Voters’ Awareness

Active participation of informed voters in the system is the key to a successful democracy. India was a democratic country long ago. Democracy was blessed again after that much time in 1947 but people were made adaptive to monarchy in between. Resultantly democracy stimulates as well as forces us to be worthy of it.

Voters’ awareness is part of this worthiness. Let’s confess that awareness is seldom given from without. It is rather groomed from within. Still the awareness in environment percolates.

What awareness do we need? Let’s focus upon the context. It sounds relieving to see that we have been discussing this awareness for quite some time. The core of this discussion is the worthiness of the person to be elected.

So let’s define the worthiness of a representative.  Education will make us wise can not be taken for granted. Ability alone is not fruitful. It is passion for the betterment of the people of the constituency that must come above all in the person who wishes to be a representative. Passion leads to ability. Passion makes us honest. Let the passion be the guiding principal of the worthiness in a leader.

Next: The voters must be cognizant of the person/s wish to represent them well in advance. I recommend 5 years in advance. This will prove his/her worthiness in every manner. How can I vote for a person I know nothing or little about?

Again: a label labeled to a person is of no value. It involves voters’ awareness that we pay no attention to it.

It’s our duty to spread this awareness among the voters to ensure we elect the best among us as our representative.

Good Governace- another approach

Good Governance: Need of the Hour

The natural resources have never been inadequate for the consumers on this planet. But this is a pre-man story. Man brought greed with his advent on the earth. Greed began imbalance in nature and its resources. This has brought us to the present crisis of distribution of the natural as well as man made resources. It is Governance that makes this crisis intense or dilute.

Man is born dialectical as is the universe itself. Balance between the good and the bad in man is a utopia. Good Governance leads mankind to this ideal state despite the fact that the utopia is an illusion.

Governance involves aggregation of power. It may be needed but it is surely a double edged sword. The history of man kind proves the worst use of this aggregated power. It is greed, ego, ambition, dominance, hate, luxury, lust, etc. that have ruled over temperance, love, kindness, cooperation, humanity, need, etc.

Good governance is a notion, mechanism and enforcement where the good rules the bad in us. The challenge is:- Goodness seldom tends to unite. The way is:- Make the balance between the good and the bad within us, the chief concern of the education system. Ensure its inculcation in every individual.

Mind: balance is subject to both inculcation and enforcement.

Thus the gist of good governance lies in transforming each individual into his/her true self “divine”. Education is the instrument. Spirit for it is the force. Man’s skill and intelligence are the assurance to sure success.

Growing anguish among people following rising awareness of their rights has pushed the rulers everywhere to introduce good governance or to expose. Let the good rule over the bad or nobody can help mankind woo its demise.

Good Governance

Good Governance: Need of the Hour

Ours being dialectical propounded the notion of governance. Governance involves aggregation of power. Strengthened governments left the subject weak. But awareness percolates. Man can not be subjected to prolong subjugation. That’s why the history of governance witnesses the shift from absolutism to democracy. Democracy involves germination of mass empowerment. The empowerment leads the aggregated power to segregation. Segregation leads to exposing the governance itself. This exposure takes us to good governance. Thus good governance is an effect by force not by choice.

Today we find more and more people realizing more and more that it is the poor governance that has left them with most of the problems they find themselves trapped in. Spreading education, growing middle class, empowering social and electronic media and some leaders with Nirlipt Buddhi have contributed to good governance. This has left the rulers with no option but to render good governance particularly in a democratic set up.

The notion of good governance involves the good subjugating the bad at micro as well macro level. It envisages a society where most of the problems and challenges are resolved by the minds vested with rationale, humanity and patriotism. Education can transform the most ordinary mind into the sublime. Both the ruler and the ruled collectively march towards sublimity setting higher goals and shedding ignorance.

Good governance is sans time and place hence always is a need of the hour.

Slogan: - Let the good/ divine/ solution subjugate the bad/ devil/ problem.
