DYNASTIC DEMOCRACY v/s MONARCHY

The fact that dynastic politics still exist in India .. makes me rethink about the whole democracy thing..maybe Indians do not deserve / want democracy.. sounds insulting right.. well it should because such is the state of affairs..
So so many are willingly ready to lay their loyalties in the feet of their leaders' families..also we all know that the person in power will definitely abuse his power (unless he is a bollywood hero) to get the best of stuff for his folk.. and yes lots of money..but why do we hate the idea of monarchy ??
the ruler attains power by hereditary.. then monarch abuse their power unhindered..he is not answerable to anyone for his actions
wat else ..he takes in money by taxes and lavishly spends it .. nothing else coming to my mind..oh he may not have the capability to rum the country.. well it's better if capabilities of our MPs and ministers are left unevaluated...
well what among these is different with democracy w.r.t India..inheritance is given .. too many examples ..
about abuse of power.. well believe u me there is not a crime that a politician will not get his folks off for...should someone ever dare to catch him..
about the money.. well there is limit to money one can spend.. but when you start hoarding ..there's no limit.. tat way politicians though may sometimes not be able to spend millions in public ..but end up siphoning off and hoarding billions .
Basically as i see it democracy is just a veil of respectability that the common man buys at a huge price to feel better !!
