OUR NATIONAL FLAG
OUR NATIONAL
ANTHEM
Mahatma Gandhi or
Subas Bose should be the possible personalities. But there was not a trace of
evidence to this effect. On the other hand there is sufficient evidence that it
was in honor of an English king visiting
Let
there be a serious national debate, not in florid speeches but in black and
white involving renowned academics, social analysts and any other interested
persons. Attempts should be made to compose a new national anthem celebrating
our nationhood, its people and its glory; or select any existing song befitting
our national pride.
We are not short of such melodious patriotic-lyrics for
national acceptance.

OUR NATIONAL LANGUAGE
Hindi has been accepted at some point
of our history as our national
language. But its validity as such raises serious question-marks now.
Analyzing the present situation in India we find that a Bihari (resident of Bihar ) on crossing the border of his state finds himself
to be in an alien land because of the huge language barrier. There he can’t
read the name of the road, the bus he wants to travel in and the name of shops
or institutions.
If he asks anyone’s help to locate
his destination he is mocked at and replied in the local language. Similar is
the situation with almost all provinces. Education from primary to
post-graduate level is now in regional language which makes the people feel
like separate entities in the same country called India India India
Are we not drifting to pre-British India
that was made-up of small territories ruled by kings, chieftains or warlords?
One of the causes of this fragmentation and divergence was the difference in
languages prevailing with local importance then. And that was one of the
important factors which proved us divided, timid and cowardly against foreign
invaders. British conquest of India and introduction of English brought unity
among us and we thought of independence for a union of India .
Hindi, accepted as our national language
during freedom struggle, became highly contestable after independence and so
could not be accepted by the masses. The cause of this was the high handedness
of Hindi speaking people. To compensate for this, Hindi speaking people should
volunteer to pass, at least, middle standard in a south Indian language – a
compulsion for any government job.
If not
so, Sanskrit should be introduced as our national language.

THE DIVERGENCE WE FACED
India in
the pre-historic era was a country with a superb heritage. It was ruled by
kings or chieftains who were ethically bound to see the wellbeing of their
subjects and save
Then
came British occupation with induction of a single language - English. One
language got the Indians understand each other and got them united.
As soon
as independence was imminent, the subversive process of disunity started
creeping. But we failed to find why and how?
Md. Ali
Jinnah, who was neither a devoted Islam nor a stalwart freedom fighter, could
utilize the idea of Muslim nation-hood to get his cherished desire of heading India ; of course, he achieved a part of it by
creating Pakistan
Jawaharlal
Nehru is also blamed by some authorities. His aspiration to head Indian
administration made him forget that if some sincere Muslim leader like Khan
Abdul Gaffar Khan or Maulana Abul Kalam Azad had been chosen to head the
country, Muslims’ apprehension and creation of Pakistan could have been
averted.
What a catastrophe it created!
Bengal Muslims slammed their door against Pakistani-west. This was the earliest
sign of our going back to pre-British era. Also it increased the bitter feeling
between Hindus and Muslims that led to riots, terrorism, repeated wars and
other subversive activities between brother citizens - Muslims and Hindus, of
united India - who spent centuries together.
Hinduism,
otherwise known as Sanatan Dharma, is the religion since the days of yore and
was an example of peace, sacrifice, and non-violence. When Jainism,
Buddhism and Sikhism came, it accommodated them. Then came the invading Islam
and fugitive Persians. Muslims adopted
ascendancy and practiced tyranny to convert many Hindus to Islam while the
Persians adjusted with natives for a peaceful living and were welcomed.
Subsequently came Christianity which was allowed to propagate its religion. But
contrary to religious principle they too are doing it by alluring
poverty–stricken Hindus. Could they do so in Muslim countries? Hinduism
accommodated them and is suffering the brunt of conversion.
Coming to the Indian context of divisive
forces, they are the petty leaders who seek easy popularity and selfish
advantages. The public is innocent. Such leaders stir up matters of selfish
interest like religion, language, regionalism, economic inequality and make it
an issue with rabble rousing speeches. Rows, rowdyism, and riot ensue – these
leaders prosper at the cost of national unity.
Chief
Minister of M.P. Shivraj Chauhan’s declaration (2009) that they don’t welcome
laborers from Bihar or Uttar Pradesh, and the
refusal of some southern states to accept Hindi or English as a communicating
language indicated and intensified separatist attitude.

OUR
ADMINISTRATION
After independence we wanted to
change the British pattern of administration.
British constitution is unwritten, we
wrote one. English administration in India
We
adopted the British civil and criminal codes almost without any change. We
failed to envisage what we lack for the smooth governance of our country with
so much of diversity.
The
British had vast administrative experience in different parts of the world.
They conquered countries inhabited by ferocious aborigines, religious fanatics
and cannibal tribes facing all the risks of fighting. They achieved their goal
of conquering a country. We may call it selfishness but they helped their
subjects achieve prosperity. And in this way they could perpetuate their reign
over so many countries for so many years. Spaniards did the opposite and got
lost as a nation of heroic achievements.
After the
first decade of independence most of the true sacrificing freedom fighters
faced negligence from their counter-part in administration and so they
gradually started withdrawing. Their place was taken by yes-men and others who
are self-serving, power hungry, crime mongers and black sheeps.
Truth is stranger than fiction but
looking at our tarnished national character, one can easily perceive how
corrupt even our Prime Ministers are. Many authorities believe that Jawaharlal
Nehru who had made the supreme sacrifice in our freedom struggle, utilized the
advantage of his position to perpetuate a family rule. Indira Gandhi later stepped into his shoes.
The other few instances that came to
light are Narsimha Rao who could hand over crores of rupees to a fake foreign company
to gain benefits for his son and Rajiv Gandhi receiving kick-backs from Bofors
through a foreign swindler. This case against Rajiv Gandhi was dropped on
sympathetic ground after his demise. But this swindler was helped by our people
in the government to escape from our country and our Intelligence dragnet
stealthily. Also subsequently he could not be extradited by our government when
he was caught in a foreign country. The booties, he carried away, might have
been the black-money of himself, his relations and other leaders. Escape of
sensitive Indian documents in this way is possible. Strange that all legal
proceedings against him were dropped recently (2009). Any authority writing a
book on this episode would produce a bestselling thriller. Is it not a blot for us, Indians – its citizens, leaders
in opposition or in government? A foreign individual
came empty handed, looted
us and walked out majestically. Will no ‘Mamuds’ (an invader who invaded and
looted India fourteen times without any resistance) come again & again to
rob us?
crores of rupees- the cost of a mini Rourkela steel plant – were siphoned off to another country – quite a good amount for the economic and industrial development of that country. A lot of such examples of squandering public money by top leaders speak volumes on the character of our political leaders. They manipulate the government machinery and escape scot-free and if caught, dare to mock at our legal system. Take the example of Lalu Yadav. His jail was specially prepared by converting an inspection bungalow to a five star hotel – declared a special jail managed by his wife. The story does not end there. He was dismissed from his post of chief minister but his wife, who was of doubtful literacy and without any experience in administration, was made to occupy that seat. Further he managed to occupy the post of a Cabinet Minister at the center subsequently.
Let us come to some misdeeds among our next group of leaders.
A minister enticed an innocent girl (Kabayatri, Madhumita), raped her
repeatedly to pregnancy and murdered her to wipe out the crime. Similarly a
youth Congress leader killed his wife and cut her to pieces and burned those in
a ‘tanduri’ oven. These types of criminal activities are not only frequent
among leaders but have also now infected their children and party members.
Killing of a teen aged English girl in Goa and shooting an innocent bar girl
Jessica Lal at Delhi
Bandits with multiple murders but acquitted
and allowed to contest elections for Member of Parliament & notorious
criminals being exonerated to enter politics are common finds in India. One
example is Phoolan Devi, the bandit queen. Leaders looting public money, amassing
disproportionate wealth, and spending millions of rupees in elections is
common, but it does not cause any public uproar in our country.
On a bill presented in the Parliament to
raise the perks of MPs, almost all members voted in favor. There was no clamor
on the bill which proved the selfishness of leaders elected with public
mandate. Strangely there was no public acclamation in favor of the few who
raised their voice against it.
Most of our leaders are experts in
impressing our innocent public with inspiring speeches, pocket money or
physical threat to be voted to power.
Of course, thanks to the British made
codes; there are enough sharp tentacles to bring the crimes of some of these
rapacious leaders to book. But in most of these cases they are exonerated.
British people never envisaged such problems with the high ups in their
administration and so they meant it for their rank and file. And hence the
codes were unjustifiably slack for these top ranking officers - our leaders are
their equivalent. We followed it in letter and spirit without adding an
effective word in the changed circumstances of our own country. So these
high-ups, the leaders who are the culprits, became rabid enough to squander
public money. If at all they are caught they could follow Lalu’s technique or Mayabati’s
tactics.
Now coming to our government servants,
many of them are criminals but a little less than our leaders. Instead of
considering themselves to be public servants, most of them think they are
masters of the public with ultra job security. Rackets and scams like Telgi’s
stamp scam, Harsad Mehetta’s share deal, manufacture of spurious drugs,
adulteration of milk, baby food etc are continuing unabated. The culprit, if he
is a common man, is caught, but a leader or a government servant goes
scot-free. An IAS officer committing a rape or murder can’t be arrested on the
spot, Government permission is required. This procedure was a British design to
protect their white officers. It is a contradiction in democracy and provides
scope for the culprits to manipulate any proceedings – administrative or legal
against them.
Thanks to the few honest leaders,
government servants and statesmen because of whom our country is still
surviving.
None of the English government
servants, in two hundred years of British administration, showed such heinous
criminal activities. Lord Clive who established British administration in India
Look at our leaders. Most of them are
bandits robbing our nation in broad daylight and tarnishing our national image
that was once illustrious and exemplary on the globe.

Ch-IV
Germany and Japan were trampled to dust
and were in pitiable state; they were out of their elbow and heels. They lost
their work force as their young generation were killed or crippled in war.
There were no lands to plough as soil was
poisoned and lost its fertility by turns of gun powder. Also it could not be
handled due to plenty of shrapnels from bursting bombs. The enemies, in
vengeance, destroyed whatever things found useful and life sustaining, like
cattle, poultry, and farm implements. Their business premises, factories or work-shops
were knocked down. Also their research laboratories including the scientists
and technical staff were taken out of their country and utilized for the
research and other achievements for their (conquers) own countries.
At that time we, Indians, received our
independence. We had sustained no loss in the war and we were a flourishing
nation. We were delighted that we will take care of ourselves and would
progress rapidly. Our leaders turned their attention to our people and thought
that their improvement would lead to the over-all improvement of our country
The government of independent India manned
by our leaders, honest to their backbone, paid their first attention to people especially
who are poor and less developed. Major part of our revenue was spent lavishly
for importing food, constructing houses, roads and other such needful for betterment
of people. They also introduced ‘reservation’- a process that sacrifices the able
and efficient persons. It was for ten years only. But it was gradually
increased in number and duration. Efficient, skillful, competent and capable
people who are the need for an effective progress of a country are sacrificed. People,
who were less skilful and inefficient work force and hence poor, drew more
attention of our leaders and so got lavish help. These people, instead of tolerating
their own difficulty and working for self and their country like Germany or
Japan, were taught dependency on government subsidy. Our leaders, without any
long and hard experience of administrating a country, gave first priority to look
after such people to redress their difficulties which went on depleting our
resources strangulating the process of our overall development. Our leaders
could not visualize how a country’s overall development would provide better
well-being to all its citizens who would progress toward prosperity in rapid
strides.
Discussing reservation, meant for unprivileged people; it is found that some
such people availed its advantages in earlier periods and could continue to avail
it for generations. They are now rich, elite and living in cities and towns, away
from their under-developed colleagues and blocking their chance to avail such
provisions. They are now also a powerful group, rich and important in society.
They are capable of utilizing the term ‘dalit’ (less privileged) to excite the
truly deprived people to fight for ‘dallits’, in reality the flourished one.
One example is our Mayabati, the ex-chief minister of UttarPradesh. She availed
the advantage of becoming a mentor of Kansi Ram the head of BahuJana Samaja Party
(BSP) based on dallits. Her assets before entry to politics were a few thousands
of rupees but within a short period of leadership she amassed 110 crores
(eleven hundred millions) of rupees. We, our stalwart sleuths, could never hound
her. Rather she could utilize our legal system and judiciary to her favor. It
seems she doesn’t realize the importance of her country over her party. She
spent the government revenue for erecting statues of herself and leaders of her
choice instead of creating industrial, educational or other needful institutions
that would promote activities towards the prosperity of our country.
The grass root level dallits are still poor,
half fed and uneducated. So they are seeking respite by joining Maoism and/or by
accepting other religions for a better living .How such people would be
conscious of their country and their duty towards it. They never understand how
Maoism is a foreign conspiracy to mar our prosperity. The social
system of Communism under the veil of which worked Maoism was nipped out in its
bud in its country of origin. The doctrine of communism showed its glamour in Russia China Pakistan
They
are anti India and so are getting support from China – no Maoism is the result.
Our
leaders are the real culprits. Their corrupt practice, policy of ineffective reservation,
inability to check misappropriation of public money and inability to check
population exploration are the factors that led our country down trodden. They
don’t hesitate to squander money meant for people living in dire poverty. Their
failure to make our citizens feel united and tolerate hardship to help our country to prosper is the main cause of deterioration in the
progress of our country.
Let us
analyze the deficiency that hindered our prosperity while the then war torn haggard
countries like Germany and Japan with status of beggary became rich and
prosperous. Without a handful of food in a day in post war period they expected
it the next day; half fed they feel fortunate while our people make a mountain
of a mole hill in organizing strikes, destroying national property and other
destructive activities which are, really the creation of our selfish leaders
who are power hungry and selfish. There were no such destructive activities in India
The people of the war torn countries worked
with frail body, empty stomach, grudging none. They progressed in rapid
strides. See where are their poor and starving people?
The attribution of our leaders is that they
(leaders) had struggled for improving the status of multi-millions of our
poverty stricken people and so their attention towards our country’s progress
hampered. It appears baseless. Our leaders are less
efficient to assess the real need of their country towards effective progress
and our citizens are not so schooled by our learned politicians. Look at China
Further our leaders attributed our
poverty to the squandering of our national wealth by rich land owners,
commercial managers and the entrepreneurs with high
economic aspirations. Their contentions are that the labor class toils in
sectors of industry, agriculture and commerce but the owner
and the businessmen
reap all the benefits and the laborers are left empty handed and starve.
and the businessmen
reap all the benefits and the laborers are left empty handed and starve.
The
outcome is a catastrophe. Curtailing of employment-potential for the
newly-budding labor force was the immediate result. Enterprising
industrialists, business personalities and the other intellectuals found no scope
to attempt at newer enterprises. This arrested the economic progress of our
country. Naturally there occurred exodus of highly intelligent and talented
entrepreneurs to foreign lands. Popularly it is known as “Brain Drain.”
Out of innumerable examples one is
L.N. Mittal who is based in England and is the largest steel producer in the
world.
Earlier,
these NRIs were considered disloyal to their country as they, instead of
utilizing their talents for their motherland, used it for other countries. The
reality is otherwise. One example is the author’s own brother Suraya Pattanaik
who is now a computer consultant for countries like Japan, China and many other
developing countries, after working for 25 years in IBM, the giant manufacturer
of computer hardware in USA
In the
early days of his completion of P.G. study in Canada India Bangalore USA
with a salary 250 times that he got in India
Till now our leaders and
administrators have not realized their own inefficiency in finding the means to
employ efficient people. In the past, on account of facing humiliations, these
intellectuals preferred not to rot in Indian drains and escaped to foreign
countries waiting to utilize their proficiency. Now they are of great help that
swells our foreign exchange reserve. Till now most of our brainy people get
employment in foreign countries. Those finding employment in our country are
mostly in foreign establishments or their Indian collaborations. Unemployment
of brainy people is a parameter indicating lack of development potentials.
DEVELOPMENT IN FOOD FRONT:
We are informed that we are self
sufficient on our food front. Look toward the streets, crowded slums, and
remote rural areas. Here you will find the actual number of hungry people – the
hungry millions who barely get a square meal a day. Providing them a meal a day
will indicate what a dire famine has engulfed us!
A few of the problems that need immediate
attention were never attended. Most farmers, being illiterate, miss-utilize
chemical fertilizers and pesticides that create problems in maintenance of
potency of soil, nutritive value of the produce
and causes pollution of environment. It causes rejection of our exported food by foreigners. With plenty of raw materials we are short of natural manures and depend on chemical fertilizers. We have highest number of domestic animals in the world, and plenty of green wastes. We never attempt to collect these natural manures; allowing them to pollute our water and air and pass out to the sea. We depend on rain water mostly, but we take no or insufficient steps for conservation and steady supply of this water when needed. Our agriculture specialists hold office to remain busy in administrative work. Rarely do they visit fields in rain and sun.

The author found a yam (an
under–ground edible fleshy tuber) 35Kg in his garden. Since its usual size is 2
to 5 Kg it aroused a lot of queries and discussion among local people. It was
reported in TV and newspapers. The author expected a lot of queries from
agriculturists and horticulturists, some of whom might get the soil and other
factors tested to get such a huge vegetable as it might greatly help our
peasantry. But there occurs no response.
Deterioration in farm out-put, incidences
of farmers’ suicide are a good parameter to assess our agricultural status.
Whatever increase in production occurs it is due to increased and discreet use
of chemical manure, insecticides and peasants’ strenuous efforts to increase
the yield.
In
early fourties of last century the vegetables, fruits and other agricultural
products were fleshy and sweeter. Use of chemicals increased their quantity but
deteriorated their palatability and food value. The author’s experience during
that old period is note worthy
There was a leafy vegetable growing in kitchen gardens and fields known as ‘Khada’. It is cooked as a side dish of poor men. Equally it was liked by rich people. A stew of it with black-gram (with qualities of those days) was so tasty that it would have been a dish of world acclaim. It might have been a food product that would be exported to earn foreign currency. But this plant is taste-less now.
At present we find our red-chili has no
hotness or our turmeric has no yellow hue. Many fruits have lost their flavor.
There appears no research on this score. Look our barn fields with date-palms
of country variety. Could they not be replaced by fleshy date palms whose
fleshy fruits are of high calorific value? We have engaged our qualified
agriculturists in official work of distribution of salaries and distributing
funds to various government plans. Neither they are interested in research
activities nor do we provide them the schemes and laboratories for it. There
are millions of varieties of mangoes in our country. Many of them are so
flavorsome - sweet to taste, attractive in color and attractive in smell – that
they can attract the world market and foreign currency. Many other wild fruits,
not edible but can be used to manufacture alcohol, can be utilized
commercially. Do we pay any attention to it?
Adulteration and other criminal
activities which are presently indulged in by our food vendors are rampant now.
We get unripe fruits made market-worthy by applying poisonous chemicals.
Similarly there is the production of toxic artificial milk and other edible
items.
The least attended but more important
aspect of food front is the ever increasing hungry mouths, the population
explosion and dwindling agriculture area in favor of new roads, railways,
industrial complexes and residential complexes.
DEVELOPMENT IN OUR INDUSTRY:
technology and, marketing skill.
Out of multitude of
blunders committed by our leaders on this score one example worth mentioning is
the order for purchase of Admiral Groshkov the old aircraft carrier from Russia
free but with repairing cost of $3.4 billions of dollar in 2004. Since it was
near its state of retirement we wanted it repaired and renovated, that too by
their technicians. What a loss to our technicians and their expertise.
The funny part of the story is
that it was declared fit to join Indian fleet as Vikramaditya after 3 yrs
(2007). But the 1st attempt to get it a sea trial was unsuccessful
due to detection of a new crack on its body. In another subsequent occasion it
was rescued from sea as 8 of its 9 boilers, repaired with Chinese heat-resistant
tiles, burst. The repairing went on and final delivery was scheduled to be in
2012. But there is no sign of its delivery though 2013 is ending. The cost of
repair has jumped up 8 times in 2012 and expected to be 12 times at its time of
delivery. The process of repair which met two major accidents (minor ones not
known) will not threat the safety of our naval heroes.
The other
piteous part of the story is that our poor artisans who were preparing the
decorative dresses, masks, and other fancy materials for theatrical
performances, street shows or as fancy materials for children are now importing these items
from China as its cost is considerably low. Our artisans, instead of crafting
these materials, prefer to market these Chinese products in home market. It is
a riddle to solve when the cost of the raw materials for these crafts are more
in our county than the finished products of China
DEVELOPMENT IN SPACE RESEARCH
We are made to understand that we have
progressed quite far and have put satellites in the orbit of the moon and are
progressing to Mars. We have also developed technology to produce most advanced
solid fuel. Are we not quite late in putting a satellite in space? We were
quite apprehensive of spending money in space technology as we were fearful of
its prohibitive cost when it started. We did not hear anything about its cost
from Russia USA INDIA
Let us
come to our original topic.
According to a rough estimate the true
cost of a rocket with an experimental satellite for space flight would never
exceed 300 to 400 crore rupees. This estimate is too low and is
incomprehensible in USA China USA
Let us consider the basic constituents
of a satellite with its rocket and also for Jets and War-ships.
1.
Iron – Iron ore in India
2.
The other raw materials – There is
no dearth of it in our country. Development of craftsmanship to utilize it is
what we need.
3.
Instrumental components.- The
methods of converting the metals and
other materials into different instruments and machineries of the rockets, satellites,
Jets & sub-marines is a process which provides employment to multitude
of scientists, craftsmen, technologists
and other skilled or non-skilled workers. It brings up laboratories, work-shops
and other technical institutions. All this leads to sharpen craftsmanship to
produce superb and advanced instruments which indicate the progress of
scientific and technological achievements of a country. The cost estimated is
the currency changing hands – Government to contractor; contractor to laborers
and artisans and so on, till it reaches back to the government treasury in the
form of revenue. Also it, indirectly, helps farmers, weavers and other such
people to work and earn their livelihood. It means a progressive economy with
technological achievements beyond our conception. - Money changes hand that produces
gold from sand.
4.
The know-how
- This is a stumbling block. Expenditure of foreign currency to buy it or
intensive research to achieve it is the requirement. Failure and rectification
are the two pillars to bring out technical achievements. We did not consider it
– Finance department objected, administrative approval cancelled, leaders did
not have time to ponder over its outcome. Till now we are quite deficient in
our skill, efficiency and innovative ideas to develop technologically newer and
advanced machineries and innovative techniques. So we lag behind and depend on
foreign firms to advance our industrial products that include not only jets, submarines
but also dolls for children, nail-cutter and key-ring household uses.
5.
Man power – Ordinary, scientific or
technical man power is plenty in our country but they find no job. Naturally the
cream, the intelligentsias, of our country immigrates to other countries- Brain
drain.
In fact
our leaders failed to comprehend our capabilities and the capacity to get success.
They remain busy in administration which are often tangles presented as heaps
of papers or files in their offices. Also they always safeguard their position
in their party and safe-keep their
prospect in their constituency .They make high sounding speeches about
their efforts to feed our hungry millions without thinking about the
utilization of our country’s capabilities to produce more food and more
employment. We never gave importance to our senior most creative scientist, our
ex- President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam who advised our leaders to start their effort
to produce sophisticated planes, war ships and other technologically superior
instruments as we have enough technologists in our country.
Let
us be sincere to note the recent view of President Barrack Obama who advised
Americans ‘Buckle up as Indians are coming.’

OUR DEMOCRACY
Administration is an extremely important procedure adopted for
peaceful and orderly social living. In case of animal herds one animal, usually
strongest, heads the horde. There is no codified law but natural instinct
prevails; the horde maintains discipline and their living becomes an easy go.
We, the
humanity, with intelligence and conscience devised procedures of
administration. Kings, chieftains or emperors were the heads for our society in
administration in past days. But now democracy – the way of administration by
persons elected through adult franchise – is pursued in many countries. Our India
The elite
public of India
Why a
person would spend so high an amount? In fact serving people, helping the
development of the country, or attaining height of social status are the modest
motives of a sincere politician. The other motives, dangerous and destructive,
are to establish and maintain self supremacy by gathering money, however foul
the means of collection may be, and building muscle power to be a bully. A
bully’s social importance is increasing nowadays. During the British era a man
visiting England
Our constitution makers failed to
envisage such problems as all the leading personnel (eligible leaders) then
were stalwarts of sincerity, self-sacrifice, honesty, patriotism and
truthfulness to their back bone. Entry of criminals started after Lal Bahadur
Sastri’s demise and Guljarli Nanda’s disinclination to take the responsibility
of administration in proxy for longer period. Everybody knew his sincerity but
none came forward to persuade him as the power hungry people politically
twisted the destiny of Indian administration. The number of sincere, selfless
and non-power-hungry persons was gradually reduced to insignificance; that
clears the path for entry of evildoers, characterless and ill motivated persons
into the political arena and administration.

DRIVING INDIA TO
ITS HERITAGE
Gandhiji’s dream of
‘Rama Rajya’ is a myth nowadays. Alexander, Chengis Khan and other demonical
invaders are, up till now, considered invincible heroes with superhuman powers.
They pursued a sort of invasive carnage like killing, torturing, molesting, and
disrespecting the religious faith of inoffensive and peace-loving people. They
crowned their invasions by plundering the rare and valuable possession of a
country or its people who collected and saved them at the cost of their sweat
and blood.
Now we know why Indians were considered
cowards against invaders who were barbaric and devoid of human sentiment of
love, brotherhood, sympathy, helping attitude and other humanitarian qualities.
Alexander or Chengiz Khan went from place to place as ruthless marauders in search
of human blood. Nowhere had they received a hero’s welcome. Rather they were
murdered by their own people before reaching their country which was devastated
as all the able-bodied people had been killed leaving the country in want of
food and all other necessities of life.
Gandhiji proved what a boon nonviolence is
for peaceful existence of mankind.
Barbarism is the word that would substitute
heroism of the past. Gandhiji discovered our rich legacy of superiority of
administration and peaceful living. He advocated ‘Ram Raj.’ It was not in favor
of monarchy but the spirit of devotion toward the welfare of their subjects..
The prince, the inheritor of a kingdom, had to undergo strict training under
sages in human relations, selfless administration, use of armory, and heroism
in saving innocent people pursuing truthful living in peace.
The
failure of the objective of our constitution makers, as indicated earlier is
felt now as a cataclysm for us.
In the changed circumstances now, the party
system and election process is breeding contempt and enmities. Anybody can
create a party or dissociate with his original party at any time. Winning an
election is a matter of money and muscle. Brotherhood, friendship, confidence,
sacrifice and other humanitarian qualities are lost in all levels –national,
state, village, school colleges, friends and also in families and among
friends. Hatred, disbelieve, suspicion, falsehood and enmity would make
citizens suspicious of each other move with daggers in hand. Violence is
reflected everywhere whenever there is an election, may it be
in college, labor union or an institution.
It is high time to retrieve our old
process of administration with modification to democracy. The smallest unit of
human habitation i.e. villages, hamlets and streets or wards of towns should be
the basic units. People there would select a person whom they would consider
their headman to take care of their affairs. There will be no party politics
that shatters the peaceful living in villages or small groups (streets of
towns) or in hamlets of remote forests. Honest, conscientious and sacrificing
people will come up there through selection or election as village head. The
next higher group of leaders like Sarapancha, and chairman will be elected by
voting from among these (grass root) leaders. Then will come all the parties
for election to Assemblies or the Parliament. The candidates would have no
restriction of region, province or any other sectarian considerations. The
consideration of their social, professional achievements and brilliancy in
other field should be given importance.
This process would eliminate
regionalism, crime mongering aspirants and the parties will be compelled to put
up candidates of high caliber in national or international status. Any citizen is free to contest. At present 90%
of citizens whose property is less than one crore are not capable for
contesting an election. This is a deceptive and crafty process devised by
people of high economic hierarchy. There should be restriction that a candidate
would be debarred from contesting in next one or two elections if he secured
less than 10% of votes. There could be other restrictions too.
In democracy
people and votes are important factors. The people, persons, have wide
variations in their intelligence which can be scaled from highly intelligent to
low intellect. An aborigine person has no process of thinking more than what is
required for his way of natural living. As a citizen he can’t be compared to
sagacious ones in society. Naturally his voting ability is negative and his
vote is without meaning for himself or his country. There are also other
citizens who are less intellectual. All of them (about 60% of our total
population), can be swayed away by candidates with criminal aspirations. It is
impossible to asses these factors. But these people, with whatever sagacity
they have, will exhibit their sensibility in villages or other clusters when
they sit together to decide their local problems or voting process.
These proposals are but
suggestions. Proposals for modifications, additions and exclusions by others
are welcome
It is worth noting that our Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh has comprehended the importance of Panchayati Raj
(April 2010) and issued directives to concerned authorities for its effective
implementation when he realized that the Government – both Center and States,
of Congress or other parties – have failed to fight the Noxal menace in spite
of applying police and paramilitary forces.

Ch-VII
OUR JUDICIARY, LAW & LEGAL PROCEDURES
But after independence this legal system
faced adversity. Our leaders, to achieve supremacy over others and gather
followers, adopted mostly foul and rarely fair means. Independence
Mass support is the cherished objective of
anybody aspiring for leadership. They adopt many foul means to gather mass
support and collect funds by fair or foul means to gain social status or
achieve superior posts in the administration hierarchy. Their modus operandi is
to provoke hatred among people who were living peacefully in the society. They
bring forward, rather create issues like oppression of the poor by the rich, the
lower-class by the upper-class, and many others like religion, cast, regions.
All these create a lot of litigation –undue burden on judiciary.
It is high time that we seriously
heeded the warning of Justice V.V.S.Rao of Madrass High Court that the Indian
Judiciary would take 320 years to clear backlog cases which number 31.20
million. The obstructing factors are giving undue importance to human evidence,
while giving no or less importance to absolute scientific evidences or other
newer forensic aids like pictures taken by photographic devices, video recording,
verification of cell-phone recording with voice analysis, DNA analysis and
procedures like lie detection, brain mapping, and so many others.
Let us discuss a few exemplary cases.
In case of (Nov.08) terrifying attack
of terrorists in Mumbai, causing cruel massacre of innocent people, harmless
tourists, police and army personnel, with destruction of personal and public
property, only one culprit, Ajmal Kasab, could be caught alive. Till (2012) four
years have passed to charge him with the offence. All the reality of events of
massacre, destruction of property, and other activities of annihilation in day
light and that too before the multitude of passers-by, was of no acceptable
evidence to pin him to his misdeeds. Investigating officials have to search for
personal evidence (human witness). Culprit’s confession or statements which
vary according to his sweet will or on his adviser’s instruction are never
considered as useless. In fact the investigating officials are given
a jigsaw puzzle, with missing or distorted pieces, to solve before submitting
the charge -sheet.
We can’t accuse anybody engaged in
our judiciary service as they are bound to act according to the statute,
jurisprudence, the criminal code and human welfare program –“innocent until
proved guilty”. The millions of photographs taken from different angles, news
paper cuttings, Radio and TV clippings and personal experience of people and
fighting forces, are the factual evidences which are absolute, infallible and
as clear as daylight. Further these facts and figures which are undeniable,
unquestionable and without a shadow of doubt are considered insignificant as
evidence in the existing setup. At times the audiovisual manipulation,
sensation–mongering print and mass media and perjury vitiate truth. These are
easy to be verified. Are we wise to
maintain our old codes without considering these facts?
In this particular case of Kasab
who got death penalty was allowed to appeal – an insurance
to lengthen life. His colleagues were happy to get more time for an opportunity
to hijack a plane or some short of these activities to get the government of
India bow down and set him free. Fortunately India escaped such humiliation by
executing the culprit in 2012.
Take the case of the murder of the
model, Jessica Lal. She was a beautiful girl, innocent and lovely, earning her
livelihood as a bar maid. She was shot dead by a young man Manu Sharma as she
refused to serve him wine when she was off duty. The ghastly deed was a
manifestation of his ego, that he was the son of an eminent leader, Binod
Sharma, once a central minister.
A homicide case was lodged against this
criminal but the trial court verdict was in favor of the murderer as there was
no witness to give evidence. The argument of the plaintiff’s lawyer was weak
and that of the defendant was strong. We, Indian public, fail to understand how
many Jessicas would have faced murder if they did not submit to the evil wills
of frenzied youngsters, especially if they were the sons of the leaders of a
devilish make-up. Fortunately the media came to help and evoked public clamor.
A retrial was made, the culprit was awarded a life term. Further story on this
score is equally denouncing. The culprit availed parole for a few days but
could prolong his stay out. No judge, no investigating police, no people near
about the site of the crime got any stricture.
Recently one trial court issued non-bail
able warrant against our President, Prime Minister and the Chief Justice of
Supreme Court. Fortunately the misdeed of the judicial officer was detected
before execution. Till now no public information is available on the action taken
by the concerned authorities. Only penalizing the culprit is no good to prevent
such notorieties in future. The concerned judge, official and other concerned
people should receive exemplary punishment.
A mother of two children eloped with
their domestic help. A case of abduction was lodged. Police rescued the lady.
She was sent to her house and the boy was sent to jail. In another instance a
girl after marriage maintained her illicit connection with her lover.
Restricting her from such activities enraged her. She lodged an F.I.R. (First
Information Report) in police station on dowry demand. The entire family
members including the nonagenarian grand mother-in-law were dragged to jail.
The obvious culprits are exonerated in the eyes of our law which is made for
the innocent ones. Should we not correct such anomalies in our law?
A lover, suspecting fidelity of his
beloved, called her to his room. He stabbed her to death and consumed poison.
Neighbors being alert on the cry of the girl reached the site. Breaking open
the door they found the girl dead. They rescued the boy who recovered in the
hospital. He admitted his guilt. His parents engaged a lawyer. The lawyer
helped him and he retracted his confession. He changed his statement saying he
made the confession on police harassment. His subsequent statement was that
some young people, one of who might be her estranged lover, came, stabbed her
and forced on him a soft drink. They threatened him to close the door after
their departure, otherwise they would kill him. This made the case complicated
and lengthened the procedure for years.
There are frequent controversies in cases of paternity
determination. Arabindo Dhali, a minister in Orissa, was recently charged on
this score by a girl. Similar is the charge against Mr.N. D. Tewari, the old
veteran leader of congress, once a Central minister and a Governor of Andhra
Pradres by a young man. Also many other cases might be there taxing the
judiciary for years. Millions of rupees, myriads of court hours and specialized
human hours are lost unnecessarily. Just a few days and Rs.1000/ are required
to determine the DNA of both parties to find the truth. We are really callous
to admit and amend our deficiencies successfully.
By 2012 this litigation of Tewary
is solved with DNA testing. Unfortunately the other innocent and helpless girl
is still suffering – or the culprit solved the problem. Such advantages should
be accepted by judiciary with immediate effect. Did Tewari bear the cost of
this litigation?
These miscreants should be
investigated that they have raped a girl and subject her to illegitimate
pregnancy. Many other such misdeeds may come to light and they are expected to
be done by influential leaders or high-ups in our society.
Presently, in our changed circumstances, our
judiciary and legal systems failed to act efficiently with our Civil and
Criminal codes written long back by the British. Naturally it requires
revision, simplification with scientific orientation. Expert sociologists, psychologists,
doctors, lawyers, technical persons, Judges and other interested people should
sit together to consider needful changes and frame a new statute.

Ch-VIII
MENDING INDIA’S ADMINISTRATIVE DEBACLE
Mahatma Gandhi, Netaji Subash Chandra Bose, Pandit
Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Ballhab Bhai Patel, Lal Bahadur Sastri, Guljarli Nanda
and many others among whom many were life sacrificing heroes, envisaged an
India with Ram Raj (Most well-administered. country) after independence.
But after about two decades of independence we
find the contrary. Our new generation leaders, the helms men for our country’s
progress who took the responsibility to build India, gradually transformed to
selfish ones and plunderers of public property. They become regardless to
country’s prosperity and show no mercy to suffering millions of their hungry
neighbors. They became criminally selfish and never hesitated to loot their
motherland for their own self. Furthermore they did not feel guilty to invest
it – our national wealth - in foreign banks which are utilized as resources to
improve their country – obviously a subversive activity for one’s own mother
land. They spend their energy and ill-got money to deceive the innocent,
illiterate and poor people, who are the major mass of voters. Also plenty of
money is hurled at the starving poor for feasting and drinking spree during the
period of voting. And also high deceitful promises are made and threat of
physical assault applied to collect votes.
We have already discussed
such things but failed to bring home the need of the duty of our conscious
citizens to avert it. Anna Hazare, Baba Ramdev and many other magnanimous
personalities had their sincere efforts at the cost of their life with Gandhian
efforts. Their earlier attempts were trampled to dust by brutal power – like that of
foreign invaders - by government formed by our own leaders who are elected by
us. Are these people who voted them, conscious of the folly they (people) have
done? Would they ever be able?
Naturally our plight as
Indians is ever increasing.
Poverty, hunger, failure in increasing the
production of food and industrial output, lack of-achievement in scientific and
technological fields, failure in
bringing social amity, failure to provide health-care and education to all and
so many other such necessities of our citizens appear as never ending problems.
Winston
Churchil, the great statesman and literary personality of England , was known for his anti India India in to smaller
states by these petty and selfish leaders would revert India
The next
step they, the Britons, took was to make people educated and conscious of
loyalty to administration, law and respect to seniors. Education was aided and
facilities like exemption from school fees and messing charges for poor and
intelligent students. Education then was teaching students to follow ethics,
develop character, get abide by well coded social rules. The Indian penal code
and other such social necessities with increasing knowledge in different
subjects of study were taught by teachers of high morality.
Many
inhuman practices like sacrifice of life of a wife in her husband’s pyre, human
sacrifice for turmeric cultivation, robbery by Thagas and other social evils
were rooted out by them. But we could not root out honor killing, destruction
of flora and fauna and other such vices which are the dangerous hazards to
environment and humanity.
Introduction
of Policing, Postal service, Railways are their commendable achievements. To
construct a kilometer of Railway line in a mountain terrain, at their time when
there were no modern heavy equipments, was a stupendous achievement. Imagine
their skill and perseverance when the power of men and animals were the only
help to do these uphill tasks. In our present experience - with dishonesty,
squandering of sanctioned amount by the leaders with the connivance of the
executive officials and insincerity among labor force - we would have our railway
in infancy.
British
occupation besides serving their own selfish goal has done a lot of good for us
- unlike Spaniards who destroyed the Maya civilization in South America when
they occupied the land of these people.
Let
us consider a few of the efforts, in addition to those natural wealth and rich heritage. Let us take
necessary steps to prevent misutilisation of votes of innocent, poor voters who
are liable to swayed away easily with foul means. Let us try to bring the
honest, sincere, selfless people to fore-front to lead us. Let us understand
why in a span of ¾th quarter of a century of our independence we have not
achieved eye catching economic- status like Germany ,
Japan and China
discussed earlier, to
save our India, its innocent citizens, selfless statesmen, abundant
Mrs.
Kanimozih, Rajya Sabha member of DMK party was found swindling a few thousands
crore of Rupees of our public exchequer in 2G spectrum scam. She was arrested
in charges of corruption. Seeking the loop hole in our judiciary she got bail
in a court – the 1st step of proof that she is 10% free of the criminal
charges. On her release from jail she was hailed high in public esteem –
exemplified by her reception by a huge number of cheering crowd and top leaders
like Karunanidhi, the Ex- chief minister, and a large numbers of leaders of top
position. Is this not a clear demonstration that so many people and leading
personalities are dangerously selfish to support swindlers ruining our own
country?
The
prime accused of this scam, A. Raja (DMK), minister of Telecom in the congress
coalition ministry headed by Dr. Manmohan Singh, is expected to escape in the
same process and obtain distinction of trust-worthiness of vast numbers of
public and important leaders. Further question in this scam is that, how such
activities could not be sniffed-off by his colleagues, seniors or other
officials. So the suspicion of corruption goes up to the seniors – the Prime Minister
and the head of the party in power. Is it not the indication that the people at
the helm of our administration - the leaders having highest confidence
(votes/supports) of our people are corrupt? They are not only selfish and
swindlers but are also people-charmers like snake charmers.
Let us start working for rectifying our
administration, judiciary, political set-up and constitution according to the
suggestions discussed in earlier chapters.
Other common and
frequent criminal activities
These
types of activities are rampant and ever increasing. People in our society are
living in constant fear of such criminals. And our police department is blamed
of their inefficiency to catch the culprit or failing to prove their guilt in
trial courts. A few such criminal activities are worth discussing.
1. Bank Robbery:-
The old British pattern of a
Bank guard – ferocious size, massive mustaches, lion’s look and a double barrel
gun on back – creates a feeling of fear for any act of mischief inside the
bank.
The
days are changed now. A small pistol thrust to the guard’s back will numb him
and make the rubbery an easy go. The guards should be in disguise with
tranquilizing guns for an effective interception of the robbers without any or
slight harm to customers.
Installation
of Close Circuit Camera and other modern equipments needs no mention. Gun with
active cartridge carry the fear o f shooting an innocent person.
2. Street
robbery:-
During transportation of
valuables or heavy cash usually guards accompany them in the same vehicle
(carriage). A sudden attack with peeper or other eye irritant powders or gun
firing makes the loot easy. The guards should follow the vehicle, carrying
cash, in another vehicle preferably disguised and with tranquilizer gun. Saving
cash, catching the culprits and discouraging their dare devil spirit would be
the result
3. V.I.P.
protection:-
The mode of the assassination
of General Baidya, the terror for Khalistan terrorists in Punjab ,
when he was moving in his car with a body guard, is worth analyzing. The
assassins, in a motor-cycle, posing over-taking the car, fired point-blank and
killed him then and there. The body-guard with massive bulk and a larger gun
failed to adjust in the small space of the car so the murderers had an easy
escape.
In
this context let us remember the assassination attempt on an Israel diplomat in a gathering in London
4. Crime in society:-
Criminal
activities in society like murder, rape, molestation, house breaking, tender
fixing, road side looting,
acid attack, extortion etc are increasing in
geometric progression. The administration and police take undue strain as the
culprits get punishment for a certain period and start their activities as soon
as they are released from the jail. In so doing they seek excitement, pleasure
and thrill of winning a game of hide and seek with the police. On loosing they
will have a restful living with TV, indoor-games and other entertainments.
Rigorous imprisonment is just exercising to prop up one’s lethargic body in a
restful jail life.
Justified
inhuman penalty (judicious and laborious) is the only deterrent to bring a
culprit back to human shape.
An
offender repeating offence for the second time should be admitted in to an
adult reformatory where he is to earn his bred in captivity (bonded labor).
This would reform him and he would prefer to live as a day-laborer than bearing
the anguish of the reformatory. The multiplication of criminal groups -
increasing illegal activities like directing criminal activities outside jail
by gangsters in custody- and their daring attempt to challenge the police will
be effectively curtailed if rigorous penalizations straighten them.
5. Few other
unlawful activities which
administration fails to control:-
(i). Encroachment
of Public land:
It is more common in
Cities and towns. Influential people are more involved. There occurs tussles
and rowdyism during eviction. Govt. spends money to get its own land. The
solution is simple and without any trouble if the following procedures are
adopted.
A
list of encroachments is prepared and published in media and copies sent to the
encroachers giving them a time period to evict. After deadline only a few sites
were taken up and demolition begins. The cost of demolition-charges and the
rent of the occupied area, for the period of occupation (decided then and
there), should be realized at the spot. In case of failure to pay the cash
equivalent, adjacent land of the encroacher is also acquired
This
procedure would scare other encroachers to evict their own illegal occupations.
The complaint of favoritism in selecting the site could be eliminated by
selection through lottery in public.
It is not that, such simple procedure is not contemplated by our high
-ups elected or in administration. But almost all the encroachers are among
these people (high-up) or their relatives or supporters.
(ii). Doing away
the use of plastic materials:
Plastic
products are an environmental problem causing nuisance like clogging drains,
spreading rubbish in public places, killing cattle, disturbing soil fertility
etc. Since long, our government has failed to restrict its use in spite of
enacting law and ordinances against it several times.
On
thinking deep we find that plastic bags and other products are helpful to
environment in a big way. Paper (a product from plants), leaves, barks and wood
are saved due to the use of plastic bags and other packing materials. It is
also of great public convenience for other different uses.
So
instead of enforcement of law that fails let us take other measures against the
‘plastic bomb’ (a suitable nomenclature given by our Supreme Court) that is
threatening our existence.
Steps to encourage repeated use and utilize
its waste:
II. The income
from this deal should be utilized on research on effective recovery and recycle
to original material or other by-products. Recently tough materials, stronger
then iron is produced by reprocessing thrown away plastic materials that could
substitute iron and wood.
(iii) Manufacture
of spurious drugs and drinks, cultivation of contra-banned plants like
Cannabis-indica and poppy plants:
These
activities are trebled since our self administration than that of British.
Persons (usually government servants) who are responsible to check such
activities are to nip these activities in bud. But they fail to do it
carelessly or with self interest. And when it is detected they take credit of
catching the culprit. This must be carefully considered if we really want an
effective preventive measure.
6. Some other
problems:-
(i). Mob &
mass frenzy:
It is a peculiar phenomenon of
sudden exhibition of anger and frenzy by people where the causative factor may
be serious or trivial. People gather
together, either in agitated mood or get violent on some irritating incident
when they are gathering for other purposes. The exhibition of anger encouraging
violence ensues. Some innocent people, without knowing anything, join the
agitation and take part in arson, destruction of public property and fighting
with each other. The fighting is usually between two quarrelling groups or with
police force controlling the riot. But sometimes the mass fury comes out of
blue.
Examples
are plenty but a few are given below.
In one occasion in Uruguay when their country
won the world title in football the spectators were so excited that there
occurred a violent riot so much so that police had to fire to disburse the mob.
The cause could not be assessed in spite of intensive trial.
In another occasion in New Delhi
Exactly
the appearance of police aggravates the excitability of people. A new method of
quelling the people is that a helicopter should be engaged to take video
pictures of the agitation. After establishment of peace video photographs
should be analyzed to detect the culprits destroying public property or doing
other nuisances. They should be arrested and shown their crime to accept the
penalty recommended by law.
Police
role should be to prevent the spread of the riot. Police action is to be
applied if the riot goes beyond control. In such a situation police action in
no case be blamed as ‘excess’ as they are put to apply force without any mala fide
intention of anybody among the force If
someone found excessive in action, he may be given other tasks.
Political
parties organize demonstration frequently. They promise non violence and substantiation
for people’s benefit but it turns riotous causing loss of life and property.
They are no less harmful as discussed earlier.
(ii). Fake police
encounters:
A
girl, Ishrat Jahan of Gujarat when moving in a
car with two of her friends, was intercepted as terrorists with sinister
program. They were intercepted and in encounter they were killed. Her mother and
her friends attributed it as a fake encounter. The case is in trial for several
years. But finding a few facts must have solved the problem in a short time.
The questions to
find the truth are:
(i).Is there anybody inimical to the girl or her
accompanying people in the police party or any person capable of influencing
them? Was there any contractual element for the killing?
(ii).Are the accompanying youths were genuine friends of
the girl? What were their relations with other friends of the girl, her mother
and other family relatives? Are they some strangers to the girl?
(iii).Is a Muslim girl allowed to move with other young
men at night or day?
(iv).Were they not given warning to submit?
(v).Did the girl’s party fired back?
(vi).If they are not in a party where they were and how
are they killed and gathered together?
(vii).Verification of activities of Ishrat from her
Cell-phones, other media of contact, College attendance or activities in her office,
Diary entry, Coded letters or Messages, she received or sent, should have been
searched to authenticate her espionage activities if any. Similar process of
enquiry of such documents of other deceased persons and accused officers or
political leaders would have provided a lot of authentic information towards
solution.
And many
other such genuine questions should have been solved before accusing the police
whom we engage to guard the miscreants and terrorist The of subversive activities of our enemies
inside or outside our country are always lurking to wrack and ruin us.
Naturally the roll of crime controlling sleuths has a hazardous and
controversial roll to play.
It
should be noted that in crime management the statements of the family members,
friends, and other contacts of criminals should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Their statements, if found correct, should be rewarded. If not their role in
aiding and abetting the crime should be investigated.
They, more frequently, are abettors, helping criminals in their
underground camouflage and deserve severe punishment. This is an essential factors
to blur the truth is crime and prevention of criminal activities.
Our
criminal prevention squads are likely to commit mistakes or other lapses while
serving the interest of the country. To keep-up their daring sprit high any
such activities should be treated as top secret. Let us consider some
destructive & subversive activists against India like Daud Ibrahim, Hafiz
Saeed and prominent terrorists and their terror training institutions.
They use Pakistan as a heavenly abode and execute their
anti- Indian activities. Can our espionage locate, attack and eliminate them. USA
demonstrated such activities against their enemy, the world’s most prominent
terrorist Osama Bin Laden. Many of their activities might have illegal, inhumanly
and invasive on the sovereignty of another country.
There occured not a single clamor either in their own or other
countries. One has the right to deal his enemy where ever he is found. India
should announce such steps -increase the activities of espionage and chasing
their arch enemies where ever they flee. Indians should be above interring political
rivalry to expose their own heroes of daring activities.
It
seems there is a good amount of misunderstanding among our intelligence
organizations leading to security lapses. We are quarreling among ourselves
while David Headle, the deadly terrorist arrested in USA and terrorist’s
document in Pakistan indicated that Ishrat Jahan was in terrorist list. Our
leaders should ponder on it and make effort to make our intelligence institutions
comparable to international standard. Probably none of our citizens know that
we suffered a set-back in developing our cryogenic technology for rocket propulsion
when our espionage department suspected some active scientists and debarred
them from research at ISSRO.
However
in the present case, if atrocities of police and leaders are detected on
selfish grounds the concerned officers and leaders, who conspired it, should
face punishment, no less than hanging.
(iii). Atrocities on
women:
Rape, murder and abduction –
These are criminal activities of man against women. A male cannot be raped except in unusual sex
practices. A rapist is usually an inhuman criminal and avails sex, if he finds
slightest opportunity, without care to the consent of the girl. . .
Sex, like appetite, is an important urge in living beings. In plants
it is remotely controlled while in animals it is controlled by hormonal cycles.
But in human being it is not only controlled by sex hormones but also by
complex psychosomatic factors.
A living being has two indispensible
urges one is Appetite which is important for maintenance and continuation of
life; while the other is sexual urge for procreation, perpetuation and
propagation of one’s own species.
In the process of evolution man’s
intelligence started giving new color to the process of enjoyment in life. The
various enjoyments of our ancestors, the forest dwellers, were laborious and
included hunting wild animals, searching fruits, tubers, honey etc. in forest and
exploring new land with adventurous activities like crossing mountain terrains
or swimming flooded rivers or rowing across turbulent oceans. They lived naked
and sex was a casual enjoyment. Where would come rape or molestation or
sadistic torment that torture to kill a girl – one of the example was Damini,
the Delhi girl who was raped in front of her lover in a running bus. She was
tortured and inflicted with fatal injuries and thrown out of the running bus.
In the process of evolution as man’s
intelligence advanced and they found their food and shelter easily, there occurred a sea change in the process of
enjoyment in life. Dance, drama, nakedness and increase desire on amorous
affairs attracted their mind. In addition intoxicants like alcohol and narcotic
materials, naked shows in prints and electronic
media had their role to excite amorous and criminal desires. Besides the fact
that there being no problem in living a life of hardship the ever active human
brain goes berserk. The present gang rape with sadistic torture and murder in
Delhi;(Nirvaya) Billa and Ranga killing teenaged brother and sister after
raping the girl; Nithari episode where many girls - toddlers to young women –
were allured to be raped and killed in
that city; the media report of P.J. Kurien, Deputy Chairman of Loksabha (congress) a senior congress leaders gang raping a girl
for about a month accompanied by twenty of his followers; and other millions of such incidents happening though out the world
are but the out-come of savagery and down grading of conscience. That is the
result of sadistic and brutal process of evolution of human mind – the
accompanying outcome of civilization. Evolutionary process always upgrades. So
imagine the result we are facing now and would face in future!
It is worth mentioning here that
mind-less shooting spree of children in a school at Connecticut in USA and
crazy firing at innocent people at picnic in Norway, are the effect of same
process of mental derangement and would produce disaster in future. Look to the
history! Such crimes – abduction, extortion, murder, invasion etc. – led to individual
or group fights and great wars in the world and are frequently related to women
(sex) affairs.
Angry mass furry, roaring mass media,
leader’s angry exchange (between government and opposition) are but the
evidence of exposing anger and hatred which deters an amicable solution of a
problem. Placing armed guards in schools or putting a police in every meter of
the street in a city, enacting stringent laws and ordinances, hanging the
culprit etc. are futile efforts. Nothing would be its out-come.
The
recent judgment, after 14 years trial of Kerala high court, on the case of
abduction, rape, gang rape of a teen aged girl by 36 persons within a period of
40 days indicates an advancing catastrophe to our Indian society.
The
numerous problems involved in this case are a girl enticing a boy or the girl
abducted by the boy, both the partners enjoyed and invited friends to give
company, their willingness with each other, the girl transferred from one to
other hand as a vending sex dole- stealthily or willingly- which might be the
problem of mentality for prostitution or whimsicality of under aged sexually
potent children. Besides this obsessional killing of lone girls, serial killing
mania, other problems like unilateral love, infidelity in conjugal living,
girls and boys living as friends are rampant now. They are now straws in the
whirlwind posing as catastrophe for our Indian society which raised its head
high on morality in the present world.
Suggestions for remedial measures:
1. Not possible to rectify a natural
instinct that got tainted with violence since early civilization.
2. Would be possible only if we can
take care of our future generation taking birth. They should be under control
of social reformists (in fact conscious parents, teachers and peers of the
society) with the psychiatrists, sociologist, doctors as the people to watch
and guide the mental or physical aspect of growth and development of children. Further
discussion is there on the chapter ‘Education’.
3. The progressive mentality towards
violence and sex is shattering peace in various religions and regions in the
world. The bestial aspect of mind of human-being if not brought under control,
there will be no peace or non-violence. which may lead to destructive
activities like skirmishes to world war.
4.
Nakedness in show business and
cell-phones providing stealthy contact between
young souls are encouraging rather stimulating amorous desires in their mind.
So it needs immediate control.
6. The role of the victim and her boy
friend in Delhi
(iv) Criminal
consequences of addiction to wine and women:
Such
practices consider derision are present since inception of human societies.
Attempt to eliminate it is resulting in encouragement of crime and other such
practices as underworld activities. India which won the struggle of
independence under a new philosophy of non-violence and abstinence from wine
and women, the superb philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, failed to follow it after
independence.
The
suggestion is to allow both (wine and woman) in secluded areas demarcated, as
is done for market places or places of social gathering. Satiating the natural
urges should be, under skillful regulation. It should be more artistic,
enjoyable and relaxing. Disco, Drama other cultural activities and ethical
teachings by religious icons should be side by side. According to the view of
Acharya Rajnis, a famous religious leader who teaches that after relaxation
with amorous activities a person gets relaxation and refreshment of mind to
conduct effective prayer and puja. This would
penetrate, one’s mind, deep in to the realm of God and make him know what the
Godly activities mean?
The enjoyment with wine and women is in practice in
star hotels and it is for people of high status only. To make it generalized as
discussed would solve a lot of problems considered crime in society.

EDUCATION
IN INDIA
Education is needed to make people
improve their mental faculty to live in society with understanding each other
and improving their knowledge in humanities, science, & technology. It virtually
ends in adult hood. But those who are inquisitive or those who are interested
in research on various aspects of knowledge continue studying till capable.
Education in preliminary
status
In
pre-British era our pattern of education consisted of village level teaching
(Chatsali) and then studying subjects on religion, literature (In Sanskrit and
mother-tongue), armory, and other necessities for living. The teacher is
usually a senior learned person of high morality – a hermit or a recluse - and
the institution was a secluded place like a hermitage or a natural place of
peace and tranquility. The technical teaching was given by way of
apprenticeship – a black-smith teaches technical skill to shape iron..
Subsequently developed newer subjects and so many teachers taught in one place
–the early concept of ‘Bidyapitha’ and ‘Biswa Bidyalaya’. The modern concept of
it is ‘the university’.
In British era we adopted their system.
Earliest education for a child is given in nursery and then kindergarten where
the child learns to tolerate the enclosure of school compound and next to the
school rooms, and then attempt is made to teach him alphabets. No force but the
skill to get the child interested in reading and writing is made by way of
playful activities like singing, drawing, playing, dancing. Moral teaching for
adopting amiable social living in western style - hallow, bye-bye, excuse me,
beg pardon and other such social interaction are brought home to the child at
this stage. Then there comes the primary teaching
Std. I, II ….. The child is introduced to
different subjects of humanities, science and early mathematics. Moral and
ethical subjects of high standard on virtuous social living are in the
curriculum. Also again due importance to pattern of talk, introducing own-self
to others, patient hearing to other’s views, tolerance to criticism and honesty
in every dealings in life are expected to be taught and practiced to make a
pupil, a future citizen – up-right, straight-forward, daring and truthful.
Now
Indian version of English schools – Aryan Schools – has come up. Here high
value of Indian heritage – an approach to a senior with respect and modesty; to
a junior with affectionate approach; and to a foreigner with due decorum - is
given importance. Inclusions of
sincerity, etiquette, self-sacrificing, truthfulness in the character which is
considered superb in the world are also taught here.
There is
a legitimate question. Could moral education bring a change that would create a
world with peaceful living with no vices among its citizens? If a child could
sacrifice his life for a cause that he feels it (rather taught him to feel) as
a holy cause and so he gladly agrees to be a human bomb why can’t we make our
pupil a morally superior being by teaching morality? Also let us consider the
society of ancestors in forest, who lived naked. They never faced rape or
molestation. Their customary living got the human instincts – sex, and other
sensory instincts – in self control. So, why not such type of education, and
moral demonstration of seniors and teachers could help the pupil to learn such
high standard of morality.
The increase
of amorous scenes, exposure of sensual parts of beautiful girls along with a
chivalrous activity of a bonny boy in electronic media
is constantly
exhibited for enjoyments of adults. The frequent glimpse of such scenes must
have its adverse effect in children. Should we not try to
prevent this trend?
In
our educational curriculum we grossly neglect physical fitness of a student. It
is found that a student finds no time - even few minutes – to spare for
exercise. This aspect should be sincerely considered by our planners of
education to have our citizens mentally brilliant and physically brawny.
Education
is difficult to be introduced to children of illiterate, uncivilized &
rowdy parents - in India we have more of them. So we should adjust our
curriculum of education differently for these pupils. It is a common find that
children of working poor people admit their children to a school but the children
while the time away instead of going to school – no parental care for schooling.
This increases the percentage of unsocial people in our society. These way-ward
pupils know the right of the child - toll free number of their school phone. As
they progress to adulthood their parents and teachers fear to guide them. It is
required but you can’t send them to corrective schools.
Unfortunately Kindergarten is still
limited to children of upper class people as structurally it follows western
style that is costing high. We should have such schools which will be available
to poorer to poorest ones as otherwise we are going to face a grim future with
illiteracy and criminality.
facilitating their education etc, are but hoaxer’s cry to gain popularity. We executed this program for illiterate adults, females, petty vendors, cultivators etc. some time past. The result was the waste of money, human hours and other resources. If we demonstrated them skillful cultivation, efficiency in cooking - use of pressure cooker, saving fuel with newly found ‘Chullah’, choosing vegetables and other food materials – or household petty industries, producing gas from dung, making different dolls, making candles etc. it would help our society a great lot. Compulsory Kindergarten to upper primary education for all children - modified to the need of Indian Customs - is the only necessity for achieving the objective of ‘Education for all’ - though it may need one decade. Aptitude and liking of a child should be assessed here and needful done. This would bring up conscious and well-behaved citizens with witty mind and mighty muscles proving efficiency in different fields of activities for Indians in future.
Starving
children in village streets and children utilized or engaged in criminal or
immoral activities in cities and towns are the pitiable scenes that resulted
from the abolition of child labor. Neither the parents nor the government is
capable of providing their bare necessities of nutrition and education. No
food, no work (engagement) no schooling what type of citizenship we would
expect from them? A brief discussion is there earlier. We ape the social
responsibility of the developed countries for their children without
recognizing our ludicrous inability to feed them even once in a day. A family
with a mother laboring in a field with a drunkard husband is usually having 2
to 4 children. Would the government providing them nutrition and
education? We ape the child care of
develop nations.
Various
governments (center, state and that too of various political parties) take
credit that they are making effort to spread education among poor children,
grown-ups and females. For this they are coaxing them with mid-day meal,
dresses, and cycles. But what are the provisions for school buildings and
teachers? More frequently teaching is taken up under shades of trees; broken
mud houses and sometimes the one-roomed residence of the Anganbadi worker – a
part-time teacher. There are no trained teachers or teaching codes and syllabus.
Frequently, ‘Anganbadi’ workers who are to look after a lot of burden on social
activities like feeding mother and new born, distributing BPL rice, helping
female saskti-karan and what not are forced to work as teachers. How can we expect
our future citizens with high morality, brilliantly brainy, physically strong
and daring in spirit?
Children
are divided into 3 categories - the sincere ones, the naughty ones and a via
media group. The naughty ones need punishment to maintain discipline in smooth
conduct of teaching curriculum and prevent tilting of via media group towards
naughtiness. One sincere elderly teacher expressed her anguish to get insulting
behavior from her students. It was because the teacher informed his parents
about his naughtiness. Frequently the
same occurs with other teachers. They are to tolerate jeering remarks from
students. Many students frequently express their naughtiness without any
provocation. It is a manifestation of sadism, natural with way-ward students.
The sad part of the story is the provision of a toll free number: of a phone
for students to complain against their teachers- the well-wishers in one’s
life, next to parents. Rare cases of inhuman roughness of a teacher, instead of
being treated according to its magnitude are blamed against all the teachers
and they are considered as villains instead of the shaper of destiny of our
future generation. Is it not going to ruin the character of our future humanity?
Further
the education of children will go to duck by abolishing examination which is
discussed infra.
Teaching
from minor school to matriculation:
A country’s progress depends on its citizens
with good character, discipline, sacrificing mentality towards his country
& colleagues. A well fortified procedure to teach and regulate their
character, behavior and other dealings in society is an absolute necessity.
Now a day’s rowdyism, mishandling,
disrespect to seniors, teachers and cheating in examination are in rise. A knife instead of an extra pen is felt a
good help to pass in examination. The compound around an examination hall turns
to a battle field between teacher and police in one side and the dishonest
students and rowdy persons, helping them, in other side. This is a serious
problem and hindrance to build morale among students. Demonstration of such
open air rowdyism especially of educated people encourages spreading of such
foul activities in our society
It is now proposed to eliminate the
system of examination in teaching curriculum. Teaching imparts knowledge in
more progressive manner than that acquired by (through) one’s own experience
only. Competition to acquire it enhances its acquisition which is ascertained
by the system of examination. To abolish it is to discourage ones zeal to
ascend high to higher level in obtaining efficiency in ones knowledge and
consciences.
By touching such an age-old system we are putting our fingers to a mega
voltage current, the resultant of which will destroy a vital aspect of
prosperity of humanity and our future generation. They will reap the dangerous
consequences.
Now there is a proposal to impart army
training to students. This is a proposal in consideration to some hostile
nations around our country. But we have to consider other aspects.
The
effect of non-penalization, lifting the examination as discussed and addition
of army training will produce a lot of crime indulged citizens with army training.
Would it not facilitate robbery, loot, arson and rebellious activities? Strict penalty and punishment is highly
necessary in military, paramilitary, police and other such trainings as it is
highly necessary for strict discipline. No teacher, the destiny makers of our
future generation, would agree on these (abolishing examination and punishment)
aspect. Any of our effort to lift punishment would be disaster for a
disciplined future generation. Any accident on this score (punishment) should
be dealt according to law.
With all these considerations it is high time
to take up new effective measures - the use of modern technology for teaching,
examining and competing in sporting activities in games. This would encourage
moral build-up of students.
(1) Use of video camera or C.C Camera in
examination : -
We know how big shops, banks etc.
use C.C Camera to catch culprits. A person enters a shop collect his
requirements and come to the counter at exit to pay. He is immediately arrested
by the gate keeper if he had malpractice – lifting an object stealthily.
Similarly if such a camera is
instituted in the hall of the examination, any untoward activities of the
examinees will be detected.
A student, when enters to his
examination hall, will find no guard. He is to take an answer paper & its
attached question paper (well sealed) and go to his seat. When all examinees
occupy their seats there will be a bell and announcement that examination
starts. The pupil will open his question paper and start answering. After
completion of the time, allotted for the examination, the student would leave
his/her answer paper and come out with his question paper only for his future
reference. For use of bath-room during examination he should proceed silently
and come back without disturbing others. Marshals would be at hand to deal any
feral activities, if occur.
The information about the rules &
regulations of the examination is supplied along with the admit cards. This
system is almost full-proof. Allegations counter allegations between examinees
and the teachers (invigilators), threat of violence against the sincere
teachers checking copies and disturbance to sincere students during examination
will be eliminated.
In case of large number of students,
examination can be conducted under a canopy in an open field. The proceeding of a game with its many thousands
of spectators can be screened and displayed audio-visually. So the proposed
open air examination is also possible with the similar gadgets for the
examination.
Practical examinations and viva-voce also
should be done under such screening. This would eliminate favoritism and undue
harassment to sincere students. And also it can assess the teacher’s ability
and sincerity in finding out the true efficiency of a student.
Now a day the cost of devices for
audiovisual recording system has been slashed drastically. But the cost of
conducting an examination in the present manner - the remuneration of
invigilators, police force, and expenses occurring on litigious out-comes is increasing
significantly and so if it is replaced with this audiovisual system, there
would be a lot of saving in cost and relief from other disturbances. More over
students, not interested in study would not venture to draw advantage from it
and so they would seek other outlets of lively-hood for their future A student
gone through this system of examination, whether pass or fail, will be a full
proof honest and disciplined citizen,
(2) Use of computers:
Computer is a marvel of modern science. It can
be used in maintaining insignificant house hold accounts to intricate programs
for inter-stellar flights. To use it in the field of education will be
beneficial beyond imagination. Teaching with computer graphics and with its
other accessories is very beneficial.
Use of computer in conducting written
examination is superb. A thousand students sitting shoulder to shoulder in rows
will be served questions in a computer screen before him but each question is
different from the other and the student answering the questions will know his
mark then and there. There would be no complaint of favoritism, nepotism,
miss-marking and would not require the labor of thousands of examiners sitting
for hours to assess the answers. The frequent human problems like change of
mental status (pleasant or sorrowful mood), careless or careful mentality etc.,
always influence the awarding of marks by the examiner in an answer paper.
Post metric education:
Losing energy in organizing and modifying system
after system, like +2(1st), +2 (2nd) and then +3(1st),
+3(2nd), +3(3rd or final) year, are but difficult to
comprehend. A student completing a course fails to know what his degree
indicates – matriculation, intermediate, graduation or P.G?
After advent of electronics and other
sophisticate subjects there is a sea change in the number and variety of
technical subjects. This has caused topsy-turvy in the present management of
administration of post-metric education and so educational institutions with
variety of useful or not-so-necessary subjects of teachings are mushrooming in
our country.
To add misery over agony many of
these teaching institutions are autonomous –granting pass out certificates in
the subjects taught there.
The ill effects due to abundance of people,
with certificates of technical proficiency, which may be fraudulent, would
deteriorate our progress in technological skill and advancement in finer
aspects of skilled knowledge.
Let us analyze a few such teaching
curriculums.
Medical education: India is quite deficient of doctors
(allopath) in proportion to its population. Now we will be in abundance of them
within coming five years (by 2018). Institution producing doctors are growing
rapidly. They are now money fetching business centers. Students will pay,
patients will pay, medicine and equipment companies will contribute, and black
money holders would pour their hoards to make their children enter to a
socially important profession to which they might not have any liking. Purchases
of land, construction of Infrastructures etc. are with loan from banks that are
quite open handed to advance loan which earn profit. The other hurdle, most
important and challenging, is official
sanction of Health
department of the State and the Medical Council of
India. A few lakhs or crores of rupees, as under hand payment, would get the sanction at
your feet.
And
what is found now?
A medical college is treated like a common educational institution. And
so a paying hospital is constructed with all the glamour to attract the rich
(paying) patients who are to pay for everything – out-door attendance, in-door
beds, drugs, surgery and all other eventualities. And a paying patient wouldn’t
allow a student to examine him as he feels it manhandling. The administration
would not allow dissatisfaction of their patients as it may lose good name and
income. Further negative point is that the teachers (doctors) recruited are
usually retired – naturally with declining vitality. Their research efficiency
or other capabilities are not considered during appointment for teaching and
hospital activities. The number of newer such institutions, mushrooming, are
far more than the availability of efficient teachers - so fraudulent temporary
appointments are very common.
To add owe to the misery there
crops-up ambiguous institutions - autonomous universities - not existed but
taken shape to help maintaining the loopholes in this system – the newly
flourishing educational foundations. These universities blatantly support such
fraudulent technical or common educational institutions. A university
certificate for MBBS or P.G degree in medicine or in other technical or other
subjects is easy to be obtained – efficiency considered secondary to bribe
affordable. And still worst is that some fraudulent medical colleges obtain
autonomous status – examining and issuing certificates on their own.
The modus operandi to start a
new medical college is to advertise for admission in to the proposed medical
college after constructing or renting some buildings. Applications start
pouring. The college office starts functioning with much pomp and show.
Teachers are recruited from among retired persons. The organizer is usually an
individual capable of handling Government officials and elected high-ups. The
college with admission to 1st year course starts. The paraphernalia
for sanction of permission to start, and get reorganized by the health
department of the state government and Medical Council of India are easy to
obtain with under-hand payment or other fraudulent activities as indicted
earlier.
One instance is sufficient to
clarify the depositions made above. Dr Ketan Desai, the President of Medical
Council of India, the top authority to grant sanction and recognition to a
medical colleges, was caught red handed when receiving bribe of two crore
rupees to give sanction and recognition to a medical college at Patiala, in
Punjab, that was virtually non-existent. Many crores of rupees must have been
collected from the aspirant or expectant students. A lot of clamor was expected
from the side of these students affected. But no agitation was there. Role of
black-money, the cause of all unethical practices, must have made the issue out
of clamor. The other black bear in CBI
net is a cabinet health Minister Mr. Ambumoni Ramdos. If high-ups take such a
huge amount as bribe what to speak of numerous authorities those who pass the
files of sanction.
A recent investigative report by ‘Aajtak’ T.V
channel on few of these private medical colleges revealed, with audio visual
evidence, about the deceptive nature and fraud involved in the affairs of
erecting medical colleges. Capitations fees up to 50 lakhs, without receipt,
indicate involvement of high-ups to the level of ministers. Is it not an
indication of catastrophe we are going to face when we are ill and in
agony?
Doctors, engineers, scientists,
technologists, and educated persons of other newer branches produced in these
propped up fraudulent institutions are but liabilities in the progress of our
country. The good name of Indians as efficient and skilful workers will soon be
tarnished in foreign countries, the places that are promising them a good
income, a bright future and help India
Another glaring example that is more than Dr.
Ketan Desai’s fraud: - A flying training school for Commercial Pilot license,
namely ‘Touch Wood Aviation’ was there at Raipur
Many institutions with all
infra-structures, air crafts, hangers and other necessities were waiting to get
sanctions from the same S.P.Saran, the D.G.C.A. for years. But fraudulent ones
are getting it then and there.
Black money, bribe, fraudulent
teaching in most such institutions is shaping a system that will retard the
progress of our country in all fields of humanities, science and technology.
And our leaders who feel themselves knowledgeable never attempt to recognize it
and take steps against it.
Engineering, Technical, Commercial & other teaching institutions:-
The author had a chance to visit the
department of marine science 1 year after it started in a university. It
consisted of 3 rooms – in one room 3 almirahas full of Books of different sizes
and few desks for students were there. The other rooms had few chairs and
figures of diving person in under water environment, some other marine
activities and equipments.
He was aghast to know that only 2 out of 10
students knew swimming that too not in a sea.
What surprised this author was the
information that the students are not accustomed to sea and the related
activities - swimming, under water diving, rowing, knowledge of stars and
light-houses for guiding direction for a mariner stranded in deep sea and many
such other things. One should understand the basic needs for such an
institution. An institution in England
And the author was surprised to
find a recently started institution of marine science in the capital of Odisha
about 40 Km from sea. There was no boat, no rowing instruments, and no
watershed to practice driving an engine of a boat which is some of the basic
needs to impart teaching on marine science. A student when asked could not say
from where he would obtain his certificate of qualification – from a university
or a board. He was blind of it.
Indian
technicians were getting service, in foreign countries But they are appointed
there as the technicians of unimportant sections. They are not allowed to deal
with sophisticated instrument or machines. They gather further knowledge and
experience on their own inquisitiveness to learn. Their sincerity made them
ascend to higher positions. The present
technicians, proud of their training which are frequently fraudulent would be
proved useless and tarnish the good name as Indians.
Electronic subjects: -
It is a matter of surprise when the
author failed to find a suitable definition of ‘electronic’ from students studying
in electronic subjects. Also they (the students) failed to obtain it from their
teachers.
A student studying computer gets mostly
theoretical knowledge. Once he is selected by a company he is assigned a job in
a particular branch and works like a machine which is meant for increasing the
volume of company’s business transaction.
Like anatomy and physiology in
medical science; knowledge in technical aspects of various basic components of
machineries; shaping and repairing different electronic gadgets should be the
preliminary teaching. There are millions of electronic, digital instruments for
daily use in every home and different institutions. A student of any branch
should be taught to diagnose the defect in such devices. A student should also
know the basic structures of instruments fitted to smaller products like
engines of a mere toy to a specialized structure like ship, aeroplane,
automobile etc. Similarly a student of electronic should know the components of
T.V, computer, wrist-watch, and any other such devices. Similar should be the
teaching curriculum in the basic aspect of other subjects.
Mechanical engineering institution should be
established in and around industrial areas. A candidate for mechanical trade
should be preferably a ground level mechanic to get extra credit during
selection for the mechanical section of an Engineering college. Direct
applicants must take basic training of working in a real activity of civil or
mechanical workshops for some time.
The earlier discussion on Rotomac ballpoint
pen and gear box for a new model of a car needs serious consideration if India
is to make any effective progress in the industrial world and international
business market. It is one of the important causes why we are still a
developing country while our colleagues who were poorer than us like Germany , Japan
Our proficiency should be assessed
from grass root level. We should find out why and where lays our inefficiency
to manufacture ink for ball point pens
or why we fail to make small implements like key-rings, nail cutters, cycle
spokes, a chain of zip and even small toys. Most of us including our top
leaders and high officials are quite indifferent or never thinking of providing
opportunity to produce these basic materials - the steel, chemicals, rubber,
plastic, and many such other things that would not only be needed for these small materials but also for highly
sophisticated instruments. Naturally we depend on foreign market for
specialized parts for cars, aeroplanes, and electronic machineries for a space
rockets.
Persons with aptitude and skill to
repair a thrown away wrist- watch or capable of designing a duplication of a
specialized machine is the grass root genius and should be searched out if we
want to achieve technical superiority in developing most advanced structures
like cryogenic engine or a deep sea submarine technology.
Genetic Engineering:
It is a relatively new subject and deals with the science of life
and living factors. Till recently life
was considered a matter that can be dealt with supreme God only. Human effort
can achieve anything and acquire any knowledge but not the life – life can’t be
created by scientists.
But now it is achieved by science. That life
is created by chemical conjugation of different elements like nitrogen,
hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. The 1st stage of creation of life is started by
combination of nitrogen with oxygen by the action of lightening. This is the
action of energy combining elements with induction of living activities. There
occurred further progress to combine carbon, hydrogen to form organic chemicals
that lead to form amino acids which shaped gene, which is not any living
creature but something with living properties. Further progress of gene
developed chromosome and subsequently the living cells. The developed cell is the unicellular ailment
which progressed to create all living beings; - the evolution of different
species of plants and animals.
The science of genetic is now capable
of recreating our deceased father or dead son. Different organs like heart
kidney, pancreas is possible to be created. Eliminating heart problems,
diabetes, cancer and what not is possible now a days. Their implications also
involve complications. But a subject with such vast areas of utility is given
least importance and the study is available as a side subject in newly started
engineering colleges (genetic engineering) instated of institutions teaching
biological subjects.
As regards Government effort to
help progress of research in this subject; it is almost a nil. This subject has
less employment potential then electronic subjects. But a vast number of people
can be employed to work on production of biological products life human organs
if sufficient well-equipped laboratories could be attached to the institutions
teaching this subject.
Suggestion to prevent fraudulence in medical
and Technical teaching in our India:
The present
process of bringing medical colleges and engineering institutions is based on
earning illegal money which is possessed by people with black assets. No efficiency, aptitude or interest of the
student is considered. The expenses for medical admission are about 60lakhs of
rupees which is possible for 5% of Indian families. So 95% of expectants
students are debarred from such essential and needful course of study. The main
purpose of these newly established institutions is never to produce quality doctors.
The suggestion is that let the
medical teaching is generalized (let there be any number of medical colleges)
but the students should pass examinations conducted by a single Board of
controller of standard of medical teaching (education) of India.
This system will provide high number
of aspirants to get admitted to medical curriculum. Those who fail to complete
the 1st medical examination will go for different bio-technology
courses. Those who fail in next non clinical course will choose nursing, and
other different teachings in physio-therapy, nature-pathy course and last
unsuccessful people would take up emergency or first-aid courses and may also
like to take up diploma course in other branches like homeopathy dentistry,
care taker training on terminally ill patients or other pathies. Homeopathy and
dentistry should have higher studies for further specialization.
This system will facilitate the people to get primary care
from trained persons with preliminary knowledge in first-aid care as was the
ones like ‘barefoot doctors’ but with far-more advanced training. There will
be more efficient doctors for our people. Also Mal-practicing doctors, the ones
who tarnish the medical profession will be eliminated.
Regarding
our technical teaching our millions of working engineers and others in teaching
and research-activities are failing to save the billions of rupees, we handover
to China for supply of dolls for our children. Our dependence on other
countries to purchase their discarded defense equipments and other high-end
hardwires shows our technical inefficiency. One example was given earlier. Recent
media report that the workers of our ship building dockyards are not getting
orders for manufacture or repair of ships is an alarming state suggesting loss
of confidence of world public on the efficiency of our technicians.

PROTECT
INDIA FROM ITS PRESENT PERIL
We
have repeatedly discussed how India is administered by its own people in
democratic principles for last 67years (by 2014). Population explosion,
poverty, unemployment, enmity
towards each other among its citizen and vengeful activities of neighboring countries, are rampant here now. Each person (especially a leader) is empowered to create new parties and can demand sectarianism in demanding new regions on grounds of language, caste and other trivial matters. Other serious problems are the non-patriotic attitude towards our own country by a sizeable number of our citizens who maintain alliance with our inimical neighbor countries. The other most serious problem, our India faces, is the criminal activities of its leaders. They are draining our public money, trying nepotism, family rule and are spoiling the morality and human character of our citizens.

The other most serious problem, our India faces, is the criminal activities of its leaders. They are draining our public money, trying nepotism, family rule and are spoiling the morality and human character of our citizens.
Hitler, Stallin and Maozedung had been blamed after their death. But their
countries made tremendous achievements during their time. Had Hitler not been
megalomaniac with obsession to rule the world and had he been with slightest
ideas of Gandhiji’s philosophy he would have been the uncrowned king of the
world. The entire world would put all
their brain and muscles at his disposal – atomic energy for human good,
interstellar flights to find other sites of human abode, life without disease etc.
would have been at the control of humanity. But Hitler became a war criminal committing
suicide with his girl friend at his laps.
Any such dictatorial leader, selected
or elected democratically, in India would save it from the disaster, it is
going to face.
Some imminent problem and their
solution:
1. Dealing with population-
Our population at our independence
was 35 crores. Now, (2014) after 67 years, it is 127 crores (about 4 times).
Land to till, animal hordes to rear, greenery to maintain, rain or water-harvesting
areas to support, amount of minerals in mines to lift and many other such
things that sustain humanity are dwindling alarmingly. In place of taking care
of 35 crores of people the government of India is now burden with 4 times of
this number. The objective of our destiny maker’s, the leaders (government or
opposition), is to provide better provisions for people without a glance for
the improvement of their mother-land. In sympathy they have increased the per
capita need of people. For example an
innocent forest dweller in his normal need for his peaceful living in pollution
free surrounding was considered unfortunate without modern man’s provisions.
And we started to provide them modern amenities. They neither got any benefit
of modern living nor their natural peaceful living in their forest atmosphere.
It resulted in wide destruction of forests leading to pollution of environment.
The pertinent question is should we not help our unprivileged poor and innocent
colleagues? A reality against a dream should be conceived.
When resources are limited and
aspirants are disproportionately high there arise vengeance and spirit of
acquiring it by force. The result is internal-strife, unrest and the
probability of an outcome of destruction. India is heading towards it.
For
this drastic steps to control birth are an immediate need. Any birth or
its probability should be recorded and dealt as per necessity – to limit the
number or help the new born grow to an efficient citizen. No ethics of caste,
creed, religion or other theism against birth control is acceptable. It is the
absolute need for survival of our country and its citizens.
Once there occurs (allowed) a
birth the child’s well-being, must be taken care of by a government body where
one of its parent remains in charge till the age of schooling.
2. Creating
employment for all:
Between 19 to 60 years of age is
the next need. The product of work of such a huge number of people is difficult
to utilize. This problem can be solved by assessing the utility of the products
inside our country or foreign countries. Craftsmanship, quality control and the
usefulness of these products in daily life should be assessed scientifically in
comparison to such products made in Germany or Japan. As internal jobs roads,
factories and bridges should be planned.
3. Life sustaining
necessities:
Agriculture,
rearing animals, plantations, industry, research and all other activities of
humanity should be in full swing so that engagement potential, productivity, increasing
of income from export and decreasing of expenditure on import would occur.
Utilization of man power, instead of machine power, should receive precedence. We
ignore our knowledge that laziness in case of able persons causes various
diseases like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cholesterlemia, heart diseases
etc. – painful living and expenditure on medical bills.
A
countries economic progress necessitates the toil of its young, able and
working citizens.
4. The Problem of Devaluation of Rupees:
At independence a dollar was 1 (one)
rupee. Now after seven decade it is about 70 (seventy) rupees. Our prime
minister is a world famous economist and he is with a horde of economic wizards to help him in
financial administration. We expected best management of our economy. But the
result is a catastrophe. They tell people that it is a temporary phenomenon in
response to fall in world economy. In reality it is a gradual fall since we got
autonomy.
Our leaders in
administration became excessively sympathetic to poor and down-trodden. They
spent most of the ways and means of our country to feed them and improve their
living (slum living or such others). Similar is the case with the ‘dalits’, (the
backward classes). These types of social sufferers were utilized in China with
compulsion and in Germany with own personal sacrifice. Now they (their poor
mass) are in buildings of ribbon development areas enjoying all facilities of
modern living.
In India we have made such people
lazy, beggarly and dependent on food security act and provisions of rice at 1
rupee a kilo. As regards our backward class only negligible few are availing
the advantages, generation after generation, to be high-up in society and are
living in town and cities far away from their suffering millions of un-developed
people who still maintain at lower strata of our society. These high-ups
utilize these innocent people to get excited and destructive whenever efforts
of modifications to these provisions are suggested.
Let us be wise and assertive and
force our leaders to take the following measures to get our coin bounce back.
The
suggestions are:
(i)
Restrict
population.
(ii)
Replace food
security and provide job security
(iii)
Consider efficiency only against reservation.
(iv)
Import least and export more
Let us look at the sky high progress
of war torn Germany, Japan and beggarly China. Analyse their success
intelligently
The world is the market of wealth. A nation
which successfully buy more of it (Wealth) is reach and prosperous.
China collects this wealth by selling
its dolls and common house-hold products.
Like India US depends on such products
of China. But USA export one Boing jet at the cost of 1 years of Chinese
import.
India exports it’s minerals, the core
wealth of a country, to China and other countries as exchange for its imports.
What will be our fate in future?
We are, till now, depend on China for
a nail-cutter or a key-ring should we believe our satellite for Mars is
indigenous.
(v)
Teach our citizens tolerance of difficulties for self and make sacrifice for their own country.
(vi)
Encourage struggle to achieve expertise in technology to
manufacture nail-cutter to war-ships with minimal dependence on foreign
countries
5. Our R &D (research and development) wing:
It is to be in full activity to
develop newer techniques, devices and ultra-modern equipments. The import of
essential materials not available in our country, secret technical know-how and
classified propositions should only be procured from other countries at any cost.
6. Doing away with
our present system of election and voting –
Electing our efficient and self less leaders
for governance is an absolute necessity but is very sensitive and
needs skilful efforts. Our experience since we achieved independence is that most
rogues in the shape of leading personalities find it an easy way to enter to
our government to practice their criminal activities. We are delighted
that we are credited as the largest democratic country in the world. We, our
destiny making leaders, have not yet realized that
ours is a defective democracy and is responsible for
deterioration in our march ahead – rather it is the cause of our downfall to a
humiliating status among the developed world.
Is
it not a matter of shame that China’s assessment on Indian administration
indicated the grim fact of corruption and scandals deteriorating India’s
progress ahead – vide their Blue book on the study of Indian affairs (2012)?
Is it not a shame to
fail to produce such document to assess ourselves?
Let us
consider our panchyati level election suggested earlier.
Why
and how our democracy proved a failure?
Let
us further expand our earlier discussions in our ‘Heritage chapter’. People above
18 years of age are only allowed to vote. There are adults and even older
people in our country who are quite innocent, harmless and in knowledge they
are to themselves only. Naturally they are vulnerable to be influenced by
people of rogue’s gallery. Also there are a high percentage of selfish people,
fortune hunters, swindlers, and under-cover people supporting enemy countries,
goons and criminals. These people are mostly fraudulent and know the art of
mesmerizing people with oratory with not a grain of sincerity to help their
fellow citizens or their mother country.
We are already bored of numerous such criminal leaders in
jails, police custody or moving scot-free as they are lucky to escape detection
or avert a detection using their chair. Most of these tainted or proved
culprits, when come out of jail or legal custody receive warm applause and they
get elected each time they stand. Does it not need our immediate attention? How
our destiny makers in past could not envisage such a probability. The disreputable
persons are now rolling in money and are in high positions in government or
party. Their riches (usually black money) may not be in our country.
It
may be in abroad or in secret vaults on their walls or under their beds. Also
they do not hesitate to keep it in the names of their friends or relatives in
our country or abroad. They know where to go or hide when caught.
The
need to select the most efficient leader, to head the Indian administration, is
to search grass root level able persons from ‘Gram sava’ or other such units of
human settlements as already discussed.
A party would be disqualified if it
doesn’t prove its presence in more than three provinces. No local or regional
parties should be allowed to have any place in governance.
Our expenditure on election is about
1 crore (70 Lakhs) for MP and 50 Lakhs for MLAs. What is the percentage of
Indian citizens, however efficient may he be, can fight in election
The next
question is why a person should spend such a huge amount (sometimes few crore)?
Would he not like to get back his expenditure and add more for future?
Only
able and efficient people are allowed in administration. No reservation of any
kind should be there. Citizens of lower level should be helped to get themselves
efficient through free education and due care to their livelihood.
THE
END
Ch-XI
MODI ERA
India got new era in 2014
in its general election. It may be called ‘Modiji’ era as it goes with Narendra
Modi, the BJP superman winning a thumping majority. His activities in his first
hundred days in office raised the eyebrows of world elites. His selection of
ministry, contact with neighbouring countries, increasing ties with USA,
Canada, Australia, Germany, England and many others, announcing programs like
Make in India, revamping Ganga cleaning, ‘swachha Barata’,
Modiji had tried to draw
the affinity of the non-resident Indians to their motherland but he failed to advice
them that their matriarch is their grandmother now and they should be sincere
to their motherland – the land which is rearing them.
But Modiji appears callus
to one of the most major problem, that is, population explosion of his country
which eats away any prospect of any achievement achieved. A brief discussion is
already there in this book.
‘Make in India’ is a
program that had been neglected from the very day of our independence. Our leaders’ then (and now also)side-tracked
it and engaged in popular activities of improving wellbeing of our poor mass
neglecting industrialization and other activities that would improve the
international status of our country as already discussed.
We have not a single
industrial product like a nail cutter, a key-ring, and a doll for our children
that are made in India. Smaller instruments like household electric meters, water
meters and most electronic gadgets are imported from China, Japan, and Korea
etc. What a pity that for manufacturing a ball-pointed pen we procure the tip
of it from Germany and ink from Japan – as per our earlier discussion.
Naturally there occur doubts on our ability in crafting the vital parts of our
cars, scooters, aero-plans and strategic weapons like tanks, guns, war-ships
and sub-marines.
If we attempt to make
common house-hold products in India now, the produce would be worth throwing in
to dustbins – a pitiable experience of anybody who procured them for his interest
in nationally. The cause might be that our leaders are ignorant or otherwise
benefitted by foreign farms or the foreign manufacturers. They are successful
in their attempt to sabotage our efforts.
It is high time to analyze
our fault and do the needful. Our
deficiency in our knowledge is that the basic ingredients like iron, steel,
plastic, rubber, electronic gadgets etc. are required to be of grades of high
precision and be able to stand the rigorous quality control. The industrial
countries achieved this precision through long toils and repeated trails. The
steel used to manufacture a shaving blade, a saw, or an axle of a tank is different
grades and with different parameters. The difference between products of China
and Germany must be considered before making such products in our India.
Coming to ‘Swachha
Bharat’ (clean India) there are multiple problems. Let us consider a few.
1.
Animal excreta and decayed living products: should be
converted to articles of value – manures, animal feed, bio-gas and other useful
products. This generated employment potential.
2.
Plastic materials: Discussed earlier but no attention is paid
or effective modification done.
3.
Exhaust from vehicles: Construction of fuel efficient
engines, elimination of defective engines and encouragement of manufacture and
use of electric vehicles should be encouraged.
4.
Rampant creation of educational institution and self
certificating opens the way for inefficient ones to come with colours.
Certificate from a central body should be mandatory to categorize the
efficiency of students completing their study.
