                                       Dual Government: A Creative Paradigm Shift

For several historical reasons and considering the massive diversity of peoples and cultures the country India needs a unique form and structure of governance – Government.

There is a critical turning point now, finally triggered by the recent Mumbai events to consider the scope of a paradigm shift – in the processes and procedures of government.

Therefore, a radically new proposal is presented.

We propose a government structure in which masculine and feminine perspectives operate

in a balanced manner by and through their complete representation and involvement.

We suggest a government system as follows:

a. Every constituency will have both male and female candidates in parallel representing political ideologies as on now - women will vote for women candidates and men for men candidates, exclusively.

b. The government will consist of the two parallel parliamentary bodies of equal rights and responsibilities, one comprising men and the other women - elected from the two parallel electorates.

c. The decisions will be taken by the majority of both the bodies following procedures as on now. The ministers will be elected from among the representatives in those two parallel structures.

This will, in addition, ensure 100% gender equity in government - one house comprising women representatives and the other comprising men.


RATIONALE

[1]   The current government structures, systems, processes, and procedures, would work in a relatively simple environment. Not in India. Not when considering the massive levels of inequality various governments have failed to manage – due to 'politics'.

In the past, the man would go out to work and the woman taking care of domestic activities. Now the economic complexity required both man and woman of a household to work and assume joint responsibility. In the same way, the complexities of world require active participation of both men and women. Therefore, a government which can be genuinely concerned about the ongoing reality of the country requires an equal representation of

a feminine perspective and world view. It is time for women to take responsibility for the state of their world. Let the female entity find expression.

[2]  Humanity claims to be always in search of the truth and the realities of things.

Things have been categorised on the basis of their external and internal properties resulting in the vast variety of subjects, languages, nations, religions, economies, societies, cultures, etc. The properties, behaviours, and uniqueness of all kinds of things and phenomena have been identified. And, the most primary, the obvious external and internal distinction can be made between the male and female entities. It points out a clear difference and potential which need to be manifested in the formation of government. Now is the time for it.

[3]   Men and women are different from one another and so they can be considered as different entities and forces. But this difference of entities is not maintained in the formation of a government.

Woman, especially in this country with a so-called tradition, was considered 'Shakti' and was given great respect and devotion.

India is a nation that always boasts about the unity in her diversities. The diversity of the nation exists in its culture, customs, religions, languages, and even in races. But still, with all these diversities the people declare themselves as Indians and stand united. The same principle can be applied in the case of the diversity of men and women in the context of forming a unified government.

The present level of female participation in government ends up inside the polling booths. Therefore a government without total female participation is anti-ecological, anti-Nature, unscientific.

To sum up, the government system we have recommended in this project is not only to make the conditions of humans better, but also to perpetuate a world view that treats every being in this universe with utmost care and love. The current problems of the world – as detailed in the two remarkable documentations namely the 'Human Development Report' and 'World Development Report' are very likely to be mitigated to a great extent if such a format of government is evolved.
