Writing on Social Issues

New Central govt should usher in art-integrated uniform education

Bharat vs India: one nation, two names
CORRUPTION-CRIME & TERRORISM :
TO eradicate these demonism from our democratic politics, the simple solutions are :1. No businessmen and NO business involvements in Politics - simple straight forward benevolent administration - a welfare society or benevolent dictatorship ideal for Bharatadesam.
2. Two party system with election reforms suggested by previous Chief election Commissioners like T.N.Seshan. Simple / humble patriots should be elected to rule the nation.
3. Intellectuals with no ego problem should monitor all functions of the Governance.
4. Hartals, strikes, violent protests of any kind, destruction of public or private properties totally banned and a blanket rule should be promulgated to make the political parties responsible for the loss and confiscate the parties movable and immovable properties.
5. Confiscate the wealth of MPs, MLAs and Ministers and administrators from 1970 onwards - a very laborious investigation indeed.
6. Parties should not be allowed to maintain their army of goondas(criminals) in the name of party workers.
7. Lok pal norms should cover all sections of the society including PM, President & CJI. All are equal under the law and justice.
8. Bring to books all underground dealing of Cinema industries (the most corrupt industries) - mafia gangs who control the industry.
9. The outlawed insurgent groups operating under the support of some political parities, creating unnecessary problems and killing innocent poor people can be stopped by offering "house key to the thief" policy. If their ideology or demand is upliftment of the poor and down trodden, let the government give them the provision to do so and see what they can achieve.
10. If the ideology or principles of "Unity in diversity" operates within all political parties no external terrorism will step into the country.
BUT WHO TO BELL THE CAT?
Dear Editor,
ANNA HAZAARE vs BABA RAMDEV
Rev. Anna Hazaare started a good movement with all genuine ideology and millions joined hand with him to fight against a genuine cause. Intellectuals who supported him spoke with one voice. Suddenly Ramdev appeared with a discorded voice. If he is really concerned about the issue he should have used all his man power to support the mission without clamoring for publicity. It looks some one wants to create a dissident voice to abort the good going of Anna Hazaare's movement. So the entire Nation is asking Baba Ramdev to join issue with Annajee and try to fight the common enemy with one voice. His fasting satyagraha is premature since Government is somewhat conceding to the ideology of Anna Hazaare. A momentum is created and Ramdev's move is a spoke in the wheel. Hope the good move started by Annajee will not lead into a fight between Annajee and Babajee and finally the issue of corruption and black money stay on status co. After all Yogis should shed their ego first and then preach peace, ease and serve with love. Of course the Government and people with vested interests are trying to divert the attention from the main issue, and trying to create rift among people, divide and rule policy of the British Raajyam. All that happen and happened are deliberate attempt to divert the attention of people and media to take them away of the main issue of Corruption and black money.

Better late than never, PM has come out with this declaration of cleansing the governance. Trust this happen sooner or later. Keep the fingers crossed. To establish a corruption free administration first and foremost we should have a two party system of election and candidates chosen to represent the parties should be absolutely a blemishless person with proven merit. Any person with criminal back ground or charges - whether it is proven in the court of law or not should not be allowed to stand for election. All corruptions start from election and making politics and public administration a family business. CEC's like T.N.Seshan tried their best to clean the system, but what happened is a big question remaining unanswered.

A killer kills one at a time , but a smoker kills ten or more at time.
A tree can make thousands of match sticks , but one match stick can destroy thousands of tress, if not put to use judiciously.
Grow green and grow great.
No tax payer destroys national properties, since they know it is their money.
Those who destroy are non tax payers; make them all pay the tax to feel the punch.
Keep your toilets clean, that is the best place to pray undisturbed.
Spitting on your path, splitting in your steps , slide in life so smooth = ( if you spit on road, you have to walk keeping your feet apart to avoid that dirt, that will end up in missing step and a fall to suffer. So do not spit in public places.)
Linking river waters links the lives around and helps to live in harmony.
