GOVERNANCE

ADMINISTRATION, GOVERNANCE
A system is one in which:
a) the society exercises its control over anti- social elements, and b) society functions smoothly. 1) A self evolved, long-term, self-regulated group of people is called as a society.
2) Anti-socials are those whose acts are hostile to the tenets of the society.
3) A nation is not an independent unit. It is an amalgamation of societies. A nation is bound by geography, a society is not. In fact, societies transcend national boundaries. Due to a systemic breakdown of social structure and faulty definitions, a situation has arisen today in which nation has become bigger than the society.
4) Nationalism helps maintain order whereas jingoism does not. Jingoism is also a hindrance for a world order.
5) Jingoism can neither differentiate between- A) Justice and kinship, B) Violence and Non-violence, C) Nation and the world, -nor strike a balance amidst them.
6) In India, the state has declared itself to be the nation. Governmentization is called nationalization. In reality, nation is part of the society and state should act as a facilitator for the society.
CONSTITUTION
1) To usher in a systemic approach, the society formulates a concrete unit. This unit is called as The government or The state.
2) The system belongs to the society. The State is only the implementing agent.
3) The document that defines the maximum scope of interference, authority and duties of The state is called as the Constitution.
4) Constitution and Laws are different. Constitution defines the maximum authority of The State and the minimum authority of The Society, whereas laws define The Society’s maximum and The State’s minimum rights.
5) Society represents the whole world and the state represents the society. For this reason, the whole world needs one constitution and one government. Due to the unstable form of societies, States have declared themselves as societies. This will only be a transitional phase.
6) Any constitution has two qualities that make it a balanced document: A) isn’t too elastic so as to make governments wild, and B) isn’t too rigid that governments fail to function.
7) The only benchmark of a constitution’s success is the guarantee given by the government to the security of its citizens’ fundamental right. As for the case of moral turpitude, the blame squarely lies at the constitution’s altar.
8) There are only two reasons for moral degradation. Harsh control over the society which makes administrators wild; or absence of control by administrators due to which citizenry goes wild.In the Indian context both the above reasons hold true under different scenarios.It is illogical and comical to blame implementers rather than the document. It is like a doctor of a mental facility bemoaning that patients do not listen to him. The constitutions’ very existence is meant to leash people of immoral character. If everyone was to behave lawfully, what is the need for a constitution? Constitution is meant to protect the good against the sly.
9) The present constitution has failed due to: a) Stress on welfare rather than on crime control, b) foggy language, double imports leading to multiple interpretations, c) Recognition to classes, d) Exaggeratedly idealistic format, e) Refusal to accept family as a constitutional unit, f) Enumeration of The State’s role as of custodian instead of manager.
10) The entity which is a balance of the executive, the legislature and the judiciary is called as The State/Government/System.
11) In a democracy all the three complement each other in addition to providing checks and balances amongst themselves.In case this triad, instead of self balancing, begins accumulation of power and competing amongst each other, the system gets weakened. If this trend continues over a period of time, democracy’s credibility is eroded.In India, the three arms of the state are competing in the sphere of power accumulation.
12) The job of the legislature is to guide the executive from within the perimeter of the constitution.The legislature, under no circumstance can violate the borders framed by the constitution.The brief of the constitution is to control the legislature.
13) Resultantly, the authority to amend the constitution cannot be vested in the legislature. This is a grave error.In India, the legislature has misused this error to further its agenda on innumerable occasions.
14) The subject matter of a constitution is a sociological matter, so sociologists must arrive at content conclusions. The language of a constitution is a political issue, so politicians can formulate its language.Sadly, both the content and the language of Indian constitution were decided by politicians. Sociologists were not consulted. Even tall men like Gandhi, who represented a harmony between sociology and politics, were sidelined.Due to this, the parliament was accorded the status of Custodian rather than a more logical status of Manager. Furthermore, this custodianship was enacted for perpetuity which smacks of a conspiracy. We, the people of India are unto this day serving that sentence.The sociologists of this nation need to brain storm and arrive at some conclusions.
15) The constituent assembly displayed exemplary partiality in making The State unilaterally powerful. Its high time sociologists come together and redefine the boundaries of the state and the society.

The Architecture of Eclipses

Architecture of Eclipses  T here is a distinct, unwritten law governing the intersection of two wandering souls: t hey rarely meet when their lives are perfectly still. They catch each other either in mid-flight or mid-fall. A generation and countless years ago, Seo-jun’s world was a roaring, crowded royal court on the Korean peninsula. He had climbed his respective mountains, accumulated the heavy architecture of state success, and found himself standing under the blinding, suffocating spotlights of public scrutiny. Every day was a match played under immense pressure; every word spoken was weighed by spectators and ministers. In the middle of that noisy brilliance, the Royal Astronomer was secretly starving for raw spontaneity. Then came Matteo. He was a brilliant young Cartographer from the Mediterranean, carrying maps of trade routes and uncharted waters. To Seo-jun, the young foreigner was a celestial godsend. When he entered Seo-jun's orbit, Matteo was navigating the treache...

From A Fragmented Sky ......

 ...... to  The Unified Masterpiece     There are millions of living species on Earth, all foraging for energy and security. To obtain them, they either live lifelong in one place—like Sweden’s ancient spruce—or undertake great migrations like the salmon. The purpose remains identical: survival through energy and security. Humans are just one species in this tapestry. We are unique, certainly, but like a single dot on a vast circle, we are not inherently superior.      What sets us apart is our UPPF quotient: Upbringing, Psychology, Profession, and Fantasy.     In our formative years, we experience a distinct Upbringing shaped by guardians, stories, religion, and cultural exposure. This leaves a permanent Psychological imprint on our personalities, forming our baseline attachment styles and cognitive maps. Eventually, education steers us toward a Profession—whether by choice or compulsion. This UPP trifecta dictates our everyday behavior, dec...

Epitaph = मुमुक्षा = Power Decentralization

मुमुक्षा = Power Decentralization आदि शंकराचार्य ने हर चैतन्य के 5 चरित्र बताए 1. सत् = न मरने की इच्छा 2. चित् = नया ज्ञान हासिल की इच्छा 3. आनंद = सुख की इच्छा 4. मुमुक्षा = स्वतंत्र होने की इच्छा 5. ऐषणा = दूसरे पर प्र ​ भाव डालने की इच्छा     पहला सत् या जीवन -लंबे समय तक सभी मनुष्यों को प्राप्त नहीं था क्योंकि समाज में मत्स्य न्याय के चलते ताकतवर कमजोरों को मार देते थे, जैसे राक्षस या हिटलर मारते थे । समय के साथ आज अपवादों को छोड दें तो औसत मानवता को सत् मिल गया है, जीवन जीने का हक़ मिल गया है।     दूसरा चित् या ज्ञान भी लंबे समय तक लोगों को उपलब्ध नहीं था, समाज में कुछ ही लोग गुरु होते थे, बाकी सब जानकारी हेतु गुरु पर निर्भर। पहले 15 वीं सदी में प्रिंटिंग प्रेस के चलते और आज सूचना क्रांति के बाद ज्ञान सर्वसुलभ हो गया है, हर किसी के फोन में दुनिया भर का ज्ञान मौजूद है।     तीसरा, आनंद के लिए भौतिक वस्तुओं की, धन की जरूरत होती थी, पर दास प्रथा आदि के चलते बडी आबादी दरिद्र होती थी। 21वीं सदी आते आते दरिद्रता अपवाद रह गई है और बेसिक आनंद के लिए आवश्यक धन क...
