Functions Article (Raja): The national protocol, first of all functions of the sovereign. The main uses of the standard are:

Organization State: In implementing these multiple tasks, the sovereign is attended by ministers, counselors, secretaries, and their subordinates. There Finance, Security Affairs National Affairs, Education, Transportation, Health, Defence, etc. Departments Surveillance

System Spy: To control the illegal activities throughout the kingdom, the sovereign has the police organization. The police used to go everywhere in their areas to see that no illegal activities were occurring and if so, could put these rights or to have the same knowledge of the rule. The sovereign also had a spy working system in the United Kingdom and other countries which would bring each of the activities in the Kingdom and abroad to knowledge rule.

Finance: The rule to use for some products (usually meetings) by the producers to cover the cost of government. These funds have been spent by the sovereign for personal use, so the Money can not correspond to the same yasgyas directed by Raja. These Yagi and personal expenses were covered by the amounts received by the vassal states and other taxes collected by the Raja. Once Yudhisthara Rajah wants to maintain an Ashwamedh Yagya, but there was no money in the treasury of other perceived 1:06 proportion of producers. The Rajah had to find money from other sources. Good accountal all the money has been kept in the Treasury under the overall control of the Raja.

Defense: The Rajah had to maintain an army to protect the kingdom from external attacks. Most of the revenues of the Rajah "was spent in the army and weapons. Police internal security has been maintained.

Foreign Affairs: The Rajah had to deal with the Rajah of other countries. There was no a system of vassal states under the Rajah Chakravarty vassal states were independent, but had to send the annual contribution to central and gifts Rajha Yagya etc. In return These vassal states were protected by Central Rajah against foreign aggression .. To know what is happening in other countries, the Rajah had Rahdoots good system that keeps Rajah If something was going against him in this country. The Rajah had also affected people in other countries. They had immunity diplomatic as that granted these days and called the immunity of ambassadors. They can not be processed in these countries and have been returned to their respective countries for necessary action.

Jobs for the public welfare: The Rajah was responsible for the welfare of the public. For this Gurukul were opened to education, where students of all persons regardless Varna received his education .. There was the hospital for treatment of patients. Roads were built for the convenience of the public. The rivers were tamed for the supply of drinking water and irrigation Yagya The Rajah held the god of rain in right hand so that the rains were there time and in sufficient quantity. There was no famine that production was sufficient.

Democracy at work: Although not the rule of cracks in ancient times, democracy has spread in a limited way. The Rajah Rajah was selected out with the consent of a lawyer or Sabha. When Rama Rajah Rajah Dasratha wanted Vashist Guru consulted, who advised him to obtain approval for his ministers, etc. Then, these consultants have been elected members people from different professions Sabha They used to carry the day advising the Rajah update capabilities. When the Rajah did not behave well, these advisers have power to eliminate or kill an instance of Rajah bathroom there. He became cruel mends the public and there despite the warning. He is dead and another person, that was a minor was the Rajah Rajah should be of the same dynasty. Thus, the directors have the power to eliminate bad raja and make another person as Rajah

The Rajah attacked other realms, or to annex the kingdom in the kingdom, and to deliver the kingdom conquered the Raja defeated after taking some gifts him or make him his vassal state. In case of death of the Raja in battle, his son took the Rajah to rule as a vassal state. Where the kingdom was annexed by the kingdom to conquer another realm, people have been enslaved and have the same right to govern the people of the Kingdom of origin had, unlike the current system of colonialism.

Judiciary: there was a system of panchayats in the villages, who decided all issues. above the villages, there was a ten villages Mukhi, to which the appeal If you could go to the complainant was not satisfied with the decision of the panchayat. Mukhi Then there was a hundred villages and the Rajah was at the height of the judiciary. There was no Samritis for Mukhi orientation in the performance of their duties. In a petition, there were four gradient be eliminated. At first, there was a request. Then The accused was asked to produce the defense within fifteen days, which could be extended two weeks, if requested. After that there is no extension and the case decided ex-parte. In the case of the defense has been filed, the matter was argued before the court and a decision was made without undue delay.

International Politics: The Rajah Rajah had interaction with other countries in trade, aid in battles, etc. For such agreements have been concluded reached Rama concluded with the death of Bali Sugriva Vibhisana Ravana's death. These agreements in the current period's help others. The agreements concluded by Rama, have been held in the presence of water or agni. As already pointed to a system of vassal states as well. Enemy war, there were laws of war as one man to fight one, a fight with another horse in the horse, the one with the arrow to fight another with an arrow. The agreements were made in early Mahabharta. The offense is taken seriously and in one case, caused a branch, the other had reason to commit such violation as well. Similarly, there are rules to observe in time of peace.

Functions of public opinion: We have specific duties assigned to the public as everyone, regardless of their membership in Vara, participated in the battles against the enemy. In Mahabharta, all persons who have joined the war. We have been under Muslim rule, because at that time the war was being waged by the Kshatriyas only and, as such, three-quarters of the population were out of battles. Myocardial no concern that the rules because they were not made to fight. This led to the defeat of the Rajput Rajas.

Achieving mass democracy was the great triumph of the twentieth century. Learning to live with it will be the greatest achievement of the twenty-first century. A rising tide of discontent is posing a major crisis for systems of mass democracy: the evidence is clear to see in reduced turnout and party membership and in opinion surveys. The failures of politicians have played their part but, Gerry Stoker argues, equally important are the dysfunctional political stances and styles adopted by many citizens. Democratic politics, he argues, is doomed to disappoint because it involves collective decision-making, demands complicated communication and generally produces a messy compromise–one size fits no one. So what is the solution? Stoker suggests that democracy–and the political class–must create a new politics, making it as easy as possible for as many people as possible to express and debate their political preferences.
