I. FACTS :-

1. Democracy is considered as the government of the people, by the people and for the people. The idea is that every citizen in the country is made to feel a responsibility in regard to the well-being of the nation, and everyone has the choice and the right to choose the best among themselves for the purpose of being placed at the helm of affairs.

2. Democracy has been regarded latterly as the most suitable form of government, since it deprives a single person or even a group of people of the authority to lord over others, and the authority is invested with the citizens as a whole. It is a government of common consensus of the public in general, so that no one can complain as to the nature and the form of the working of the governmental machinery.

3. However, Swamiji considers democracy as the worst form of government, because it invests the mob with power and treats the wise and the fool on equal terms.

4. In the system of voting, democracy has one vote for a genius and one vote for the illiterate and the ignorant.

5. The quantitative assessment of the value of administration does not pay attention to the quality that is necessary for managing the affairs of the State.

6. For instance, the person chosen by ten great masters of understanding and experience may be defeated in election by a person chosen by several hundreds of the common masses, who are empowered by the system of democracy with an equal value as that which one would associate with men of true knowledge and experience.

7. Further, the democratic system has no foolproof method of avoiding such forms of corruption in election as coercion, intimidation and even purchase, when the voters are not always people who are properly educated in the meaning of democracy and a democratic organisation of government.

8. Democracy, perhaps, expects almost impossible qualities from the general public as the wisdom to know what is right and wrong, as if everyone equally is capable of that kind of achievement.

9. Else, the quality of efficiency would be sacrificed at the altar of a chaotic mass of the quantity in the form of a mere counting of heads.

10. Swamiji feels that one day or the other people are likely to get fed up with the system of democratic government, for, in this system, people are made to feel that they have the power of choice, while, in fact, they have no such power, for reasons already mentioned earlier.

11. Above all this, there is the well-nigh possibility of the person chosen democratically as the leader turning a despot and a veritable king by himself.

12. Wherever we turn, we seem to be striking our head against the unavoidability of someone being there as the centre of authority, which is just the meaning of monarchy, though the head of the State may not wear a crown, or be seated on a throne.

13. The centring of all authority in one person is the principle of monarchy, and this fearsome possibility seems to be insinuating itself into every form of the political set-up, since, in the end, it is difficult to conceive two persons having equal authority.

II. NOTE :  WEAKNESS OF DEMOCRACY. RESULT IN FAILURE -

1. Being tired of the diluted and essence-less system of a nebulous democracy of people – and every one's responsibility can turn into no one's responsibility – the people may choose to have, again, a single person as the ruling power, as the last alternative, but this time the ruler being a likely tyrant.

2. It goes without saying that tyranny is the darkest phase into which the administrative system can descend, wherein the ruling authority has the least concern over the feelings of others and is mindful only of the meticulous discharge of his own will, whim and fancy.

3. As truth is said to triumph finally, and concentration of power in some corner exclusively is not the policy of Nature, despotism, autocracy or tyranny have their fall not very far from the date of their rising to the surface of the political field.

4. All told, it may follow that, for whatever reason, the present-day humanity cannot choose any other form of government than a well-constituted democracy, since, while it may have certain characteristics which are bad, the other systems have characteristics which are worse.

OPINION :-

1. The danger of investing all power in  A INDIVIDUAL  is so obvious that this fear can be mellowed down, if not obliterated sometimes, by requiring the ruling head to be educated in the philosophy of life.

2. Today fast spreading family/dynastic politics in all regions of Bharatham, WITH INEFFICIENT HANDS, AND TRANSFER OF POWER TO NEXT GENERATIONS ARE ON THE RISE IN VARIOUS REGIONAL PARTIES, CERTAIN TO END IN CORRUPTION;

3. THIS ALREADY VISIBLE IN : MULAYAM AND MAYAWATI IN UP, LALU AND PASWAN IN BIHAR, PATNAIKS IN ORISSA, TSR AND NAIDU IN TELANGANA AND ANDHRA, KARUNANITHI, AIADMK, CINEMA STARS, FOOLISH LANGUAGE MAD PARTIES IN TAMILNADU, MAMATA IN BENGAL, KEJRIWAL IN DELHI AND SO ON;

4. CONGRESS A MOST CORRUPTED DYNASTY / WITH ONE FAMILY HIGH COMMAND,;

5. BLOOD THIRSTY ANTI NATIONAL COMMUNISTS, ONCE SAID IN 1962 CHINESE INVASION, NOT TO DONATE BLOOD TO CRITICALLY WOUNDED INDIAN SOLDIERS;

6. FOR INSTANCE, IN LAST BIHAR ASSEMBLY POLLS, THE PERSONS CHOSEN, BY MODIJI ELECTION RALLIES WERE LESS/DEFEATED THAN / THEN  FROM/ BY  THE GRAND ALLIANCE OF CORRUPTED PARTIES CONSISTING OF LALU, NITISH, CONGRESS CHOSEN BY SEVERAL THOUSAND  ILLITERATE COMMON MASSES, WHO ARE EMPOWERED BY THE SYSTEM OF DEMOCRACY WITH AN EQUAL VALUE AS THAT OF VISIONARY  MODIJI ASSOCIATED WITH CANDIDATES OF TRUE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE;

7. NOW TRUTH IS CRYSTAL CLEAR : WHY OUR POLITICIANS DO NOT EDUCATE PEOPLE OF BHARATHAM SINCE INDEPENDENCE, AND STILL WISH TO KEEP THEM IN IGNORANCE ( FOR VOTES );

8. NOW THE TRUTH IS CRYSTAL CLEAR : WHY OUR NATION'S ABUSE THE CASTE SYSTEM STILL PERSISTS, IT IS THE POLITICIANS NEED - A DIVIDED SOCIETY- BY SIMPLE FORMULA THE LAKHS OF CASTES ( RESERVATION POLICY );

9. NOW THE TRUTH CRYSTAL CLEAR, WHY OUR NATION, STILL DIVIDED INTO MAJORITY AND MINORITY BY RELIGION BASIS A NEED OF POLITICIANS , ( TO GAIN MINORITY VOTES );

10. NOW THE TRUTH IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, WHY ONE NATION AND ONE PEOPLE REALIZATION NOT ACHIEVED AFTER SEVENTY YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE, THE REGIONAL POLITICS WHERE THE NON BJP GOVERNMENT'S CM, RECENTLY ASKED PM NOT TO INTERFERE THEIR STATE AFFAIRS (  MAMATA, KEJRIWAL, NAIDU, TSR, KUMARASWAMI, PINARAI + COMMUNISTS ), THEIR EYES ON CENTER MONEY ONLY; -A SEPARATIST, NON COOPERATING FEDERALISM IS IT NOT?

LAST NOTE : -

"DEMOCRACY  WITH COMBINED  POLITICAL SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE AND ADMINISTRATION RESULTING IN GOOD GOVERNANCE ACHIEVING BEST LIFE AND DIVINITY CUM ETERNITY TO PEOPLE = RAMARAJYAM = BHARATHAM" !!!!!!!!!  ?

IS THIS POSSIBLE ? WHEN LALU, MULAYAM, MAMATA, KEJRIWAL, CONGRESS, COMMUNISTS, KARUNA, ALL ASSORTED TAMIL GROUPS, NAIDU, KUMARASWAMI, TSR AND MANY DEMONS ON PLAY GROUND WITH HIGH VOLTAGE SATANIC POWERS COMBINED WITH ILLITERATE POOR MASSES AND MINORITY PLUS CASTE POLITICS ....?
