Abstract
ABSTRACT This article is a reflection on the “Indian” angle of South Africa’s “state capture” scandal. I argue that it is the Indian-born Gupta brothers – rather than Presidents Trump or Zuma – who offer us a model for a new kind of comparative inquiry that maps emerging geographies of corruption, power, and influence.
