Notes from the riddles in hinduism

Whether the government would be good or bad, democratic or undemocratic depends to a large extent up on the instrumentalities particularly the civil service on which everywhere the government has to depend for administering the law.

It all depends upon the social milieu in which civil servants are nurtured.

If the social milieu is undemocratic the government is bound to be undemocratic.

~ B R Ambedkar

Good government means good laws and good administration. This is the essence of good government. Nothing else can be. Now there cannot be good government in this sense if those who are invested with ruling power seek the advantage of their own class instead of the advantage of the whole people or of those who are downtrodden.

~ B R Ambedkar

If in a democracy, liberty does not destroy equality and equality does not destroy liberty, it is because at the basis of both there is fraternity. Fraternity is therefore the root of democracy.
