I’ll suggest that Indian oligarchy also needs a pass from an “intellectual” aristocracy. As long as current “intellectual” aristocracy approves, oligarchy can get away with anything.

Perhaps but the pattern of dynastic rule remains. All Indian parties are more or less family franchises.

Absolutely. But knowing the culture more, you see that a shady “intellectual” claiming to know better is the source of legitimacy for the government.

Before Gandhi, neither the congress nor the British were popularly legitimate. Mughals sponsored an entire set of intellectuals to translate ancient Hindu works to Persian and other languages. Even today, the anti Hindu caste warriors rely on a Dr Ambedkar to be the source of their intellectual credibility.

Part of the reason why the BJP has failed to maneuver better is because it is still seen as a party without an “intellectual” backing
