KARNATAKA ELECTION - 2013

KARNATAKA ELECTION - 2013 HATES OFF TO MEDIA FOR THEIR WHOLE HEARTED SUPPORT TO MOTIVATE THE VOTERS TO VOTE..DEFINITELY WE MAY SEE A BETTER PERCENTAGE OF VOTING..WE ARE WITH YOU ALL .. DURING POLITICAL ELECTIONS ALL POLITICAL PARTIES CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER EDUCATION.WHEN WE TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT SOME OF THE CANDIDATES , WE HAVE TO ADMIT, IT IS NEEDED THE PERSON WHO NEVER VOTES IS THE FIRST TO TELL US WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE GOVERNMENT.. A DEMOCRACY IS A SYSTEM WHERE A FELLOW WHO DIDN'T VOTE CAN SPEND THE REST OF THE YEARS KICKING ABOUT THE CANDIDATE THE OTHER FELLOWS ELECTED.. EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES..THAT IS WHY WE KEEP HAVING POLITICAL ELECTIONS.. GOVERNMENT IS A NECESSITY, MAN HAS NOT YET GROWN CIVILISED ENOUGH TO TO DISPENSE WITH IT . IT IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN LAW AND ORDER AND PROTECT THE INDIVIDUAL'S RIGHTS AND DUTIES.HENCE SINCE THE DAWN OF HUMAN CIVILISATION MAN HAS LIVED UNDER ONE FORM OF GOVERNMENT OR ANOTHER . AS IN INDIA , DEMOCRACY DEGENERATES INTO PARTY POLITICS AND RACE FOR POWER BEGINS .THUS WE THE COMMON MAN IS AGAIN THROWN AT THE MERCY OF POLITICAL ADVENTURISTS.. BESIDES A LOT OF PEOPLE SHOW LESS ENTHUSIASM FOR SUFFRAGE AND EVERY SHOWS THAT MORE THAN 60 OR 70% OF VOTERS FLOCK TO THE POLLING BOOTH..THE REST REMAIN INDIFFERENT TO THEM ..MORE EVER DEMOCRACY IS THE GOVERNMENT OF THE MAJORITY WHICH CONSISTS OF A LARGER NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO CONTINUE TO REMAIN IGNORANTLY INDIFFERENT TO THE POLITICAL STATE OF AFFAIRS..IN THIS WAY THE WISE, THE GOOD AND QUALIFIED MEN OFTEN FIND NO ROOM IN DEMOCRACY .AGAIN THE DEMOCRATIC MACHINERY IS SO SLOW THAT IT CANNOT COPE WITH A CRISIS LIKE A WAR OR INTERNAL TROUBLES..IN MOMENTS OF NATIONAL CRISIS EVEN DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS HAVE TO ASSUME DICTATORIAL POWER TO SOME EXTENT..DEMOCRATIC SET-OP AS LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLIES,SENATES OR PARLIAMENTS ARE MERE TALKING POINTS SOMETIMES WHERE GLORIFIED DEBATING ARENAS WHERE MEMBERS WASTE THEIR BREATH AND TIME IS DISCUSSIONS.. IN THIS WAY IT IS CLEAR THAT MAN'S STRUGGLE TO EVOLVE A SATISFACTORY PATTERN OF GOVERNMENT IS BOUND TO CONTINUE .WE LEARN BY OUR MISTAKES AND EXPERIENCE..VARIOUS FORMS OF GOVERNMENTS HAVE BEEN TRIED AND FOUND WAITING, BUT THE SEARCH FOR THE IDEAL CONTINUES..AS SUCH IT IS WRONG TO SAY THAT IS FOOLISH TO DISCUSS OVER THE PROBLEMS OF GOVERNMENT AND LIVE IN BELIEF THAT EVERY FORM OF GOVERNMENT IS GOOD PROVIDED THE PEOPLE WHO RUN IT ARE GOOD..HOWEVER, LESSONS OF ITS FAILURE ARE LEARNT EVEN IN THE DEMOCRATIC SET-UP..THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD HAVE COME TO REALISE THAT UNBRIDLED OR ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY IS LIKE A STRONG WINE WHICH TURNS A PERSON'S HEAD..IT IS TRUE POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY..HENCE THE NEED OF A POPULAR GOVERNMENT HAS LED TO THE BELIED THAT NO SINGLE INDIVIDUAL SHOULD WIELD ABSOLUTE POWER FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME .. THE RIGHT SOLUTION IS TO IMPROVE THE SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE INDIVIDUALS WHO RUN IT..IN THIS WAY DEMOCRACY IS A PERFECT SYSTEM PROVIDED ITS MACHINERY IS LUBRICATED AND PUT IN THE HANDS OF NATIONAL MINDED INDIVIDUALS WHO DEVOTEDLY AND WITH A DEDICATED SPIRIT WORK FOR THE MAXIMUM GOOD OF THE LARGEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE ..TO GET FULFILLED THIS NOBLE IDEA, WE HAVE TO COME OUT OF OUR PREMISES TO VOTE FOR A STABLE STATE, PROSPEROUS KARNATAKA AND VIBRANT INDIA ... Thanks a lot.. Regards.. Sajjan Raj Mehta..
