Notes on Democracy Part 2
Why should we need an opposition in the democratic system?
BJP is becoming an invincible force under @narendramodi and @AmitShah
If @BJP4India has mapped its leaders for the next 50 years including the reigns of @myogiadityanath and @annamalai_k ,

If @BJP4India has mapped its leaders for the next 50 years including the reigns of @myogiadityanath and @annamalai_k ,
their so called opposition is shamefully struggling to figure out who their leader today is.
This being the context, our intellectuals start advising how we don’t have a robust ‘opposition’ and the importance of having an opposition.
This is the biggest collective delusion.

If judiciary can work without ideology and opposition, then why can’t the Legislature and Executive work without a political process which costs a fortune, forcing parties to be at war constantly?
What is ideology? Why should ideology lead a group of people?

Ideology should be personal. Dangerous if it becomes collective.
Indian Defence system is one of the most patriotic. They sit on arms, secret information, and skills. The leaders of defence don’t work well because there is opposition watching or there is an ideology.

Each humble Jawan who lays his life for the country is doing it for no ideology, but his personal value called patriotism.
The greatest of surgeons don’t operate well because there is an opposition in every hospital, nor an ideology that leads him.

No judge gives a fair judgment because there is opposition bench or ideology.
Our health, our defence, our economy, our justice, our infrastructure, our agriculture – we get medical help, we are protected, we have utilities and facilities, we have food on our plate -

and none of these came with a strong opposition watching. Why then we have the entity that govern all that must be any different?
Can it not be a different process based on meritocracy?
Doesn’t this inherently suggest that the political system lacks complete trust of people,

and therefore, the politicians need to be watched?
In a constituency, a candidate wins if she gets more vote than everyone else. She gets 30% and becomes their representative even though 70% of people opposed her.
Strange that this is sold to us as the system of democracy

Strange that this is sold to us as the system of democracy
that must govern us, and we are also told that this is the best system.
Who decided this is democracy?
This is simply collectivism – a form of transferring power from voter to the representative who becomes superior to common man with that power.

The moment he is elected, he becomes untrustworthy.
So, why at all have this system?
It has failed in every country. If the revolving door, the campaign money, the lobbying of corporatocracy spoilt the great American democracy, the political correctness and Hegelian equation

destroyed policy making of the West resulting in shifting chaos.
Gold, oil, and forest destroyed the stability of African and South American countries and created never ending unrest in the middle east.
Robbed India of our ability to rebuild after the millennium-long invasion

Corruption is the face of the present democratic order of the world.
What inherent weakness led countries succumb to corruption?
It did not even spare a country like Japan before Abe – despite their world-renowned discipline.

What made India’s opposition sing the tunes of our hostile neighbours?
Which Congress frontline worker is happy to do that?
Still they are doing this under the collective hysteria of ideology.
It made a section of our people hate a patriot like Modi whom they have

absolutely no personal conflict with.
Enmity is always personal.
If we feel hatred towards someone we don’t know personally, then that is a conditioned state of mind.
Politics or manmade religions are the tools of conditioning.

It’s like what Jergović compared as the ‘pack of dogs in the park’. He said if a single dog chased you, it’s natural.
But if a pack did it, then they are conditioned.
If I can trust people in every other profession that directly affects my life, then I see nothing wrong in
