1. India is suffering in party politics

    The same thing. The parliamentary members… Just like nowadays, party. India is suffering in party politics. And they did not like to give importance to monarchy. They wanted to rule according to their whims, and therefore the whole scheme failed. The so-called democracy under party politics is nonsense. This democracy is the government of the asses, because the population are asses and they vote another ass to be head of the government.
