Americans and British cannot come near us.

 "Were crucial minutes of TV footage during passage of the farm bills, as well as the Rajya Sabha rulebook, muted?" asked KTS Tulsi and Tanessa Puri. "The farm bills elicited a cacophony of voices", and "MPs demanded division. This was voiced at 1.09 pm on Rajya Sabha TV. But it never reached the public ear because footage was doctored to such an extent that it was muted." "Rajya Sabha proceedings are governed by the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the Council of States." "There is a clear violation of Rule 252 of the Rulebook." "While transparency is a cornerstone of democracy, today's India is cultivating secrecy. Paradoxically, this culture of secrecy is sometimes justified in the name of transparency," wrote Christophe Jaffrelot. In India politicians are for sale, wrote Sadanand Dhume. "In the Rajasthan crisis, newspapers speculate that the going price for a state legislator to switch parties ranges between Rs 15-25 crore, or $2.25 million to $3.75 million, a staggering sum in any country, but particularly so in one whose annual per capita hovers around $2100." Expressing "anguish" at "the growing lack of faith among many Indians in the functioning of the Supreme Court (SC)" and "a wider degradation of Indian democracy", historian Ramachandra Guha wrote, "Other (and possibly more serious) manifestations of this degradation are the politicisation of the civil service and the police; the creation of a cult of personality; the intimidation of the media; the use of tax and investigative agencies to harass and intimidate independent voices; the refusal to do away with repressive colonial era laws and instead the desire to strengthen them; and, not least, the undermining of Indian federalism by the steady whittling down of the powers of the states by the center." Why do people obey like sheep? Why does no one resign in protest? Because, then they stop being VIPs and lording over citizens, and cannot strut around with security details which are enormous status symbols. Judges have also made themselves into VIPs and consider it below their dignity to mix with the 'great unwashed'. A long list of people resigned from President Donald Trump's government because they did not agree with him. A total of 50 ministers resigned from former UK Prime Minister Theresa May's cabinet. Apparently, present UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson cannot afford a nanny for his new born baby and has to pay for his food from Downing Street kitchen. While millions of Indians face starvation and privation, we are proud owners two luxury airplanes at a cost of Rs 46.32 billion each which can fly as fast as Air Force One which carries Trump. Unlimited power and opulence without any accountability. Worth killing for.
