Philosophy quote
On politics and political philosophy
(Extracts from my Hindi novel ‘sangharsh se udaan tak’)
जीव प्रकृति में यह निहित है कि वह राजा/रानी तो बनने की सोच सकता है परन्तु अपने ऊपर किसी दूसरे का शासन या अपने जीवन में दूसरे का दखल सहन नहीं कर सकता।
इसी स्वतंत्रता की इच्छा ने राजनीति को बदला है और लोकतंत्र को जन्म दिया है । यही इच्छा शक्ति एक दिन समस्त राजनीति को समाप्त कर देगी।
राजनीति करनी नहीं होती, खत्म करनी होती है।
Every man or woman may want to become a king or a queen respectively but no one ever wants to be ruled by anyone or want interference by someone in one’s own life.
This tendency to remain free and seek freedom has been responsible for evolution of political systems and emergence of democracy. This same tendency will one day end all politics from society.
Politics is not supposed to be done. It is supposed to be brought an end to.
(We may require governance for common needs, relations for sharing our emotional needs but none of us want to be ruled.)
