The World: A Nation Only!

'One World: One Nation'
The above statement is quixotic and high-headed (Agreeably like an assured hoax). However, all its impracticality has been ushered in by the current situation of the world. Nations and individuals who have been politically primed by divisive and nationalistic politicians tend to forget the purpose for the creation of the country - administration, protection and cultural identification.

Our world is too divided to appreciate the benefits of an earth-wide union. While previous attempts at this have been made by the global community (in puncto League of Nations, United Nations), these attempts have been substantially mellowed by the incompetence of nations. Today, the idea has vast support across borders under different monikers - World government, One World Government, One Nation etc. 

The entire intricacy and operation of this colossal power can be read in books such as The Idea of World Government, Political Globalization, Global Democracy etc. However, OneWorld shall restrain itself to briefly summarizing the idea. The government would essentially subdue the powers of the subordinate nation-states. While the daily administration of regions would be under the nation-states, the essential portfolio powers (defence, finance and home ministries) would be under the jurisdiction of the world government. Essentially, a democratic system has been developed to disallow the dominance of any culture or community above others. 

How? According to the preferential theory, there are two major systems to follow - World Democracy or World Communism. The latter advocates against this flaw by promoting a government which is ruled by the proletariat, which has no nationality (As of accordance to The Communist Manifesto). To add on, it states that Marxist communism is only fulfilled with the union of all nations. It reaches its true potential (So the Internationale says) when such conditions are achieved.

The former system dictates for a semi-proportional semi-electoral democracy. In this case, proportional representation is advocated for at a higher-level council. This form prevents the dominance or subordination of smaller ethnic cultures, nationalities etc. 

The most prominent advantages are noticeable at first glance - non-nuclear proliferation, no war, financial backing, the rise of humanism in diplomacy (hopefully). When the nations unite, the world will awake. While the idea is still impractical, the tribulations of propagating such ideals are long past. The movements have begun to dismiss nationalism. Patriotism will endure as the new strain of support to the Earth. For the time has come to crown patriotism at the top of political virtue whilst trashing nationalism for its suspicious attitude. 

OneWorld believes that One World is nearer today to a dream than a reality. However, times have changed, and will too. The crowning glory of humanity awaits it at the pulpit of a world-nation.

The Dawn of Isratin

  ‘The metaphor for Palestine is stronger than the Palestine of reality’ – Mahmoud Darwish, Palestinian Poet. Dark plumes of smoke rose in the air, heralding a doom of unendurable potency. Widow and Widower, Orphan and Vilomah, all formed in an instant – as a missile crashes into their building. They are the unwilling victims of a war they are not part of. As children cry for their dead fathers, and vice versa, who really cares about the idea of Palestine if it comes at a cost which cannot and should not be borne. Except there is no alternative. Palestinians would not hesitate to live in Israel, but they are not allowed. Persecution, oppression, execution: that is the only fate which meets those who try to cross those imaginary lines which mark Israel from Palestine. And for those imaginary lines, wars are fought, homes are ravaged and people, precious people who are born with one and only life, are killed, mercilessly, causelessly, and inhumanely.  Although many people mark this con

Economy of India: Currently

Currently, our economy is at the lower edge of the business cycle. It will have fallen to a (Moody's) forecasted growth rate of 5.8 per-cent in the fiscal year 2020. The Economy of India is currently trying to improve but remains under duress. The incumbent BJP of India has delivered an influx of legislation upon the pressing issue. From the removal of 'angel' tax to the expedited refund of GST for MSMEs, the government has procured a slew of measures for averting a profound economic slowdown. Lamentably, the government's political moguls seem not to pay much heed to the increasingly devastating problem. In their assemblies and discourses, they tend to bring about more populist ideologies in their manifestos rather than economic ones.  While the multitudes are affected by this intense situation, the publicly mandated government's regulation is proving slightly inefficient. These laws seem to protect and conserve the uppermost one per-cent of the nation. India

The End of Poverty

  ‘The world’s hunger is getting ridiculous. There’s more fruit in a rich man’s shampoo than on a poor man’s plate.’ The world lies in shambles. Hunger, poverty and disease threaten to rip apart the fabric that is humanity. Fed on a diet of elitism, with a side of abject hunger, how do we save the world? There is no silver bullet of a cure, no panacea for poverty: but one feasible solution exists. Universal Basic Income (UBI). With a perfect track record in trials and no lack of supporting evidence, we have found the needle to stitch back the fabric of humanity. All we need to do is use it. What is UBI? Universal Basic Income is a social security and welfare programme that aims to provide every person within a nation a certain preordained inflation-adjusted amount periodically with no contingencies attached regardless of their social status, gender, creed, race, sexuality, etc. This scheme is often called a negative income tax (although the terms have different meanings) or minimum inc
