Democracy A Responsibility: Part 1

We all know the meaning of democracy but in limited and selfish scope. Undoubtedly democracy is good, but discipline should back that up. Disciplined democracy is the greatest of all living lifestyles. Responsibilities, Patriotism, country and discipline are the four pillars of democracy. Even if one rotten pillar often turns democracy into arbitrary behaviour that harms the majority. Democracy does not mean behaving arbitrarily and capriciously. While being arbitrariness, every individual must follow certain rules. Otherwise, your behaviour becomes communal and selfish. What we believe is what goes along from you comes back to you. Even if we consider that no god is watching us, rules are meant to live a better life. Democracy with responsibility is a powerful technique for a better civilisation. Democracy has no meaning if one feels that, ‘if ‘this’ is democracy then ‘communism’ is better’. I think, if we all take care of our responsibilities well and behave in accordance, then that is real democracy. It is just like in your job how do you take the responsibilities and perform your duties and earn a better life, similar is the life case. Democracy is the prize of the prices paid by our ancestors, who always dreamt of a better world and hardly got it. Concerning those old memories and historical events, we must enjoy democracy with responsibilities. When I say democracy is a responsibility, there are several duties for us to perform. Let’s see them one by one. If I could not mention particular responsibilities that does not mean, we should ignore it. All this is true but, politicians influence people and push them to disregard democracy for an obvious political reason. Such politicians can go to any extent to unstable the ruling government. All this is politically motivated. However, being in a democracy the people should understand what’s right. Refrain from spitting, dusting, throwing garbage, When you belong to any country, that country becomes your homeland or motherland. It becomes your house. Even if you do not belong to that country but stay there to earn; that becomes your feeder country. Like mother is the feeder, that country automatically becomes your mother. Now question yourself, will you spit or throw garbage on your mother? Will you spread dirt all over the face and body of your mother? If your answer is ‘yes’, then this earth is not for you. If your answer is ‘no’, then try to keep your country clean. You don’t have to clean the country physically. Only you stop throwing garbage and stop spitting. If each person follows this, the country will be clean in no time. Now, some cunning people will give excuses, and I will counter them like – Please see the resolution mentioned at the end of this blog. Please keep reading till the end. Standing up for the National Anthem Everyone must obey and respect the nation and its national anthem, irrespective of religion, faith, ethnicity, working area etc. We can term the Individuals terrorists or treason who do not respect the national anthem. When visiting other countries whose laws are stringent, the same individuals cowardly follow the rules of those nations. Why? Scared? Isn’t your “so-called” reason above any country’s respect? Fearing of death penalties or imprisonment? Poor cowards. No religion, race, business etc. is above the nation and its law. No one can give reasons like ‘democracy’ or ‘freedom’. If being countrymen we fail to respect ourselves, how will the other nations respect us? They will only joke about our sovereignty. Governments, fail to punish hard such cowards the first time, then these cowards will dare to do it for the rest of their lives. No countrymen will want such terrorists in their country. Even if you are a guest in the country, it is your duty and responsibility to obey the laws of that country. It is your duty to pay respect to the national anthem and other national rituals strictly. For any reason, you cannot pay respect to the national anthem, leave to that country that will tolerate your tantrums. And only then will you find that no country will admit you for this reason. If you are saying that, because of democracy and freedom, you will do whatever you want and pay hardly any respect to the national anthem, then I would say you visit China. China is tracking every move of its countrymen and visitors and the punishments are so hard, that you may wonder why you disrespected national pride. Then you will respect every country and its national anthem going forward. Change your mind and respect every pride of your country. No Religion is above the Nation, its law and its constitution Do not mess with religion and nationality. Religion is something you worship; nation is something that protects your worship. Protector is always in place of God. Some of the reasons you worship is, that the god should protect you from devils, sins, unforeseen events, diseases, outsider threats, your businesses and jobs, your kids etc. It is the country that protects all of these and so it is at the place of God. You probably haven’t seen God physically but he is present in the form of nature and nation. It is not religion that allows you to be in the country but it is the nation that allows you to worship any god of your choice. I can bet that no religious book can save you from all the above-mentioned requirements you have from God. It is the country that will protect all the things including your religious book. History witnesses when Alauddin Khilji a terror attacker and invader in India, burnt the Nalanda University. All the books were burnt and the people who had those books in mind were killed so that the same knowledge could not be created again. Even religious books were there. But no book could save anything. God forbid, but if someone puts a gun on your forehead; the government may help
