India we don't even have an idea how much power the Supreme Court has usurped. A Supreme Court which is *not* appointed by people's representatives, which can hear *direct* PILs from individuals, even bail petitions, have veto power on the country is unprecedented.

Supreme Courts are appellate courts, which can only hear appeals from lower courts, and only on Constitutional questions,

Indian Supreme Court is like a colonial raja, can decide anything, give orders, make up laws.

This kind of power to the Supreme Court exists unchallenged because it suits an FCRA ecosystem and foreign-power nexus for the Court to hold complete veto power over Indians. Makes people powerless. Again, NO other democracy in the world gives a Supreme Court this kind of power.
