"Any theory which contradicts the theories of US or UK are always treated as a secondary. However it's true that contradictions and complains can never be the mainstream idea but here I am talking about the conspiracy against the third world nations"

| Ending Democracy! |
As
India grew up after independence with self opted democracy, it witnessed that
democracy is not the full justified method of public governance. It has many
pot holes which are more than sufficient to let the injustice, suffering and
corruption endure in the political and corporate theatres of India.
Viewing the current world order where USA is
persuading Persian Countries like Egypt and Syria to adopt democracy and promoting
democracy in Myanmar. It indicates the extended interest of USA by installing
democracy in nations where US has economic benefits. Macroscopically, if we
look at the constitution of Commonwealth Nations, the whole idea to qualify for
the membership of CW nations is to be democratic in nature of governance.
Common wealth nations are those nations who have been the colonies of Britain
in the past. Why these capitalistic giants like USA and UK are forcing
democracy in the third world? is it really just because they are democratic, they want us to
be democratic too? I do not consume this fact. To get the real answer let's find what difference exists in the democracy they have and what we have!
1. Why
countries of capitalistic economy are forcing democracy in every country where
they have business interests?
Any theory in contradiction to US and UK is always
treated as a secondary theory. However it's true that contradiction
and complains are never the mainstream idea of analysis but here I am talking
about the conspiracy against the third world nations. This theory must be
treated as mainstream idea. Democracy is the slowest process of governance
where the scope of doubt always exists. Capitalism is the game of wealth in
which the most wealthy gets the benefits of doubts. In any country
where capitalism and democracy co-exists, policies are always pro-profit.
2. Why
China observed shining growth despite of being non-transparent in the
nature of governance?
In a country which begin its sovereign
development in the second half of 20th century with a mindset 'power is only in
the barrel of gun'. It's quite natural that this country is not interested in
sharing of power with anyone less competent to fight. China adopted communism
of Karl Marx. They polished it with Mao-Tse Tung's leadership in sixth decade
of 20th century. They never rested upon the power of unity in diversity.
In-short they never accepted democracy. It kept their decision making fast, on
time and confident. Today China is polarizing the world's power.
However a large chunk of Chinese population is not satisfied with its governance.
It's only a version of dictatorship that rules China. But USA is worried of rising power that China is... However due to its capitalistic interest US is a silent observer of whatever is
happening in south central Asia. China is the king of south-central Asia with
many anthropological benefits.
3. Why
India is not able to respond to its administrative needs despite of being rich
in minerals and natural resources?
World's seventh largest in size and second largest in
population is not something to be handled the way it is being handled by the
policy makers of India. It certainly is not something which can, shamelessly, be
declared as 'not ready to adopt' social hysteria which exists in India. Policy
makers feel that 'not ready to adopt' is the reason India is not developing. But in my theory it is the Indian definition of democracy which has to be
blamed. It is more complex than that of any other country! With
multiparty elections, by-elections and double-house parliament. It is only
a museum of amusement for a common Indian citizen. We amaze that what
a classic system of governance we have but we hardly get any clue when our
slice of cake goes in others plate. India's political patriarch is too big to
lay down on ground and work to rectify the root cause of real Indian problems.
Democracy is just a fancy face-lift to a dying system.
4. What
next?
Over the last five decades of zero reforms in this
technocratic, globalized and speed savvy world everything changed but only for
wealthy societies. In villages (of world) nothing serious has happened so far.
Democracy has become a lolly-pop which works every time whenever politicians
need to use it. It was supposed to be 'by people, for people and of people' but
it turned out to be an instrument of 'buy people, far people and off people'.
How it is possible that Horse, Mule and donkey will have same choice and their
choices will be good enough to bring growth in the kingdom?
Education, technology, urbanization is only helping to
limited set of urban societies. Majority of world's population is still
struggling for the basic needs. Increased pollution by human induced waste in
urban areas is infecting the lives of millions of innocent rural people. They are developing
new diseases and dying for all that good lifestyle we are developing in
cities. Death by hunger is still untapped problem of this world. Democracy
remarkably lowered down the evils of anarchy, wars and injustice but now that
we are too much in numbers, time has come to upgrade the democracy with a newer
version of administration.
5. Intellect-cracy
(Rule of Intellectuals)
In a speech Mr. Kejriwal said “In ancient India public
was having greater powers than the kings. Events as major as like right of
declaring war used to be chosen by public not by Kings”. In today's democracy
right of public is reduced as minimum as to cast vote and wait for another five
years to change our decision. It is true that public vote is not being effectively utilized by the public Itself. In this existing system, value of a vote of
a 103 years hold illiterate women of a very small village has the
same power what the vote of a 30 years old IAS officer has. This means if an
electing candidate gets 100 votes of IAS, IIT, IIM grade people and another
candidate gets 101 votes of illiterate people than we can see that the decision has actually lost the
purpose. In this multiparty election system, if a candidate gets 34 votes and
rest two candidate gets 33, 32 votes than it is concluded that 34 votes is
victory however it has been grossly ignored that 66 votes are against the
person who has been chosen as their navigator. I suggest following amendments in the
system of democracy.
5.1. Right
to Vote
Yes
right to vote exists but it has lost the sheen in the existing demographic
developments. In an era where migration to urban towns is too high due to
employment and education opportunities, young population lives away from
home. It is impossible for them to go back home just to cast vote. This is the
loss of one educated and important vote! On top of it, that vote gets
used by the one who is more mighty among the electing candidates.
This is a gross loss in useful decision!
Solution is to use information technology so that every individual can
cast their vote from wherever they work without wasting any time. It is easy,
convenient and right for the purpose. One can criticize this by claiming
that IT is vulnerable to hacking or data manipulation. I want
to reply them that even ballot box are equally vulnerable but we have just made a
perception that nothing of this sort happens in manual securities of ballot
boxes. Where is the will there is the way, today banks are doing online
transactions with confident ease of laws. Why not voting then?
5.2. Right
to reject
It
is evident from available sources on internet that maximum constituencies gets
nominations only from those who have more than one criminal charges against
them. It is unlawful not to vote. It is not counted that majority have not
voted. Election commission declares results based upon whatever percentage of population participated in the voting. This means if you have not voted, you
are not counted or this implies to the fact that you have chose one out of whatever
available. This seems is the breach of freedom as defined in Indian
Constitution. In candidates list of EVM (Electronic Voting Machine), system must add the option of 'Non of
these'. If the percentage of rejection reaches to 10%, election commission must
foil the voting and call for fresh nominations in which any
of existing candidates shall not participate at least in the election
of current five year term.
5.3. Right
to recall
Evidently true that Indian parliament works too less as compared to what is required to govern
the country of 1.29 billions. In these scarce working days, very less
number of MPs do actually participate in any debate. Hardly countable
members files any reform bills... the major task of members are to create
deadlocks in every discussion. Quite visible that here is a need of report card of
every MP. Based on this report card every year the performance of every single MP will be evaluated.
In case of disqualification, in
spite of conducting any other election, the runner up candidate will get the chance
to prove himself. and the stepping down MP will be barred for upcoming elections at
least for five years.
5.4. Local
Self-Help Units
Parganas, Blocks, Taluka, Districts should have local tax collection system. This
collected taxes with in these places should work independently for the
following segments of public administration.
5.4.1 Health
Medical
needs should be handled by 'Local Self-Help Units' by incorporating profit
oriented 'medical services' which will be governed by central government but funded by local administration. It
will ensure low cost but best quality medications to every class of society.
This health medication system will earn money from every sources like space selling, education, but strictly not by charging medication fees or price of pharmacy.
5.4.2 Education
Right
to education for 5-14 years old students has been installed but is not
functioning. This needs to be extended till 17 years so that the students can
arrange inter-mediate 12th std. exams (PUC). After PUC every students should be
called for their mandatory services in the field of R&D and/or Defense. This service will be
on the salary basis for two years. At age of 20 these students will be set eligible to chose from joining higher education like graduation or
post graduation or to start earning for the family. Higher education should be a profit making unit and should be priced dearly with a strong
selection process for the students. Only most eligible should have access to this level of
education. This operation needs to be managed locally except the design of
course curriculum so that we can universalize the national spirit
among youngsters.
5.4.3 Nagar Palika
City administration and expense of administration must
be managed by city authority. Center will only provide aide in case of any
natural or uncalled calamity. Metro, Road, Sky, Rail, Sailways should be
governed by the local authorities by keeping these segments profit making so that the administration can prosper and civic society can learn social responsibilities.
5.4.4. Civil Security
Except national
security forces like army, anti-terror squads and fighting such national threats everything
else should be controlled by the local civil security experts. This cell will
be directly governed by one singular identity called Indian Police.
5.4.5 Disaster
Control
A cell so work that it takes care of flood,
drought, earth quick, tsunami, cyclone or riots, mob, molestation etc...
It should be incorporated by local administration under the supervision of one arm i.e. Indian Judiciary.
I have planned even the minute details of 'Intelect-o-cracy' but all that I cannot write here. So let me prepare strongly to actualize our dream of 'Intelect-o-cracy' Oh! You must be thinking 'What about media?'.... well wait for my next post! I have a solution to bell the cat! Jai Hind!!
