The truth is the other way round. Money rules. Mafia rules. Muscle power rules. Merit is often ignored and suppressed by money, mafia and muscle power.

It's true that dominance of money over merit is a reality but I firmly believe ultimately merit would have the final say! No society can do without merit and if it does so,it doing it to its own destruction!
