Democracy is defined as the Government of the people, by the people and for the people. It is considered the most acceptable form of Government in which every individual participates consciously and in which the people remain the sovereign power determining their destiny. India is a multicultural, multilingual, multi-religious and multi communal country. But Unity in Diversity is its strength. It is the largest Democracy in the World and is one of the oldest civilizations, with a rich cultural heritage. The Indian Constitution, which stands for national goals like Socialism and National Integration, was framed by the representatives of the Indian people over a long period of debates and discussions. The Constitution declares India to be a Sovereign, Secular, Socialist, and Democratic Republic. The Constitution of India guarantees Fundamental Rights to all its citizens. They have the Right to Equality, Right to Freedom, Right against Exploitation, Right to Freedom of Religion, Culture and Educational Rights and Right to Constitutional Remedies.

Nagasaki by the U.S.A. was a human tragedy. Prevention of a Nuclear Holocaust through the Third World War is the utmost need for humanity's survival on the Planet and maintaining world Peace and Security. Can we prevent regional conflicts from escalating into a World War and control the impulse of Nuclear Countries to resort to the use of nuclear warheads?

​

The present Global Governing Systems will not contain such a situation because they lack the 'Controlling Authority and Capacity.' They are also susceptible to domination by any 'Super Power' and its influence on the 'Global Decisions.' Under the circumstances, it is evident that all the countries should come together and put in place a "Democratic World Governing Structure" with 'Enforcing Authority' with checks and balances and save the Planet from the Nuclear Holocaust. The book reviews the effects of Population Growth, the First World War, The League of Nations, The Second World War, The United Nations, The Nonaligned Movement, and The Cold War. The Author took note of the seriousness of the World's Stockpile Of Nuclear Weapons and the other Weapons of Mass Destruction, which, if once used, the kind of Annihilation the Planet will undergo. Therefore, he has advocated four Actions: 1.Creating an alternate World Governing Structure having "Enforcing Authority" with proper checks and balances. 2. Peruse rigorous Nuclear Disarmament.3.Global Appeals for Peace and Security and 4. Strengthening human and ethical values through Value Orientation of Education.

 

The Author has discussed all these issues and put forward concrete proposals. He hopes the book receives a positive response from all concerned with the Safety of the Planet Earth.
