We the People
We, the people, are responsible for this malady. How? you may ask! In the democratic India, we are only left with one right - that is - Voting Right! We do not even know how to exercise our Voting Right! We have premier Management Institutions (IIMs) and B-Schools. Let them use their expertise to train our people as to how to exercise their franchise.

We are in total anarchy! We have allowed and turned a handful of otherwise, low caliber people, into giants in the eyes of public. Inequity, Injustice, Corruption in all corners, weakened judiciary, every one wants to wield power and misuse them. In reality, four hundred and odd people rule 115 cr. population at ease! Sardar Patel toiled to unite the Princely States. The Rajas and Maharajas descending from various dynasties had faith in their Prajas and Almighty! Taking their kingdom, making them too small under the garb of democracy, we have created and are creating dynasty of politicians! Who is at fault?

The so called four pillars of democracy (Executive, Legislature, Judiciary and the Media) are shaky. We have one Sridharan to mend the pillars, if found cracky, in the Metro Network, however, we have failed to produce as many Sridharans as possible to attend these cracked pillars.

Let there be unity and the like-minded people join hands to disseminate and educate the people of this country to bring about a just leadership for building a very Strong Nation, called, India! If we don't do it, we would be answerable to our next generation!

    In a country that claims democracy, Indians seem to be confused on the definition of the government style. You can not blame the people however, because it is the duty of the people to have faith in their country to do the right thing. Indira Gandhi manipulated the people of India by legitimizing the repression by calling for order in a chaos that she created. Indira Gandhi has made catastrophic changes to India’s political, social, and religious views that still have negative repercussions today because of the authoritarian precedent that she set for India’s political system.…

    How do Classical Republicanism and Natural rights philosophers affect the Founders view about government because, both the Classical Republicans and Natural Rights philosophers impacted the Founders view about the government. In the preamble it shows that there are more Classical Republicans signatures and a few Natural rights philosophers’ signatures. The three court cases that I chose were Betts v. Brady, Bowers v. Hardwick, and Loretto v. Teleprompter Manhattan. In the first case Brady v. Betts in 1995, Betts was the offender, who robbed a place in Maryland but could not afford and attorney. The 6th amendment then comes into play because it sets forth rights related to criminal prosecutions. Betts could not defend himself in the case and he was sent to jail. Classical Republicanism is shown here because Betts stated he did not have an attorney to the judge. And the Judge and said that in the 6th amendment it did not include the rights to an attorney. Which also rules in favor of Natural Rights philosophy? The second case I decided to go with was Bowers v. Hardwick 1985, Michael Hardwick was being observed by a Georgia officer while he had been engaged in sexual intercourse with someone of the same sex. Hardwick’s first amendment rights were violated by the police officer by observing Hardwick in his own personal life. In this case it shows a huge chunk of Classical Republicanism because the court had agreed with Hardwick that he had violated his rights. Although the officer had denied the fact that he violated the rights of Hardwick, the court still sided with Hardwick. In my last case Lorreto v. Teleprompter Manhattan 1982, a company had violated a customer’s rights to privacy which means violating the fourth amendment. Classical Republicanism is shown in this case because they say it is a violation of privacy. Natural rights Philosophy is show because they say that the company…

    We the People of the United States” is the famous line that begins the Constitution of the United States. Since the signing of the constitution it has been realized that “We the People” does not necessarily refer to everyone. In actuality, “We the People” really refers to the white male. This is apparent just by looking at some of the amendments to the constitution. For if, “We the people” was intended to cover every person than we would not have amendments that abolished slavery and we would not have amendments that granted women or blacks the right to vote. From the beginning of our countries start, equality in American was set up to mean equality between white men and white men only. Women have suffered and worked hard to make progress to…

    This may come as a surprise to you, but what you actually believe to be your own personality is a combination of other organisms that you may come into contact with. From developing relationships between siblings and mimicking their individual personalities, to avoidance of a certain organism due to a precedent setting event that caused us to fear said thing. What will not surprise you is the fact that all humans, no matter what race, has different stories to tell when it comes to how those fears and past experiences made them into the people they claim they are today; creating their identity, in a sense. Our identities are accumulative; constantly changing as we grow older, and maturing with age. The only difference between a confirmed identity and a changing one is the ability to shape how we want others to view us. Do we want to be known as cowards, or people who have learned from our mistakes? Biased or people who learn how to see both situations equally? Challengers or people who chose to see things in different perspectives so that we may go home with fewer scares to show for it? Whatever the answer may be, it’s important that we understand that we are what little interactions this life has made for us and the variety of those interactions shape how we feel about certain actions, comments, gestures, flaws, and even discrepancies that we may have encountered in the course of our lives.…

    We reasonably take pride that we are the largest democracy in the world. Parliamentary democracy, which is the basic foundation of our Constitutional setup, presupposes the sovereignty of the people. As a prerequisite for a functional parliamentary democracy, the Constitution of India has provided for’ separation of powers’ for securing the basic rights of the people and has consciously introduced a scheme of checks and balances in the exercise of powers, with a very important object of ensuring that the power is not concentrated in any particular organ of the state, which can assume undesirable proportions.…

    This is a vital issue today that what is the purpose of electing the political parties to form the government. If we look the entire democratic process it completely gives the picture of non people oriented leadership establishments in political leadership, getting education, starting business doing any social services. The democracy's look is capitalist. Till we change this look and understand the democracy has given the first right to common people and that right is representative right and now we have to think how this right should be used by the common people to lead the society entering into the political institutions. The representative right is now used by the wealthy classes in our society and they able to build the political parties and in maximum cases they constituted the constitutional framework that gives the political parties to come in front of the common people through election commissions registration process. If we seriously look into the function of election commission they should limit themselves to act for preparing the people's mandate giving programme and listing the voters, but they are doing some extra job given to them by the political leadership who want to remain in seat of power.…

    As a child I was amused at the premonition of the Soothsayer when he predicted the Death of Julius Caesar, who out of sheer vanity not only discarded his advice, but also admonished him for the same. A similar analogy can be drawn to the travesty that now surrounds Uttarakhand, the sole exception being, the vanity and obliviousness of the Government has gravely pulverized the State Exchequer and costed the lives of its own denizens, as against the death of one ruler.…

    The Preamble of our constitution very clearly lists out the basic values of democracy. It states that India is a democratic country that secures its citizens social, economic and political justice. Well, I am pained to say that despite being independent for so many years, we still have demons of social injustice looming large around us. Dalits are still being denied to function despite being appointed as Sarpanch in panchayats of many villages. Untouchability and killing of girl children are some evils still very prevalent. There is no economic or political justice either. The gap between the haves and the have nots is ever increasing!…
