How would you describe the behaviour of the Maharaja’s minions towards him?

Do you find them truly sincere towards him or are they driven by fear when they obey him?

Do we find a similarity in today’s political order?

The Maharaja's minions or his servants are extremely submissive and obedient to his every command and order. This is mostly brought on by fear of the Maharaja's rage and so they obey him to save themselves from the death penalty and unemployment. The astrologer had hesitated while predicting in his death and the Dewan, who was his close advisor could not stop him from killing tigers, fearing his anger and arranged his marriage to a princess as per his wishes. Since he was afraid of losing his post, he even 'planted' an old tiger to pacify the King's anger and please him. Even the hunters of the King killed the old tiger in secret to preserve their means of livelihood. Finally, the shopkeeper, who sold the wooden tiger to the King declared a higher price to avoid punishment. Therefore. We can conclude that the servants of the King were always in constant fear of their ruler and had no feelings of devotion.

Today's political order is very similar to that of the past. Many people, nowadays, are occupying various positions of political power based solely on their influence and authority. They have almost little to no education or knowledge of politics but only assert their position on the basis of money, fame, and adopt corruptive practices to gain supporters and followers. Also, others flock to them for their own selfish interests and think little about eradicating the current public issues such as poverty, unemployment, pollution, illiteracy etc.
