Human Values and Ethics in Indian Politics
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Political philosophy, or political theory, is the study of topics such as politics, liberty, justice, property, rights, law, and the enforcement of a legal code by authority: what they are, why (or even if) they are needed, what, if anything, makes a government legitimate, what rights and freedoms it should protect and why, what form it should take and why, what the law is, and what duties citizens owe to a legitimate government, if any, and when it may be legitimately overthrown, if ever. In a vernacular sense, the term "political philosophy" often refers to a general view, or specific ethic, political belief or attitude, about politics, synonymous to the term "political ideology".Political philosophy is considered by some to be a sub-discipline of political science; however, the name generally attributed to this form of political enquiry is political theory, a discipline which has a closer methodology to the theoretical fields in the social sciences (like economic theory) than to philosophical argumentation (like that of moral philosophy or aesthetics).Administration means not only the public administration but it includes also all activities of the government set up undertaken to provide social, economic, defence and other services to the citizens for their all round development, protection and peaceful living. It is required to have capability to acquire the changes in society for the welfare of the citizens. Its successes and failures depend upon execution of plans and programmes by its agencies and institutions. A good plan can be successful only with clean, effective and impartial administration. A large number of public servants and functionaries are involved at different levels of administration to meet the demands of people and to check their conduct is a difficult task. We see that influences exercised by political parties, pressure groups and other lobbies affect the duties and responsibilities of the administration. There is huge problem to aintain the moral standards and human values in the conduct of public affairs in democratic setup of Indian administration. As the character, credibility and future of the government depends upon ethics and fulfilment of the social responsibilities by the public servants hence it is the first duty of the centre as well as state governments to provide a clean administration by inculcating the ethics and human values in their administration.
