Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-1922)

Many nationalist leaders were planning to launch nation-wide campaign to gain independence from British while Muslim classes had other plans. The Muslims living in India were aggravated and their apprehensions about harsh treaty to be imposed on defeated Ottomon empire was fast becoming a reality. British defeated Axis powers and the Islamic Turkey was also among-st the losers.

So the Muslims started Khilafat movement. Its demand were- Turkish Khalifa Sultan must retain control over Muslim holy places and he must be left with sufficient territories to defend Islamic faith and Jaziarat-ul-Arab (Arabia, Syria, Iraq and Palestine) must remain under Muslim suzerainty. The Ali brothers (not Muhammad Ali Jinnah) led the Muslim masses and their demands for only concentrated on Khalifa! While super non-violent Gandhi mixed Khilafat and Non-Cooperation movement and asked Congress leaders to raise voice in favour of Turkey. Was the fight for Turkey or India?

Also the Muslim leaders were not at all interested in protesting against Jallianwala Bagh massacre and wanted Congress to protect Islamic interests. Hindu Mahasabha by Malvaiya was revived in 1923 and former Congress worker Hegdewar started RSS in Nagpur,1925. The general Muslim aloofness for Freedom Struggle often led to communal tensions. However many poor Hindu peasant minds got diverted towards exploitation by zamindars and British rule and were not interested in carrying communal conflict forever.

I agree that many elites with Hindu names betrayed India. But the false concept implanted by secular historians that Muslims fought for freedom is absolutely wrong. Muslims were happy with British rulers but they cannot tolerate a democratically elected Hindu. That is why they demanded Pakistan. Even today they vote for party which gives maximum Iftaar parties!

It’s a well known fact that Gandhi mixed Non cooperation movement and Khilafat movement. Muslim parties were more excited about Khilafat of Turkey than Indian independence.

Secular India

Warning for people: INDIA IS SECULAR and if you criticize it then you are Bhakt, Hindutva warrior, Sanghi and democracy hater also paid IT cell troll.

Now you have understood the rule mentioned above then let’s talk about secular India. First, we should understand what secularism is and what it implies, secular nation means government and courts won’t mess up with religion and vice versa. It also says every person is free to practice his religion and government will not interfere in it.

Now let’s look at history. Our constitution was written by Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar and he didn’t include secular word because at that time breed based reservation was part of constitution for 10 years and then in 1975, under the rule of Indira Gandhi congress proposed the India should be secular and India was lucky enough to see the good golden phase of democracy. In those golden days, every opposition leader was sent into 5 star hotels to enjoy and then Indira Gandhi added secular in constitution so constitution and from 1977 India is secular.

I an atheist like the idea of total separation of two very different things and that’s how the country progresses.

Still, in a so-called flawless system, there are some flaws in this system, so let’s talk about those little problems which easily can be removed if and IF government wishes.

Breed Based Discrimination: Do not get angry and point out to me that it is caste-based discrimination, I’m using breed word to differentiate it from caste because according to Hindu scriptures, caste is decided on the basis of work you do and this tag of your last name is with everyone from birth so it is breed. Also human is an animal, an evolved ape so a human-made religious tag is not a part of your qualifications. Also, secular nation cannot discriminate on the basis of caste, creed, and ethnicity.

Clear? Let’s move forward.

As is clear from constitution breed based reservation was for 10 years and Congress didn’t end it in 10 years but in 1975 during the golden period of democracy congress bought in secular motion in parliament and with a thumping majority it was added, but even after adding this pious word congress didn’t remove breed based reservation as congress forgot to remove it.

The party which bought in secularism in country still is hell bent on dividing people more and more on the basis of breed, example here is congress’ favourite guy from Gujarat state and he was demanding breed based reservation because Patels according to him are oppressed and people are discriminating with them, he has gotten job in Congress party and he has now a private jet at his dispense but according to him, he’s unemployed.

Congress tried it in Karnataka too with Lingayats too as they are minority and they are a sub-breed of Brahmin community and some BJP minister too supported this move but it never reached to any conclusion also SC would reject it as SC keeps reservation limited to 50%, and just so you know Brahmins are the reason this country hasn’t yet taken over the whole world and they are just 4.5% of total population but they are the reason of everything wrong in this super secular nation.

In 2019 congress won Rajasthan state elections and once again Gujjar community was on roads stopping trains and blocking roads for reservations and this time again Congress has promised that it will file the petition in SC for it. Stopping Gujjars are Meena people and they too have a reservation. Since Supreme court does not want this breed system more than 50% so SC has said no to it every time, SC has denied so Gujjar community proposed that we should get 5% reservation and that can be done by removing some % of shares of Meena community, riots followed as Meena community does not wants to lose its share and to this day this fight is on.
Also if Gujjar community is thinking of getting reservations then all other community too will want reservation, because It is fun with lesser marks and age relaxation in competition exams and that too with confirmed seats for breed one belongs to is fun, so everyone wants it. On some pages, bhim army posts an image of food with percentage share showing reservation to every breed and often demand comes up to increase the percentage of their reservations.

A riot took place when Supreme Court wanted to remove a rule of jailing anyone if any person from SC/ST breed alleges that anyone has insulted him/her in any way and then leader of Congress party tweeted that it was done by BJP so now general breed will insult people from lower breed, and this lead to a riot. I do not need to remind you, people, what ruckus it was and what horrible condition was in some BJP ruled states only, surprising thing is none of the riots took place in congress ruled states and because of this tweet and riot it followed resulted in loss of 40,000 Crores with beautiful damages done by BHIM Army. To overturn Supreme Court’s ruling Modi government bought in motion in parliament to overturn SC’s rule and to this day anyone can be jailed if a person from SC/ST breed alleges that anyone insulted the concerned person.

This can be solved if all the parties meet and agree that a creamy layer should be added in SC/ST breed based group but no one wants to risk votes and riots would be disastrous again so no party wants to risk it until all the parties agree with it and a motion is passed in parliament.

A good decision was taken by the Modi government at the end of 2018 that poor people from general breed too should get reservation and this bill too was passed in both the houses. After this bill was passed, Tehseen poonawalla spokesperson of secular Congress party ran to Supreme Court with petition that this law is wrong and will reduce numbers of seats of reserved breed but SC rejected it. Media too tried spinning it by saying it is to lower numbers from reserved breed seats but then again if we question secular media then our democracy and secular fabric would be in danger.

Economical basis should be part of reservation but no politician would want to risk its votes so no one is talking about numbers of families from reserved category which have taken advantage of it and as far as I know no government has numbers of it. I have one solution to make India a secular nation a creamy layer should be added in SC/ST reservation system cause after 70+ years we see some families are taking advantage of it and in 3rd generation some families are enjoying breed based reservation but many poor people from SC/ST breed haven’t yet taken any seats or jobs through reservation, families taking advantage generation after generation isn’t poor or backward so our government and Supreme Court must think about it. I know some politicians might raise their voice against this decision but we also should ask the government for numbers of families which have taken advantage of breed based reservation so we can add those families in the creamy layer at the very least so in some decades or centuries India can be secular without breed based reservation/discrimination.

Blasphemy Law: Yup the lovely 295 A of IPC is blasphemy law and it says that one can’t disrespect any religion in any way whatsoever and if anyone does this, that person can be jailed. An atheist Abhijeet Iyar Mitra spent 45 days in jail because he made fun of religion and then when the government intervened he was out of jail. Funny thing is people can believe any stupid thing like we have flat earth believers, evolution deniers, No religion has ever said anything about vaccination so religion too says vaccination is not necessary. And if we a secular nation can’t make fun of religion then it seriously poses a question on our secular nation and just so you know Pakistan too has blasphemy laws and their apostates are executed according to sharia rule but then again India is secular and we cannot question these absurd laws.

Sharia Courts: AIMPLB has currently established 50 sharia courts and plans to open 655 more so sharia courts can be in every district of India.

Currently, sharia court says that they’d just handle disputes in marriage but what if sharia courts decide punishment according to rules of sharia like beheading apostates, throwing homosexuals from height and punishing adulterers where females would be buried till neck and would be stoned till she dies. In the case of males, males would be buried till neck and then would be stoned till they die so how can a secular nation allow this kind of execution is a question no one wants to answer.

But again these killings would be secular killings and secular nation also allows religious freedom so you can’t question these killing.

Messing with religion: A temple in Kerala named Sabarimala temple where females from age 16-50 aren’t allowed as God Ayyappa swore Brahmacharya so females weren’t allowed inside the temple, then in 2018 communist government just for this discrimination against females went to Supreme Court against this discrimination and Supreme Court allowed entry of women inside the temple. After this decision Hindu devotees got angry and protested against the government that temple can/should be spared but India is secular so CPI-M put 100s of protesters in jail because equality for women is necessary for a secular nation. Talking about the temple of ayyappa my friend from Kerala told me that there are other temples of God Ayyapa but no one knows why women wanted to enter this temple in particular and when just praying to god ayyapa is the goal then females can go to other temples too where women are allowed. But then again, no one can question feminist movement. Talking about discrimination against females one mosque named Vavar mosque near Sabarimala temple too doesn’t let women enter females so 3 women tried entering that temple and they were held by police because that mosque does not allow women and India is secular so the government had to arrest those females.

Secular Media: When a tragedy struck our army personnel in Pulwama, Kashmir our 40 CRPF personnel were martyred in that attack but our media and caravan in particular just wrote an article saying all the martyred were from lower caste of Hinduism but none of the leaders and secularists pointed fingers cause this is secular media and it works on basis of caste.

A Hindu boy Ankit was killed by a Muslim girl’s family, whom he was in relation with since such inter-religious relationship is prohibited under sharia rule. But none of our secular media discussed anything about it. For media this news was swept under the rug because social harmony is important in India and to this day this murder is alleged. Imagine the outrage with all their favourite tags like Hindu and bhagwa terror, intolerant India, had the case been reverse. But this is religious freedom.

Fear Mongering: “If Modi came back again in 2019 then this country would be broken and this country will be finished” -Arvind Kejriwal. “If BJP got the majority in LS and RS then India will become Hindu-Pakistan as secular word will be removed”- Shashi Tharoor and Mr. Shashi keeps repeating these words again and again, in Jaipur Literature Festival he said the same thing. These people are just making people scared as these people want everyone to fear from the current government. India has supreme court and removal of secularism is not an easy task but then again we cannot question our secular politicians because then democracy and secular fabric will be in danger.

One particular scam ever leaders agree with is chit fund scam of Kolkata and Rahul Gandhi too believes this is a scam but when under Modi government CBI official were sent to Kolkata to arrest the accused people and officials, in place of accused officials CBI official were arrested in Kolkata because CBI if we believe opposition parties, CBI wasn’t doing its duty and CBI was acting on the orders of Mr. Modi and this is why Chandrababu Naidu too blocked CBI too because this is Modi’s way to destroy our each and every government associated institutes, arresting CBI officials is totally fine because INDIA IS SECULAR.

Taxes on religious institutions: I’m an atheist and like the idea of taking tax from religious institution but sparing mosque and churches is a question which would again kill democracy and secular fabric would come in danger if the government decides to do it, maybe every party will have to meet and decide it in LS and RS because secular nation cannot collect tax money from religious institutions but in India taxes are collected rightfully from temples and mosque and churches are spared because INDIA IS SECULAR.

Taxes from politicians: Rahul showed his kurta with torn pocket and came in 3 cars worth 1.5 crore each to change 4000 rupees from bank during Demonetization with personal security, he and his mother has to pay a billion rupees income tax but according to Rahul, he’s poor. Akhilesh yadav and his wife both are poor. Ms. Mayawati too has earned from her farming business but she too is poor, only question is our Indian army pay taxes, temples pay taxes but why our politicians don’t pay taxes? This is not a law under so called secularism of India but asking this question will put our democracy in danger and our India will again be broken. In every other secular nation politicians pay taxes but in India getting into politics is a business and one can have unaccounted money but no politician will ever pay tax, because INDIA IS SECULAR.

The Three-Language Policy of NEP is good for the country

The feature that outraged the southern political parties (specially in Tamil Nadu) from the draft National Education Policy (NEP) of the Centre was the three-language policy, in all schools, at state level and Hindi to be compulsory in southern states. As far as Andhra Pradesh (united) is concerned, this three language formula with Hindi as second language has been existing for half-a-century or more. There was no strident opposition at any point of time and the people of Andhra Pradesh had been the beneficiaries of learning the national language. Though their spoken Hindi is somewhat accented with the regional slant, they almost perfected the art of reading and writing to a great extent.

How the regional parties play a parochial role:

Late Shri NT Rama Rao (NTR) ever since he established his party – Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in 1982, he had been harping on only one string i.e. the Telugu Pride. Of course, that touched the chord of Telugu people then, as the Telugus were taken for granted by the Congress party that ruled the state uninterruptedly all the while. The Late CM -NT Rama Rao, after coming to power for the first time, downgraded the Hindi language in school education and curriculum to give an edge for the regional language-Telugu over Hindi. For the state Board Examinations, the pass mark for Hindi was 35% (that was the cut off mark for all subjects) before NT Rama Rao took over the office. It was reduced to 20% with reduction of syllabus and hours of teaching by him. He did not leave the issue there, he also gave a policy change that Hindi Marks should not be added to the aggregate marks while totaling to award the class: first, second or third for those that pass the Board Examinations for a certificate.

So, therefore, reading Hindi became a tokenism and consequently there was a huge fall of Hindi teachers in schools. A kind of disillusionment for those who studied Hindi to get jobs in the state! This all to say, people are be-fooled in the name of regional pride. When education comes under concurrent list, when most of the elite (that includes politicians and their children) opt for ICSE or CBSE school-education (Centre-supported Boards) to their wards, where Hindi is one of the languages to be learnt, why depriving those in the state-run schools?

Necessity of Hindi :- Unlike in Japan where they have one-Japanese language, similarly in Germany- German, Russia- Russian, there is no one language to name with in India. Here, in India, one can have as many languages as his own i.e. multilingualism. Language and culture are intertwined. Culture is a part of language. If you learn your mother tongue, that means you are learning your culture. Sanskrit is the “source-language” for almost all Indian languages; more so for Hindi. Learning Hindi as second language (first being the child’s mother- tongue/state language) benefits a child for having learnt a link- language within India and partly outside India i.e. in other countries also.

Difficulties in other countries for Indians:-

There are Indians in the UK, USA, Australia and other parts of the world who complain that they have no common Indian language to speak to with each other than English in those countries. For instance, if a Telugu person meets a Maharashtrian, Tamilian, Kannadiga, Oriya or Malayalee what’s the common language to speak to? Nothing. So, they take refuge in English. Whereas a Hindi-speaking person wouldn’t face that problem. He is better off than a southerner, for there are many Hindi- speaking states, even for those who are outside India they could talk to their fellow Indians in their mother tongue Hindi.

National identity should take over regional pride:-

For the sake of national identity, regional pride has to be reined-in (to an extent). As far as people are concerned, even for the staunch Tamilians, they have no grouse against Hindi. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be seeing Hindi movies and Hindi serials on TV so fondly and talking about those actors in it. The politicians of the respective states wouldn’t allow the people to have their say. The politicians of the South blindly think that the anti-Hindi movement that they started somewhere in 1930s has still resonance with. Undoubtedly, they are trying hard to whip up passion presently, as it’s an emotive issue.

Incentivising of Language- learning is needed:- Any step should be an incremental one rather than a sudden drastic policy. In Andhra Pradesh, most of the people are educated in Hindi because of the yeoman service rendered by the ‘Dakshin Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha’ established during the freedom movement to unify the people of this land. The courses that the Prachar Sabha conducts are attended by students mostly in the evenings. The certificates it awards to students after the courses of Prathama, Madhyamika, Rastrabhasha, Pravesha etc. are earnestly received by students and are flaunted as achievements to others. Such Hindi Prachar Sabha have to be established all over in South India. In A.P the Hindi Prachar Sabha would run its course in every district and taluk. These bodies have to be flooded with funds. Those who pass in them in flying colours should be appointed as teachers to teach some more students. Or else, their degrees should be monetarily incentivised.

For those who pass Pradhamika course, they should not only be awarded a certificate but also some amount of cash award, say: one or two thousand rupees. That way, many poor children would join for want of money or knowledge (as language provides profound thought). Even in central government jobs, those from South India who have the knowledge of Hindi and have certificates to that effect should get additionally, 5-marks or points more than the other candidates. The government of the day, should create a conducive environment before implementing any policy. Top-down measures would not work, bottom-up approach is the need of the hour in this sensitive issue of language-policy.

Finally, comparing Hindi vis a vis English (as English is difficult to learn compared to Hindi etc.) is an unnecessary controversy. For, English is no more a foreign language in India and it’s the second official language of the country.

Fake news on Modi 2.0 cabinet caste composition

Fake news on Modi 2.0 cabinet caste composition

There has been a much circulated tweet alleging that 50% of the Modi cabinet was Brahmin. The tweet seems to have originated from one Obed Manwatkar who claims to be a [sic] “A Research Scholar (PhD) in subaltern debrahmanized Liberation Theology” based in Chicago.This was followed up by one Neeta Kolhatkar who tweeted verbatim the same “analysis” of the Modi cabinet’s caste composition. This was further endorsed by Raju Narisetti, a veteran journalist currently associated with Columbia University. When, one looked more closely at the actual composition of the cabinet, it appeared that no more than 7 members were Brahmins.

However, Times of India has in a separate article suggested that the Cabinet has 9 Brahmins. This in turn seems to have been picked up by the BBC.

In summary, all of them are attempting to exaggerate the presence of Brahmins in the Cabinet in order to demonise the community. Ala, the Nazis exaggerating the influence of Jews in society. When their lies were called out, both Narisetti and Kolhatkar responded in a manner that one has come to expect from Indian journalists who are against the incumbent government- ad hominem attacks and silence.

Kerala and BJP – the 2019 story

Kerala and BJP – the 2019 story

Among the 58 ministers of the new Narendra Modi government, there is 1 representative from Kerala. I think that is one too many and Modi is being too generous to a state that has decisively voted against him by electing all 20 MPs from the opposition parties. That I am disappointed is an understatement. Like almost everyone, I too believed BJP would open its account this time in Kerala. In fact I believed they would win at least 2 seats from the state. In the end, not only did the party not win anything, party candidates came 3rd in every constituency except Thiruvananthapuram.

So, what happened? How did we end up here despite the state yearning for a change and the political climate being ripe for the lotus to bloom? There are many narratives going around; many reasons being offered. But for me the only reliable story is the one narrated by the numbers. So I looked at the votes polled for each of the 3 alliances in each constituency in the state- NDA headed by BJP, Congress-led UDF and Communist LDF.

Vote % of each alliance in different PCs (Parliamentary Constituencies) of Kerala after 2016 assembly and 2019 Lok Sabha elections. For the 2016 data, votes obtained in each AC (assembly constituency) under a PC were combined to calculate the %. Yellow colored cells in the 2019 columns indicate the actual winner in that constituency and those for the 2016 columns indicate the probable winner going by the vote%. Data obtained from Election Commission of India results website.

Even a cursory reading of the data makes it very clear that there was a very strong anti-LDF wave throughout the state. They lost a significant % of their 2016 vote share in every single constituency in the state. The anti-wave was so strong that they lost by very large margins even in their traditional strongholds like Kannur (-8%), Alathur (-9%), Kollam (-15%) and Palakkad (-5%).  

The state’s electorate was so determined to punish the LDF that they ensured all the anti-LDF votes went to the party that was best placed to beat them, which in most of the state was UDF. In the bargain, BJP failed to reap the dividends of the sacrifices and hard work they put in during the Sabarimala agitation despite being the most ardent defenders of devotees’ rights.  

But in some constituencies where the BJP was deemed strong enough to challenge LDF, there was a very appreciable increase in the party’s vote share. In some of these constituencies, the LDF votes transferred en masse to BJP; like in Pathanamthitta (+10%) or Attingal (+7%). And in some other constituencies, they had to split the spoils with the UDF; like in Thrissur (+8.6% of LDF’s -14%) or Palakkad (+2% of LDF’s +5%) or Thiruvananthapuram (4% of LDF’s -12.6%). In almost all constituencies where BJP’s vote share saw a significant increase, the party had a low starting base, of about only 18%, as recently as 2016. This meant that the vote transfer was not big enough to ensure a victory.  

But the result in Thiruvananthapuram was an anomaly. Here BJP had a base of about 27% in 2016 and had come as close to victory as 15000 votes in 2014. Yet, the party not only didn’t win here but the margin of defeat increased to about 100,000 votes. There could be several reasons one can speculate on for this result.

  • After the events at Sabarimala, the Nair Service Society (NSS) vowed to defeat the LDF at any cost and, as per media reports, decided to support the best possible candidate that could help them accomplish this. Pursuant to that, it is possible that NSS considered Shashi Tharoor a better candidate than Kummanam Rajasekharan on that measure.
  • Another reason could be the massive consolidation of Christian and Muslim votes in favour of UDF seen across the state. In 2014, the only reason Tharoor survived was due to the consolidation of votes from these communities.
  • Wherever the BJP is strong in the state, LDF and UDF are known to collaborate and transfer their votes en masse to whoever is best positioned to defeat BJP. They had already done this against Kummanam in 2016 assembly election in Vattiyoorkavu constituency, as admitted later by the winning UDF candidate K Muralidharan.
  • A sabotage from inside is something that I don’t want to believe but is quite possible. The state BJP unit is known to be plagued by internal power struggle which on several occasions in the past had resulted in self-destructive outcomes.

  So, what is the way forward for BJP in Kerala? Is the state just insurmountable for the party? I don’t think so. In fact, I believe the results of 2019 election show that the party is now in a better position to mount a challenge to replace LDF as the 2nd pole in state politics. What these elections have shown is that the Hindu vote base of the LDF can be taken away if the conditions are appropriate. Because non-Hindu minorities are the main base of UDF, BJP is the natural home for these migrating LDF voters. However, these elections have also shown that before something like that can happen, BJP has to get its act together and start acting like a potential winner. Most importantly, they have to get their strategy and the leadership faces for the state right.

The current state leadership of BJP comes across as though they aren’t serious about defeating the LDF. They come across as jaded and give an impression that, having given up the fight, they are prepared to make “adjustments” with the opponents for personal gain. Worse, they just don’t seem capable of burying their personal ambitions and animosities for the larger good of the party and the people of Kerala.

There is a lesson for Kerala BJP leaders from Smriti Irani’s victory in Amethi. Voters like politicians who stick with them and stand by them and work for them despite a defeat. They don’t like those who run away in search of a safe seats at the first inkling of a defeat. There are too many ‘leaders’ in Kerala BJP who have not bothered to or were not allowed to nurture a constituency.

Take Sobha Surendran for example. She contested 2014 LS elections from Palakkad PC and came 3rd with about 15% votes. She then settled there and nurtured the constituency. In 2016 VS elections, she contested from Palakkad AC and came 2nd increasing the vote % to almost 30%. But come 2019 LS elections, she was packed off to Attingal PC far away from Palakkad. Despite that, she ran an excellent campaign and secured a 7% increase in BJP’s vote share. The right thing now would be to allow her to settle here, nurture an AC within Attingal PC and contest from there in the next VS elections in 2021.

Similarly, all the candidates who performed well in 2019 should contest from an AC within their respective PCs in 2021. This I think will increase the probability of greater BJP representation in the Assembly.

There is going to be byelections to at least 5 assembly constituencies in the state very soon and in 3 of these constituencies, BJP is capable of winning. In Vattiyoorkavu, Kummanam was a very close 2nd in 2016. In Manjeswar (Kasargod PC), K Surendran lost by less than 100 votes. Konni AC, which will fall vacant after Adoor Prakash became an MP, falls in the Pathanamthitta PC where BJP had the highest vote % gain in the state at 10%. If the party plays its cards right and doesn’t mess up candidate selection (one can always hope), the total NDA members in the Assembly could go up to 4-5 before the end of the year.

And that would be the perfect launchpad for a more assertive campaign in 2021 to take over the LDF’s vote base.

कैपिटल गेन्स से सम्बन्धित वरिष्ठों की पीड़ा

मोदीजी बहुमत हासिल कर सत्ता वापसी की है इसलिये उन्हें ढेरों बधाई व शुभकामनायें। उन्होंने जनता को समस्याओं से सरकार को अवगत कराते रहने को कहा है।

वरिष्ठों से सम्बन्धित समस्याओं का निदान आवश्यक है। वरिष्ठ नागरिकों से सम्बन्धित [अनेक मुद्दों में से] एक मुख्य मुद्दा कैपिटल गेन्स से सम्बन्धित है। उसको पूरे तथ्यों के साथ सरकार के विचारर्णाथ पेश कर रहा हूँ ताकि सरकार आने वाले बजट से पूर्व चर्चा में, इन पर कैसे राहत प्रदान की जा सकती है, उन बिन्दुओं पर विचार कर आवश्यक कदम उठा सके।

आपके ध्याननार्थ अपने देश में वरिष्ठों की बडी संख्या तो असंगठित क्षेत्र से हैं जहाँ उन्हें पेंशन का लाभ नहीं हैं इसलिये ही उन्हें यह बहुत ज्यादा पीड़ादायक लगती है। मेरे सुझाव अनुसार शेयरों पर कैपिटल गेन्स यानि LTCG वाले मामले में राजस्व में बढ़ोत्तरी होगी साथ में सही मायने में Senior Aged Small Stock Investors को उचित राहत भी मिल जायेगी। मैं अपेक्षा करता हूँ कि सरकार वरिष्ठ नागरिकों की परेशानियों को ध्यान में रख, सहानुभूतिपूर्वक विचार कर उचित कदम उठा, राहत दे देगी|

कैपिटल गेन्स से सम्बन्धित:-

जैसा आप जानते हैं गत बार प्रायोगिक तौर पर यानि 2018-19 वाले बजट में LTCG को टैक्स मुक्त से हटा कर दायरे में डाला है जो हमारे जैसे छोटे वरिष्ठ शेयरधारकों के लिये किसी भी प्रकार से उचित नहीं है। आपकी जानकारी के लिये हम लोगों ने हमेशा अपने सभी कर चुकाने के बाद वाले बचत को तीन कारणों से शेयरों में लगाया। वे कारण हैं-

१) आप सभी सरकारें कहिये या बाकी सभी (Experts) यही सन्देश देते रहे हैं कि Share निवेश का मतलब है अप्रत्यक्ष रुप से राष्ट्र निर्माण में सहयोग इसलिये गोल्ड या भूमि में निवेश का सोचा ही नहीं।

२) चूकिं हममें से जो भी गैरसरकारी संस्थानों में नौकरी कर बचत करते थे तो उद्देश्य यही रहता कि हमें पेन्शन तो मिलनी नहीं है अतः हमारे बुढापे के लिये शेयर निवेश सब हिसाब से लाभप्रद रहेगा साथ में पहला point (उपर उल्लेखित) भी fulfill होता रहेगा और आने वाले समय में हमें हमारी आवश्यकता की पूर्ति इस शेयर निवेश से होती रहेगी इसका विश्वास भी था।

३) सोच समझकर शेयरों मेंं किया गया निवेश जोखिम मुक्त माना जाता रहा है साथ ही साथ आसानी से कर सकने वाला भी। इसके अलावा सभी पूर्ववर्ती सरकारों नें शेयर निवेश को बढावा देने के लिये लगातार न केवल प्रोत्साहित करते रहे थे बल्कि इस बात का हमेशा ध्यान रखा कि इसमें गिरावट न हो और इसलिये ही अपने अपने तरीके से (Cost Inflation Index लागू करना) हमेशा सकारात्मक कदम को बढ़ावा देते रहे।

आज ५०/६० साल तक निवेशित रहने के बाद यानि समय समय पर अपनी अपनी कमाई अनुसार टैक्स चुकाने के बाद जो भी बचत शेयरों में लगायी, यह जानते हुये कि इन में से कुछ में बहुत हानि भी हो सकती है और जो समय समय पर परिलक्षित भी हुयी। अब बडी मुश्किल से बाकी बचे शेयरों पर जो भी लाभ मिलने की उम्मीद है वह लाभ वापस टैक्स दायरे में आया तो मन में चोट लगी है, ग्लानि भी हुयी है और साथ साथ कष्ट भी पहुँचा है।

इसलिये लिखना यही है कि सरकार इस पर पुनर्विचार करे। सरकार चाहे तो Free LTCG के लिये Holding period एक साल से बढ़ा कर दो साल कर दे, न हो तो तीन साल कर दे। सरकार पाँच साल भी करती है तो वो इतना कष्टदायी नहीं होगा क्योंकि हमारी सोच कभी भी न तो सट्टाबाजी की रही है, न ही मुनाफाखोरी वगैरह की बल्कि बहुत गहन अध्ययन व आपसी सलाह, चिन्तन मनन पश्चात निवेश करते आये हैं।

वित्तमन्त्री का उपरोक्त विषय पर मत/साक्षात्कार बजट प्रस्तुत पश्चात अनेक चैनलों पर प्रसारित हुआ था और उसी विषय पर रजत शर्मा जी ने India TV पर भी बजट पश्चात उनका साक्षात्कार प्रसारित किया था। सभी चैनलों पर प्रसारित तो सुना ही, साथ साथ India TV वाला भी सुना, समझा और उन सभी पर गहन चिन्तन मनन भी किया। हम उनकी यानि वित्तमन्त्री की सोच का पूरा समर्थन करते हैं इसलिये ही आग्रह है कि वे Senior Aged Stock Investors’ की चिन्ताओं का ध्यान रखते हुये इस पर इस बार बजट में इस वर्ग द्वारा सुझाये गये सुझावों पर अवश्य ध्यान देकर राहत प्रदान करें।

आपके ध्याननार्थ बता दें कि सुझाया गया सुझाव है- Free LTCG का Holding period संशोधित कर दें या Senior Aged Small Stock Investors को इस प्रस्ताव से बाहर कर दें। यदि सरकार हमारे आग्रह अनुसार Holding period संशोधित करती है तो LTCG 1095 दिन से ज्यादा निवेशित शेयरों पर ही मिलेगा यानी 1095 दिन तक वाले निवेशित शेयर STCG श्रेणी में आ जायेंगे फलतः चालू system में domestic क्षेत्र से LTCG में जो भी राजस्व Senior Aged Stock investors से मिलेगा उससे ज्यादा या तो संशोधित करने पर STCG से ही मिल जायेगा या वह इतना नगण्य होगा जिसे सुधार कर देने से विशेष नुकसान तो होगा ही नहीं बल्कि Senior Aged Small Stock Investors वर्ग की सहनुभूति मिलेगी और आर्थिक सुधार वाली ब्यवस्था भी यथावत रह पायेगी।

हमारे तथ्यों की पुष्टि कई बार अनेक टेलीविजन परिचर्चाओं में आर्थिक पत्रकारों ने भी की है जब उन्होंने अपनी गणना अनुसार कहा कि इस टैक्स से बहुत ज्यादा राजस्व की प्राप्ति नहीं होगी या यों कहिये आशानुरूप राजस्व संग्रह होना कठिन है। आशा ही नहीं बल्कि विश्वास है कि सरकार आवश्यक सुधारात्मक कदम उठा हम वरिष्ठ नागरिकों को उपरोक्त विषय में राहत दे देगी।

The Cabinet 2.0 : Reality, despairs and hopes

The Cabinet 2.0 : Reality, despairs and hopes

Shri. Narendra Modi sworn in as PM for 2nd time, in many ways it was a historic event. The level of curiosity and eagerness for predictions of probable ministry of Modi 2.0, was same as predicting A Game of Thrones plot. There were many expected faces to regain their ministries, but the result wasn’t the same. Yep, its Narendra Damodardas Modi, if you learn’t something in last 5 years – he surprises! Whether its issue of demonetization or the Surgical Strikes, he will surprise, it’s for sure. So he surprised again, some for good, some for not so good!

Its nothing new, Modi works in his own ways. He warned on 25th in the Parliamentary Board Meet, not to expect ministry by the media reports (same as he said in Aap ki Adalat in 2014 before becoming PM, “Pakistan will be taught in its own language”), so you really can’t blame Modi for not informing before. The induction of a retired foreign secretary out of no where and picking up a common man from a village of Odissa and giving him the charge, made a belief stronger, that yes, the culture which was setup in 2014, giving recognition to the contribution from a common citizens by awarding them the top Civilian Honors- The Padma Awards, is being extended to the ministry. Return of top performers like Rail and Transport Ministers also reinstated the faith – “If you work,then you minister!”

However,there were many outcomes which lead to displeasure from many sections of society, which of course gave bumper seats to Modi, not BJP. Exclusion of ministers like Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore and Suresh Prabhu and even Manoj Sinha created a wave of despair in their supporters and from the people who saw reforms under them. Manoj Sinha was expected to be eliminated since he lost elections, but his work in Ghazipur constituency is hailed by the people of this area and eastern UP, at least on social media. But, a losing minister Hardeep Pure was again trusted with the responsibilities.

Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore was a top performing minister given various portfolios, and by the various social media analysts, he may get an important responsibility of Rajasthan. Suresh Prabhu, the man who invented the ‘tweet and help’ culture is distanced to please Shiv Sena as per media reports. Again, the reports of Sushma Swaraj being inducted into ministry since the morning of 30th May, should be credited to rumor mongering by the MSM, which PM warned in the parliamentary board meet. However, its for sure these people will be missed (fingers crossed for cabinet expansion). But, sometimes its better to pass the baton to revive the spirit of democracy.

It’s also important to point out, the North East didn’t get enough representation in the ministry. It’s the region,which had high hopes from BJP, that it even forgot its distrust on the issues of shady implementation of NRC and introduction of CAB. It not only gave majority to the party in the region, based on its development work,but even helped to find its existence outside the Hindi heartland. Giving only two MoS to region, and that too only one MoS to Assam,is kind of disrespecting the mandate. Yes, there maybe reason of “ministry on merit”, but it’s also true that not all Ministers are based on merit, but some are to please certain sections of society, so why not please the North-East? Even the DONER ministry to non- Northeast MP cannot be justified, when the Minority Welfare Ministry is permanently fixed to a person from Non-Hindu or Muslim community.

Yes, it can always be said that 303 was given to Modi to work, he must give back, however he does, it doesn’t matter. So, whether there will be accomplishments or failures, only Modi will be responsible, because it’s the mandate for Modi.

Entitlement of dynast over India – Why congress party follow beehive model politics

Entitlement of dynast over India – Why congress party follow beehive model politics

It looks like the congress party of the dynast would be the last political party on earth to learn its lessons from repeated defeats. Congress party is the ultimate proof for how arrogance and entitlement can forbid the party to learn new lessons.

Empowering people by lifting the quality of their life through variety of schemes like cooking gas connection, building toilets, electrification, drinking water supply, integrating the poor into the banking sector by opening bank accounts to them, proving health insurance, direct transfer of benefits to the account of the poor, Mudra loan to start small to micro level employment to self and others etc., were some of the initiatives Modi has done in the last 5 years. Besides that Modi also ensured that meritorious people should not be neglected because of their upper caste tag and thereby made sab ka and vikas too sab ka sath. At last the politics of empowerment and development has won and indeed with sab ka vishwas.

On the other hand the politics of the dynast is filled with sycophancy, entitlement, nepotism, punkah coolie culture, worshiping one family, corruption, divisiveness, minority appeasement etc.  But even after the indescribable defeat of the congress party under its able leadership of the dynast who believes he is the born Prime Minister candidate of India, the party wants the dynast to lead them and they fear without the dynast the party may disappear.

Look at the beehive. The beehive is all about queen bee. Queen bee produce eggs and the worker and soldier bees guard, nurse and forage the hive. The soldiers and workers don’t know anything other than serving the queen in the hive and hence cannot live without the queen. Today it looks like without the Gandhi family, congress men cannot exist because the party belongs to the family and family is only feeding and engaging them. Once the family goes away from the party (hive), what else all these bees do?

Many journalists who were sycophants and servants of the dynast failed to recognize the transformation Modi has brought in the life of millions and millions of people. Instead of seeing the life of millions and millions of people who got transformed by the good governance of Modi and were bubbling with gratitude and love for Modi, the sycophants of the dynast and tukde tukde gangs were mostly engaged in abusing Modi and somehow they want Indians to vote them to stop Modi coming back to power.

The saddest part of the whole episode is that the dynast has not yet learned his lesson and no wonder why TIME magazine has correctly described the dynast as UNTEACHABLE. Even after such defeat the dynast is advising his members to make more noise and furry against the government.  So much of noise pollution the dynast has made but people have rejected but what indirectly the dynast wants is disruption of the parliament and Rajya Sabha sessions. It means the dynast and congress again want to go back to the same old divisive and negative politics.

For the congress party, dynast is necessary and without the family they cannot survive in Indian politics.

When Modi is starting his second innings to serve India, the congress party is continuing its duty of worshiping the dynast and his family. India needs a leader who serve India and not one family and that is why Modi has been elected by people.   

The avatar of Ram and Krishna were also to punish the demons and evil forces. Similarly Modi must ensure speedy disposal of all corruption cases and punishment to all those corrupt politicians who looted India during congress regime.

Performance, servitude, dharma, honesty and truth, corruption free governance, governance free of nepotism, structured reforms to end corruption, sab ka vikas, recognition to merit and talent, national security etc., were the primary, secondary and tertiary focus of Modi. Governance and development  and not playing politics was the achievement of Modi whereas the party of dynast and other tukde tukde gangs fully devoted their attention and focus on spreading negativity, hate politics, minority appeasement, fear mongering, promoting dynasty, nepotism and corruption.

Dharma, truth and honesty won at last. The most painful fact is that still congress party wants to follow the politics of entitlement and not empowering politics. All congress men wants is either be a nestling or a fledgling in the congress nest to be fed and nursed by the dynast and his family. The point of irony is that none of the nestling or fledgling netas of congress party even wants to grow further and instead they wants to be in the nest praising and pleasing the dynast and his family.

Modi has transformed India and the new Indian should function in near future as one country, one tax, one law and one neta- Modi. Let us work towards such India in near future.

Congress shows double standard on TV ban

Congress shows double standard on TV ban

In the midst of the political parties’ ban on its spokespersons from TV appearance, the Congress party has also imposed ban but for Kerala. It said there was no ban upon the state party leaders from appearing for television debates in the far southern state. The party High Command told state party chief Mullapally Ramachandran and leader of opposition in the state assembly Ramesh Chennithala, the ban did not apply for the southern state. It gave us the plain impression that the ban was effected where Rahul Gandhi had badly faced electoral defeats and left the one state where his party gained as many as 15 seats. He himself emerged victorious by a record number of votes from Wayanad constituency in Kerala.

That was why he did not ban television appearances there. The Congress party’s hugely popular faces like Rajmohan Unnithan on TV debates also gained victory from Kasargode LS seat there. What remained worse for the Congress party in other states turned out better for the party in the south? The party leaders explained the gag as a temporary measure to secure time for resolving various problems troubling them. Does it not reflect the Party’s double standard? Having a satisfying political verve in the face of the electoral debacles at the parliamentary elections, it becomes quite challenging for not only the Congress party but also for the Samajwadi Party to pull out its spokespersons from the usual television debates.

In such taxing times, managing political debates on various television news channels appeared a tough task for the parties. That’s why there was effected total disdain for sharing into loud TV debates. Both the political parties had withdrawn its official spokesperson from the television talk. It was quite clearly stated from the Congress party national spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala that no party leaders should appear on TV debates for a month. However, the Samajwadi party’s stand was also directed like that. The party spokespersons merely fend off the weight during the course of the discussion.

Their brain constantly captures the points and anticipating the answers they register their active participation into the noisy debates. Over the past several years the BJP has picked up some particular tricks that help its spokespersons overpowering the opposition parties’ spokespersons in the allotted time. It was common on the part of every spokesperson to let time slip by without finding moments to connect with the topic of discussion. The anchor demands the views exactly related to the topic while the party spokespersons find it hard to balance their brainpower in a little bit easier way.

‘Me Too’ resign movements in congress party of the dynast

‘Me Too’ resign movements in congress party of the dynast

Hinduism is all about promoting the eternal values and virtues for happy and healthy living; be it in public or in personal life. Whether the theory of ‘karma, the cause and effect’ has any great scientific evidence or not but certainly the theory of Hinduism brings certain values in individuals, infuse consciousness, humbleness and humility and direct people not to engage in Adharma especially when they have power and unquestionable authority. No wonder why Modi is so noble and saintly because he follows the Hinduism, the Sanatana Dharma.

The fall of the great dynasty in congress party reveals nothing but the truth of Hinduism that our karma would not only reward us but also can punish us brutally and the nature of reward shall be good or bad that is defined purely by our karma.

When Modi came to power with absolute majority in 2014, the congress party due to its entitlement could not tolerate a humble tea seller to become Prime Minister of India. For congress, only the members of one family can become Prime Minister of India as India belongs to the family according to congress party. With the support of several media houses and may be with some certain bureaucrats, the dynast tried his level best to portray the transparent and corruption free government of Modi as anti-minority and that promotes religious intolerance. Even the judiciary, Reserve Bank Governor, CBI etc., the party of the dynast used to defame Narendra Modi and the government headed by him. Despite all the above, the party of the dynast also instigated several scholars to return their awards called ‘award wapsi’ in protest against religions intolerance of Modi government.

The 5 years of Narendra Modi’s government was the best government India had since 1947.

Religious amity, equal opportunity and recognition to all religions, sab ka vikas were the primary governance principle of Prime Minister Modi and he has certainly transformed the life of several millions of people irrespective of their caste or religious affiliations. But the dynast along with several Tukde Tukde gangs constantly maligned the reputation of India and tried to portray the image of India in poor light by constantly whipping fear and insecurity among minority communities and was abusing Hindus. Finally Indians have decided enough is enough and the congress party must be exiled to some unknown continent or planet and surely India doesn’t need either the unteachable dynast or his family to rule India. The 2019 election was a most defining movement for India. 

The victory of Narendra Modi led BJP is not just the victory of Modi and BJP but the victory belongs to India and India is the real winner. 

Indians have re-elected Modi from the land of Mahatma Gandhi and shut the door to the Italian Gandhi. The repeated defeat of the dynast is bound to cause depression and alienation which is quite natural. As a result of such frustration due to defeat, the dynast might have announced that he would resign. As a chain reaction, several congress men are now competing with each other to say they too wants to resign by owing responsibility to the defeat. What we witness today is ‘Me Too’ resign movement in congress party.

It looks like congress party is paying its best for its past karma but the most noteworthy point is that the dues is being collected in one go without any time or respite. The tukde tukde gangs, the party of the dynast, several media houses that chose to become the punkah coolie of the dynast have miserably failed or in other words, India had defeated them all.

In the past, every untoward incident that happens in India, they used to blame Modi and fear monger to the minority that they are insecure under Modi. Dividing people on caste line, religious line, poisoning the institutions wherever possible, using the media houses to plant and promote several negative and false propaganda and news were the regular job the dynast and many tukde tukde gangs were continuously doing. The dynast who carries the tag of real chor and on bail in a massive corruption case even went to an extent and called Modi chor.

The behaviour of most of the political parties during election time was worse than a rabid dog. Power was the ultimate goal for them and not India. Fortunately Indians sensed the danger smartly and isolated all those evil and negative forces and re-elected the noble leader- Modi and saved India. The only goal of the dynast and other tukde tukde gangs and khan market gang was to stop Modi and prevent good governance and bring back corrupt governance, governance full of nepotism and dynastic politics. 

The poison ivy cannot be eliminated so easily. People of India must be vigilant and wise and must spread the message of positivity and goodness, tolerance, equality and must reach out to people about every progressive measures of Modi government. It is not just weeding out the poison ivy is enough we also must prevent it from re-colonizing.

Every community in India must shun the fear implanted in them by the dynast and other tukde tukde gangs and must start to breathe fresh air of India, the India that has elected Modi and the India that has been saved by people from the dying dynastic politics.
