Democracy.. Encompass the opportunities that exist in the society at large..

BEST  FOR EVERYONE..
Losing and winning are not in themselves important.. What is of actual importance is how people conduct themselves when facing these experiences.. In the age of kingship in previous centuries, kings held some favor and others in disfavour.. They wanted to crush those whom they thought were not their supporters.. Those who still have such an outdated mindset think along similar lines today..they believe  that the elected government is friendly or inimical towards them.. But this is an anachronistic way of thinking ..
In age of democracy, the mandate of the government that comes into power after election is always for limited period of time ..since in a democracy it is the voters who elect the leaders, no government can afford,once it  is elected to power, to follow the policy of favouring one community and disfavouring another.. This is because such a policy would go against its own political interests ..
During any pre-election campaign, a party can engage in such rhetoric as go against the sentiments of a community or group, but such statements or speeches are only temporary..the tone of the party changes after the elections..
People must know that this age of democracy, and in principle ,democracy is not for some and against others..it is for all.. Therefore, in this day and age,people  should not form opinions on the basis  of media reports..
Consider the saying-'there is no permanent enemy or permanent friend in politics..'this applies particularly to a democracy.. Democracy is government of the people by the people.. Thus,in a democracy,if any party were to make a permanent enemy of any given voter community, that would go against its own interests.. Therefore, it is in the interest of ruling party itself to adopt an universal policy..
In democracy, if any leader makes such statements that go against a certain group,  it should not encouraged,rise voice against these..
The most important thing in politics is that one should never take things at face value ..things should  always be taken in their deeper sense.. This means that one should not consider of the statements of particular leader, but should rather look to the world beyond the leader's statements and see whether it offers favourable opportunities ..if  favourable opportunities do exist, one should never feel any apprehension.. Favourable opportunities are produced  as a result of the  historical process..they don't  disappear by the coming of one party or another to power ..
Democracy is based on a system of periodical elections.. In means temporary replacement of political administration,while maintaining   permanent governance.. This kind of political system is inherently  good for all and bad for none..
In other words, which ever party comes to power ,it will affect only a part of life, while leaving the greater part of life untouched..
