This book is an attempt to point out and remove the defects of democracy. Political power and authority to be effective, must be decentralized.It is generally believed that democracy, though not perfect, is yet the best form of government created by man. However, with all its merits, democracy leaves scope for betterment. The present book is an attempt to point out and remove the defects of democracy. Political power and authority, to be effective, must be decentralised. Decentralisation is necessary for social justice and people's participation in decision making. People must be provided political literacy. It is unrealistic to expect illiterate and ill-informed people to understand political literacy. It is unrealistic to expect illiterate and ill-informed people to understand political and economic issues rationally and comprehensively. Further, democracy without accountability means little. As such all those who exercise political power, must be accountable for their decisions. Among freedoms, the freedom of expression is of fundamental importance.

Shamarpa (Tibetan: , Wylie: zhwa dmar pa; literally, "Person (i.e. Holder) of the Red Crown"),[1] also known as Shamar Rinpoche, or more formally Kunzig Shamar Rinpoche, is a lineage holder of the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism and claims to be the mind manifestation of Amit bha.

One of them would wear the Black Hat and the other a Red Hat." [3] The Fifth Dalai Lama saw the Shamarpa equal to the Karmapa: "Since Je Chen-nga Thamchad Khyenpa Chokyi Dragpa (the Fourth Shamarpa) ascended the throne of the Phagdru dynasty, there was no longer any difference between the Red Hat and the Black Hat Karmapas. This was the reason why I afforded them both equal status.".[4] Until the times when the inthronisation of the Shamarpas was forbidden by the government of Central-Tibet
