Democracy is our birthright!

In 21st century, can we confirm to all the human being on this earth that democracy is their birthright? What is happening across the world is real complex. But one thing remains certain from my point of view that educated and conscious citizens are very clear of one thing and that is democratic form of governance is the birthright. The election in Palestine and Iran are a very good example. Even the communist government in China is moving towards this direction. They are giving freedom to its citizen. They have come to conclusion that there is no growth of people or even nation without enforcing democratic development in society. Democracy generates participation. It generates competitions. It develops zeal required for exponential growth of human beings. Is their a lesson for other side of the world who are still in other form of governance?

Nepal has shown the way. Nepali has given a live example to this world. The people of Nepal have shown the power. They have demonstrated their zeal to achieve their participation in the governance of their country. Today Nepal moved away from Monarch ruler. It is great event for the humanity. It is an example for the other suppressed human being of this world. Is it a good lesson for other not so democratic countries?

United States as a single leader of the world is moving in a right direction. Although, it faces a lot of problem inside the country as well as outside, it is doing its bit for the betterment of self and other deprived human beings of the world. How could a deprived human beings ever come to know what they are missing? Americans feel that it is not their duty to teach freedom to the world. But the attack of 9/11 has confirmed that it is very dangerous to keep the blind eye to these development of society. Today, in 21st century, people are more aware and conscious than their ruler. Thanks to TV, Internet and other communication mediums. Ruler may be comfortable to keep poor deprived, but poor will not tolerate this for long. In future, even the people like Osama have to come forward and make some constructive efforts to build a progressive society. How far terrorist activities can convince people that they will get their due through these means? What Osama is doing for deprived Muslim world? Even if Kashmir or Palestinians come to Muslim ruler, how are they going to provide developed status to their illiterate, religious and stupid people? People need proper education. They need opportunity to develop. They need good life. They need basic amenities. They do not need Kashmir or Palestine. Similarly, any other communities need basic amenities rather than anything else in the world. America is doing right. America has done great job by bringing democracy to Afghanistan and Iraq. May God give America and Americans courage to spread democracy and lawfulness to this world?

When the question of democracy comes, it is difficult proposition. It is very complex to decide human needs. I have summarized three ingredients which require special attention to achieve free concepts in society.

1. Global Thinking – We should not restrict our acquaintances with people of one country, rather we should move across the world. We should be ready to accept caliber from any parts of the earth to improve life of humanity. We must unlearn old ‘Missionary Phobia’. When Bill Gates of Microsoft Corporations fought to remove the ‘visa’ restrictions of the United States of America, there is no reason that we should not enhance the system and improve infrastructures to attract brilliant mind from across the world in various field irrespective of region and religion.
2. Global Family – We must consider the whole world as one family. We should cross the barrier of religion, region, caste or creed for making relationships or marriages. Generally, we had been contented with meeting and making family based on caste, language or region. We should stop marriages based on caste or region. We must learn from Hema Malini or Amir Khan. The time has come when we should openly welcome and institutionalized entry of people from across the world. We should stop asking the people of their caste and region to make an opinion or companion.
3. Democratic Behaviour - Time has come to accept the basic democratic behaviour in our personality. It is next to impossible to have a prosperous world if the society is built without the contribution or sense of involvement by each and every individual like rich or poor, male or female, educated or illiterate, no caste barring, believers of any religion or faith, etc.

Nepal is current example. Sri Lanka, Burma, Pakistan and other countries across the world must take lesson from this to bring democracy to their people. Indian leaders also should take lesson to become more democratic. Developed world should not ignore this opportunity. Posted by Picasa
