Indian Politics
We Indians love being told what to do. From birth we are told what to do ... "beta papa bolo, bolo mamma", "walk baby walk", "study", "don't do that!", "get married now", "time to have kids". We are brought up on false beliefs that there will be time to do all fun stuff "when you grow up" ... yeah, right!
Most of us suffer from the psychological problem of being lost when there is nobody to tell us what to do next. We feel confused if there is no "plan" ahead of us. While most of us become scared ninnies and preys in this experiment going on for centuries, the rest of us become predators. They thrive on the surge of power they have when they can tell someone to do or not do something ... and that's where it all goes wrong! Things get out of hand. The dominant ones turn into bullies and end up using physical force when someone "disobeys" them.
Politics plays an upper hand. It recruits these bullies. The bullies have nothing to lose as it is the power surge and power surge alone that keeps them going. The bullies in fact are as vulnerable as the rest of us. Take out their leader and instructor and they are like a bunch of monkeys who wouldn't know which branch they are jumping to on hearing a gunshot.
... and so we have a great system where the higher power feeds the lower power and the lower power survives on the false premise that they are all powerful.
