What an aspiring politician should be? We all may have different and sometimes strange ideas about it. But as the great Chanakya said, “If politics is an art of governance, it can be taught.” So was the great Greek Plato, who said, “A king must be philosopher and virtues make a king as a philosopher king, if virtue is knowledge it can be taught.” So let us learn and teach the virtues of politics. Generally it is believed that, there is no need of education to become a politician. But, if you think seriously and look at politicians around you, you feel, it is badly needed.
The great Greek philosopher Aristotle has said, “Some people are born to rule and others are born to be ruled.” It is the very first step every aspiring politician must understand. But, he made his statement in a time when democracy existed in a totally different form, unlike as it is today. Thus, nobody can take anything for granted in public life. Look before you leap. You have to go into the merit of the thought, which convinced you to enter the public life. Why should I join public life or politics per say? Your decision on this question shall enable you to decide whether you are born to rule or to be ruled by others? We hope all those who have joined politics have had the basic instinct to wield the power and serve the people.
To become a ruler who is loved and respected by the people, one has to concentrate on becoming a statesman, than a seasoned politician. Now you may get a question that what is the difference between a politician and a statesman? Following is the answer to this question:
| Areas | Statesmen | Politician |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Life | A person of high moral and ethical standards. Is ready to sacrifice anything to protect it. | A person seeks personal gains first. By hook or by crook. |
| Method of functioning | Will always think before taking any step. Would definitely consider long term and short term impact of the action, decision and step intended to take. | Will prefer end justifies all the means. |
| Social Life | Will live and act as a responsible member of the society. Would be sensitive about the people, resources and nature. | Will behave and act irresponsibly. Insensitive towards the nature, selfish with people. |
| Personal Life | Live a need based life. Would always insist upon fulfilling the basic needs. Would take what one requires, than what one wants. | Prefers greed based life. Tries to grab more than needed and have unending wants. |
| Political View | All the Social, Political, Economic and related institutions are made for the welfare of the people. Removal of socio – economic, political bondages of human civilization is main aim behind being in politics | Tries to manipulate and misuse all the socio-economic, political and legal machineries for petty and personal gains. |
| Electoral Politics | Elections are a medium of expression of people’s will and consent to the representative system and persons. Tries to create an inclusive system, where everyone has a chance. | Create rifts, promotes divisions of identities. Set one individual against another. One group against another for the sake of vote bank politics. |
| Economic Views | Welfare economy with a futuristic foresighted policy. Leaps into future without compromising present needs. Believes in growth of each and everyone, not even a single person should remain hungry. | Does not have any clear view about the political-economy. |
| Emotional Aspects | A very sensitive and generous person. Will be ready to give preference to others happiness over his own. Will feel and share the joy and sorrow of the society. | Is mostly emotionless person. Doesn’t care about others emotions and feelings. |
| Public Contact | Will always be ready to listen to others with patience, never tries to impose his views over others, agrees and disagrees on issues and not with the person. | Will try to manipulate the situation and impose his views, authoritative, cannot distinguish between person and issue. Disagreement with thoughts means disagreement with person, vive-a-versa. |
Therefore, it is our firm belief that. ‘it is very easy to jump into politics and become a seasonal politician, but, it is very difficult and painstaking to become a statesman.’ A politician is forgotten by the people as soon as he/she is out of power or politics. But a statesmen is never forgotten, even if he/she doesn’t holds any power or position. Like Gandhiji, Martin Luther King Jr., Jayprakash Narayan and Al-Gore.
