The common intention in a democracy can   only   be found if the individual intention of every   individual is taken into consideration. The common inten tion cannot be forced upon individuals and neither the individual can push forth his intention as the common intention. He can only claim his intention to the fullest extent.

In an orchestra every individual has a part to play, no one is lesser than the other and every sound has its role in the orchestra. The most important aspect is harmony which has been defined by the author as collective action which is communal and not statistical. No one can claim in an orchestra that the cello trumps the drums etc. But the communal action of every individual is the harmony in music that the orchestra produces. This process is constitutionalism and the outcome is democracy. The process therefore directly impacts the outcome and infact in a sense is the outcom...

Criminal Judicial system of any country more or less is dependent on the investigation report which have direct link with crime conviction ratio .

Jammu &Kashmir is a land of promise, a promise to religion, culture, nation and most importantly politics. Kashmir has gone through various invasions but has always stood its ground. Many times those who came as friends have turned its foe yet the issue for everyone who is not involved in this issue has always been that why even after so many invasions, Kashmir is hostile to invaders. The demands of the people of Kashmir can never be met as those who rule it have always had a different plan for it. The people of J&K now no longer have any belief on their rulers and rightly so, as everyone has their own plan for them as per their personal agenda. The general population of J&K believes that they have never received what they want and therefore they don’t have any recourse to justice as they have never received it. The general public of India on the other hand believes that J&K should feel grateful to India for supporting it so long. But they fail to comprehend that J...
