Alas, the 'jugadification' of India, in the face of fickle extractive governance systems (incl. the current one) over from the past 1000 years, has led to a situation where rules are essentially seen as another imperial imposition, meant simply to be overcome, either by hook or crook.
Not that I blame them - the Indian constitution itself is almost entirely based on the Govt. of India act, which at the time was meant to 'seal' India's fate as an imperial plunder house (unlike those with White settlers). It shows too - reading the case judgments, even those of the Supreme Court in Delhi, just shows how alien these systems truly are in India (even after this many years). Of course the fact that it's all done in his master's 'imperial tongue', doesn't help.
