Man is supposed to have made a lot of progress in the art of governing the community. Tight from monarchy, man has come down to full fledged Democracy. Ultimate political powers are evenly distributed among all adults except lunatic, and criminals. The whole of the society is not ruled by a single tyrannical king. Every body has a freedom of movement and speech. Man is considered to be independent, free and an important part of political organisation. judge from the materialistic point of view it is progress because man has been able to reduce the distance and has developed the methods to gather opinion of the people. Even the huge country, like India, which could never afford to have democracy, has the means to become democrats. From the moral point of view also it seems to be progress because man has recognized the claims of man upon society, and the evils of exploitation.
The advocates of democracy always overstate their case, so that they expect democracy to bring millennium. But it is a superficial view and exists only in theory. If in the past man had suffered on the physical plane, now his agony is spiritual. Ever, under the democracy an ordinary man enjoys right only in theory but not in practice. They cannot make independent judgments because their brains are stuffed with preconceived nations, ready-made opinions.
Moreover, the information they get is no more true but the manipulations of journalists and other dynamic personalities of the press. The powerful section of the society makes the working of democracy completely undemocratic. Corruption is a bye products of democracy, exploitation is carried on under a camouflage and all types of evil practices appear. Democracy has rather increased the gap between the rich and the poor and the strong and the weak. The discrimination between man and man has deepened which has given birth to hatred for others, lack of the sense of brotherhood, favouritism and so many other evils which lead us to destruction. Decidedly it helps in the degeneration of man though in theory it may espouse the cause of man.
If we review the internal situation we will find that man has degenerated to the level of brutes. He is always guided by the desire of dominating others. This is the reason that has developed lust for power in man. He is always busy in inventing more and more powerful and destructive weapons so that others fear him and may worship him. Despite the outward show of humanitarianism, ill-feelings lurk in the hearts of the people. Nations are made puppets by the bigger nations without bothering about the poor nations. International politics has been reduced to hypocrisy and false-hood. It is now no more based on politics of ideals but politics governed by events.
Every country has to take its stand after considering the interest of big countries. Even the national politics is governed by international considerations. Big countries play a great role in the internal affairs of the smaller countries. The lust for power is completely blind and treads upon all human considerations. Radhakrishnan has correctly said, "Irreligion is our malady and religion the only cure."
By religion he means morality as religion and morality are closely related. The person having belief in religion is always God-fearing. His actions are always guided by humanistic considerations which add to his moral outlook. Even on the individual level man considers that it is not prayer that causes things to go as he wishes, but knowledge of natural laws . The power he acquires in this way is greater and much reliable than that is supposed to be has recognised limits but the powers of science have no known limits. as result his faith in God and religion is decaying day by day. Man has become statistical in thinking.
The world needs a moral regeneration because perhaps the devil is at work upon this planet. If the destructions caused by the devil are not counteracted the consequences may be dangerous and devastating. It is necessary that nations may develop a moral outlook. Man will have to divert from his present path of progress because its destination is dissatisfaction which will ultimately bring an end to humanity. Religion must get a high esteem in our daily life. Modern progress should be viewed from the moral point of view and given a turn which may serve humanity. It is not progress in the real sense of the word because man has not improved as far as humanitarianism is concerned.
