Man is a rational being by nature; he strives for comfort, well-being, prosperity, progress, security and happiness using his intellectual and physical talents for his proper benefits. Nature created man for a social set-up. His natural necessities remained greater than his individual capacities to fulfil his wants. No one individual is capable enough to supply his own demands without the help of others. He cannot fulfil his wants without the aid of society and those wants, which acts upon every individual drives the whole of them into society. Furthermore, man is naturally selfish, as to fulfil his wants and to pursue his happiness, he is dependent on the reciprocating aid of the society, and he naturally tends to feel affection towards the social set-up, which is necessary for his pursuit of happiness and secured life. Without the aid of society, one may survive, but he cannot be happy and he cannot prosper, that is why, there is no time in a man’s life when his love for the society ceases to act. A man remains a social being throughout his life; society begins and ends with our being.
The property owner, the farmer, the technician, the plumber, the manufacturer, the merchant, the dealer and every occupation prospers by the help that each receives from the other and as a whole; they constitute a society that is regulated by the common interests of every entity. As every individual of a society is well concerned about his personal interests and rational well-being, the society itself evolves the essential sets of natural laws that obviously depends on the mutual benefit of every part, every individual of the society. In most of the cases, a society itself creates a well-arranged mutually beneficial system to avoid any coercive interference from any individual or group of individuals over others, that is, the free society itself denies any necessity of government or any governing coercive body to interfere in the social free domain. If one examines the basic nature and constitution of man, which is the basic unit of the society, he can easily notice that most of the part of the coercive regulatory system that is known as Government is very redundant.

Failure of Government

Often government is considered as obligatory for the working of a society, yet, the more perfect and free a society is, the less it needs a government to govern it. A free society obviously governs itself and provides enough free domains for each individual the right to self govern. All the specific laws of any society or country are basically the very natural laws based on the rational mutual self-interests of the individuals involved. All the laws of trades and commerce with respect to intercourse of individuals or different groups of individuals are based on laws of mutual and reciprocal self-interest. Individuals or groups of free individuals are tend to follow such natural laws of peace and prosperity not because of fear of any formal government, but because of the inherent mutual benefits and profits they are seeking for.
It is quite obvious that if a society is left free, and each individual of that society is provided complete freedom to pursue his progress and happiness, there seldom will be a need of any governing authority. Yet how often is the case where various operations of government destroy the natural peace and mutually beneficial state of free society?
If one look back at the riots and tumults that happened in India at various times, he will find out that government did not want any of those riots, but the government itself was the generating cause. Instead of consolidating the society, government divided it; it deprived the society of its natural cohesion and engendered discontent and disorder. That is, the government itself became the cause of chaos. The riots of 1948 were not because of any misgivings between Hindus or Muslims, both of them were living peacefully in India since hundreds of years, those riots occurred because of governmental want of divide and rule. The bloody conflict of Kashmir is not because of some Islamic group of militants, it is because of the want of two governments to control a peace of land and rule over the people living there. The militants of Punjab demanding for Khalistan were not inspired for any better cause of Sikh community, rather they were looking for making another coercive government, the 1984 riots against Sikh’s again were not because of any sect of society, but they happened because of the impulsiveness of government. The emergency period and all the killings in that period again were because of the government. The opening of Babri Mosque gate was obviously a political step of the government that infuriated the society and became the cause of Hindu-Muslim riots, Babri mosque was demolished because of aspirations of government, and whole society suffered the consequential riots and killings. The burning of Godhra train was again a consequence of the division that the government and the aspirants of government created and that became the cause to further Gujarat violence.
Overall, there seldom occurs a riot or act of violence within the free individuals of a free society, but whenever a self-imposed government intends to interfere within the society; it becomes the cause of riots, tumults, destruction and violence.
The various acts of government, tax-impositions, caste reservations, reservations based on religion etc ultimately divides the society and creates an environment of dissatisfaction an frustration that ultimately leads to violence in various forms and to avoid that, government again tend to divide the society further and deprive it of the natural strength and mutually beneficial state a free and self-governed society may achieve. The recent case of Telangana struggle is also nothing but an example of governmental act going sour, and the very infamous Mumbai riots against the people of UP and Bihar are also nothing but the ill-effects of governmental ill-policies and the war-mongering character of the political aspirants.
What good a farmer ploughing his land will find in leaving his peaceful pursuit of prosperity and happiness and going for a war against a farmer of other religion, state or country ploughing his own land? Why will a manufacturer of a certain religion, caste, state or country wager a war against the manufacturer of another religion, caste, state or country? Does any such war, riot or struggle adds up any acre of land for that farmer, does it increases the productive capacity of the manufacturer, does such wars and tumults and bloodshed increases the venturing probabilities of any entrepreneur or enterprise? No, it adds nothing for any common man, it do no good for any common folk, rather, all such wars, riots, strikes and tumults deprives them of their peaceful pursuit of happiness, their basic right of freedom and security. Though this reasoning is good for a society or a nation and its people to avoid and hate wars, and try to maintain love an peace to pursue their progress, yet it is not so for the government. A society earns nothing from divisions, wars, strikes, tumults and riots, yet a government earns a lot. War is the game of government and the nation and public are the pawns.
In spite of all these depressing and destructive acts of government, the individuals keep striving for their progress, for their living. No matter how high inflation may go, the poor man seeks out a way to feed his children. It is obviously a wonderful attribute of the society that in spite of being ruined and ruled by the government keeps providing enough aid for the individual constituent to survive the harshness and inhumanity of the government.

Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil, in its worst state, an intolerable one. Thomas Paine
