| Summary, etc | It is more important to capture the essence of true democracy contained in Indian traditional political wisdom than to go for the present operative part of modern democracy. The essence of democracy lies in peace, non-violence, dutifulness and welfare of all. Indian religious epics like Bhagavad Gita. Mahabharat and classic discourses like Arthshastra have prescribed the benevolent state as ideal state. Similarly, the statesmen like Gandhi have pleaded for these values as most suitable for Indian socio-economic and political milieu. Gandhi is known as a ‘practical idealist’. But today entire world is facing democratic deficit evident from the prevalent inequality, violence, hatred and imbalance between interests of socio-economic classes and corporate sector. In such situation it becomes an urgent imperative to trace the relevance and necessity of Indian traditional wisdom reflected in Gita and ideas of Gandhi for the statecraft, suitable to the working of Indian democracy. As such the present paper, based on descriptive analysis of secondary data, intends to underline the relevance of our traditional values and ethics reflected in Gita and Gandhi’s ideas to the working of Indian democracy and for establishing a responsible and accountable administration and a democratic society as well. – Reproduced http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/Journal%20Volume%20XX.pdf |
