Why is power concentrated in the hands of a few?

Because of our ignorance. "The concentration of power and the subjection of individuals will increase amongst democratic nations... in the same proportion as their ignorance." - Alexis de Tocqueville.

Why should you know about the way it works?

A popular Government without popular information is a Farce or a Tragedy or both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who want to be their own Governors must equip themselves with the power that knowledge gives. - James Madison (Paraphrased)

If citizens are to govern their own affairs, either directly or through representative government, they must be informed about how best to determine their affairs and how best to represent and execute them. - James Madison

A little about me

Hi! I’m Tina. I’m an Interested Indian. When I got a bit interested in the happenings of the world and India, I realised that I knew very little about the basics. And when I tried to learn the basics, I saw that there were very few online resources for simple learning. So I created these mind maps and simple notes for easy understanding of political concepts, especially in the Indian context. I’m not an expert. I’m a learner like you. Write to me
