Politics in 21st Century

“Re-imagining Democracy
with People & Machines People Machines
combined” – Jitendra Rajaram

Democracy
 I believe…

“We all have our own mental bubbles… within that bubble lies our arguments,
understandings and beliefs. We should never cease to struggle for expanding
this bubble.”
– Barrack Obama, Exit Speech

“The good thing about democracy is that intelligent group will never be able to
dominate it”
- Yuval Noah Harari, Author of Sapiens
 What happened here…
...is effecting the politics here!

1991 2008
LPG Recession Economic Progress

Born in 2000 Vote in 2019

Millennials are now grown up citizens, Z Milens are now the voters.

Politics before recession 2008 was entirely different.

It’s like politics before 1930 recession was different.

The politics so far…
Enhanced people participation.

Undid animalistic slavery from almost all over the world.

Is not entirely controlled by wealth, religion or violence

anymore.

The Earth’s very survival now hinges on few triggers. Politics

has achieved humungous power, enough to destroy the world.
The people so far…
Nothing encouraging though, people are waking up to know what they are
rightful of.

An artificially created sandwiched layer of “middle class” has separated the

poor and rich for more bad than good reasons. Though this layer is fragile and
temporary.

The general conscience of the masses is dangling between religion and science.
The hopeful thing is that this oscillation is accelerating.

In democracy, the “crowd” is one single large “mind” made up of millions of

“micro-brains”.
And the machine so far…

The fourth industrial revolution has arrived.

The orga-mecha divide is narrowing.

The problems of humans has gone beyond the control

of humanity and machines are our natural remedy.

At least 600 people per legislative constituency who can devote at least 20
hours a week under your leadership, get them at least 60 days before election.

Out of 15 hours work schedule keep 4 hours separate to attend emergency

situations, everything else must be planned and must go as per schedule.

Keep a record of every big and small leaders of your constituency, know about
them, their political demands and issues they are raising.

Last 48 hours, when campaign closes, meet every volunteers in person and
listen to them.

Make proximity points in your constituency to park your resources on standby,

over and additional then the resources deployed in the booths.
