The Beginning of Human Life: No Border Line, No Idea of Patriotism
In the beginning, human beings lived on the planet in the form of tribes. People used to light fires with the help of stones and built houses in caves. At that time there was no ideology of any country and no issue of nationality. There was no border line anywhere on earth. The idea of loving the land instead of patriotism was prevalent and the interest of the whole of humanity was more important than any particular nation. And this is the time when social and cultural life was far from the human mind.
Conflict of Interest Between Tribes Cause Advent of Politics
The tribes migrated according to the weather, animal food and water availability on earth. Then came the conflict of interest between the tribes and this was the time when politics began. With the advent of politics, the land began to be divided into different countries and it was these politicians who started inciting hatred among the people living in one country against the people living in another country. Billions of people were killed to create so many countries on earth.
Human Civilization and the Tribal Leaders
At a time in history when human civilization was beginning and a war of benefits was raging between tribes. So among the various tribes, some of the clever people of that time started leading their own tribes. People also had to adopt some strategy to protect their lives and property. Certainly the tribal leaders of that time would have lured the people to follow them by saying that we guarantee you peace and all kinds of basic human rights. This was the beautiful web of words in which people got trapped and this is the situation till today.
Concept of State Encroach on the Rights of the People
The politicians of the old days raised the spirit of a separate country in the minds of the people. And then established their government in this region of the earth. As time went on, politicians began to collect taxes from the people in return for their protection. And so the concept of country or state was founded and different tribes separated their territory by drawing lines on the ground.
The situation was further aggravated when the people of one country, in a war of interests, began to encroach on the rights of the people of another country. In this era, the tribe or country that was powerful would occupy the territory of another tribe or country. The people of the tribe or country who were attacked would be forced to leave their area and go elsewhere.
Battles of the Tribes and Slogan of Patriotism
The leaders of that time must have played a very important role in the battles of the tribes of that time. Regardless of how many politicians have passed from the beginning of history to the present day, some of them use politics for the service and welfare of the people. But on the other hand, it is also true that most politicians, by inventing the slogan of patriotism, incited the people of their country against other countries and as a result, man faced many wars.
Politics with Honesty and Sincerity is Worship
There is no doubt that if politics is done with honesty, sincerity and good intentions then it is worship. And these are the attributes, also called permanent values, that led to the beginning of politics. And this is about the age of human civilization when no country had yet come into existence on this earth and the people were scattered on the earth in the form of tribes. The leaders of that time began to lead their own tribes.
As the war between the different tribes escalated, the importance of the politicians of that time increased. People began to trust the politicians and the implementation of the politicians' orders began. The leader of each tribe started working for the betterment of his tribe.
Benefits of Own Tribe instead of All People of the World
The leaders of each tribe started politics to infringe on the rights of the people of other tribes for the benefit of their own tribe. And from here politics took the first wrong turn that the interests of a particular tribe, class, country or nation began to be cherished. Rather, the principle of politics should have been to respect the basic rights of all human beings on this earth and to ensure the provision of these rights to all the people of the world.
Formation of Armies and the Race for Weapons
The leaders of each tribe began to formulate rules for living together. The rights and duties of the people began to be determined. And every citizen of the state had to follow these rules to live in that state. The leaders of each state began to form armies to protect their own state from the attacks of other states, and the race to build weapons for war began around the world.
National Treasury and Politicians’ Authority
Now the situation was that the people of the state earned money by working hard and gave some of it to the politicians or the government in return for their security. Thus the term national treasury was laid and politicians were given full authority to use this treasury for the welfare and protection of the people. Politicians used the wealth of the people relentlessly and besides protecting the people, they also started using the wealth of the people for their own glory.
Sabotaging Human Rights for National Domination
Leaders or politicians first began to guide people by dividing them into groups and in this guidance they were taught to love only their country or nation and to hate the rest of the world or people. Our nation and our country is the best and the rest of the people in the world can't be good? How is it fair in politics that I love my nation and country and hate other nations and countries of the world? But the bitter truth of history tells us that different countries or nations have always sabotaged human rights in order to dominate other countries and nations.
The Distance Between Leaders and Citizens
Secondly, politicians also started doing injustice to the people of their country. Politicians began to consider themselves superior and the distance between the people and the leaders began to widen. Be it the old-time leaders or the believer in democracy, parliamentary or monarchy, politics is a part of them all. And humanity trembles at the thought of the steps that are taken in politics as a matter of duty.
Birth of Legislation, Judiciary, and Administration
As the consciousness of the people increased, people became aware of the reality of their leaders or kings, how they fool them and rule over them. Then there were many wars between the people and the leaders and then the government was divided into three parts - legislation, judiciary and administration.
The government was divided into three parts, the legislature, the judiciary and the administration, so that power would not remain in the hands of a single person or class. Monarchy has been replaced by democracy and now the fate of the nation is in the hands of a group of leaders. And at present in most of the countries of the world the democratic system of government is prevalent.
Understanding Democracy
According to politicians around the world, a democratic system of government is the solution to all problems. They say that this system of government can give humanity its rightful place. Different people have different definitions of democracy but we try to express it in simple language.
Imposing the Will of More People on the Lesser
Democracy means imposing the will of more people on the will of lesser people. Suppose there are 10 million people living in a country and these people vote and elect 100 representatives. Now when the representatives go to the assembly and make any kind of legislation, do they go to ask the people what is their opinion about it? Never ! On the contrary, the representatives believe that the people have given us full authority to do whatever we want. Politicians go to the homes of ordinary people just to get votes and are not seen again after winning.
Questioning the Logic of Majority Rule
Every party involved in the election campaign always presents itself better and rival parties are criticized. So it becomes difficult for the common man to distinguish between right and wrong. The results show that party A has got more votes and has won while party B and C have lost the election. It is also possible that both the parties B and C, which lost the election, are honest and the winning party is corrupt.
Wasting the Hard-Earned Wealth of the People
In a democratic system of government, it is often the case that the ruling party rules and the opposition tries to create problems for it. So that the ruling party fails to solve the problems and the people do not trust them. In fact, in the battle between the government and the opposition, only the hard-earned wealth of the people is wasted.
Let someone just explain to me the logic that the will of most people will be perfect, what is the guarantee of that? If a party with the highest number of votes passes a law out of self-interest or out of ignorance that stealing is not a crime, will this be a right?
Leaders Who Changed the World
The history of the world is replete with great leaders who have worked hard to deliver basic human rights. Thanks to them, many people today have access to basic necessities of life and a good place in society. But on the other hand, it is also true that there have been some leaders on this earth who have done things that have shaken humanity.
