practice. Mankind has travelled a long way in politics from monarchy to democracy and its savings is in owing the Anekānta and to know one's shortcoming, by being tolerant to the criticism of your opponents and learning thereby. And to remove those short comings, is the need of the hour. This is practicing Anekānta. There can be elements of truth in what your opponent says and the best place to find your short commings is, in the sayings of your opponent. Acknowledging it is in the best interest of democracy. Parliamentary democracy is practically Anekānt in politics. India is not only father of Anekānta in politics but is also a symphatiser in parliamentry democracy æ so that responsibility of using Anekānta practically rests fully on indian political leaders. Conclusion
The theoritical side of Anekānta coupled with the derivatives from scientific experimentation, makes us accept the principle of co-existence, as also does it accept this (Anekānta) as the vary basis of life. This realization can establish the principles of co-operation, co-existance, tolerance, communal non-differentiation etc. etc. To win over the thinking of die hards the utility of Anekānta is self apparent, so that it can end the attitude of all knowingness and develop the attitude of learning from any source, with equal openmindedness.
