staff slaps, kicks, abuses a Founding member & Parliamentarian . . .?

Democracy is not merely a form of government. 

It is primarily a mode of associated living.

A mode of conjoint communicated experience.

It's essence is an attitude of respect and reverence, towards our fellow men.

Shauraseni Prakrit

In the 2nd century BCE, it was probably, a spoken vernacular, in the ancient state of Surasena.  

Among all the Prakrits, it is most closely related to the Classical Sanskrit.

It is derived from the Old Indo Aryan dialect of Madhyadesha, on which Classical Sanskrit was mainly based.  

It's descedents include languages of the Hindi belt, Central Zone of modern Indo-Aryan or Hindi languages, standard registers of the Hindustani language based on the Delhi dialect.

Dynasty and a parrot-like tree

King Brahmadatta of Kashi was fed up with his four sons, each one of whom seemed more doltish than the other.  

They were getting into their teens, but still fought like babies and paid not attention to their teachers; unaware of their duties as princes of the realm.

Looking a the foolish faces of his stupid sons, the king suffered a tiny pang for what he was about to do. But knew very well that his duty as king, came first.

"They have demolished 15 to 20 ancient temples and numerous idols. Modi and Yogi are not Hindus. They are worse than Aurangazeb," said Swami Avimukteswaranand, one of the disciples of Sancaracharya Swarupanand Saraswati. 

"Not just temples, they have destroyed idols. They are barbaric", said a man at the pan shop. 

"Modi and Yogi are no less than Raakshas - demons-", said another. 

"They have destroyed the culture of Kashi. Now, Kashi will destroy them, in elections", said Yadav, a Banarasi panwallah.
