Democracy not correctly defined

We must accept that democracy has not been correctly defined. It is not government of the people. As set of people have taken up politics as a profession, trade, calling and employment and they are the rulers. Therefore, as and when a government is formed after election, that government is not of the people because these ruling people are not from amongst the people. They are the nominees of the political parties and only political parties know on what consideration these people have been selected and nominated for election. It is not a government by the people and that is the reason the people in the government are not working for the people. The people are simply voters who are called once in a five years aor so and they are directed to cast votes in favour of the candidates who have been allowed to stand as candidates. When these people cast their vote, their work is finished and they are pushed back to suffer for an other term of five years or so. The people who form government never work for the welfare of the people of the country nor they are committed as such. That is the reason in most of the democracies in the world the people in power are not working as public servants and they never allow the people to turn as masters of the country. Democracy is just a name and therefore, the ruler’s work with a rod in their hand and they utilize all power through police, courts and through jails. The people get only those rights which these rulers give them and nothing more. The word of democracy, fundamental rights, masters and public servants are just in books and those are never brought into practice. Therefore, we shall have admit that democracy which is present in all the countries could be called or defined as a government of a few, by a few and for a few and therefore, the common people should try to live like slaves as they had been under rajas, maharajas or under the imperialists. They shall have to wait for true democracy for another century.

In democracies participation of people is nil.

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

It has been said that democracy is the best form of Government because it is government of the people, by the people and for the people and all rajas, maharajas, monarchs and imperialists are no more to govern them. But we shall have to accept that this concept of democracy has not be adopted fully in any of the countries claiming that they have established democracy in their country. If we go deep, we can find that all in politics are those who want to become rajas, maharajas, monarchs and the imperialists and they want to rule the people through one way or the other. All entries in the constitutions are paper transactions and the people in power could not change their habits and spirit. They do not want to become public servants and serve the people. They want to rule and till they are on chairs, they treat the people as subjects or as slaves and every citizen is not allowed to approach to them.

The people in each country are just voters and they are invited at the prescribed time to come, stand in lines before the poling booths and then caste their votes in favour of one of the candidate who is not known to them, whose character and antecedents are not known to the voter and who has got no approach upto that fellow. Therefore, this casting of votes is just a formality and when these people are elected and sit on seats of power, they could no turn people of the people. They were a separate class, they are a separate class and they shall remain a separate class. They have taken up this line as a profession, trade, calling and employment and therefore, they are investing money only to gain profits and get power. That is the reason they are taking all the eligible members of their families in this field and all these political parties are just co-operative societies where some people collect and distribute positions amongst themselves and they start inviting others to join this party as members and in most of the cases, they take money as admission fee and even portfolios are divided through auction and sale. We should not expect that such people shall follow some code of conduct.

The people always remain subjects or slaves and they cannot call themselves that they too have become masters of the country. Such entries are available in each constitution in the world, but it is strange that the people could not get such a position in any of the democracies in the world. The rulers are still functioning with the same spirit in their mind which was functioning in the hearts of rajas, maharajas, monarchs and the imperialists. They could not come from this spirit to rule and therefore, till this spirit is available in the ruling classes, no country shall become full fledged democracy.
