Being Obama and Being the President of the powerful Democracy
The change is Obama and the change in being the President of the United States. The coming two months is crucial for the United States and for the world too.
I believe that the changes are fundamental rule of the democratic governance and its institution. However, the demand for change is always appreciated when there is frustration with the ongoing system and the process.
I want to take my reader to just four years back. On that time, there were clear mandate in favor of electing Bush. He was reelected and changed the world and changed the whole perspective of seeing the issue of violence. The war against terror becomes an international agenda of governance and any of the accord or treaty are not free from this word. The security of the humanity is surrounded around the war against terror and its mechanism to stop this menace to spread around the world. The stopping this kind of violence is more challenging for the world than the violence of the “Osama” and its tentacles.
There are many aspects to deal and to criticize the war against terror, but, the world can’t be safe place unless the agents of violence are identified. In the process of identification, many stereotyped have been created and these stereotyped have got strengthen after many incidents of violence.
On the other side of the world (Muslim World) started believing this war as “religious war”. The leaders of the community started preaching that the United States is not enemy of peace but an enemy of “Islam”. Now, the situation is that even the issues of development and governance is seen through this lens of animosity. In India, many political parties started opposing the Nuclear Deal not only on the basis of ideology, but also to get close with the vote bank.
Being Obama and being the President of the United State is not a common platform to see the changes. As the democracy is best but it’s functioning promotes challenges in governance.
Although, the perspective may be repetitive and old one, but the peace never come on the basis of violence mechanisms and tools. We want change not only from being Obama, but also from being the President of the United State. I feel both should be different and coordination between two should harmonious in nature.
