Good Governance

Only fools quarrel over forms of government. What matters is intrinsic merits. The duties of the government are: they should provide for peace, security, economic self- sufficiency etc. No government could be thought good if it did not fulfill its essential duties. The common masses want three basic needs of life fulfilled—food, clothing and housing. They do not care two hoots for the form of the government. Different forms of government are the concern of the students of political science but they are all the same to an ordinary man who is engrossed from head to foot in making arrangements for his very living. Any government that governs well is acceptable. Good administration is the essential thing. A bad and unjust administration would make the people unhappy even under the best form of government.
