Dedicated to UN International Day of Democracy on 15 October<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

15 Oct is the International Day of Democracy. I wish for Authentic Democracy world-wide based on perpetual Universal Peace Education for Good Governance and Peace. This day is observed every year on this day to promote and review the state of democracy world-wide.<\/p>\n

195 Nation-States are members in the United Nations. Maximum numbers of Nation-States are non-democratic. But people of the all nation-states want to enjoy the fruits of democratic good governance. However, even in democratic nation-states, people are ruled not by themselves but by their representatives elected by them. They are governed by their brokers through proxy. There is reality if we people cannot eat by proxy, drink by proxy, marry by proxy, then why people should be ruled by proxy. They must be masters in their houses for good governance.<\/p>\n

But, \u201cDemocracy, without education, is the Government of the cattle, by the cattle and for the cattle.\u201d Democracy without proper education always leads to exploitation, injustice, unrest, chaos, violence and war. In democracy, all are rulers; hence, all must be educated. \u00a0Genuine and authentic democracy can take birth only through universal peace education (that is based on universally inherent five elements, viz. body, vitality, mind, intellect and spirit in every man and woman everywhere without any discrimination to be integrally unfolded throughout his and her lives) to be human for perpetual justice and peace.<\/p>\n
