THE SIGNIFICANCE AND APPLICATION OF "BOYCOTT" IN A DEMOCRACY

  THE SIGNIFICANCE AND APPLICATION OF "BOYCOTT" IN A DEMOCRACY In a democracy, "BOYCOTT" is a powerful tool of protest by the means of non-violence. The simple meaning of Boycott is NON-PARTICIPATION or NON-COOPERATION. When there are justified reasons for Boycott, this tool is very powerful, because the people, who are the "Masters of Democracy" are able to see those reasons, as the best judges for the democracy. As the Masters of Democracy, the people see those reasons and form their opinions, may not speak on the face of it. When Any Side of the Democracy resorts to "Boycott" : 1. When the Other Side is visibly using/misusing the Might or the Power Bestowed in its hands for which there is no remedy available in the hands of the any side. 2. Where there is Application of Force by the Other Side to do something which may not be based on the legalities, natural justice, accepted conventions and accepted norms of the society, which any

WHEN THE TROUSERS (PANTS) WERE INVENTED EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD WAS WORRIED ABOUT: HOW TO MAKE WATER?

WHEN THE TROUSERS (PANTS) WERE INVENTED EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD WAS WORRIED ABOUT:  HOW TO MAKE WATER? I searched and found out that the  "TROUSERS ( or Pants )"  were invented in  6th Century B.C.  that means around 3000 years back. When the Trousers(Pants) were invented,  initially it had no outlet to make water.   The whole world was worried as to how to make water after putting the pants on..?  In fact at that time, the Pants had to be down at the time of need. Later on, the cloth of the trousers (pants) had to be cut-open to prepare an outlet for it and sealed with stitched buttons keeping it openable, for a very long time which all and many of us used with stitched buttons till the Zippers were further invented. In fact the Zippers were also invented towards end of 19th Century, say about 200 years back only. I am just mentioning an analogy. Similarly in India, everyone knows now. we have a southern state which has poll results declared just 2days back and a specific pol
