Contrast between European form of republic and Indian form of Republic

Professor Rameshwar Mishra Pankaj 

     With a growing influence of British rule in some parts of India intellectual efforts started to be mounted to promote Christian Missionary in a very organised manner in the country initially political pressure and economic Temptation were the main tools which failed after which they started intellectual efforts and they had been working in a very planned manner to make the followers of Hindu culture feel humiliated and for this Indian history and Indian Hindu scriptures were presented in a bad light and they had formed false stories and concepts and ideas about the reality of Hinduism and this foreign forces mainly highlighted the state structure of India and certain floors of Indian society behind which their main Policy was to hide the flaws of British and European societies which is based on deformities and cruelties that educated people of India might not take notice of those deformities of Western societies and this Idea worked and they succeeded greatly. 
    The main thing is that during the rule of Napoleon Bonaparte first there was no Nation state in Europe and Britain and Sweden and Italy and Turkey and Egypt had not emerged as a nation state and Napoleon Bonaparte was the combined king of France and Germany and Italy and she was also going to become the king of Britain but due to using the resources of India the British Navy had become very powerful and the British could not get defeated by the soldiers of Napoleon Bonaparte and even Napoleon Bonaparte also with the help of Tipu Sultan tried to have influence in India and Russian Tzar han withdrawn support from Napoleon which made him weak and  distracted in defeating Napoleon Bonaparte. Therefore it is quite clear that bi 1821 Britain was not a nation state but it was propagated among Indians that Britain had become a nation state and western educated Indians believe it and they also tried to propagate among Indians that India does not have the qualities to become a nation state because the rulers of India did not have complete control on the life of their people and India also lack the idea of having complete control on people's political thinking.
     Due to this kind of pressure Jesus College and Oxford College emerged as a Centre where affluent Indian for higher studies one of them was Mr Kashi Prasad Jayaswal who had written a book called Hindu polity in which he has mentioned that India had a very ancient tradition of political thinking and in ancient time India also had many republics and other Scholars also continued their research in this direction and the main thing that emerged was ignored mostly by large number of people that even in Europe republics came into existence in the third decade of the 20th century and they are not more than 100 years old and 100 years from now there was not any  Republic in Europe and the so called ancient republics they were nothing more than Society of some traders and simple powers and this forces together to the Seasons In The City governments of Europe and United Kingdom officially declared a nation state in 1922 and woman in Britain got right to vote in 1928 before which the women had struggled a lot for voting rights for so many decades and the movement of 1914 in this regard is very famous and emmeline pankhurst was the woman who was arrested for presenting a memorandum to seek voting rights at Buckingham Palace.
     But many people are unaware of these facts specially average Indian educated people and they think that England and European countries had been nation-states and Republic for many centuries it is a fact that Britain became a nation state only 175 years ago but it is still not a Republic because they have Parliamentary democracy and monarchy as a part of their government system their National Anthem is god save the queen and they have constitutional monarchy in the country as the form of Government of Britain and even today United Kingdom is emission state under constitutional monarchy when they have rocking as their Supreme authority then he is the head of protestant Church and this way United Kingdom is basically a religious country e even then many educated Indians consider Britain as a Republic.
All the concepts of Republic in Europe they came into existence in 19 century second half and the main feature of this concept is that Republic is a system of governance in which the supreme authority lies with the people but the definition of the people is very disputed for example in the early 20th century women were not counted among the people because it was felt that women did not have soul and they are only alive similarly in the United States of America just 200 years ago Negro and black people were never counted among the people of the United States of America. But now the negroes also are considered as the people. 
    Since the citizens were not able to have control over the government directly and direct rule of people was not possible to be established therefore they started electing their representatives for different government bodies and this way a representative ruler was elected but these days the meaning of the word Republic is that the representative of the people is that you'll government order not any king or queen and this election takes place according to the provisions of the Constitution of respective European countries and in this common sense India is also a Republic but in certain matters the republic of India is quite different from any other Republic of the world.
The first difference which is that rulers are elected for assembly and Parliament and this way they are elected representatives of the government but the real power lies in the hands of the administrative system in India and it does not have any concern with ancient traditions of the country and the situation is different from other countries of the world Ud because in England the administrative system is controlled by the protestant church and they are mainly loyal to the British Crown therefore protestant Church is the backbone of national unity of Britain and equation also applied in different countries of Europe like France and Germany and Spain and Portugal and Sweden and Switzerland. 
   It is universal truth that man has conscience therefore their fate mainly influences their conscience and this main different types of paints does not allow unity and brotherhood among different administrative people and situation in Indian Republic gives birth to conflict in the society.
The solution to it lies in the tradition of knowledge of India but in the modern system of governance no such solution is available and ancient tradition of India says that there is one Universal religion all human beings which is based on the truth Yagya and Dharma. Description about it is found in structures and everybody must pursue them and if we accept the foundation of Dharma then conflict in Faith is business because finally all faith comprehensively and universally are guided by one discipline of Duty but at present this situation does not exist however our constitution is not against it and under this the Parliament of India can prepare a Universal rule for all the citizens of the country and diesel fundamental rules could be asked to be followed by everyone but it has not yet been done and until it is done on all faiths will continue to be in conflict and new challenges will keep appearing on the surface. 
   Above this the Congress rulers went against the basic principle of the Constitution of India and they took many administrative and legal steps in which the most unfortunate has been that the government according to the Congress governments has got no responsibility towards the religious majority community but only religious minorities to be covered under the policies of the government which is totally against the basic principle of the Constitution of India. On one hand all the citizens of the country have got to be given equality in the eyes of the government in terms of following their faith what the people of religious majority community did not get any protection from religious appeasement of religious minority in the country which is against the fundamental principle of the constitution and searched search steps taken by the rulers of the religious community of Indian Republic has given birth to so many problems in the country. 
   The second important thing is that here we have and elected executive power which is of permanent nature and the executive fundamentally cannot be unified with the help of only one faith of religion on the other hand the elected executive in its shape is precarious in its nature and it is also fact that elected executive is the supreme authority to take policy decisions but those policy decisions cannot be ensured through a clear process and Ud pursuing the decisions and compliance lies totally with elected executive and doors who are selected for government services and they actually run the executive power are in their position for 40 years but those who are elected in the elections have a time period of just five years and in this situation the elected executive and the selected executive officers in the government jobs hardly work in tandem. 
Many times elected executive members get settled down with their government related responsibilities during which it takes at least six months and in the last 6 months of their power there are greater chances of uncertainty in terms of their return to power and in the situation the government officials are the real executive and elective executives get only four yes in power and this way bureaucracy has greater influence on the functioning of the Government and if elected representative of the government are not well qualified and well trained in execution of Administrative responsibilities then for them it is not possible to have proper control over the bureaucracy E and the Bureaucracy is basically responsible to either the president of the country and this way they enjoy fast adventure Ti power and they are hardly under control especially if elected representatives are not trained then they become totally dependent upon duratex and this badly effects the interest of Indian society as a democracy because the elected representatives are basically responsible to the Indian society and Indian tradition in this situation the powers outside India influence the bureaucrats and they used the executive power of India in their favour which to go against our national interest which is the biggest challenge for Indian republic and we should this is our honorable Parliament is capable of taking decisions in such matters.
