Severe flaws in the governance system

The mantra of politics, it is increasingly being realised, does not appear to be the spirit of freedom and equality.

I want to take a very worldly approach to discuss the two basic components of politics—system and agency. This is a subject for the political scientists, philosophers or academicians who have spent the best part of their lives teaching them. I belong to none of these categories. As a teacher and writer of literature, arts, performance studies or theatre, my focus is always on what is simpler than the other approach.
