This article is about the classes lower on economical ladder where the education is expensive. In India in contrast, 1) education is not expensive, 2) has reservations for the classes considered lower on economical, caste/community, gender scales. So this conjecture does not hold true because of the ground realities. Scammers are criminal elements who want to make a quick buck like everywhere else in the World and there are plenty of options available for deserving candidates, based on talent, qualifications and relevant experience, and definitely not on their background.
So the underlying/fundamental UN doctrine and principles should somehow be different?
You should still be able to glean the overall UN position on similar practices.
Whether you intended or not; your comment came across slightly xenophobic. 2 out of 3 main points (UN stance, forced criminality) are on point and shouldn't change based on the geographic region. Your comment read as if you were offended that the same pointsfor SE Asia could ever apply to India.
I hope not though. Either way it's important to acknowledge higher(meta) level perspectives for what they actually say, not who they're about.
On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

I have no clue of it being a political issue in this particular instance. I would categorize it under Crime than Politics from the first paragraph I read.

If the purpose of HN is to find "Anything that good hackers would find interesting", this does not fit the bill.
Answering generally, the topic of police corruption being inherently political or not, isn't it too wide to speculate? Police forces and LEAs are established at multiple levels like City, State/Province, Nationwide. There are factors driving Police corruption from collective psyche of the population they are suppose to serve to the individual choices; from systemic endorsements to ancient traditions, how can one generalize in the scope of the entire World?
