intellocracy

Third most important aspect, after health and education, of intellocratic governance is availability of free and speedy justice to all the citizens. For this, Intellocracy provides ultimate authority to it, and simultaneously expects ultimate performance and earning by it ultimate respect of the people by its performance, and not by mere authority. For earning this respect, the judiciary has to provide speedy justice to the people.Then only, it shall be considered to have the ultimate wisdom of the nation. With current state of judiciary around the world, it is a herculean task but under Intellocracy it has to be done by every member of judiciary or leave the judicial system. For this ultimate wisdom of judiciary, its functioning shall be logic-based instead of being rule-based or law-based. So laws in intellocracy shall be very brief and of indicative nature only.
One most important empowerment of judiciary is to make it above the ruling community of the nation and to have a tab over them in the interest of the nation only. The nation shall be above all followed by the people.
No Inherent Powers
judiciary shall not have any inherent powers of doing anything and acting in any way. The facts presented to it have to be subjected to logic and adjudicated. The judiciary shall not have any powers to add to or subtract from the presented facts.
No Power for Contempt of Courts
Contempt of court provision puts judiciary above public criticism, which is often misused by the judiciary. So, Intellocracy does not support this provision. The judiciary shall have to earn ultimate respect by it performance in serving the nation and its people.
Government Functioning
The judicial role with respect to governance of the country shall be restricted to formation of the government and shall not be allowed to audit performance of a legally formed government.
Punishment Criteria
Intellocracy does not support ‘equal punishment for equal fault criterion, but rules ‘punishment proportional to status’ of the defaulter. For taking a bribe of Rs 100/- a fourth class employee may be sentenced to a month’s imprisonment, but a government officer shall be subjected to death penalty for the same crime. This provision is to eliminate any possibility of misuse of authority by any person.
Crime and Punishment
Intellocracy puts all crimes under three categories - anti-national, anti-social, and anti-moral. Misuse of official authority, Illegal foreign relationships, food adultration and production/distribution of narcotics and intoxicants are the anti-national crimes for which death penalty may be awarded. Murder, trespassing woman’s modesty, public display of religious leanings, encroachment of public properties, undue business profiteering, disobedience of family norms, etc. are social crimes for which the culprit may be castrated. Thefts, dishonesty, etc are moral crimes for which the culprit may be sent to a labor farm.

Education is the second most important function of an Intellocratic government after free health services to the people. Educational feature of Intellocracy has two important ingredients - opportunities to all for uniform and free education, and avoidance of competition through strategic planning. Competition exists only when an imbalance of demand and supply is there for want of proper planning. Intellocracy stresses on advance planning in all sectors including education. Commercialization of educational services is totally prohibited in Intellocracy to avoid subversion of Intellectual capability to economic resourcefulness.
Education has two categories - academic for acquiring basic knowledge, and vocation, for application of the basic knowledge, the second may be called applied education or training also.
Various levels of education in the two categories are depicted in the diagram below.

A. Academic Education

The academic education has a total of six levels -
1. Primary :
A five year course concentrated on reading and writing of mother tongue of the children, along with basic knowledge of Arithmatics and history and geography of the local region of the students.

4. Graduate :
Three year courses after inter level course in various sectors of education with focus on particular subjects empowering the students with thorough knowledge of their fields of studies.

5. Research :
Research in Vocational subjects is same as that in Academic subjects but with a higher rating.

Intellocracy’s three basic features are - health, education, and justice - available to all free and uniformly. Here, I take my subject forward on health. This program is based on three pillars -
1. Healthy parents give birth to a limited number of healthy children and take proper care of them.
2. Bad social environment and malnutrition affect children first and make them sick.
3. Medical services are required for the sick and victims of accidents, so should not be allowed to become a business. Promoting this business means promoting sickness.
Intellocratic strategy on health is two-fold - disease prevention and disease curing measures.
Disease Prevention Measures
1. Total Ban on Narcotics and Intoxicants
Production, distribution and import of all sorts of narcotics and intoxicants is declared a crime under intellocracy, for which death penalty is prescribed without any exceptions. Even if some people are habitual and need these for their survival, intellocracy prefers termination of their lives to save rest of the people from becoming sick.
2. Social Forestry
This drive includes planting trees on all road, rail and water-channel sides, not only to improve environment but also for economic gains to the nation. Trees smoothen scorching heats and shivering colds of barren lands - two principal reasons for most of the diseases. All plants and trees are not beneficial to humans and under all circumstances, so these need be carefully selected to suit local climate and populace.
3. Environment Protection
Environment is usually spoilt by industrial wastes, effluents, flues and noises. These can not be prevented from coming into existence, but need be quickly and locally degraded to acceptable limits. Water channels are to be fully safeguarded from these. Habits of people to dispose off their body’s wastes and refuges anywhere, and stray animals are other causes of environmental degradation for which strict and ruthless social discipline measures shall be adopted under Intellocracy.
4. Family Planning
When we move from quantitative approach of democracy to qualitative approach of Intellocracy, and promote social discipline, family size gets automatically regulated. But in the beginning and depending on the local circumstances, population regulation and control measures are to be strictly and uniformly implemented.
5. Food and Nutrition
About food, there are two general rules - fast degradable foods, if not extracted quickly from the body, and hard-to-digest foods cause diseases. Further, their togetherness in the body has compounded effects. Since this is a personalized sector, Intellocracy puts stress on education on food habits and choices.
6. Hygiene and Cleanliness
This is subject of civic senses in a society for which right education is the solution. But for public places, Intellocracy is in favor of making legal provisions. For example stray animals are to be totally eliminated from streets of human habitations.
Disease Curing Measures
With disease prevention measures, diseases are expected to get minimized, even then accidents do take place. So, Intellocracy is geared to take utmost care of contingencies. For this, few but very advances medical service units shall be established at points abut 100 km apart from each other throughout the country, whose services will be free for all.

Well-being of people of the nation is the primary objective of intellocracy. For ensuring it, Gross National Happiness (GNH) is chosen as the parameter. This is based not only on the health of each individual but also equitable distribution of the national resources amongst all citizens. National happiness is proportional to quality of life of an an average person and inversely proportional to income gap between the highest and the lowest levels of the society. Thus -

Gross National Happiness
= [Quality of Life of Average Citizen/Income Gap between richest and the poorest]

For achieving this, the intellocratic government’s priority is set at general cleanliness in the country, couple with high quality of free and uniform health services available to all citizens in the country, free and uniform educational opportunities to all and speedy justice administration.
GNH is the superset of GNP of the nation based on material aswell as non-material progress of the country. This involves harmonious inter-human relationships in the society, and harmonizing the lives of the people with local natural environment. Putting national resources to use for crime control and curing diseases are their negative uses. Instead, the Intellocracy makes use of the national resources for promoting harmony in the society and health of the people. The GNH give negative marking for such negative usages of the national resources.
To promote GNH, Intellocracy bans totally production and distribution of narcotics and intoxicants, including alcoholic drinks, tobacco and its products, etc. in the country. For indulgence in such activities, Intellocracy provides for a death sentence. in democracie through out the world, maximum crimes against women are committed under influence of alcohol or some other intoxicant.
Another important ingradients of the GNH are Socially Responsible investments by the Corporate sector of the country, i.e. putting more and more money in projects which spread happiness in the society, viz ecologically sustainable practices, profit sharing with employees and due care for share-holders, not merely profit-wise but with humanitarian considerations too. It establishes a concept that financial profits do not take into consideration unaccounted damages to ecology and other social aspects, which may make sustenance of human economy impossible in the near future.

Intellocracy’s main purpose is to keep the society in healthy state, for which this system of governance has paid special attention to social reforms. Intellocracy means that the nation utilizes the services of its intellectuals for its progress. It aims at setting in motion an evolutionary process in every individual to develop in him a higher level intellectualism. It provides to every citizen equal opportunities of health, education and justice to empower him to evolve himself. For this purpose, uniform civil code for all in the country, and uniform laws for all territories of the country.

Intellocracy expects its citizens in the interest of all to pay a price for progress in terms of minor curbs on unbridled freedom of democratic rights, and public display of religious practices. Intellocracy is to provide retributive justice to all, and a share in national wealth to all. Intellocracy is going to affect adversely top 10% exploiters of the country’s resources because they won’t be allowed to usurp whatever they like and have political power under their tab. Thus, loss to top 10% shall be gained by the rest 90% population of the country.

Intellocracy is not opposed to democracy, but it refines the latter, to make it more responsive and humanistic. It provides an illiterate unemployed ill-abused person a suitable means of earning, a sense of self-respect, a share in the national wealth, matching health and educational services, and above all speedy justice. In return, it takes away from his right to vote in the democratic process, until he becomes capable of understanding proper use of his voting rights in formation of a responsive government.

Role of Women in Society
A healthy society is born of and nurtured by healthy and respected women of the nation, so their use as merely a sex-toy or a show-piece is prohibited in Intellocracy. Their primary work-fields are their home where future of the nation, the children, is brought up. Family care is also important for social health. So, women, in general, will not be required or allowed to work out of their homes. This shall enhance respectability of both - the homely women and the working men, and provide them utmost psychological satisfaction. If at all, some exceptionally talented woman chooses to work outside her home, she will be allowed to work only for 4 hours a day, to provide her an opportunity to take care of her family.

This is not to undermine capability of women but to have optimal utilization of this the most precious asset of the nation. Intellocracy is not gender-biased, and does not differentiate its constituents on any other basis except their intellectual capability. As far as women are concerned, their intellectual capability is to be utilized for a healthy happy society and for building up a future for the nation.

Uniform Civil Code

Intellocracy does not differentiate its constituents on any other basis such as caste, creed, region, etc., except their intellectual capabilities. So to put all the people at par socially, a uniform civil code in respect of marriage, procreation, divorce and other such matters, shall be made binding on all the citizens and in all the regions of the country.

Rights and Restrains
All rights and opportunities have some in-built restrictions and responsibilities for the citizens, which must be understood clearly. Every gain has a price to be paid. Intellocracy is designed to provide for fast progress of its constituents, by abridgement of their unbridled undesirable rights.

In general, it may be said the Intellocracy does not provide any rights to its citizens, but it certainly provides equal opportunities to all to develop themselves. Technically, every citizen has only rights of equal opportunities, where as his achievements shall be dependent on his capabilities. Simultaneously, Intellocracy bridles liberty of its constituents to bring social discipline without which no individual or national progress can be expected.

Speedy Justice

Under Intellocracy, judicial cases are to be disposed off by the courts within a maximum of 3 months of its filing, else the judicial officer shall be penalised through a legal procedure set for the purpose. Other judicial provisions of Intellocracy are abrogation of contempt of court provisions, and provision of proceedings against an erring judicial officer. Under this provision, if a judgement of a court is reversed by the higher court in an appeal, performance and capability of the judicial officer of the reversed judgement shall be judicially scrutinised and he may declared misfit for being a judicial officer.

Welfare Schemes
Intellocracy advocates for achievements of a person through his capability and diligence only, for the display of which he shall be provided enough opportunities at par with those available for others, and not through any special considerations, such as reservations and welfare schemes. Indian experience of having welfare schemes for the poor and downtrodden classes of the society has proved counter-productive, being major source of corruption, inducing a feeling of beggary amongst beneficiaries. So Intellocracy is against any free doles to anybody but instead provide ample opportunities for working and earning.

Value of Life
Life is a precious thing to be retained and one must be prepared to pay its price or perish. Social morality is the price of life expected from every citizen, so that everybody cares for himself and all others in the society. Those who fail to respect other’s existence, must be eliminated from the society. For this reason, death sentence for social crimes is highly recommended under Intellocracy.Morally, no government can afford to risk survival of others to safeguard lives of a few.

Equality
All humans are born equal but their upbringing, education and efforts make the different from each other. For getting equal treatment, all must strive to prove themselves equal to each other. Intellocracy provides equal opportunities to all, and if some one fails to make use of the opportunities, he has no right to demand an equal treatment from others or the government. Better people make a better society and a better nation - Intellocracy’s objective.

Right to Association
Under democracies all around the world, associations have become tools of exploitation of others, particularly the helpless unorganised sections of society. Further, associations have become reasons of inter-association clashes. So, Intellocracy abridges the right of people to associate on specific issues, to eradicate exploitation from the society.

Religious Displays
Public display of one’s religious leanings is prohibitted under Intellocracy, making it a highly personalised matter of one’s life, and so limits it to one’s home only. All public places built in the name of religions need be demolished or converted to socialising places open to all sections of the society.

National Dress Code
To prevent obscenity in society, particularly by exposure of body organs, shall be regulated by a national dress code, Anybody, outside his home, has to follow it but have free choices to wear dresses of their choice. This dress code shall specify body parts that may be exposed, depending the age and sex basis while out of their homes.
