History records numerous tales of misery wrought upon the people by abuses of powers vested in wrong hands. Not only the people suffered - its wielders too at times were the victims. What do you think?

The biggest example is Hitler who made the whole world to fight a lethal and deadly war.So many people died,jews died and so many soldiers lost their life.
And now the political leaders are doing the same thing.
Best example is the rule of Aurangazeb. He was not the suitable candidate to rule his father's empire. He has tortured and killed many innocent peoples.

How/ Instead Shahjehan and his father Jahangir wasted public money for their lust. Aurangzeb was simple and he ruled without wasting public money. he would write copies of Holy book and live on income by sale of those books. Aurangjeb was the ablest sons of Shahjehan and so he got the throne.

True, Aurangzeb actually was a very celibate Emperor, he is also known to have made caps to sell for money!

Ceemji,
A simple doubt. :whistle: :whistle:
Is this question related to history and politics only? :blink:
You all know am weak in these subjects :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Also, power in wrong hands/ misuse of power is applicable to every field, not only history and politics. Isn't it? :evil: :evil: :whistle: :whistle: :S :S


Why harbor a doubt about it! You are bang on! Don't ask for any example in other fields from me!! :dry: :dry: :dry: :dry:
Although I am no admirer of imperialist Churchil but his comments on Indian leaders have great relevance in today's context and I quote:Power will go to the hands of rascals,rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts.They will fight amongst themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air and water would be taxed.

He was not too far off the mark! What do you say?


He was wrong at only one point, air to breath is still available free of cost although it's not worth. They are planning to sell air by fixing booths where you can go have some fresh air for a cost. :laugh:
Back to topic, when shall we learn that power is provided to use it for welfare of public concerned and not to misuse it by showing yourself off as superior than others.
It is not just political power that causes misery. anything in wrong hands will cause misery. Thus a medical treatment by a wrong doctor may kill patient. Similarly with advocates. A bad cool will spoil the food. So, we need to put only right persons everywhere. A bad driver may kill passengers.
I have always believed in old saying that says a little power to undeserving one makes hem/her feel some one out of the world who wants to show it off at every possible way, applicable or not applicable even at the cost of becoming laughing stock.

We have a proverb....
Alppanu aiswaryam kittiyaal artharathri kuda pudikkum.....

If an 'Alpan' (can't find its English word :dry: , very poor, but not deserving...something like that :whistle: :whistle: ) becomes rich(very suddenly) , he will open his Umbrella even at midnight :S :S . (That means he will show it to the whole world)
Disastrous translation :evil: :blink: :S :S :S :S

let me recite a story- a lady bought a new diamond ring which no one noticed for the whole day, she fired her home in the night and when neighbors came for extinguish the fire she moved her hand indicating towards the house and showing her ring, one neighbor sad - is this new diamond ring... she started weeping saying if you would have seen it in the day why would I set my own house on fire? :laugh: :laugh:

Did that diamond change to carbon in the fire?
If so, story would have been more nice. Isn't it? :woohoo: :woohoo:

Hey where did you do your MCA from??
Diamond is hardest form of carbon that means best carbon. :P :P :P Although they are trying to find a better or harder form of carbon.

True! In every field of life, whoever wields even a little bit of more power than others is ready to misuse to his own benefit! The example I quoted earlier wrt to farmers is exactly the same!

But diamond is just an isotope of carbon. Right.
I heard...if it's put in flame, it will turn to a charcoal/black. That's why I said so. Am I right or not? :evil: :evil:
That's why am asking, if that lady lost her diamond in the fire that she lit?????

The lady had that ring in her finger and was waiving her hand to show it to attract people's attention. That was the reason she set her house on fire. :laugh: :laugh:

True Sharmishtha, but you have used it in past tense whereas the misuse of power still happens now too. Injustice is still being done to those who do not have any power.
Earlier, Rajas also misused their powers.......they also collect tax from poor people to fill their 'Khajanaav'(Now i can't remember its English word :whistle: ). Not all kings were good. Now also, tax is collected. Everything is same...except that now, it's democracy. Earlier, people didn't have power to express their views or fight against injustice. But now, democracy gives power to normal citizens to criticize their leaders...that all people, including me, are using every day!!!!, even through our forums :cheer: :cheer: So, many news are brought to limelight. But earlier it was not possible. That's the only difference.

I can only translate Khjanaav or Khajana, that is treasure or treasury. Rest is okay.
Their are many democratic countries in the world but they neither fight, misuse or show them as superior than public.
This only happens in India
Ye mera India
I love my India. ;)
