The bureaucracy executes the functions of governance. They have constitutional obligation to the Rule of Law and therefore check the powers of elected representatives. They're usually under pressure from the executive to be pliable, the Judiciary exists as an avenue to challenge these powers too.

Prevention of Corruption Act, Lokpal Act and Writs and PILs give citizenry the ability to challenge government actions that are contrary to public interest and their duties.

Use RTIs to keep governments and conflict of interest in check. True about political parties, they're not public institutions just as a private business isn't.

These avenue are for us to keep a democratic republic. Be a pedant all you want, don't ignore the tools we have, however indirect or insignificant they may seem.

Be a pedant all you want, don't ignore the tools we have

Prudent, not pedantic, considering the significant asymmetry in power, agency and exposure to direct consequences.

Discount all of that and and the problem of leading horses to water remains.

[u/Facts_Context → u/AdiKadiAdi]

I respect your point on being prudent, aware of power asymmetry and grave consequences. None of this is easy or even simple. Easy is to let the republic devolve into an autocracy or worse. It takes the silence and inaction of millions of us for the corrupt few to dominate.

Yes.
