936 Mafias rule the world, and of course many Indian States like Andhra Pradesh!

It is a known fact that World Today is ruled by mafias of various kinds. Earlier, many countries of this world, used to be ruled by politicians through bureaucrats. Now, the countries are ruled by mafias of different varieties, through their proxies i.e. the politicians and the bureaucrats. Whatever be the reasons, this bitter truth should not hurt anybody. The degrees of intensity of the Impact of Mafia Decrees may vary. In some countries, we may have an illusion, that we are ruled by democratically elected people's representatives, who deliberate people's problems in Legislatures, make laws to ameliorate them, design and implement programs for creating and maintaining a Welfare State. Of course such hallucinations and deliriums do not harm our health. Had such delusions not been there, people might have been dead long back becoming ghosts and spirits, with nobody to vote in the Elections conducted by bureaucrats and politicians. Sometimes Business persons may mature into mafia leaders, and finally metamorph themselves into politicians and people's representatives, enabling themselves to make more laws, and issue more Executive orders.

After undergoing some excruciating agony, I have decided to prepare, as a sample, a list of ten mafias, which seem to be ruling the State of Andhra Pradesh in India. This list may not be accurate. It is a subjective perceptive view-point of ybrao-a-donkey, and are not intended to be imposed on my Readers.
