Is democracy and Financial accountability a solution

The one and only free public forum for Bohras. The focus of this forum is the reform movement, the Dawoodi Bohra faith and, of course, the corrupt priesthood. But the discussion is in no way restricted to the Bohras alone.

Is democracy and Financial accountability a solution

Unread post by asad » Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:27 am

Time and again we have been asking for democratic setup in Jamaat and Financial accountability from Kothar. Are this realistic goals? Because if we see example of India the biggest democracy who publishes a budget report every year mired in corruption more then kothar.

So are we chasing the wrong goose and do we need to realign our strategy to attain some success. People are happy and satisfied with Kothar on macro level, on micro level people have problems, what can be a better plan to make people realise that something really is wrong with the whole setup and their is more than what meets the eye.

Hi Asad

Definitition of democracy has to be understood in proper context, there are various kinds of democracy which exist in this world. Also there are hybrid governance mechanism such as Democratic Monarchy or Leadership Democracy.

No system is a foolproof system, rejecting every system with this fear would not lead to any solution. If we don’t have a role model example, we shall create one, and if we see a decadent example, we shall learn from its fallacies rather then get discouraged.

Keeping Fatimid / Ismaili… Bohra faith and regulations in perspective we can still create a holistic system of governance with internal control checks to prevent or reduce cases of corruption morally and financially.

If we observe the current governance system in our community, it majorly fits into democratic monarchy with few exception or loopholes.

Dai being the prime leader, has administration managed by Mazoon and Mukasir and further jurisdictionally governed by Amils. There is a cabinet of Ministers who handles various portfolios (finance, education, logistics, development etc).

Once financial accountability is established and every penny collected and spent is counted and optimized, then the benefit of this governance will be more satisfying at micro and macro levels.

Every system of governance adheres or inspires from written code of conduct, held in high respect and authority. From secular governments to divine religions have established written code of conducts to regulate people behaviour morally, financially, socially. Mainstream Islam is a subtle example of Democracy at broader scale, every muslim across countries adheres to laws laid down in Quran. Mullas, Maulvis and Muslim scholars merely becomes minsters or facilitators deriving authority or respect from understanding of Quran.

Fantastic yes our system is world best system of governance but the people who are involved are very known of Quran but apply his knowledge only to fulfeel their own materialistic benefits .

Bro humanbeing,

You rightly said that the present dawat governance fits into democratic monarchy but with loopholes and to simplify it further :-
humanbeing wrote:Dai being the prime leader, has administration managed by Mazoon and Mukasir and further jurisdictionally governed by Amils. There is a cabinet of Ministers who handles various portfolios (finance, education, logistics, development etc).
Dai is the Prime Minister and the subsequent two important portfolios of defence and finance is given to Mazun and Mukasir, the zadas could be presumed as other cabinet ministers with limited role BUT the problem is that the defence minister is sidelined and continously absent in the parliament, the finance minister too is rarely seen due to which the entire limelight is hogged by the not so important cabinet ministers. Hence all decisions are taken by the subordinates and the key ministers with important portfolios are mere dummies. The icing on the cake is that the Prime Minister is silent and moves and acts only on the instructions of the party head (Sonia Gandhi).... in this case the manhoos. The end result is total chaos, the nation is put to ransom which results in total confusion and MASS CORRUPTION.

You ignorant dung-head. You only know the names Mazoon and Mukasir but not what their functions are. They and other Hadoods are doing exactly what they are supposed to. They are not supposed to be in the limelight. The running of worldly affairs is only a side business of the Dawat and the lesser important people are doing it. They are doing their function too, taking the limelight and tedious burden away from the important people. As for the Mansoos. Manhoos, zina zadas and pig(=Umar) lovers like you can not even comprehend him and his functions.

You feet licking abde, what are they doing that they are supposed to do ? Any reason why they are not supposed to be in the limelight and is hogging the limelight a prerogative of the dai alone ? Why wasnt the mazun present during nass ceremony, urus of his father (51st dai) and salgirah of his dai, is it one of the commands in daimul islam ?

Running of worldly affairs is the MAIN business of this dawat under the leadership of the present dai and his carbon copy, the manhoos but it is beyond your pea sized brain to understand a simple difference between SIDE BUSINESS and MAIN BUSINESS, see the number of ziafats, mafsusiyats, hadiyats etc in return for crores of rupees.

REALLY ??? Then why are all the kothar sponsored websites flashing the photos and other activities of the dai and manhoos only ?

Aa@@se lickers of modi, thackerey and Kafan Chors like your dai and people who encourage him in his unislamic, inhuman and evil practices are the only eligible people who can comprehend the future DON (Manhoos).

tsk tsk, losing our temper are we? resorting to the classic ploy of the low class mawali's? when cornered, abuse and threaten? you are so predictable... :cry:

you and your abde regressive friends should be trembling in their soiled undies, that so many 'silent' members exist, who come here, read and monitor this forum. they are all buried deep in your regular jamaats, fee paying, ejamat card holding agents of change, copying posts from here and circulating them all over the world. fyi, many of them are members of the syedna's family, some of them actually feel pangs of guilt as their conscience is stirred, unlike an idiot like you who believes that syedna is mojiza na saheb inspite of him committing grevious sins!

you are so deserving of the title 'champion idiot'.
