The problem with @INCIndia policy makers is that they created monster systems and thought that they will remain benign.
But they became a tool of oppression, surveillance and subjugation at the hands of a tyrant regime whether it is Aadhaar, UAPA, NIA, etc.

The arrogance of power made many of the ruling elite in UPA-2 made them stop listening to the dissenting voices, which is the most essential requirement in a democracy to weigh & view the facets they don't consider.
They let Nilekkanni type brokers to have a say on many policies

Many States concede their space of legislative space to the Centre for either in the name of a more superior structure or mere an apex organisation is better.

What I see mostly is that in many State subjects almost all of the States fail to equip their bureaucrats/technocrats with national/international exposure.
So these people remain as parochial & frogs in that proverbial well.

If you take health also, how many States directly deal with international institutions?
Do States have any think tanks on their legislative domain?

We are simply transferring the problem to a Babu sitting in Delhi rather than solving it in your own State or decentralise it to your 3 tier system.
This over centralisation in the name of superior/national became a normal!

Don't blame the politicians, it is we who stopped demanding Governance and started to fall for some gimmicks and greed.
No one cared about competitive systems which will really deliver on the ground and improve the society and uplift it.
We are parochial & short sighted.

Most of the checks and balances cave in when tyranny started dictating.
If you are a student of history, you can easily grapple this sad truth.

Recollect how AAPians justify Kejriwal pervasive video surveillance ideas!
