India has long lived with the remnants of a feudal system which is in total opposition to the democratic system in the civilized world. Our members of Parliament and ministers behave more or less like the privileged members of the royal families of the past, demanding special privileges and preferential treatment.

All he gets is his salary. Will members of Parliament look to the civilized world for inspiration?
