Oli-garchy में 'ओनली घर की सरकार' सुनिए। जब एक ही घर के गिने-चुने लोग पूरा देश चलाएँ, वही oligarchy है — थोड़े लोगों का शासन।

Hear 'only ghar ki sarkar' (only one household's government) in OLI-GARCHY. When a few people from one house run the whole country, that is an oligarchy — rule by a small group.
