[Reader-list] FW: Gujarat Governor returns bill on voting

[Bipin Trivedi]

Dear Rakesh,

 

Your mail is always pretty long, not to the point. Most of the explanation
is aware by all which you can avoid.

 

My point of un-democratic way means to elaborate that governors acting as
puppet of central rule. As per law, they have full right to sent it back
once, but if acted with their own instinct rather than political bosses'
guidance than only it is consider as democratic. Actually governor post as
such is useless and should be removed. This is different issue. Don't
misunderstand this view point for Gujarat only, I am writing this in
general.

 

The problem arises here when no one understands the broader prospects of
duty. In spite of progress, India leg behind in efficiency, discipline,
humanity because of their failure to perform duty honestly and sincerely.
Apart from their job duty, one must show alertness towards their duty for
family, society, village/town/city, state, nation and by that way contribute
to strengthen the democracy. One side you said that it is right certainly
for people to vote, but not considering it as duty! To franchise vote is one
kind of job or duty only all citizen should perform. When the employee
working in the office and perform his duty, it is his right to get
remuneration for his job/duty or those who want right to get remuneration
must perform their job/duty. Same way, citizen has right to enjoy the fruit
of democracy and right to franchise their vote must perform their duty to go
to polling booth and fulfill it. Else, if he fails in his duty his franchise
right can be taken back or restrict their right or punishable. Same as if
someone does not work, loses his right of remuneration or punishable or
loses his job. On one side you agree that voting percentage should increase,
but don't want to make any effort towards it. It is not true that education
can increase voting percentage. If you can make survey, you will find
non-voters are mainly educated only.

 

Who are not voting since independence or not voted for majority of time for
whatever reason has no right to argue  that Indian democracy has failed,
since they did not participated in democratic process. when you want freedom
of speech/act, must show accountability in return by way of performing
franchise right or duty, else you must give up your freedom.

 

At least thanks for agreeing point that central government has larger power
than it should have. Central government holding powers is also hindrance in
the progress and they must decentralize their power and states should make
more autonomous and for that reason also governor post is useless. Governors
are modern kingdom, they are doing nothing, but enjoying the expensive
facilities of kingdom and wasting precious tax payers' money.

 

Thanks

Bipin
