Is something which has become a political rhetoric at the national level just like 'Kamraj rule" has become in Tamil Nadu.

Before looking at Ram Raaj let us take a look at the concept of Society and the role of the State.

There are two versions to it. One is Our Version and the other is the version of the West or the Rest of the World.

Whats the difference? While ours focuses more on the Individual the West focuses more on the State. Why is that?

As they say the family is the building block of the society and the Individual is the building block of the family, so our people framed the policies that would lead to the realization of the Individual. We followed a Bottom-Up way of building.

The west followed the Top Down approach of building the society, by providing the state with all the authorities and making the Individual to depend solely on it.

(They taught the world to follow the "Bottom Up" approach in Programming. Ironical.)

So what is Ram Raaj? Now on reading the aforementioned paragraphs you should be able to answer it.

Ram Raaj is a state in which the people are contented, disciplined and at peace with themselves. Ram Raaj need not have Ram as the ruler, Any Ted, Mark or Iqbal can be the ruler of the state. Ram is merely a Reference to the Context. Unfortunate part is we have lost the context and have stuck ourselves to the Reference.

No wonder we are fighting over the Existence of the Ram. All this is unnecessary if we can understand the true significance of the Reference which is Ram. So did anyone called Ram exist? (Is it really necessary now?)

So when will we have Ram Raaj? We will have it when we look at the society like we look at our family, when we stop letting the Waste Water into the Storm Drains which are built for a different purpose, when we start to teach our kids the importance of values and not Money, when we teach them to deserve and desire, when we live at peace with ourselves, Now when will that happen???
