The game of elections in India

A game of money and muscle power to see who best traps the illiterate and uneducated simpletons.
We have one corrupt criminal politician playing against the other with the general population being the pawns.
The one who collects the most pawns wins the game.
The best way to collect these pawns is to efficiently use money to buy them or force to threaten them!
If one has to collect these pawns en masse, a third weapon in the armoury is to make them into blocks of vote banks rather than as individuals and then collect them through fear or money. The only way allowed to group them into blocks is to ironically divide them on the basis of caste, religion or language.
Welcome to the great Indian game of elections!
