Nah, that wasnt on my mind, if i wanted to mean then then i would have written “dictator” or “army chief” instead of King

About your rest of the post, i wasnt chest thumping about our honest prime ministers. Its something very well accepted in India even by opposition parties. MM is however accused of keeping an closed eye against corruption of his coworkers but he himself is an honest man.

REgarding Modi, no one has ever accused him of corruption, not even kejriwal. Na joru na jaata, allah miyan se naata. He got no family, who will he collect money for? Same case with Atal ji.

Fair enough.

But corruption can take on many different shades. Its hard to believe that anyone can be totally clean in system that’s endemically corrupt. There is what is official and procedural, by the book etc. And then there is the wink-wink, hint-hint, this needs to get done so you scratch my back I scratch yours, lets be pragmatic way of doing things. I think its more accurate to say that working within a system where you know there is corruption means knowing how to play not only by the constitution, but also an unstated playbook which governs how certain things are done in reality.

And its not just India, Washington for example is famous for its realpolitic (if im using the term correctly.)
