Judging the Present Dai
Posted: Tue Nov 23, 2010 3:39 am
Syedna Saheb is an Authoritarian ruler not an ambassador of peace and mercy as claimed. Please judge him by the definition of the authoritarianism as defined by Theodore M. Vestal of Oklahoma State University–Stillwater:-
"Highly concentrated and centralized power structures" in which power is generated and maintained by a "repressive system that excludes potential challengers" and uses militant groups and mass organizations to "mobilize people around the goals of the authoritarian rule.
Authoritarian rule works on principles:-
1) rule of men, not rule of law, (Syedna Saheb has been prescribed as ‘A government within a government’ and ‘A Law unto himself’)
2) forced decisions (Misaq to Dai, Raza, Wajebat, Sabeel, ownership of masjids and communal properties),
3) all important decisions made by unconcerned officials behind closed doors, (Al Wazrat-e-Aalia)
4) a bureaucracy operated quite independently of rules and ethics, (Autocratic functioning of Shahzadas and Amils),
5) the informal and unregulated exercise of power (Jamatkharij and Baraat, E-Jamat Cards)
6) leadership that is "self-appointed and cannot be displaced by citizens' free choice, (choice and appointment of successive Dai in the same family)
7) no guarantee of civil liberties or tolerance for meaningful opposition; (the dictates to vote for candidates supported by the Syedna, Dress code, reading newspapers and periodicals etc)
8. Weakening of civil society, "No freedom to create a broad range of groups, organizations, and political parties to question the decisions of rulers", with instead an "attempt to impose controls on virtually all elements of society", (dictates to boycott banks, to dissolve social organizations like Bohra Youth Association),
9) Power stability maintained by "control over and support of the militants to provide security to the system and control of society; (Shabab, Tanzeem, Burhani scouts, Burhani Guards, violent physical attacks, extortion of money, ransacking houses and offices),
10) control of internal opposition and dissent; (Controversy of Zahir Batin, Bashing Mazoon-e-Dawat)
11) creation of allegiance through various means. (Misaq to Dai on every occasion),
Sorry to say that Present Dai is a merciless Dictator
