MAJORITY'S RIGHTS

MAJORITY'S RIGHTS

Can  an ethnically majority group have more rights than a minority? This question is at the core of all disputes of a democracy. If this is unanswered there is no end of disputes.

WE NEED URGENT REVISION OF OUR SYSTEM

WE NEED URGENT REVISION OF OUR SYSTEM We have slowly created a massive structure of administration which encompasses every sphere of human activity. And this massive structure is being manned principally by two means, either by some subject based  competitive examination or by some merit list of qualifying academic examination.  But after seven decades of of our vast experience we have failed to recognize that most part of this massive structure is non performing in actual sense or if performing in any way is producing widespread discontent among beneficiaries due to their sheer incompetency , arrogance, delay and dictatorship. We have not tried to measure the level of satisfaction among beneficiaries after creating  such a massive administrative structure. Some sectors do rituals of social audit with no tangible outcome. Why have we not wondered why our merit based selection process has miserably failed to produce desired impact and to generate a good level of satisfacti...

भारत की वर्तमान राजनीति और भविष्य के लिए चंद चर्चे।

भारत की वर्तमान राजनीति और भविष्य के लिए चंद चर्चे। जिन धर्मों में धार्मिक परम्पराओं के कारण उपवास का चलन है और दरिद्र को ईश्वर का रूप माना जाता है और इन दोनों परम्पराओं के पालन को मोक्ष अथवा ईश्वर की प्राप्ति का साधन माना जाता है उन धार्मिक समूहों में आर्थिक विकास और समानता के नाम पर लोगों को लामबंद नहीं किया जा सकता है। यही वजह है कि हिन्दू बहुल भारत और नेपाल तथा मुस्लिम बहुल राष्ट्रों में भारी गरीबी, असमानता और  उत्पीड़न मिलता है और विकास और आर्थिक वृद्धि के सवाल आम जनों को उद्वेलित नहीं कर पाते हैं।  ऐसे देशों में जनता को धार्मिक मुद्दों में उलझा देना बहुत ही सरल होता है।       आज भारत के बड़े और प्रबुद्ध मंच पर भाजपा के हिन्दू राजनीति की कठोर आलोचना होती है किंतु चुनावों में भाजपा को पराजित करना लगभग असंभव हो चुका है। इसका सीधा कारण यह है कि आम भारतीय अपने मूल स्वभाव से धार्मिक-कर्मकांडी होता है और आर्थिक समृद्धि के आगे उसे सांस्कृतिक समृद्धि , जो धार्मिकता और कर्मकाण्ड के पुरुत्थान में दिखता है से ज्यादा प्रभावित होता है। सो वह शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, रोजगार, आमद...

CHOICES IN DEMOCRACY

CHOICES IN DEMOCRACY Democracy is only form in which people have a right to decide what type of government they should have. They have right to have  a government of their choice. This right put enormous and significant onus on the people . If they choose an inefficient government or a government which is bad in certain respect they can't blame others. And this onus also necessiates that people should be aware of what is good for them. This choice is not so simple. Deciding which is good for themselves requires people to be well informed about their own needs. Better choice is not an easy choice by any means. Realization of reality can enable people to opt for better choice. And reality is not easily realized. A lot of misinformation covers the reality. Let's take one example. A secured  decent income is necessary for leading a good life. But how can we secure a decent income? Quality education , good health and a good proliferating job market are essentials. So if a governmen...
