FLOATING THOUGHTS

MY IDEA OF DEMOCRACY

1 . If Corruption , alone, could be handled and dealt with iron hand, I think, 70 to 75 percent problems of Bharat ( i dont like the Greek slang -India) involvlng people below poverty line and half of middle Class would be solved by its in-built effect.
2 Next important Measure should be right to food . Let there be any number of rich or affluent with any high type of living . but if even one person has to die of hunger, then any type of adminitration, even democracy, is a total failure. I believe in SriAurobindo's remark that if a starving man steals or robs a rich for his meal , he is not guilty of theft or crime..
3.Right to education : No society or Nation is civillised , so long it can not offer minimum educational condition to its poorest rung of people.
4.Voting right is a Social and Democratic right but not to vote any unworthy Candidate with criminal record or established negetive character should be also be recognised as Democratic Right. Voters should have right to re-call thier elected leader if found unworthy or with developing criminal records.
5. If Democratic right is a God given right, Democratic RESPONSIBILITY should also be included in the Constitution as an obigatory condition.

Eating a banana on the road is a Democratic right but throwing it anywhere, is not.
