The Unity and Polity of India.

Looking at the issues concerning Rajasthan at the present, I believe, that the Government, by which is inferred the Union as well as the State Government, has to take some serious tasks on hand concerning Social Issues. The fact is, Robin Hood, took from the rich and gave the poor, but he had no moral and social jurisdiction, or justification. Whenever a member of a powerful section of society is disadvantaged, his family is indirectly affected,too. How can one justify, depriving those who have, and giving to those who do not have? The answer is not depriving those who have, and assisting those who do not have. We have the globe, and history as precedents. India must take the world as an example to herself, in the manner of all the positives that she can derive, from all the various public and social institutions. Why cannot India, for instance, combine the positive functionings of The United States, Great Britain, and The Chinese models of Government, and learn from all the positive experiences of the other nations of the world, in this regard? For example, at the state level, we might have a colligiate system of election, as in the United States, and in the center, have direct elections, to the Lower House of Parliament. We can learn from the Chinese model of government, the lesson of Government not being influenced by forces extraneous to the functioning of government. Or we can combine all three models, in the legislature of the Union and State Governments. Now, all the sections of society are powerful. We cannot take from a number of people, and give to another equal number of people. Perhaps, the government can call a number of prominent representatives from each section of society, and formulate a new policy for the people of India. What people must realise, is that at any given time, a person does not perceive himself as intelligent as another, in excess, all the time, nor is the income of all the citizens of any nation, equal to the last paisa. It is because of this reason, that there are millionaires and paupers constituting the polity of a nation.
