Ironies of democracy as done in two of the largest democracies.
Democracy was defined by Abe Lincoln as, "For the people, of the people and by the people". US amended to make it, "For the business, of the business and by the business".

The current state of democracy in India is like, "Far (away) from the people, off from the people and ...buy the people".
Legislature, Executive, Judiciary and Press were supposed to be 4 pillars of democracy. -

But all the 4 have forgotten the key enablers of Democracy: People, who are responsible in reposing faith in their elected representatives by electing them and have done a splendid job. But the latter have generally been treated like dirt and with disdain.
Elected reps should not forget that it is people who voted them and shouldn't take them for granted. The arrogance of power can corrupt anyone. We are seeing in happen in many states. Unbridled, shameless display of power as if the elected reps are entitled to power.
Remember: The anger of people can scythe through any polity when they vote. Elected Reps be it Union Government or State Govt. should very well to remember that the Executive branch is the key to running democracy and if they are treated like shit by State Governments,
the GoI is sending a clear signal, that it "You for you, I for I, and Ram for all". Sorry it doesn't work out that way. There has to be perceptible, visible sign of support to honest officers.
