CONVERTING a DEMOCRACY from a AUTO-RICKSHAW to a FOUR-WHEELER - and MAKING IT MORE STABLE

Dear Friends,

Yes, that is exactly what Annaji's Movement has begun today, and is now set to complete.

For Years we learnt that the Indian Parliamentary Democracy has THREE Pillars - the Legislative, The Executive, and the Judiciary.

We could also say - the THREE WHEELS of our Democracy.

Which means, it looked something like an Auto-Rickshaw.

Ok, now a bit of Physics here : It is important and I'll try and make it as simple as I can - but read it carefully over :


The stability of any body depends on the position of the POINT OF CONTACT with the GROUND (POCG) of the line joining the CENTRE-OF-GRAVITY of the OBJECT with the GROUND. If the POCG falls WITHIN the CLOSED FIGURE created by the points supporting it on the ground - the object stays stable, OTHERWISE it TOPPLES over (i.e. OVERTURNS).

When an Object SLANTS from its Upright or Normal Position, the POCG too moves in the Same Direction in which the Object Slants. (To test this out yourself, just take a Rectangluar Block, loosely hang a match-stick from its centre to the Ground or the Table by a piece of thread, set it down on the Ground or on a Table and then slant it - you'll find that the point where the match-stick touches the Ground or the Table - the POCG - Moves in the same direction as the Slant.)

The GREATER the AREA (i.e EXPANSE) of that CLOSED FIGURE, the lesser the chance of the POCG falling outside the CLOSED FIGURE, and hence GREATER the STABILITY of the Object and LESSER the CHANCES of TOPPLING OVER. (In our example, if after slanting the Rectangular Block you leave it, it will - (a) either come back to its upright position, if the match-stick was touching the table within the limits of the block's base; (b) otherwise, topple over, if the match-stick was touching the table outside the limits of the block's base.)


For an Auto-Rickshaw, this closed figure is a TRIANGLE, as the points supporting it on the ground are three - its THREE WHEELS. For a Four-Wheeler, the figure is a Quadrilateral, or more Precisely, a RECTANGLE, as it has FOUR WHEELS.

Thus, the STABILITY of a FOUR-WHEELER is generally GREATER than that of an AUTO-RICKSHAW because -

(i) the AREA of the RECTANGLE is GREATER than that of the TRIANGLE, considering comparable sizes of an Auto-Rickshaw and a Four-Wheeler.

(ii) the SIDES of a RECTANGLE are FARTHER AWAY FROM THE CENTER than the SIDES of a TRIANGLE. So given a case of a SLANT due to a SHARP TURN, the chances of the POCG falling outside the Closed Figure is higher for a TRIANGLE than a RECTANGLE.

NOW COMING BACK TO ANNAJI'S MOVEMENT, what it is now set to do is to add a FOURTH PILLAR to our Democracy - the LOKPAL - and a STRONG LOKPAL.

The Fourth Pillar - we could also say - the FOURTH WHEEL of our Democracy.

Till today, with the Three Pillars or Three Wheels around, the System proved to be inefficient and UNSTABLE with Corruption romping around.

However, with the Addition of the Fourth Wheel, it is all set to Change...and become much more STABLE.

So, isn't the democracy looking like being converted from a Three Wheeler to a Four Wheeler ?

Isn't it looking like BEING CONVERTED FROM A AUTO-RICKSHAW or TEMPO to a FOUR-WHEELER, and BECOMING MORE STABLE ?

Well, that's how I feel. Let me know how you look at it.

Thanks,

Summit.

four wheeler is obviously much more stable and safe ......... but the driver must not be like any of these corrupt congress ppl ..

HA..HA..for if you have one of these drivers...they'll try and show you "stunts" with Democracy...

Which Passenger wants to sit behind a "stuntman" driver...?

HA..HA..

good logic... but you have described three pillars the Legislative, The Executive, and the Judiciary but instead executive it should be media. executive cannot be describe as pillars. its governance stage which come bellow all three the Legislative, the media, and the Judiciary.

The Textbook Definition of our Democracy says that it has THREE PILLARS - The Legislative, The Executive, and The Judiciary.

The Legislative is the Parliament...

The Executive stands for the President, Prime Minister and his Cabinet...

The Judiciary is the Justice System

If Media Replaces the Executive, I just hope, DEMocracy just doesn't turn into a MEDocracy...or WORSE...MEDIocracy...!!!

Just Kiddin'......

Does a SEPARATION OF POWERS really exist IN OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM ?

Thanks,
Summit.

I agree with ur comments about media.You may be kidding, but you are spot on!!

Thanks Prakash...I fully agree...

I suppose I was writing with two pens there...if one cut, the other consoled...

thats old definition of independent time and at that time media was not there only print media and that also very limited. so, in todays time media as main pillar and proving powerful then even legislature. Can you deny it? no not at all. According to time things change and you will have to change your belief, law etc. Govt/executive does not run with the time and problem arises.

Well said sir, press is d fourth piller of democracy

@ summit ur physics funda is gr8! u r echoing my idea.I am so happy about the CAG reports in the media u'v also looked up VBG.!!I discussing Bose with one n all these days.
