We often see that the head of a government is respected and even revered; the common citizens who elected the head are ignored as if they never existed except at elections, if there are any. </p><p></p><p>This is so even though in democratic institutions all power emerges from <em>We the People</em>.

They were splashing water eastwards towards the rising sun and were horrified at Guru Nanak’s behavior. The Guru’s answer that he was trying to water his fields that lay only about 150 miles west was derided. Why? Because it contrasted with their assertion that water was to be splashed towards the rising sun.
