Relevance of Swami Vivekananda’s idea of Man making in Indian Political Thought

Author Name : Debarati Das

ABSTRACT Swami Vivekananda travelled in various countries and from his travels he came to the conclusion that without organization nothing great and permanent can be done. In a country like India, at our present stage of development – it does not seem to me well advised to start an organization on a democratic basis in which every member has an equal voice, and decisions are arrived at by a majority of the votes of the community. With the West the case is different. Amongst us also, when with the spread of education we shall learn to sacrifice, to stand above our individuals interests and concerns, for the good of the community or the nation at large, then it would be possible to work on a democratic basis. Taking this into consideration, we should have for our organization at present a dictator whose orders everyone should obey. Then in the fullness of time, it will be guided by the opinion and consent of the members.
