It's difficult to call Madhava's work calculus as we know it. He and his school certainly made huge contributions to analysis of infinite series, but they did not develop that into a unifying framework. It's important to note that no mathematics is done in a vacuum, if Newton/Leibniz "invented" Calculus, it's by building on top of hundreds of years of work done throughout the world.

>Why should so few individuals have outsized social, political and economic power over the whole country?

You just answered the question. Because they are the elected representatives. If you didn't trust them, why did you elect them in the first place?
