Stability or continuity in the progressive policies and actions of the government and people is possible only in a suitable political, economic and social system. We cannot except to achieve the highest levels of civilized life and cannot take ourselves to the heights of progress if we do not have suitable and favourable political, economic and social conditions inside the country.
The best political system is that in which the people can have the best leaders elected by them from time to time. These leaders should be able to form the government. And, this government should be able to work for a definitre period of time, say four or five years, undisturbed by any change if it functions well. Now, this kind of political system is the president one, the more than acceptable and popular in the whole world and which has successfully worked in the US for more than 200 years. In this system, the President is elected for a definite period, and he appoints his own ministers or secretaries. He works in close association with the Congress (the two houses elected by the people). In this arrangement he can pursue (follow) his policies for some years and the Congress cannot remove him through a vote of no-confidence as the House of Representatives of the British Parliament or the lower house of our Parliament or the Indian Parliament can remove the Prime Minister. Because of our long connections (associations) with the British, we adopted the parliamentary system.
Our blind adoption of the parliamentary system following India in its footsteps amounted to throwing dust into the eyes of the intellectuals and poor people. This has caused the present most ugly situation in the assemblies with the compnents of the coalition (an offshot of the ignominious parliamentary system) at loggerheads (in disagreement) over the judges issue and other matters.
In the presidential political system looks more suitable , when can it work well in our country? it can work smoothly on some conditions which is fulfilled, will give rise to political stability, social equality and economic justice at the same time.
First of all, the people as a whole should be educated well. The literacy rate will have to be raised to around 95 per cent so that the people can not only read and write, but have reasonable knowledge and understanding of the basic sciences and arts. The common people will have to be made quite fully conscious of the political, social, economic, military and religious truths and realities so that they may be able to understand the abilities and capacities of the candidates for the assemblies and ocal bodies.
Secondly, the feudal system should be completely broken up and abolished in the country. No big landowner or landlord in the villages should be allowed to own so large farms as they do today. The villagers, then, will be able to study independently and think rightly and vote judiciously )with good judgement).
It is, then, quite clear that we need a just (equitable) political, economic and social system in the country in which decocracy can grow and develop (can flourish). It is entirely wrong to say that the country at present has any kind of suitable system of life, which can bring about a big social change for the betterment of the people. And, likewise, it is foolish to claim that we have a democracy comparable to the true democracies in the worlds today like the Amercican, British, French, Canadian, Australian and Japanese.
