The servants of the Maharaja were devoted and submissive. As a result of their fear of the Maharaja, the bulk of them tried to satisfy him by following his directions to preserve their employment or even their lives. Despite the astrologer's fear of predicting his demise, Maharaja had asked that he speak without restraint. Dewan, who ought to have advised the king against slaughtering the tigers, instead decided to encourage him in his engagement to a princess whose parent country was home to a sizable population of tigers. He feared losing his job, or to the maharaja's demands, he offered an aged tiger. Similar to this, out of concern for their careers, the hunters decided not to inform him of the 100th tiger's survival and instead killed it themselves.Even the shopkeeper who gave the king an inexpensive wooden toy tiger increased his price to avoid paying a fine for violating the emergency laws. As a result, rather than being motivated by a genuine love for their king, the king's servants were driven by fear. The political system of today is hardly an exception. We all know that many persons in positions of authority hold those positions not because they are competent but rather because of their influence and power. In addition, others court them for selfish reasons rather than the good of the nation.
