RE:democracy Vs majorityism
by viswanatha seshadri on Dec 30, 2007 07:26 PM

Right. Countries, cultures dominated by wrong-deciding majorities, will soon decay and die, only countries, states whose majorities stand for humanism and justice with welfare for all will survive over the centuries.

'Survival of the fittest' is the rule for cultures and countries also. 'dharmo rakshati rakshitah': the true 'right' is that which protects the practitioner, proof of pudding in the eating.

MahaagaNapati mantra ends: 'sarvajanam me vaSam aanaya swaahaa', meaning 'make the surviving hunanity move progressivly merging into ever-greater 'goodness' [vasam = vareNye Samanam];
it is the basic commitment to truth, harmony, non-violence, welfare for all[satyam, ritam, ahimsaa, sarvatra subhikshaa, sarva-jana-sowkhya], which has enabled the indic non-conquesting non-converting civilization survive over many millennia despite conq/conv waves from outside. It will continue to survive.
