Ram Rajaya in India

Ram rajaya in India.
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

Shri Ram Chandar ji had been a raja of a state, but at the same time He has been recognized as a prophet i.e. Avtara by the Hindus and they worship Him as God. The whole life story of Shri Ram Chandra is available in Ramayana and it is on record that people of India play this drama each year with respect and with devotion.
The Hindus have got so many temples in which they have established tri-murti of Rama, seta and Lakhshman and people from Hindus side visit these temples daily and recite their prayers and they believe that God Himself is present before them and therefore, they also believe that all their demands contained in their prayers shall be accepted by God and they shall get all they have demanded in their prayers.
Much information is not available in the Ramayana about the administrative set up during the rule of Rama, but we all believe that the administration might had been the best administration because we can never believe that Rama could commit a mistake in the administration. We believe that the people in Ram rajaya might have been happy, they might have been getting proper education, proper training and proper adjustment in life and they might have been earning proper income and they might had been running good family administration. We believe that there was no poverty, no beggar, no unemployment, no man was living without a house, no may was lying under the open skies and all were having all he necessities of life at their home. These are the beliefs in us and that is the reason when Mahatma Gandhi gave us a call that we shall be establishing Ram Rajaya after attaining independence, we all joined war of independence and we started going to jails, bearing police torture, were hanged, were gunned down and even deported to kalepaani and only then we attained independence. But the man who had been promising us Ram rajaya was not allowed to answer us what is Ram Rajaya and that is the reason, the people who took over from the British could not explain us the concept of Ram Rajay nor they were committed to establish Ram Rajaya. So the people of India are not having any knowledge about Ram Rajaya nor they shall compare this administration with Ram Rajaya nor they would commit such a sin, because calling the present administration like Ram Rajaya shall be contempt of the concept of Ram Rajaya which was in the mind of Mahatma Gandhi.
The people of India could get independence after great sacrifices. It is on record that at least 8,00,000 people were killed during this partition of 1947 and about 11,00,00,000 were forced to migrate to unknown places and this could be designated as the biggest upheaval recorded in history books so far and there are records that so many people had been killed with guns, so many people were hanged, so many people were given life terms in jails and so many people were deported to kalepaani. The people got an opportunity to rule wrote of all these sacrifices and started writing their own names in all the records. Similarly they forgot all about the promises of Mahatma Gandhi and none of his promises has been kept in mind and followed by the people who took over administration from the British.
None shall explain to the people of India what is the concept of Ram Rajaya nor they would bring Ram rajaya in this country. In spite of lapse of six decades all those problems of the people which were in existence prior to independence are still available with the people and some of those problems have turned more complicated and complex and now the people on government seats are telling the people that such problems are also available in those countries which call themselves as advanced countries. This is not the right answer because India is a rich country when it has mountains, rivers, jungles, minerals, fertile lands, hard working people, coals, irons, gases, petroleum and others which are the basics for planned development in the country. But there had been something wrong with us and we had not been sending right and competent people to the seats of power and that is the reason, they could not identify and exploit all the natural resources. Most of the natural resources are still unidentified and most of the natural resources which could be seen with naked eyes are still unexploited and utilized for the welfare of the people of this country. On the other hand the people in power started collecting money and having more power and for that purpose they had been inventing new methods of scams, scandals, muddles, bribes, corruption, commissions, dalalis and it is on record that all those who had been in the chair have turned rich and more powerful and now they have formed a class and they do not allow new entries. Because of these starts, we the people of India had been under family rule, under party dictatorship and individual dictatorship and though these items are foreign to democracy, yet we have to face all these concepts because the people in power never allowed us to attain real democracy.
Since governing people are always functioning with the same spirit, we should never expect good governments from them. They function on the same lines as in olden days rajas, maharajas, nawabs, monarchs and the imperialists had been functioning and they never care for the people. They want to retain power and for that purpose in view , they can do anything they like and they would not care that the action shall do some injustice to the people and it would cause some damages to the people. Had Mahatma Gandhi been alive and had he given the name of Ram Rajaya to the present establishment, the people would have scolded at him. He could get freedom from the people because he was not in a position to give a suitable reply to the people of India because it has become very difficult to define the present set up in India. Is it a family rule, is is a party dictatorship, is it a raj of a raja, or of a maharaja, or of a monarch or we are still governed by the imperialists, because all is going on the same lines as had been established during the days of slavery. The people in power do not want that the people should come out of slavery because once they are alive and awaken, they would not allow these people to rule over them and they shall bring and establish some new type of government which shall be different from all types known in the books of political science.
The people living in countries other than India should not be proud of the fact that they are having a better government. There could be a proportionate difference and not total difference. People in power are having the same spirit in all the countries and they were having the same spirit in all the times in history.They would not change their spirit because they know that when shall start thinking that they are public servants, they shall lose all the lust which they have now and none is ready to convert himself from a ruler to a public servant.
