Reading between the lines, it seems clear that:
1. to become 5 star, you need to go into debt for some 10,000R, thus f***ing over the small business owner
2. the whole thing is a scam so that the gov't and its high level officials can receive bribes to not shut down <5 star bars (or elevate them to 5 stars.)
In any case, it seems like India continues to ensure corrupt business practices, and is taking a page from American operations, but in its case, the lobby and the gov't are one and the same.
Though, at first I thought you were referring to this[^] article.

Shhhh.... That is a secret.
For other link:
Emotional argument: India is a big country in terms of population and number of such crimes will always be high compared to any other country.
What I think: This sucks. I have no clue or credentials to even propose a solution. But this f***ing sucks. If I was a dictator in India, I would have killed them off my emotions.

It's typical me to spin off in a completely different direction from reading this article.
India has a very interesting numbering system with lakh, crore and arab for 105, 107 and 109 respectively.
Do you have any knowledge as to why it's different to most of the rest of the world in how you group your numbers by two instead of three? (except for the first group)
My google foo fails me at the moment.

It comes from Vedic Maths. It is little different from rest of the World.

Why would he want to? He's already got Smitha, and access to reasonably priced liquor; what more could any man want? Let Kerala go to hell in any way it chooses, our Nish is best off with us, here in the semi-sane world.

Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

...on a dilbert cartoon page: Dilbert archives[^]
Not even slightly relevant to the cartoon, it was: "I just calculated I drink my body mass in coffee every two months!"
And it got me thinking.
So...I weighed me, and I weighed a mug-full of water (I just finished the coffee that was in it). No point in telling you the weight, your mug is bigger or smaller...
Um. 50 days.
I drink my own body weight in coffee every 50 days...and I can't decide if that's good or bad!
How about you lot? How many days does it take you?

For a developer, that's like never touching Bacon, or Pizza!
That's almost grounds to revoke your CP membership!

Yeah, you have to restrict your dihydrogen monoxide intake.
But dehydrated versions[^] are available - they just taste like they look: dried, powdered, dog eggs.
