Introduction – Now-a-days most of us are acquainted with the word ‘dictator’ because we often hear of some dictators of Europe and we know what it means.  A dictator is a person who has absolute control over the state.  The state is guided by his will but a dictator is not a king.  A dictator is a common man or woman.  He or she does not belong to any royal family.

Dictators control the destiny of their respective countries.  Their position is more important than that of a king because they rise to that eminent position from among the common people and so they get the support of the common people.  But the ideals of these dictators are not the same.  Their ideals are not always approved by all.

My dictatorship – I wish I were a dictator of India for sometime.  As a dictator wields the greatest influence on the country, he can do much for the good of his country.  If I be a dictator, I will do all that is possible for the uplift of India.  I have got some plans and I shall try to carry them into effect.

My plans –

1. Religion - I notice that there is want of unity among the different communities of India.  They must all feel that they are Indians.  They must not give undue importance to religion.  The communal spirit must go once for all.  In politics there is no place of religion.  Every individual will be at liberty to follow his or her own religious belief but political parties on religious basis must not be allowed.
2. Language – A common language of all the Indians is another means of establishing unity among the Indians.  For this purpose I shall introduce one lingua franca in India.  It will be then easy to understand one another.  Of course, it will be a difficult task to accomplish this.
3. Political change – I have already said that political parties will not be based on religion.  These parties will be formed according to difference of views as regards political matters.  The form of government will be democratic.  The legislature will continue but the system of election shall be changed.  I shall have my cabinet but with full control over it.  My constant aim will be to affect the political progress of my country so that it may be one of the first class states of the world.
4. Economic change – But without economic change political change will not be of great use to the people.  It will be my aim to see that every Indian be properly fed and clothed.  India has got ample mineral resources; so industry can be developed here and these will be developed under state control so that there may not be any clash of interest between the capitalists and the laborers.  Agriculture must be improved on scientific basis.  There must be net work of railways and canals in the country for carrying on trade and commerce.
5. Educational and social reforms – Mass education lies at the root of all reforms.  Unless the people are educated, unless they are able to understand the value of the changes, I shall not be able to effect the changes for improvement easily.  So education must be made free and compulsory.  Grown-up persons also must be educated.  Technical colleges must be established in large numbers throughout the country.  There must be public libraries in every village and town.  People shall be taught the value of cooperation and cooperative societies.  Sanitation of the country must be improved.  Hospitals will be established in large numbers so that people may be really benefited by them.  Rigidity of cast must not be supported.  Every one in society will enjoy equal privilege and people will be judged by their merit and not by their caste.  All kinds of social evils must be removed.
6. Foreign policy – I am a lover of peace.  So my foreign policy will not be in the least aggressive.  I do not want unnecessary bloodshed.  But I shall have a well-equipped army and navy to defend my country against foreign invasion.

Conclusion – Thus my idea of a dictator will be quite different from that of the dictators of Europe.  My aim will to effect in all round improvement of India based upon Indian culture.  People must live in peace and prosperity, free from foreign aggression and internal disorders.
