[Xmca-l] The time to redefine democracy.

[Harshad Dave]

Hi All,

Here I have attached one chit of a jpg image of news in our local daily
newspaper named “Divya Bhaskar”. Divya Bhaskar means “Devine Sun”. The news
appeared on 23rd June 2020 at the last page of the paper. As such the image
may not be useful to you as it is in native language, but I translate the
news here below,

There are three title lines. The first one with smaller fonts and second
and third lines are with bigger fonts in the title of the news.

The lines are read…,

Top Line : “The pitiful end of extra-marital relations.”

Second and third lines of the title are read…..

“Committing the suicide taking poison by married lovers near Dumad
Chowkadi.”

[Here Chowkdi means two highway crossings and Dumad is the name of the
village near to the crossing, so it is Dumad crossing].

Now translation of the text reads….

“By crime reporter: Vadodara”

“Married lover birds quaffed poisonous liquid in the vicinity of the temple
of Kalikamata (One Goddess) near Dumad crossing near to the city Vadodara.
Both of them died in this mishap at Sayaji hospital while the treatment was
in progress. The deceased lover (lady) was from Padara village and she was
a mother of two kids. The male lover was from Chhani village and he was a
father of five kids as per the information from police department.

As per information from police, the male Vikram Machhi of age 26 years was
living in Chhani village, Vadodara. He fell in love with a lady named Hema
Mali of Padara village. Both managed to meet at Domad crossing on Sunday
morning and there they quaffed poisonous drug (chemical). They both were
shifted to Sayaji hospital for treatment immediately after the happening of
the mishap. The lady Hema died at 10 pm in the night. Vikram (the man) died
late night at 2 am during the treatment. As per the information from police
Vikram was making his living as a casual labor and he owned (was father of)
five kids, while as his lover Hema had two kids of her own. Recently Vikram
carried her from Padara (her village) to his home, however, his (Vikram’s)
inability to maintain her (at his home) due to presence of his wife, both
quaffed poison near Dumad crossing.”

NB: Yellow part is an advertisement and not concerning to our discussion.

Now, there are hundreds of socio philosophical vital aspects of the above
mishap-news on which serious debating and exchange of views might be held.
However, I just take only one aspect for discussion and the issue is one of
the most sensitive issues that we face today in our society. Such mishaps
have a link with the issue. I shall adhere to realities and facts of life
based on natural laws while discussing this issue.

Though I believe that emotions, feelings, humanitarian sentiments, mercy,
pity and so many such qualities and characteristics of men/women are
strongly attached to our ethical comprehensions and I am not against it.
However, when we analyze critical social issues, the knife of realities and
facts, and our scrutiny founded on shrewdness of natural laws remain more
promising to reveal the most intricate anatomy of the subject issue. So I
always suspend those qualities temporarily from my mind while contemplating
on such issues.

*The Issue of discussion:*

If you go through the above news, you will notice that Vikram is a man of
26 years and he has five kids. He falls in love with another married woman
with her own two kids.

Now it is a fact that the natural system gives full freedom to all
creatures to produce kids as maximum as they are able to. However, the
natural system (wild life system) has a system that curbs the population
strength of any species by destroying a proportionate part of the
population strength. Here, our human social system does not have such
facility and the natural system does not apply in human society under the
protective coverage of discoveries and inventions.

We say and confirm that our social system breaths through the lungs of
economics. We accept the fact that every increment in population strength
raises a burden on the social economic system. We find people in our
society, who control the family strength (in numbers) with their wit and
wisdom to secure a better living standard for them, at the same time, their
control on family strength helps the economy of the society. But, all
people are not the same in the same society under one roof.

The issue is…..

If a terrorist blasts a bomb in a public place, it harms the society in
different ways and his/her act is not acceptable to any society where
civilized people rule.

If a person produces n numbers of kids without his ability to nourish them
and throws them on the society where he lives in, I think, he inflicts more
harm than that of the terrorist could inflict.

If we manage and administer our social system with a productive system of
the 21st century and social ruling infrastructure symbolized by "democracy"
of the 18th century, we will only pile up and dump new issues only.

Now it is the time we must redefine "democracy".

*“To what extent do you agree with me?”*
