India
a Democracy or an Authoritarian rule
(India to become Super Power No.1 in 2012)
India a Democracy:
You are building a house and require plans to be approved from the
housing authorities. Will the concerned clerk move your application
and get your plans sanctioned as per requirements? Not unless you
appease his requirements! On other hand, if you feel, it is the
duty of the concerned clerk to help you and for which the state
is paying his salary then, he may try to point out an anomaly in
the drawings or documents with which he has no concern, or else
come out with an excuse that he is busy and ask you to come another
day. If you dare question him about availability of his boss then,
glaring at you he may unhesitatingly say, "Boss is busy"!
In the circumstances,
can you expect building your house within a time frame before the
prices further escalate and you land up building an annexe instead
of a house. Unfortunately, if the clerk is not in a mood to clear
your papers then, does approaching his boss or trying any other
means using your influence help? The answer in nine out of ten cases
would be a "NO".
Are these symptoms of a healthy democracy? Then, what is the remedy?
You have been robbed in broad daylight of all your personnel belongings while
going to your office. When you present yourself at the complaint counter of the
concerned police station, is your complaint politely registered and you are assured
of early recovery of your goods? "No", on the contrary the concerned clerk may
refuse to record your complaint that it does not lie within their jurisdiction.
If you are
lucky enough to convince him that you have approached the right police station
then he may try to verbally assure you for early recovery of goods without lodging
your complaint. On other hand, if you insist on a written complaint then you may
have to face a salvo of uncivilized language asking you to approach anyone for
getting the same registered. If
you do have a saintly patron who uses his influence and gets the complaint recorded
then also, whatever complaint is recorded may be totally contrary to the statements
made by you. Can this wrongly registered complaint be got changed even by the
highest authority?
Can you expect Justice in the circumstances!
You are a government servant earning Rs. 4,000/= P.M. You are the proud Father
of three daughters. Your ambition is to build a house, marry your daughters and
after retirement lead a well settled Life. Will you be able to marry your daughters
within your means? Will you be able to pay for all the installments of a government
offered flat?
"No", then is it the society and its customs to blame?
Will you continue living without being able to enjoy Life in its human
form as bestowed on us by the creator. Still "No"! Then why not abandon
the old customs?
INDIA, the biggest democratic state of the World is beset with Three major problems.
Unless
eradicated or corrective measures taken, would lag far behind the smaller democracies
of the World, i.e. "Change from parliamentary to a presidential
system of Democracy" "Control in population through
effective birth control measures" "Strengthening
of the law and order system" Change from Parliamentary
to a Presidential System of Democracy
The
United States of America is the best example of a successful presidential system
of democracy and it has rightly taken the place of superpower number. The United
Kingdom which at one time ruled over half of the World and which gave India its
parliamentary system to follow has lost its control over most of the colonies
and has not turned out to be a very effective system.
India having a population of 900 Million compared to 250 Million of U.S.A. and
60 Millions of U.K. has not been able to make its presence effectively felt in
the International market compared to other successful Democracies of the World.
Should we not
switch over to the presidential system before it is too corrupt/failed political
system of ours, that we find its duly elected members of the Parliament and Legislative
Assembly are only to blame, barring few exceptions.
On the contrary, why has India not taken position number One ?
If you are
engaged in a government job or running a Business Establishment then, if you do
not enjoy the patronage of your Boss or Political leaders, can you expect promotions
or run your business smoothly and successfully! In the circumstances, can a society
in the present scientific age survive ... What to say of advancing the scientific
achievements.
How long shall we be ruled by people elected with sheer muscle power?
Control in Population through Effective Birth Control Measures
Can
you afford to pay for the Education of more than two children and simultaneously
fulfill the other requirements of the house hold? If you have three children you
may continue to survive but, what if, you have more than six or above? You would
be extremely lucky to be made incharge of family planning department or offered
a berth in the Cabinet.
Will the achievements in the field of TV, and the present pace of scientific development
taking place in the Audio & Visual gadgets now available within reach of above
middle class, reduce the present rate of increase in population? Whatever be the
increase of the per capita income, the same is offset, rather negated by the corresponding
increase in population.
Can India being a secular Country achieve this target by proper implementation
of birth control measures! Adoption of some harsh measures as being practiced
by China, Is it the solution? A person having 3 children and whose gross income
is Rs. 2,000/=, must he be punished compared to a person with the same size of
family and whose income is Rs. 5,000/= per month. Is the punishment by the creator
not sufficient.
Is punishment a healthy sign of a developing society? "No", as we are living
in a civilized World.
Implementation of well framed rules to contain the growth of population strictly
followed by the society at WILL - Is it not the only solution!
Stringent labor laws adversely effect the growth of a nation because the employer
finds himself at a loss when he has to Fire an unwilling worker. Are such workers
not a parasite in a developing society?
The labor laws should be amended to favor business establishments, but simultaneously
must not create hardships for the workmen. It is only the brains behind successful
enterprises which make the society and its working stable. Is there no hope for
a democracy with above fifteen percent population of the entire World!
Strengthening of the Law and Order System
The Law and Order situation
of the Country is alarming and calls for some concrete measures for improving
and bringing it at par compared with other democratic setups of the World. With
political interference at every stage, even the best officers are unable to carry
out their duties sincerely and effectively.
In U.K. and else where a small but disciplined police force is sufficient to handle
situations wherein many times over police personnel would be required in our Country.
Why? Sincere
and honest officers at the top with no interference at any stage from Political
quarters can bring about a radical change and improve upon the existing poor Law
and Order systems.
An honest and a respectable citizen as on date may not like to intermingle
with the custodians of law unless any pressing domestic situation so demands.
Why? Have the people lost Faith in them! Or are they indifferent towards the needs
of the society!!
Can an honest citizen pay for the attorneys fees and simultaneously expect Justice!
Always bearing in mind that, it may take anything between ten and odd years before
the case is finalized and then also he is not sure whether he will rightly win.
The answer in
the present context is a blunt "NO", barring few exceptions.
Indian Democracy vs. authoritarian rule what is a true democracy:
Where has our national pride gone!
Can we not have a controlled birth rate!
Can we not abolish dowry system from our society!!!
Can an effective Executive President totally devoted towards the nation
and supported by his team of selected Governors achieve the above targets and
take the nation towards prosperity!
Why not all of us search for the hidden soul!!!
It may be difficult
to point out as to who will take this coveted position but undoubtedly the future
president who would strive to change the system of governance of this Country
from parliamentary to presidential must have already been born!
According to Nostradamus
someone from the East would show the light to the ailing Humanity of today, to
steer the Country out of the present mess and make it Super Power number one.
Wait till 2005?
