Political Responsibility


Just three hundred years ago, founding fathers of America talked about separation of power; responsibility; delegation; federal, state and local governments.

In ancient India, they built a wonderful system.

  • Brahma - the creator
  • Vishnu - the protector
  • Siva - the destroyer
In software technology, you may talk about constructor and destructor. Our ancestors had understood the need for a destroyer.

Absolutely clear separation of power. All three have political responsibility; political authority; and they are accountable for their actions.

Then they have,
  • Saraswathi - education
  • Lakshmi - wealth
  • Parvathi - courage
No confusion at all. Clear separation of responsibilities.

They did have local governments too.
  • Meenakshi ruled the Madurai
  • Kamatchi - for Kanchi
  • Vishalakshi - for Kasi
In the above political structure, do you see any one having;
  • Economic Responsibility
  • Economic Authority
  • Economic Accountability
Some how, this generation is totally confused. Why do they run after economic development. If they are busy in building economical wealth, then who would manage the political responsibility of the nation.

People elected leaders have,
  • Political Responsibility
  • Political Authority
  • Political Accountability
Our political leaders running away from their political commitment.

In ancient Indian system, as well as in literature, there is nothing great about economic development. Business system was there; even in that business also, they preached high moral value.
  • economy
  • capitalism
  • socialism
  • corruption
These theories were invented and promoted by Adam Smith & Karl Marx.

So, this is the order of emergence of the subjects:
  • politics
  • economics
  • management
"End of Economic Men," was the first book, Peter Drucker published. When the whole Europe adopted Karl Marx, Peter Drucker saw the false in that system and highlighted.

Then, Peter Drucker studied General Motors and published the book, "Concept of the Corporation."

The reviewers said, this book covers the political structure of an organization; but it doesn't qualify to be considered as a politics subject.

The reviewers also said, this book covers the economical part of an organization; but it doesn't qualify to be considered as an economics subject.

Then they said, this may be a new discipline; that is how the 'management' was born.

So, Amitabh Bachchan,  Rajinikant, Kamalhasan have responsibility in film arts.

Narayana Murthy, Tata, Birla, Ambani have responsibility in business development.

Gavaskar, Sachin and other sports persons have responsibility for sports development.

Political leaders have political responsibility and responsible for political development.

Sachin cannot sing and dance in movies.
Rajinikant cannot score 264 in one day match.
Narayana Murthy cannot take responsibility for Chattisgarh  tragedy.

All professions are dignified ones.

When a barber, takes his instruments on hand; the barber checks the cleanliness; sharpness of the instruments; with passion.

Highly educated doctors; lost all their senses; couldn't even verify the instruments; drugs; and other conditions.

Dear Political Leaders, please listen.

Nobody is going to question you about the profit and loss account of Indian nation. Nobody is going to blame you for the heavy loss in the budget or nation's balance sheet.

You have no economic responsibility.

All you have is, political responsibility. 

The obvious highlighted political issues of India:
  • Chattisgarh tragedy
  • Voice vote of confidence in the Maharashtra assembly
  • Frequent election such as, Delhi
The rest of the world asks simple question:

You could place a satellite in its orbit in Mars; but you cannot do a simple medical surgical operation.
