In any ideal form of governance, the power must vest in the
hands of the Majority. And it is equally important that the rule of law
exercised by the Majority recognize & protect the equality of all citizens
including those belonging to any form of Minority. The reverse is not only
unacceptable but will always tend to create unrest and tension in the society.
Imagine the scenario if a Hindu group captures power in a Muslim majority nation
or Muslims rule over a Christian majority USA or Shias running the government
in a Sunni majority nation. The consequences can be much more far reaching than
in a reverse scenario.
Majority in every nation usually make up the Right side of its
political spectrum. The bogey of fascism that is used to prevent them from
coming to power is fast becoming an outdated technique in electoral politics.
The world has changed and the chances of another Hitler or Mussolini capturing
power in any democratic country is almost zero. It is only natural that the
ruling power in all democratic nations reaches the hands of Right political
parties. Only the Right can fulfill the aspirations of its Majority and only
the Majority can ensue the well being of the Minority in any nation. Right Must
Rule (RMR) must be the motto in all democratic countries and hope it will be so
in India
too very soon.
