Customary Agitation in Democracy
Monarchy, but with a certain parliament being best for the cause of the people. Not the one composed of the men visiting many places claiming of their self being the best and then driving the people like a flock just for own and own band of bandits.

Recommendation
Never anywhere the common people have been able to understand anything as it is desired, they can be persuaded or stirred up for any thing by special people. However, may your pray be accepted.

LET US DEBATE CONTEST-2-Democracy in the world today
1--Power of the government needs a centre and if the power is divided hundreds of people with hundreds of favours will nourish which is the base of democracy and its root-cause of failure.
2--It is against moral values and laws of humanly honour. If there are a hundred people wrong and ten on the other hand are right then according to democratic philosophy the hundred are right being wrong and the ten are wrong only because they are less in number. You may come to know considering not the question of any religion that there are always less people who are upright and truthful in the society who are proved wrong always withing the system or cage of democracy.
The best system in India rather in the former Hindustan is the Monarchy in which the centre being strong decides strongly for the welfare of the nation. The best rulers in the Indian history wereMauriyan, Ashoka, Alauddin Khilji, Shamsuddin Eltutmash, SherShah Suri, Babur, Akbar, Jahangir and Shahjahan. They have did a lot for India while India was always divided into pitty rajwar'as. Do not compare these people with British who had all done with deceit and plunder. You people are just westernised and impressed as well as being in inferiority complexion considering own things and selves obliged to foreign dresses and customs.

LETTER TO A FRIEND BORN IN AN ISLAMIC RELIGION.......
Respected Raghunathan!
You are a learned man and even if you make an assault on me I shall rather be contended to tolerate; so remain free and open to talk about anything and I shall also feel free to talk to you.
You have said about traditional education and dress. These both are things opposite to each other if are considered with the development in society and technical art. One can not teach a child how to ride the bullocks in a line or how to measure the length of land and the direction of sun to conclude the time as was done in the old days. Certainly we have to teach the twelve hours on the clock and the a.m, p.m and the timings of noons and late noons with those of night and the modern instruments and their knowledge. Just as we do not use sticks, maces and spears as weapons. If one does not have a modern knowledge he/she is just like a blind or not a creature of this world. As far as dress is concerned this is obvious that people of the past were not fools or had some shortage or excess of clothings except of those of some Africans. The national dresses best suit to a man of a certain nation. If you see an Indian in Kurta Shalwaar he will lood better and dignified. Three piece or two piece suits well suit to the English while the Americans look better in Jeans and hats similarly if foreign dress is adopted by the people of the other nations they never ever look civilized and better in appearance but rather look foolslike and funny. You may notice that how Indians look in three piece suits and how Turks look . To cover head is also an essential part but if one does not put a cap on head never should be asked or compelled to. You may have been well aware of the proverb ' topi Uchhaal di' used for one to be disgraced. Whenever there was a man of high rank even the Qazi or judge in Islam guilty of any corruption or favour his turban was to be rolled around his neck making his head bare brought before the public as a token of disgrace for him.
This is not a thing to be considered as a religious matter rather to sit and compromise on may have the solution and if there is some compulsion about made by some religious priests then that is totally unfair.
As about the dance I think that even if a girl does not dances and gets to the age of upto sixteen becomes conscious about the art of beauty in her. For a girl the most valuable degree is beauty, even if a girl does not possess other quality except beauty is valued the most in the society while lesser people look on to the other qualities. Being aware of her beauty or the charm one has a girl may not make consealed that and upto some extent reveals to some one even be her mates. This in the case of dance in public gives her the chance and opportunity to show herself to the public and bring about disturbance in her dignity as well as in the society.

No, Never. Everyone is free to practice his/her religion and even if one is won by love and kindness to the religion Islam. A head of any community may ask others and ban people of his community if they are making something wrong and harm to the society but he is not justified to terrorise people. The head of the community is no authority in Islam, it may be the community for their welfare choose someone.
The dance is forbidden in Islam to be an act of becoming a woman to make as an object of pleasure of a woman. As a study and knowledge there is nothing to be denied. Even the art of magic is not forbidden (being a sin is Islam) to be studied and learned but the practice and the show off to make pleasure as the dance is usually done is forbidden.
Mr.Raghunathan; You have some concept made up in your mind about Islam that is to be altered. There is nothing in the religious teachings in Islam to be imposed on people with some other religion. It is ordered for a Muslim that even if be the father of one as a Non-Muslim to make the utmost respect to him. There is no compulsion in Islam and if there is being seen making of is ultimately the thing against Islam. You may have seen in India that the former Chatrias of Punjab and the Jats, Gujars etc are mostly Muslims now who were the chief ruling faction. They have not been compelled to become Muslims but they have been attracted to the simple and straightaway philosophy of Islam.
Here I define the basic principle or code of Islam in short;
1..God is one and Mohammad is his last Prophet, praying five times a day, fasting a month in a year, giving alms or Zakat for the rich of the two and a half of the wealth. If have money to visit Makkah in Saudia once. Spread religion and if the Islamic state orders make a Jehad or fight at the time of need. No compulsion in religion which is strictly prohibited.
2..The Islamic Law is simple, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. The killer should be killed before the public and the theif will have the hand cut off. The rapist must be stoned to be killed and if there in a case of adultery both be stoned to death if are married and if not be lashed. All be done in public. The chief judge or Qazi must be most indifferent as well as a brave and pious person who may have a voice in the court of the ruler also. Many a times in history of Islam corrupt Qazis have been humiliated and many a times they have been even summoning and questioning the rulers of the time.
3..Islamic financial system is against the modern theory and that which has prevailed for long in history , there is no interest in loans in Islam and the profit must be shared according to the loss and gain in market.
4..The Non-muslims subjects in an Islamic country will have to pay a special tax called 'Jazya' as they are not called for the defence of the country but if they take part in the defence and fight alongwith the Muslims are exempted from this.
There are many concepts others have spread about the Jehad or Holy war. Jehad or fighting in Islam is as a duty imposed on every soul capable or taking up arms in the following cases;
1- to preach and take the teachings of Islam to other non-believers and into their lands,
(this is the duty of the Muslim state which has further conditions)
2- if some one attacks the country
3- in the defence of your life, honour and property
4- to defend other people in trouble or in doing good to other people in trouble irrespectable of religion.
while in fight not to harm the children, women, old, trees, houses and animals of the enemy. Also must not be harmed those who do not take part in the fight.
After reading this kindly ask any question freely about anything you have a doubt about.

You have written well and straight and if there be some others like this there will the honour prevail. Actually every soul considers others to be like him or her in characteristic and thus get such things happen and have a blow at the right time which is a lesson for them. Many do get the atmosphere as they have been in with and get mistaken like this when come across someone righteous. Well written.

A nice write but I think that the native residents may also get changed and get avoided the well. A total change is desired without delay, with all means in hand.
