A kilamdanna = Populism ah mi a tawmzaw, a thanem zaw mite kinawl khin, kizo thawh a; Democracy ah a tawmzaw, a thanem zaw mite humbit (protect), kipanpih hi.

Gentehna in, India gam ah Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) party pen kitelna (election) pan in telcing a ngah party hi a, a langpang (oppose) party thanem a hih manin gambup vai pen a mau a tamzawte bek i metna (a diak in Hindu biakna bia mite bek) dingin a sepna uh na muh teh, man na sa mah hiam?
Tua bang a thupiang pen gamkhat sung bek a piang thu hilo hi.

A omsa thute, paizia leh ngeina cih peuhmawh awlmawh nawnlo in, “a tamzaw mi honpi in deih hi” cih paulap in Democracy pen a lang (50%) zangin kiphelh khia uhhi.

Mi tampi tak in democracy ukna paizia kici pen “a tamzaw thu neihna” ci in kigen khial ziau thei hi. A khial hilo na pi, man khin lo hi. A kicingin kigen kimlo cihna a hihi. A kicingin a gen hi leng, Democracy pen “a tamzaw deihna tawh ukna paizia kibawl a, a tawmzaw mite deihna kihum (protect)” vaihawmna paizia a hihi. A kitel zaw in genciat theihna dingin thunung thuma (concept) nam (4) tawh gen kul hi. Tua thunung thuma nam (4)te pen (i) Mipi palai zatna thu guipi (republican principles) (ii) Mipi huamkimna (democracy) (iii) Thukhunpi zuihna (constitutionalism) leh (iv) Suahtakna thu guipi (liberalism) a hihi.
Mipi Palai zatna thu guipi (Republican principles) paizia kici in “gam mipite pen thu neihna sang pen a nei mite hi a, a maute thu kimpihna (legitimacy) bek tawh gam uk kumpi ding kiphut khia thei ding” cih a hihi. Tua thu guipi (principles) pen gam tampite i thu khunpi (constitution) sungah “gam bup thu neihna pen mipite neihsa a hihi” cih a hizongin, “gam uk kumpite in mipite phalna (consent) bek tawh ukna thuneihna a nei a hihi” cih a hi zongin kigelh hi. Ukna thu neihna a zang ding mite pen mipite phalna or deihna tawh kitel khia Palai/Taangmi a hih teitei ding cihna a hihi.
Mipi huam kimna (Democracy) paizia bulpi kici pen, “gam mipi khempeuh in tan kikimna leh mipi khempeuh huam kimna” bulphuh a hihi. Gan hing khempeuh tan kikim a, a hi zongin khe li nei ganhing teng bek an kipia ding hi cih a hi zongin; mihing khempeuh tanh kikim a, cikang/vunkang nei miteng bek inn kipia ding hi cih bang om theilo hi. Tan kikimna leh huamkimna (inclusiveness) pen Democracy paizia a dingin a khuampi khat a hihi. Vaihawmna leh thu khensatna khatpeuh a kineih ciangin a masa in mipi a tamzaw deihna zui a kikhensat ding hi mah ta leh, a nihna ah mi buppi (a tawmzaw te zong) huamkim na ding en a gel leh malakna neih ding a hihi. Ukna, vaihawmna, gelna, malakna dingte a paizia zuihna leh thu khenzum a paizia zuihna pen kibanglo hi. Gentehna in mi a tamzaw i deihna tawh khialhna nei (guilty) mi 10 khah khia in, khialna neilo mi khat gawtna piak ding cih thute pen thu khenzum paizia hi a, ukna leh vaihawmna paizia kibawl khit ciang a, tua zui a sepzia ding thu hi pan hi.
Thu khunpi zuihna (Constitutionalism) paizia kici pen, “gam sung gam pua, pawl sung pawl pua kilam khiat zia, pianziate gelh khiatna hi a, sun kal zan kal a lumlet theihloh ding a, a kip ding a kigel a hih manin puahphatna leh behlapna ciang cihloh pumkhekna (replace) ding hamsa hi. A vailam a (horizontal) khenna zong kici “thu neihna khenkhiatna (separation of power) leh thu neihna bukkimna (check and balance of power)” cihte pen gii nei a kibawl kilam zia leh pianzia a hihi.

Tua bangin kikhenna pen gambup leh kipawlna bulkip zawkna ding leh muilim (effective) zawkna dingin a zungpi ahihi.
Suahtakna thu guipi (liberalism) paizia kici pen “mi khatpeuh in gam leh minam nasepna, biakna nasepna leh a dang nasepna khatpeuh a ma mimal utna lieliau in kihel thei ding hi. Tua kihelna pen thusiah (terms) kibang tungah kingah ding” cih thu guipi pomna a hihi. Hih thu guipi deihna in, “mimal khat i suahtakna pen daitak in nuamsa hithiat thei ding (peaceful enjoyment of individual independence)” hi ci’n zong kigen thei hi. Mihing a min piang khempeuh in a kisut theilo hamphatna (inalienable rights) neitek a hihna kipsak na in gam uk kumpite in mimal khat i suahtakna suksiat sak lo ding, khak tansak lo ding cih ahihi. Hih mun ah, mimal kim in zong mimal i suahtakna sungah nopsakna dingin mimal dang khat i suahtakna suk siat saklo, khak tan saklo ding kisam hi.
Populism kici bang hiam?
Ukna thuneihna a nei mite hepkhiatna ding a hi zongin, a ahih kei leh, ukna thuneihna a nei laitak mite in a mau ukna a letkip suak zawhna dingin a hizongin a tha khauh makai (a strong leader) leh a muilim makai (an effective leader) pawlkhat in mi honpi luankhopna (mass movement) pansan in Populism paizia zang uhhi. Hih thu paizia in “democracy thak suak sak ding, makai ding mi thak sem sak ding, thu meilet (policies) thakte tawh kalsuan ding” cih kamciam pia in awng uhhi. A makaite in mipi, nautang a ding a gen a sa bangin pau uh a, “a mau lam leh ei lamte” cih panmun ah gii khen in thu gen uhhi. Tua bek hilo in, makai pawlkhat in muahmawh thu (conspiracy theory) zangin mipi sosang sak uh a, mipil misiamte muan lahna (distrust of experts), nampi lungsim ultung sakna leh minam dangte- a pualam mite (outsiders) muh siatna dingin thu phuang uhhi. Hih a nuai a thute en in sittel leng Populism kicing zaw in ki lungngai thei ding hi.
Populism kalsuan zia in mipi nautang tampi huam kha zaw phial mah leh ukna vaihawmna neusek hi. (Populism may increase representativeness but undermine governance)
Mipi nautang mainawtna (Populist mobilization) ah makaih zia pen mimal tungah kilim ngak lua (personalistic leader) a hih manin party bup bulphuhzia (institutionalization) pan lampial khia thei hi. Mimal bulphuh luatna hangin, tua mi in thuneihna a hong ngah tak ciang, mailam kalsuan zia ding thukhun gelna ah lunglut nawnlo uh a, party dangte in thukhun gelna, thusunna cihte thu sim nawnlo in nawl khin sak uhhi. Ngeina paizia, sepzia bawlzia leh thuciin thusiah cihte awlmawh nawnlo in, mi hontam zawkna (popular voice) pen a man pen in sang uhhi. Mi hon tamzaw in hoih sakna a hih nak leh pom ding zuih ding cih bangin koih uh a, a tawmzaw mite’ muhna le sanna awlmawh nawnlo uh a hih manin kilang neihna piang sak hi. “Ei, mipite (we, the people)” cih kammal in a mau lam a pang miteng bek huam sak uh a, a mau tawh a kithuah lo mite pen huamsak zolo uhhi.
Ukna paizia (Bureaucracy) leh nasepna ah zuih ding thumeilette (policies) peuhmah awlmawh nawnlo in sem in bawl uhhi. Thukhun, ngeina paizia leh thu meilette zuih omlo in nasem a hih manin mipi kisapna leh mipi ukna ah muilim (effective) zo nawnlo hi. Gam sung vaihawmna, pawlsung vaihawmna ah ukna hoih (good governance) pia zo nawnlo hi. Sep leh bawl, ma lakna khempeuh a vaipuak sanna (accountability) ding semlo uhhi.
Populism in semkhiatna bek ultung sak in, sepzia le bawlzia nawl khin hi. (Populism empowers executives over legislatures).
Democracy ukna paizia ah mi khatpeuh in thuneihna a zat khialh (abuse) lohna dingin thukhun leh paizia kician bawl khiatna, pansanna pen a lo theilo a hihi. Thu bulphuh thu guipite a mualsuah zawhna dingin thukhun leh paizia dante bulkip takin bawl ding kisam hi. Mi honpi tawh lomluanna (populist movement) makai pawlkhat in pianzia ngeina thu bulphuh, thu guipite phiat in thukhun leh paizia thak tawh lumlet gawp ding sawm thei uhhi. Tua bangin na a sep tak uh ciangin, ukna thu neihna a khengval a zatna, a mau pawl a hilo mite pampaihna, suahtakna thu paipite nuaisiahna lampi a tawntawn uh hi a, kitelna na ngawn ah tamkim leh thuman (free and fair) omlo a kitelna ding gel khia uhhi. Mitam thu paulap in thu khun tungah tuang thei uhhi. Thuciin thusiah (merits) cih bang om sak nawnlo uh a, a lui khempeuh a hoihlo bangin mu sak uhhi.
Democracy leh populism in mipi tawh vaihawmna tuaktuak hi a, ki-valak mahmah na ciang khat nei na pi’n kibang kim taktak khinlo hi. Democracy in mipi deih palai tawh vaihawmna, ki-ukna leh paizia a hihna zui in thuneihna (power) zong a kibuk tuah (check and balance) dingin kilamzia kiptak nei hi. Tua ban-ah a tawmzaw mipite zong a kihuam khak, a kihum (protect) na dingin thukhun leh paizia kiptawh na sepna a hihi. Populism in mi honpi tawh mainawtna a hih mah bangin mi a tamzaw in a thukim leh hoih a sak nak leh kuamah awlmawh nawnlo; thukhun leh paizia ngeina, sepzia cihte peuhmah awlmawh nawnlo hi. Mi hon a tamzaw metna ding bek en in mainawt in sem hi. Mimal a tawmzaw, a thanem zaw mite aw ngaihna, zakna dingin bil dawh nawnlo hi. Thu neihna ngah hun sungin a omsa thuteng, paizia leh thukhun teng lumlet mang uh hi.

Tua bangin mi khat bek lutang dinmun ah dinna tawh nasepna ah lawhcin zawkna zong om tham mah hi. Committee or Board tawh thu kikup a paizia tawh gel in nasep sangin makai khat bek lutang mun ah ding vilvel a sep ziauziau pen muilimna (effectiveness) bangin kimu hi. Tua bangin a kisepna mun khempeuh a makaihzia pen mimal bulphuh makaihna (personalistic leadership) hi a, makaite in mi a tamzawte’ i mitmei bek veng uh a hih manin mi a tawmzawte aw (voice) kiza zolo a, a maute deihna leh metna dingin thu kigel ngeilo hi. Thukhun leh paizia cih omlo a hih manin a thazawm mite a dingin kidalna ding lampi om theilo hi. Populism pen mihon a tamzawte a dingin hoih a, mi a tawmzaw leh a thazawm mite a dingin hoihlo hi. Democracy pen mi a tamzawte a dingin hoih a, a tawmzaw leh a thazawm mite a dingin zong hoih lai hi.
