A coordinated approach for widening the sociological base of governance across the world essentially demands post-democratism that incorporates sensitivity to duties. While democratic governance focuses primarily on rights with an inbuilt component of ‘taking’, post-democratism centres around a penchant for ‘giving’. It seeks an alternative approach to development, that is, a system which shall be based not merely on rigid rules but also on maximization of values. In a post-democratic society, rights and duties must coalesce which could serve as the bedrock of administrative ethics. Global socio-economic and political changes are very rapid which signify not only a transition from totalitarianism to libertarianism but also from democracy to post-democracy, where every individual is actively involved and where accountability and responsibility come to the centre stage of development. When you think of a post-democratic governance, you actually create a politico-administrative and judicial-legal construct of social and economic justice. This is possible only when a duty-bound approach is adopted and the state makes decisions considering the entire sociological perspective both in theory and practice. Post-democratism believes in proactive means of justice delivery. Here lies the importance of constructive interpretation of constitutional provisions and laws and statutes in a society where the state and the citizenary both are concerned about performing their duties instead of claiming for rights only or predominantly. This concept assumes greater significance in religiously, linguistically and ethnically diverse societies like India and makes the social systems complex. Therefore, it requires all such steps to ensure a delicate balance between the authority of the state and liberty of the citizens. The balancing of their rights need to be limited to prevent any kind of over exercise and the limitations so imposed may be the ground of defining their duties and responsibilities.
