A metaphorical similarity of human evolution can also be seen in the evolution of a Democracy. yes, democracy has always been evolved from where there was tyranny, monarchy, struggle, patriachy and all forms of forest ecosystem. earlier mammals were forest beings, whose primary instinct was to live and survive mostly driven by fight or flight instinct. this led to a lot of chaos, struggles for lower echleons of the beings survival difficulty for the weak. this led groupism, factionism and other forms of suppression of the weak. some species like ants, bees and wolves evloved to form a larger community based livelihood and formed the basis for modern day communism. while other mammals practised a more convntional bourgeois mentality. to break away from all of these, homo sapiens had to move away from forest living and moved to settlements to protect his own kin and sect. thus was born the idea of democracy.
it helped the man to find out the correct recipe for growth and to identify the correct combination of brain power and muscle power to start influencing the world and change it for the better (or the lack of it now).
I feel indian constitution, which hahs had its influence from various other constitutions at the time of its making 1950s, has found that perfect balance between the state and center powers. the share of distribution of the powers has been carefully thought through and constructed in such a way that no single person becomes the ultimate authority. there are checks and balances to ensure that monrachy doesnt find its way back nor other forms of social structure such as communism, fascism, authoritarianism and so on.
though there are now some sections of society in india that cry foul to the rough, i feel that indian constituency and the makers of the same have thought through it with considerable farsightedness. they have ensured to make the democracy a complete human body devoid of any deformities distributinig the powers throughout the body like the perfect Virtuvian Man of Da Vinci.
i hope this election 2024 also uphold the same sanctity of democracy and all the pillars of the social system stay intact to protect the Democratic Sapien.
