Governance

Governance of commissions, or governance of omissions? What is going on in Dhaka? We have not yet learned to rule ourselves, individually, collectively, and at the national levels.

The training period of our "politicians" never end even after more than one generation. The very definitions of 'politics' and 'politicians' have been warped.

Truth is- parliamentary form(s) of governance does not work in poor societies. Presidents and autocrats cling to power decade after decade in all countries & nations.

Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi were based in South Africa. A flower shines brighter while shinning alone.

Corrupt practices are simply explained: first strengthen one's economic base, before qualifying for (allegedly) serving one's fellowmen.

The poor and subjective minds cannot invent a new system of governance. Notice that in the Muslim states in the Middle East, a different type of 'democracy' is practised (monarchy). Why? Time tested?

Be "noble" and be crushed, or be scheming, and keep the society bases.

Hypocrisy is entrenched today. The Bush doctrine is creating jungles of cannibalism.

Let there be peace till Dawn breaks.
