Ideally in a democracy citizen is the king. Swaraj is his birth right. A civil servant is no more than a servant and a police officer is no more than a watchman. A leader is just a representative of the citizen and no more than a clerk managing the finances of his boss, the common person of the town. A clerk in the municipality would never in his wildest dreams ever think about extorting money for a death certificate or a birth certificate by putting up a middle man like some owner of a photocoping shop outside the municipal committee office. The Patwari would behave just like a lower division clerk and so on. Afterall the citizen pays them from his pocket. Red tapism would become extinct. Genuine work would be as simple as withdrawing money from an ATM. We the citizens of the country should strive persistently to achieve an ideal swaraj. It might be difficult but not impossible.
