BUREAUCRACY VERSUS AUTOCRACY

No country’s history makes us proud.

It is mere exploitation and colonization.

the poor were suppressed and oppressed.

The rich reveled in utmost luxury

And the weak lived in extreme penury.

The kings were fond of eulogy

And the poets excelled themselves in their elegy.

 

In the countries like India, the money was looted

the temples were plundered, and the system was blundered

And her progress was greatly hindered

Slowly the kings and kingdoms vanished

the so called democracies and socialism flourished

the bureaucracy and plutocracy replaced autocracy

Corruption and criminality maintained their status quo

 

After Independence, a new class emerged in India.

They became the rulers in the name of democracy.

There have been un-imaginable scandals

Money reached the Swiss bank like pearls in the ocean

India is a poor country but the Indians are rich
