Yep. What's interesting is that this bloated bureaucracy is the result of the country being an electoral democracy embedded with every "equity" intervention possible. With the ridiculous levels of population and heterogeneity within it, and with the majority of the population being intellectually poor, it was evident that the dominating part of the administration's energy is spent in appeasing voters' sentiments in place of competently executing good policies. India is the prime example of what happens when a country gets democracy at a stage when it's not prepared for it.

There is a famous quote attributed to some post-Independence India bureaucrat that I forgot the name of, which went something like "if we are to prioritize efficiency against representation, we might as well have just accepted British rule." India had to choose between strong economic development or plebeian representation, and it chose the latter. This is the consequence.
