So this monarchy is different. People now, they have taken to democracy. Democracy is also mentioned in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, that in the Kali-yuga there will be no more monarchy or the kingdom ruled by the kṣatriyas, but amongst the people who will be tricky, some way or other get the votes of the people, he will be seated on the throne. That is stated. Some way or other. So therefore people are in trouble because so many rascals, they somehow or other manage to get some vote and become the president and minister and . . . so what they know? They do not know how to govern, how to bring peace in the country. But this monarchy, Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, just see. Because for the sake of his personal interest so many people have been killed, he was sorry. Just see. Not that some way or other, you divide India: "Let me become Prime Minister, that's all." We have got political information that in India when it was . . . the proposal was for Partition, Gandhi was completely against this Partition. He said: "Better I will have no independence—still, I shall not allow the country to be divided." He was stubborn on this point. But he was absent, and in the meantime our the big prime minister signed it, agreed, Partition, because he wanted to be prime minister anyway, some way or other. "Let the country go to hell." This is politician, going on. Not . . .
