You've raised a relevant issue. Ho...Great post! You've raised a relevant issue. However, I don't think democracy and capitalism are inherently opposed to each other as concepts. It is the practice of each which creates problems. For instance, in India, while we claim to be a democratic nation - each eligible citizen has a right to vote - we aren't truly democratic because the manner in which democracy is practiced is compromised by illiteracy and poverty. Rampant capitalism can increase inequality in society, as is being seen in the US. <br /><br />The Arab Spring is in its summer now - and it'll be interesting to see how their experiment goes.Manreet Sodhi Someshwarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566345149225306647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295684.post-48984732713754104312012-02-23T06:41:35.951+05:302012-02-23T06:41:35.951+05:30I guess we have neglected "government BY the ...I guess we have neglected "government BY the people" and the government (and opposition) have neglected, "Government FOR". To learn to be effective by uniting, speaking with one voice, coming up with an action plan and then acting to make the government accountable is our biggest challenge. Otherwise they will continue doing what they've always done - dip their greedy fingers in the pie.Khoty Mathurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706537182743683089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295684.post-10511834764807966532012-02-22T19:21:54.451+05:302012-02-22T19:21:54.451+05:30A very well discussed post.

I guess it comes to a mutual learning from either and a fair balance between the two to realize a common ground and that common ground is provided by socialism- for the people and the betterment of them by providing sufficient opportunities. Well I believe governance is in quite a quagmire of issues and probably the answer is in a fusion of all these..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295684.post-13221359813634395482012-02-22T16:02:05.999+05:302012-02-22T16:02:05.999+05:30appreciate your comments Uma.

Your doubts are right, the whole Arab world is under turmoil now. Thats what happened to us way back in 1947-52 period. But ultimately things settle down, people and more importantly societies and nations learn and evolve. I agree that all situations/ systems have their pros and cons but ultimately some are definitely, decisively better than the others and those are the ones which survive. creditsNitin Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05417880671772425142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295684.post-42144852372893055642012-02-22T15:04:27.141+05:302012-02-22T15:04:27.141+05:30I beleive there are pros and cons to most situatio...I beleive there are pros and cons to most situations and governance is no exception to this. In my humble opinion, however, Democray, the kind dreamt of by the founders of our nation, is more suitable to an enlightened populace. I am not a supporter of Hosni Mubaraq. But I do want to ask a question. Do you thing the Egyptians will now live happily ever after? On the contrary, I suspect the better days of Egypt may be behind it. It may just plunge into a morass of fundamentalist quagmire.umashankarhttp://uspandey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295684.post-812443243527891822012-02-22T11:50:17.338+05:302012-02-22T11:50:17.338+05:30thanks Iyshu.
