What are the major arguments for and againsts political parties?
1. Demoralize Public Opinion:Political Parties diffuse public opinion by their propaganda and statement of facts. They carry on one-­sided propaganda and often act upon the principle of Suppressio veri (suppression of truth) and Suggest us falsi (propagation of falsehood); Every political party uses all the means at its disposal to win over public opinion in its favour.Political parties defend their own policies and offer an unhealthy criticism of other parties. Naturally public opinion gets confused and demoralized. They appeal to emotion rather than reason! They appeal in the name of flag, symbols, slogans. They appeal in the name of persons and personalities rather than principles and policies.2. Offer Opportunity to ambitious Type of Persons:Political parties simply offer opportunities to political ring leaders, demagogues, careerists and political adventurers. The really intellectual people get a little chance of success in political life. In the words of C.R. Dass, a great Congress leader, politics is a game of scoundrels.A person, who knows the art of public speaking and who has the knack of collecting suffrage in his favour, becomes a political leader. Men of art, science or literature arc generally election shy.They always keep themselves away from the sordid game of politics. Nepotism, jobbery and spoils system flourish under the party system. Castcism, provincialism, linguism, and communalism dominate in elections.3. Curblndividuality:Political parties curb independent thinking. Every political party has an iron discipline of its own. The members of the political party arc supposed to cry ditto to what their political bosses say. The position of the members is reduced to that of camp followers.A person having independent views of his own has no place in a political party. Independent members are generally turned out of the parties. The very threat of expulsion keeps the different members mum and silent. In­dividuality in fact gets curbed under the pressure of party discipline- However, without discipline there shall be chaos and anarchy.Neither the government will be stable nor policies will be consistent. It avoids political corruption and parties can resist vested interests better than individuals could.4. Loyality to the State Suffers:The party system encourages party mentality which leads to disruption and separatism in the state. National interests are subordinated to party interests which assume topmost priority. Consequently, loyalty to the state takes the form of loyalty to the party. But no party can exist unless it believes in national integrity.
Obstacles in the way of national integration?
National Integration most simply and briefly means national unity. It is unity in diversity. It means unifying all the forces in the country so as to give the idea of one nation.Meaning of National IntegrationDr.S.RADHAKRISHNAN has rightly said that "National Integration cannot be built by brick and mortar, it cannot be built by chisel and hammer. It has to grow silently in the minds and hearts of men. The only process is the process of education"National Integration most simply and briefly means national unity. It is unity in diversity. It means unifying all the forces in the country so as to give the idea of one nation. National Integration involves :-1) The sentiments of nationalism2) The feeling of oneness.3) Social, political, economic, linguistic and cultural unity.4) Common ideas of life and common code of behavior.5) The ability to subordinate sectarian and parochial loyalties to loyalty of the nation.Obstacles to National IntegrationIndia is a country with innumerable diversities, an entity composed of many communities, races classes, languages and sub­cultures. In any such nation, there are many obstacles to the achievement of national integration.) CommunalismThe greatest menace to the national solidarity of a country is communalism.2) ProvincialismThe second danger to national integration is provincialism. It springs from the same sentiments which work behind communalism.3) UnemploymentUnemployment intelligentsia is the greatest threat to national cohesion. It causes frustration, Complexes, conflicts, restless and discontentment. A frustrated youth is country's worst enemy.4) Lack of social senseIn our country, we are self- centred and do not realize that we have duties towards them as they have towards us.5) CasteismEven now it is the greatest curse for our national unity. Different castes look to the benefit of their own castes. They do not bother for national benefit. Thus constructive activities are stopped. Caste loyalties are strong impediments to the homogeneity of the nation.6) Different political partiesIn our country there are many political parties. Out of these some work for the growth of the national unity but there are certain other parties which cause national disruption.7) Lack of good leadershipThe success of democracy depends upon the good leaders. Most of our leaders are selfish and unscrupulous. They either work for their own wested interests. they do not care for the national interest. Such leaders stand as an obstacle is the path of national unity.8) Frustrated youthYouth of today is sitting at the crossroads. He is frustrated because of the rampant corruption, favouritism, unemployment, uncertain future etc.9) Domicile restrictionsThree are domicile restrictions in various colleges, especially in professional colleges in India. How can the people of all the states gather under one flag and how can all the communities and castes become indistinguishable if such barriers exist.10) Lack of national characterIn India, at every step disruptive tendencies such as adultration in food and beverages and even in life-saving drugs, bribery, black-marketing, smuggling etc are prevalent. Because of these tendencies, national integration faces a great danger.
