“Achieving apparent harmony is easier under an authoritarian regime than in a democracy. With a zillion voices in the democratic public space, diversity of opinions pervades. Yet, that diversity and freedom of expression is what ensures the evolution of thoughts, constantly harmonising the instruments in the symphony. Under coercion, quintessential harmony is not only difficult, it is impossible.” DemocracyEvolutionDiversityHarmonyDictatorshipCoercion Author:R. N. Prasher
“Most of the dictators do allow freedom in the private space. it is their tentacles in the public space that are considered the killers of democracy. if you want to test democracy, go no further than measuring the restraint that people feel in the public space about activities that cause no harm to fellow citizens, the dictator excluded.” FreedomDemocracyRestraintDictatorshipsPublic SpacePrivate Space Author:R.

“Strange are the ways of democracy; everyone disagrees with everyone else and such dissent is considered a good thing. Stranger are the ways of dictators; once they have coerced all their subjects to agree with them, they spread their evil wings across their borders to secure the nod of the rest of the humanity. That is how dictatorships usually end. If a dictator does not aspire to be a world hegemon, he could be forever, limited only by the fact that even dictators are mortal.” DemocracyDictatorDissentHegemonyNodHow Dictatorships End Author:R.

“Democratic State has an obligation to protect the weak; anarchy thrives on the weakness and helplessness of the weak. A democratic State that does not protect the weak from unlawful coercion and from hunger invites its own doom and creates space for anarchy.” DemocracyDemocraticHungerAnarchyCoercionStateUnlawful Author:R.
