Question 1: Are you suggesting that
strike, dharna, bandh and demonstration are a good thing? I thought it happened
only in our country, because we are not a mature democracy yet.
Answer:
1. Democracy
evolves through struggle by the people of the country. Strike, dharna, bandh
and demonstrations are the democratic means of struggle. These are a good thing
till used peacefully for a genuine democratic demand; otherwise these may be
harmful equally.
2.
When
these things take place democratically in a country, it means the democracy is
expanding and deepening its roots. It is not only in our country where these
happen, in every democratic country these are observed when the general will of
the people is ignored.
Question 2: Does it mean that
whichever side manages to mobilise a bigger crowd gets away with whatever it
wants? Are we saying that ‘Might is Right’ in a democracy?
Answer:
1. No,
mobilising a bigger crowd does not let any side have what it wants. It is not
simply mobilising. People cannot be mobilised as objects. In fact, it is rooted
in the common interest of the people. It is the common and genuine interest of
the people that has the force of mobilising the mass. The force of struggle in
the people for a common cause cannot originate at the will of any group, it is
spontaneous.
2.
No,
we can say it in other words that people’s will and interest has might and it
is through this that a democracy evolves.
