Leading by Example

Our Politicians are anything but role models for the gen-x. They talk of development and management of resources on one side and overspend on the other. They think of themselves first and the nation next. The highly qualified and the illiterates score the same on this.

What necessitated the Finance Minister to advice two of his colleagues in the ministry was most unwarranted. The high and mighty should not be allowed to have their own way when they are chosen to represent the ordinary citizens of the country, even at their own expense. That too, being the members of the National Congress Party that highlighted the Gandhian philosophy. It is a poor example of Political leadership where hundreds of thousands are fighting for their survival.

Rat Race

The whole world is seemingly in a rat race. Nations trying to dominate other nations, communities trying to influence other communities, individuals trying to outdo other individuals. As the world becomes smaller by the day nations and tongues, religions and cultures, all want to subdue it or rule over it. Scientific and technological super powers, economic and industrial super powers, religious and political super powers are all in the making. The ultimate goal is that some day they want to rule over the ‘rest of the world’.

Having nuclear capabilities and a space program are the signs of a super power. Many developing countries are at the threshold of acquiring this status while the big brothers are trying to prevent them. Nuclear energy for some is like the dry cell in a toy. But this dry cell in the hands of evil minded bigots can annihilate humanity itself. Developing countries pumping their precious resources into the outer space trying to have a share of the moon and mars while denying several million citizens their share of basic amenities can not be justified. Billions of Rupees are wasted in these experiments which does not yield proportionate results. Let us spend our resources and energy to give food, education and healthcare to our fellow citizens so that they can understand the need for a Chandrayaan.

‘Satyameva Jayate’

Indian tradition upholds the divine principle of “Satyameva Jayate” (Truth shall triumph). However, those who project Indianness and cultural purity as ideology do not believe in this. The schism in the BJP is a pointer to the untruthful proclamations and overtures while operating with a hidden agenda. All the anti-people activities justified in the name of ideology, nationalism and Indianness has done it in. When people cheat in the name of God they should realize that God is someone they can not cheat.

The tussle for power is the underlying factor and not nationalism or love for the nation. If otherwise, they would not have made the religious divide uglier than before. No political party can be exonerated in this case.  When it comes to luring the large vote banks they sacrifice their ideology and principles. Might becomes right, end justifies the means and power justifies the compromise made.

Jinnah has become a darling, of late, to Advani and Jaswant. One declared it across the border while the other put it in black and white. Again, put a  question mark in the margin. Every time they tried to suppress the minority and excite the majority it back fired. Now they realized the best way is to carry them along until the ballots and drop them later diplomatically. It is surprising to see the double standards within and without. The former Parivar chief has done a clever somersault. Shourie too has earned the wrath of the boss.
The real color of saffron had to show up some time or the other. The truth shall ultimately triumph, however long it may take.

Income Tax Reforms

The news about tax reforms seems to be positive and encouraging. The Lowering of tax rates and cancellation of exemptions could strike the balance. However, more people would be enlisted as tax payers.

We have people who earn sizable income through unorganized business or employments but do not bother to pay their tax. It is basically an attitude problem. The government will have to invent ways to drag all such people into the tax net. Otherwise the tax payers will be burdened through new taxes every now and then. Every business, big or small, run from an office or home, must be enlisted by government regulation or action taken against them. A database of working people/business/employment should be created to monitor the tax payments and to fix the evaders.

Politicians should show and example by filing their IT returns and remitting tax. Unless they do that they have no moral right to tax the citizens who vote them to power. They should remember they are not above the law.

Swine Flu

“Swine Flu” has become the most uttered words in most communities – the most feared and most talked about issue in the country. Many are still confused about the way to handle this epidemic. This can be more serious than HIV-AIDS as it spreads faster. The Central and State Governments have not seriously launched any awareness program yet to educate the common man. Media has been able to create enough panic.

As often happens, every crisis situation is a money making opportunity for some who are unscrupulous and unethical. Those political organizations who claim to be social and developmental agencies should use this opportunity to prove themselves. Extreme care should be taken to maintain hygiene, particularly at public places.

NGOs should come forward to assist the Government in this situation. They should organize awareness campaigns, screening facilities and supply of medicines for the common public.  Everyone should participate and do his/her best. Together we can contain the spread of this flu and save our people.

Gay or not give us your vote!

The sudden eruption of the LGBT sympathy wave has very thought about political overtones. Politicians don’t care a hoot about nation or community or culture, as every sane citizen would know. What they need is your vote to catapult them to power. Once they occupy the chair they will do everything to stay up there for as long as they could. The gay rights tamasha is nothing but political gimmick. There is a good number of votes that fall withing this category and they want to make sure they get it.

Think about the future of the nation as more and more young people get perverted by the false propaganda that being a LGBT is normal. You would see more and more couples unable to produce their own children and borrowing sperm or egg or infants. Who will fulfill the duty of the father and who would that of the mother? What would be the future of the nation?

I tell you this is a lie, and people are playing a game. The LGBT is only a weird game and nothing good can come out of it except STD and the nagging guilt of an unfulfilled and degraded life. Get out of the rut, young people, don’t waste your life. This country needs healthy, normal, intelligent, morally strong young people to take the nation forward. Don’t succumb to the foolish propaganda of the perverted. Don’t follow weired practices. It will only ruin you and your nation.

Going against Mother Nature

The world is moving so fast that the speed often causes us to lose our mental stability. Our moral scales topple and get reversed. Weirdest things become fashionable. Being normal would look primitive or even stupid.

Now the in thing is Homosexual relationships. Most people in the country do not even know terms like “gay”, “lesbian”, “transsexual”, or “bisexual”. But it is hitting headlines already and creating a new knowledge wave. Research and experimentation would naturally follow. Post media boom, the media has held sway in opinion formation propaganda. Most unwarranted sensations were created by the media just because it sells, or increases web traffic. Blame it on the western media for the over sized coverage given to the campaigns in the US, now it has come up on us too. After all, it is the influence of the western culture (and not the aping of it) that spoils our culture.

In the US it is not legalized at the national level. Each state debates about it and formulates laws that hold good for that particular state. But we are about to overtake even the west in this regard. We have become a developed nation indeed!

Legalizing immoral relationships is going against mother nature herself. Even animals don’t do such abominable things. But we are far too intelligent and fashionable to follow the natural laws. We have freedom, we have human rights.

We go against the established norms of nature and eventually pollute and distort the entire universe. We invite new new sicknesses and incurable illnesses. Our lust for immoral pleasure has caused much damage to the planet and we will pay for every evil deed of ours. In fact, we infect our future generation too with this deadly disease. “Going green” sounds good as a slogan but “doing green” only can preserve our nature. This involves every aspect of human relationships. So, you legalize what is immoral and pay for it yourselves, or let our children pay for it.

To the authorities who are proponents of this unnatural, filthiest, perversion, let me ask if they would legalize drug abuse because it is arguably one’s human right? Will you legalize suicide and euthanasia? Why not human trafficking for legalized brothels if the women are willing? Why not let paedophiles enjoy their preference consensually? Why do you make an issue about child abuse when children are willingly working in non-hazardous jobs? Why make an issue when one changes his/her religious affiliation based absolutely on his/her personal human right? Why permit this inhuman sex abuse in the name of human rights? Is it just to break the colonial tag on the century old ruling? Shame on you!

Respected Judges please study the human anatomy and find out the normal functions of the human body before you make nationally binding and misleading judgments. You will be  responsible for the hundreds and thousands of distorted and abused young lives. Everything the crazy west does is not the norm. You will destroy the nation and its values. There are other glaring human rights violations towards children, women, poor, under privileged, tribals and backward classes. Try to bring in some kind of relief to these people before putting your hands on this dirty, detestable and degrading behavior.

Wake up India, wake up! Your children’s future is in peril!

Legal or Moral?

Law has loop holes and the unscrupulous ones will always use it to make right their wrongs. What is legal does not necessarily have to be right and acceptable – culturally, religiously, ethically, spiritually.

http://tinyurl.com/kjb7rq

Just being consensual does not make something legal. Two people agreeing to take each other’s life and involving in fight is thus legal. Euthanasia done with the consent of terminally ill is legal. Wife swapping (or husband swapping) with mutual consent is legal. Polygamy should be legal with mutual consent.

In the case of article 377 it is being taken out of the social context in which the legality exists. Something that is socially unacceptable can not be legal just by reading meanings into it or by stretching the letter of the law. This would become an offense to the rest of the community.

In a country where one’s choice to follow a different faith is a punishable crime, how can doing and promoting detestable acts become legal and acceptable? Where are the cultural police who pulled out their swords against ‘Valentines day’ and so on, accusing it as detrimental to our culture? Or, does our culture encourage homosexual relations and abnormal passions?

One may do any nonsense in the privacy of his/her room, but making public news of it and trying to push it outside the room is unacceptable. It may argued as his/her freedom but it can also be argued as offending others’ freedom (not to see and hear non sense).  Those who advocate such pervarsions might as well be practitioners of it. If they have a family, I pity them. May be, that is consensual too!

Unique Identification Number

It is highly commendable that the UPA government is seriously taking up this project initiated by the NDA government. It is the security and growth of the nation that is more important than political egos. Some politicians are famous for undoing whatever a former government has done.

The database should include all the required information about the individual, verified by a local official. Existing instruments like the Ration Cards contain false information which should be meticulously avoided. The UID should be useful at the government fair price shops, banks, hospitals, insurance agencies, educational institutions, polling stations and all other government offices like Sub Registrars’ Office, Income Tax department, Regional Transport Office, Passport Office, Police Stations, etc.

The appointment of Mr. Nilekani is to be seen as a positive move to be welcomed by the citizens. http://tinyurl.com/lhczjf

Politics is not enough

Politics, that too our goondagiri style, is not sufficient to run a government for the benefit of the people. One or two may manage by fluke but the politician’s mentality will soon supercede that.  We need qualified, efficient and honest hands to handle national responsibilities. The PM’s move to install technocrats in various positions in the government is to be supported, though it irks the  dadas in politics. http://tinyurl.com/mdc5f3

Being a local dada and maintaining an army of jobless goons is not the qualification for a minister. They only know how to extort money from the citizens and lavish it on themselves. Neither will the backing of a major political party give that qualification to anyone nor will the ability to pull strings in a coalition. We should change our constitution to include the minimum qualification of someone who wants to contest the elections for public office and that for someone who will occupy the minister’s post.

The ministries that suffer huge losses (like the Air India now) should fire the minister in charge and take him/her to task. They should pay for the losses, for betraying the voters and the nation. http://tinyurl.com/nlpo2j

Thankfully, we have got a couple of qualified hands in the Union Cabinet. The nation should support the Prime Minister in the process of making India a part of the first world, an advanced, prosperous nation.
