A few tweaks to the phrasing and you’ve basically described all nation state behavior and the entire history of human attempts at “society”.

Power brokers control the activity and discourse of the populace. Ignore the rules for personal enrichment (the US Congress and others pass rules for us [ banning insider trading] but not them).

This isn’t just an India thing

Very true, most assuredly not just an India thing.(although perhaps India is a well known example)

The basic premise, stated another way, is that power tends to corrupt.
