The advocates of Democracy took all care to see that Indian system of Democracy works well..We have the biggest written constitution.We have the supreme parliament,independent judiciary and the workable executive.The constitution has provided the duties and responsibilities of all concerned.The constitution has also provided the punishments for those who are proved lacking in discharging their responsibilities.But what is the result.We r deep rooted in corruption
We Indians have two important books written by Indian saints.These books r full of wisdom.These r 1 Ramayana and 2 Mahabharata. Both these books deal with besides many other points,important wars.In ramayana,Rama with the help of his younger brother Laxmana fought with the mighty king ,Ravana.Ravana was not an ordinary person. He was highly educated very well versed in war fares commanding a well trained army.Comparatively Rama was very week.He had only one to help him and that was his brother Laxamana.Later Rama took help from some unconventional army comprising of jungle animals .But ultimately Rama won.Why he won was bcz truth was on his side
In Mahabharata we come across King Bharata.King Bharata was great not because he ruled over a vast empire .But it was because of this that he preferred Karama(Qualification) to janama(Family back ground) and he declared the sworn prince one amongst the masses and none out of his nine sons
Next comes the great king Dhitrashtra.He wanted his son,Daryodhana to be sworn Prince setting aside the rights of his own brother’s son Yudhistra .And the result was a great war Mahabharata
In Mahabharata the two armies assembled together at Kurukshetra The armies were in the ratio of 7:11.Besides there were mighty warriors on the Kaurav side.Naming a few of them was unconquerable Bhisam,the invincible Daron and Kripacharaya and Mighty Karana who was well versed in war fare and a lot many more
Comparatively the Pandava army was very week. But ultimately Pandwas won because they were righteous people.From this we learn a few lessons
1 It is never the numerical strength of man power but truth carries the day.Did not we see that in Bangla Desh war 93000 strong army men with a host of arms and ammunitions headed by Gen Niaazi surrendered to the then Lt. Gen Kudip Singh Arora
2The lord Krishna told to Arjuna,”These mighty warriors on the opposite side are already killed,but I want u to take the credit of killing them ,so u fight and kill them”.That means God himself will come to work for u if truth is with u
3In Mahabharata Lord Krishna was unarmed.That means Lord need not take up arms He knows how to play His game.
4 Lord said ,”whenever there is loss of Dharma I will come to this world and will set the order right”
