That is what I feel is the curse of " democracy " in India.
It throws up a whole bunch of illiterates and nincompoops into local assemblies and parliament, who look at these new roles as a ticket to free meals for their families, in-laws and cronies. The whole concept why they are there is warped in their minds, and they feel the country owes them a life of luxury, the right to cream off the best wealth and the privilige to be immune from the law.
Come to think of it, there is so much that could have been done to help the country and prevent the mess it is in. Instead these elected representatives and their fossil views and decadent out of time thinking still run the country by using their sheer numbers to overwhelm the small number of competent and visionary leaders.
About the Indian bureacracy - It is a one huge cesspool of ego maniacs who think they own the cuntry and have the right to eat whatever the country produces without sharing with the 99% of the population.
That is the curse India is subjected to for nearly 60 years.
