't know how things are over there, although in brazil the coutnryside tends to move more slowly).
It seems, however, that even at its peak Brazil never had as bad a bribing culture as India seems to have, from the news.
All of the bribing I hear about these days are teenagers and young adults bribing cops to overlook possession of small amounts of drugs (and also some very high profile cases in the government), but bribing to get things you should have by right is something I or anyone I know in my generation has never had to do.
