&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;We must change the parameters we use to judge the &amp;quot;productivity&amp;quot; of parliament.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;My first few days in the Rajya Sabha were tumultuous enough to realise that classics like Erskine May&amp;rsquo;s Parliamentary Practice, the bible of Westminster, would really have to be &amp;lsquo;tropicalised&amp;rsquo; a lot to adjust to the gross realities of the world&amp;rsquo;s largest and beleaguered democracy. The small endoscopic view of parliament&amp;rsquo;s functioning also leads to the belief that it has more to fear from those who have utilised its electoral facilities to seize power than from external dangers that the regime periodically projects, to augment its hegemonic measures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The matter gets more complicated because the educated Indian, liberal or otherwise, has been house-trained into believing that the one and only acceptable model is where eloquent debates are conducted in clipped Oxbridge accents, as shown on BBC. Many friends who represent, perhaps, a large section of the powerful educated elite of Hindustan have, therefore, made it clear that they consider the Indian opposition&amp;rsquo;s current protests in &amp;ldquo;the well of the house&amp;rdquo; to be quite appalling. The nation has to bear a huge cost for each day of parliament, we are told, and disruptions affect the &amp;lsquo;productivity&amp;rsquo; of parliament. This view is sadly reminiscent of the &amp;lsquo;return on investment&amp;rsquo; calculation that works neither with god nor with government, and parliament is not really a factory assembly line that counts &amp;ldquo;so many bills in, so many bills passed&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

Baptism Through Disruptions: Parliamentary Practice in a Democracy Under Siege -Jawhar Sircar

-TheWire.in We must change the parameters we use to judge the "productivity" of parliament. My first few days in the Rajya Sabha were tumultuous enough to realise that classics like Erskine May’s Parliamentary Practice, the bible of Westminster, would really have to be ‘tropicalised’ a lot to adjust to the gross realities of the world’s largest and beleaguered democracy. The small endoscopic view of parliament’s functioning also leads to the belief that it has more to fear from those who have utilised its electoral facilities to seize power than from external dangers that the regime periodically projects, to augment its hegemonic measures. The matter gets more complicated because the educated Indian, liberal or otherwise, has been house-trained into believing that the one and only acceptable model is where eloquent debates are conducted in clipped Oxbridge accents, as shown on BBC. Many friends who represent, perhaps, a large section of the powerful educated elite of Hindustan have, therefore, made it clear that they consider the Indian opposition’s current protests in “the well of the house” to be quite appalling. The nation has to bear a huge cost for each day of parliament, we are told, and disruptions affect the ‘productivity’ of parliament. This view is sadly reminiscent of the ‘return on investment’ calculation that works neither with god nor with government, and parliament is not really a factory assembly line that counts “so many bills in, so many bills passed”.
