Reconfiguring of Power Politics in Arvind Kejriwal’s Swaraj

Itika Dahiya, M.A. (English), NET, M.Phil. Student

Despicable Situation Calls for Resolution

The preamble of our Constitution starts with the words “WE THE PEOPLE OF INDIA”; the basis for the inclusion of these words in our Constitution was the fact that the struggle of the people of India led to the independence of our nation from the deadly grasp of the British Rule. Now, since independence is solely acquired by the people of India after a long struggle and great sacrifices, it is their legitimate right to participate in governance directly along with their representatives.

It is inherent in all human beings to struggle for acquiring all human rights for peaceful and amicable co-existence being members of a civilized society. Mere inclusion of provisions of human rights in any political or legal system is not enough for sustenance. In a situation where people are dying of hunger or without money for treatment to save their lives, can we say that they are availing the right to life in real sense? So, enforcement of all such rights including the right to good governance at the apex with transparency in governance is a sine qua non for the benefit of humanity. But the situation as on date is far from reality.

Continuing Poverty

Even after more than six decades of independence, poverty is still deeply rooted in the Indian society and it is considered as the greatest obstacle to the economic and social progress. Therefore, as long as poverty exists in India, streamlining the form of governance is the need of the hour if human rights have any place in our democracy. Then only democracy will be able to bring in people’s rule, as in the word (demo-cracy) itself, it is people i.e. ‘demo’ that comes before the rule, i.e. ‘cracy’.
