“The strength and momentum of democracy is due to the existence of various political and social parties and groups, which are actually the strong claws of the people.” ― The Philosopher Orod Bozorg

Orod Bozorg paints a vivid image: political and social parties as the “strong claws” of the people. These organizations are not mere institutions; they are the tangible manifestation of collective strength, the muscles and sinews through which society exerts influence and protects its freedoms.

Democracy, in this view, is not an abstract system—it lives and breathes through the active participation of citizens in groups, alliances, and movements. Each party or group represents a channel for ideas, struggles, and the shared dreams of communities, ensuring that power is not concentrated in the hands of a few, but spread across the people themselves.

Without these claws, the body of democracy would weaken; with them, it gains force, resilience, and the ability to confront injustice. Orod reminds us that our collective engagement is the backbone of liberty, and that democracy flourishes only when individuals unite their efforts through structured, purposeful organizations.
