THE REFORMS I EXPECT IN INDIA – THE NEXT GENERATION
Dear all
A small fun before a serious matter: Two persons were sitting at a Dhaba and chatting while one among them said, “Bhai, I seriously condemn any one employing child labour, we must all think seriously on this and control employment of child labour”, and he continued calling the server, “chotu, chai lao phataphat” ordered a ten year old boy serving tea in the dhaba.
Sometime ago I was seriously writing on some burning issues of fundamental nature – not great issue which forever remain unsolved – the issues which I focus are those which can be solved quickly and without any statutory hurdles.
I am fortunate I have been travelling through India and also out of India quite frequently, and there are many reasons for this; perhaps number one might be – my interest to see people in different parts of the country; and perhaps number two might be – certain compelling situations. Whatever it is nearly half of the country has been toured by me. Well, this is one aspect, the purpose of my writing this letter is something different. When I was travelling either by a train, or by a bus, or by any other mode, I am seeing both the sides of the roads lot of dirty used plastic carry bags. One danger is that as and when throughout a carry bag, we are considered to plant a poisonous seed for another 300 above years, as it does not get decomposed, nor gets mixed up with earth element. Lot many people write on this and many a times, local governments tried to impose restrictions on the usage of these bags. Perhaps, only in Uttaranchal, these restrictions are followed to some level, but not in other states of this country. Particularly in Gujarat like States, the situations need a special focus, as every inch of the road side is filled up with this. It is surely a challenging task in front of the next generation.
Surprisingly, it is not known why the Central or State Government take up this matter seriously and impose restrictions at Manufacturing level itself so that the hazardous material is not dumped into the market for public use. In fact the Manufacturing license should be such that only items are to be produced which are perishable and quickly usable for re-cycling. Let us, if possible, float an organization for country cleaning purpose on voluntary basis. Young people, students in their leisure time, senior citizens and woman who can afford spending a few hours in a week – constitute a better army for this work. They will automatically develop a tendency of keeping their home clean, indirectly. I look forward for a good leader for taking lead of this cleaning army. Why not an organization in the name of SOBHA – SOCIAL ORGANIZATION FOR BUILDING UP HEALTHY ATMOSPHERE, is floated right now and why not we start a revolution of cleaning? Affectionately.

The Reforms I expect in India – The next Generation (Telephone Revenue)
The value of a paisa - unfortunate coins of India from Rs.1 and below, made me to write this. A cent is considered as a valuable unit in USA and not only that, even still decimals of a cent are considered as of much value. The coins are minted in large quantities and it is increasing year by year in USA, to the best of my knowledge.
Long back I remember to have seen a Paisa – the 100th of a Rupee, and there were 2,5,10,20,25,50 paisa coins and this was perhaps when there was some value for all this. I do not think even these coins are minted now a days. Interestingly even beggars do not accept less than an Rs.2 coin and Rs.1 is not being considered as a valuable unit of measure and this is the practical position. This position is nothing new to any Indian. Knowing all this fully well, why the Government puts up some improper regulations in an irregular and impracticable manner, remains to be an unsolved question when all this needs a simple commonsense.
The purpose of my writing all this is simply linked to the tariff of a phone call in telephone booths throughout the country. I believe (I presume that the tariff is something like Rs.1.32ps) Rs.1.32 paisa or so is the minimum tariff for a phone call. I do not really understand as to why the Government keeps a fancy of maintaining an odd charge for such an important public need. I believe that at least a fifty lakhs calls are made in these public booths throughout the country on any day, on an average.
I started analyzing the subject. No booth owner accept Rs.1.32paise religiously, for the simple reason, neither he keeps such a change, nor the customer carries such odd change, nor such change is useful for both of them in any manner outside. Perhaps, if any one wishes to observe strict discipline and carry a change that suits a call, the booth owner unhesitatingly demands a minimum of Rs.2 and makes fun of our sincerity. Thus, a consumer is forced to pay Rs.2 the next immediately acceptable coin beyond Rs.1/ - and the difference of Rs.0.68ps or so, goes to the pocket of the Booth owner.
If the Government is a little wise in its tariff, say, if it charges Rs.2/ per call and make the tariff in round sums of a rupee, the amount which goes to the pocket of the booth owner straight goes into the revenue pooling of the Government and the consumer is nothing to lose additionally. Assuming for a while that the Government is getting at a rate of Rs.0.40ps per call from a consumer beyond what they are charging today, on an average, that would be Rs.20 lakhs of rupees a day and it is something like 72 crores of rupees revenue a year – may be something more if accurate statistics are available.
It is time for the Government to think of this wisely and it is advisable for the Government to implement such systems which are practicable and possible in real life. Some logical and practical approach will be beneficial to the Government in enforcing its policies. Dr P V. Sesha Sai Aswamedhayaaji

THE REFORMS I EXPECT IN INDIA-THE NEXT GENERATION- (BOOK ADDL PAGE)
DESIRABLE NEW SYLLABUS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
As usual Government is making preparations for printing of school books for the forthcoming new academic year and there are arguments and counter arguments today in the news paper. I am observing a number of school going children and small kids driving motor cycles with a high speed enjoying the craze of the speed and thus resulting into accidents. I have also observed a number of children and aged too spitting on the road and using public places as toilets wherever they desire irrespective of the sanctity of the place and this is a common seen while law protecting force remain themselves in a state of silent audience. Probably this is in an irreparable state as is seen today. In most of the apartment complexes we find red patches on the walls particularly at lift points and wall corners. Perhaps nothing can be done to educate the grown at this stage, but surely something can be done over a period of time if we start dedicatedly educating the forthcoming generations from now on. This is nothing to do with the vote bank politics and the Government and the administration should feel happy about this, instead of letting the matters to go on their own leaving the image of the country to its fate.
Now my suggestion is only that a new syllabus to be introduced in all the text books for all classes particularly relating to traffic rules, road signals, driving methods, usage of the vehicles beyond sound and atmosphere pollution, optimum utilization of the fuel and its methods etc. This will help children to know the road rules and respecting the law besides helping the Nation to control pollution. It is a common seen on the road, when children use horns at an extreme level with all impatience even when the red signal is on at the cross roads.
Similarly let us educate children from the childhood stage itself to remain disciplined without spitting and using public places as toilets wherever they like and whenever they wish. This is the basic need of the Country. In all cities we find rotten smell in most of the public places. Red spit marks are of common visibility inside the four walls when a grand appearance is noticeable for the building outside.
Another area is throwing of waste material making the entire city as a dustbin. Waste material disposal should be a uniform lesson for all children so that the roads remain clean.
Lessons relating to these areas are to be incorporated in all the text books invariably and children should be taught as to how they should remain disciplined and how they should behave as a good citizen and this is perhaps the only solution for this ghostly disorder of life in the country.
It is surely a long rage plan but will help us to reform the future generation as good citizens over a period of time. Interestingly, our own people behave in a different fashion as disciplined persons elsewhere in other countries.
Can we do something in this direction?

THE REFORMS I EXPECT IN INDIA-THE NEXT GENERATION-(BOOK ADDL PAGE)
Why can’t the pontiffs help building up uniformity?
Yesterday once again the news relating to the decision of celebrating Ugadi festival was on TV. Perhaps innumerable number of the TV audience might have enjoyed the conversations and counter arguments for fixing up a date for Ugadi. Years ago, I was with one of the Jagadgurus and suddenly a servant entered the room and in the local language asked the pontiff a question as to why a uniform date for Ganesh Chaturdhi could not be fixed much in advance. He further questioned the Jagadguru as to why the Jagadguru could not interfere in such a matters of dispute and settle the matter using his position. All that agony was, he purchased material for Pooja and there was a controversy with the date and the material will not remain fresh for the next day on which Pooja was to take place as per new controversy. I could dare putting a question though I had the same question in my mind.
Kanyakumari to Jammu, majority of Hindus accept and follow rituals and respect the Vedic system or Puranaas, which are the backbone for most of the rituals and Holy festivals. Incidentally oblations are offered in different fashions at each place and more so even within the same region. Authorized and unauthorized personnel perform all types of rituals leading to utter confusion and resulting into lack of faith in the systems. I really do not understand as to why the Jagadgurus do not appear on one dais and insist for a uniform calendar throughout India and Uniform procedure for all rituals – at least on region base wherever the necessity demands. They could have established a Common University for settling matters of dispute relating to Sanatana Dharma and Traditions, more so conducting examinations and granting qualifications for those who can perform rituals. This is a point beyond power politics and vote bank technique. And I sincerely believe that this is WHAT IS MINIMUM EXPECTED OF THEM IN THE CHANGING SITUATIONS.
I desired to create a Uniform platform for many Pontiffs who have innumerable number of followers at different places and it was my trust that all of them together can resolve many issues concerning Hindus and others too. But then, it was a futile exercise, when some one refuses to appear on the stage if some other person of other branch is invited and so on. Once again, my eyes were filled up with tears of joy when the Head of Sikh Religion HH Shri Vedantiji accepted my invitation and respected the ideology behind. I could not arrange for funds for the maintenance of the Pontiffs for that one day program when some of them demanded for it.
Are the Pontiffs been given position for their comforts or for their self elevation and is it not their fundamental duty to come forward to establish a peaceful society beyond controversy? – my mind goes round this unanswerable question and my heart gains weight and my eyes fills up with tears of sorrow as to why we fail to build up a Healthy atmosphere. And, more so why two pontiffs of different branches do not appear on a common platform to create a constructive approach. If they too have likes and dislikes, what is the other alternative and who else can guide all of us? Any possible solution in the near future? – Perhaps we may have to wait silently for the time.
And, now the matter relating to celebrating Ugadi on 19th or 20th is a burning point for discussion on the TV and people enjoy seeing the TV when arguments and counter arguments go on between pundits – known and unknown. This is where we are. If we fail in such small and trivial matters, how are we to face challenges and how can we build up a Casteless society and establish only one and only one HUMAN RELIGION?

THE REFORMS I EXPECT IN INDIA-THE NEXT GENERATION- (BOOK ADDL PAGE)
NEED OF THE HOUR FOR CONSTRUCTIVE NEWS IN MEDIA
Today I am forced to compose this page as an additional page for the book which is being written by me in the name of “The Reforms I expect in India – The Next Generation”. This is just because I saw a news items just now, in one of the popular local language papers of Hyderabad which has incidentally highlighted Aswamedhayaagam which is taking place some where in Jaipur in Rajastan. I really felt for sometime as to why the same local news paper could not high light the same activity “Sri Aswamedhayaagam” which took place just a few kilometers from the main office of the paper when I took all pains to perform the same in the month of December 2005 inviting great rishis. But then, my agony is that the MEDIA could not make even Local Hyderabadis to know better about the Yaagam in December 2005 and now an activity which is taking place somewhere in Jaipur is highlighted in the local language. I appreciate surely the publication of the news items today since constructive activities are much needed to be brought to the notice of the public than news concerning momentary pleasures and cheap incidents which has absolutely no relevance to constructive path of human life.
INTERESTING IT IS- But again, an activity of National Pride – honoring a scholar in the name of MAHAA KAVI KALIDAAS with Mahaa Kavi Kaalidaas Gnana Ratna Award, took place in Hyderabad when the Hon ‘ble Home Minister of the AP Government Shri K Jana Reddy presided over it on my invitation. This should have been a National Level Event at least after noticing the news when an idol of Mahaa Kavi Kaalidaas was installed in the Capital of China. I really shed tears on the day when I read the news of installation of an idol in China and felt sorry as to why we could not honor Great Poet of this land when neighboring country preferred doing the same.
I am a small man but within my limitation I requested the Hon’ble Home Minister and a group of persons unanimously selected Shri Pullela Sri Rama Chandrudu to receive this great honor. The award function took place on 8th December 2006 in Hyderabad. The entire expenses for the award or for the function were borne by me personally.
I had sent a fax to almost all news papers requesting for publication of the news as a news item so that there would be a good gathering in appreciation of the activity. Excepting one or two small news papers, media did not come forward to publish the news prior to or after the honor to make public know about the importance of the Award or Great Poet. I had a practical problem to convince the media about the importance of the event. A few attended who could be contacted by me personally, but then the public remained unaware of the program. And a Great Event was concluded with a meager attendance. Is the Media thought the resultant attendance fair and reasonable – I have to leave this question for the self analysis of the Media and Media People only. Had the Hon’ble Home Minister been not present, probably one or two small news papers which have published this event, might preferred to skip this news and this is what is going on – don’t we agree?.
I really do not understand as to why the MEDIA fail to give weightage to such events of National Importance. Is it on account that the program arranged by an Ardhrite? Or is it because it is arranged by an ORDINARY Citizen who has no political affiliation etc? Or is it for any other reason beyond description on this paper? A small incident would have been given more importance than information relating to a constructive activity of National Pride – where are we and where do we and the Media stands?
.
I have no other option than to leave the answers to the judgment of the readers. The fact remains – I shed tears and I am shedding tears as to why we fail to construct a Healthy Nation and a healthier Citizen who remains helpful in the Nation building activities.

THE REFORMS I EXPECT IN INDIA-THE NEXT GENERATION-(BOOK ADDL PAGE)
ELECTORAL REFORMS
I am noticing quite a good number of enthusiasts for contesting in the elections in the recent times. I appreciate the public intention to keep themselves in the leadership positions. But then, I feel sorry and very bad to look at the shabby walls of public places and even private houses too covered by the handouts, stickers, wall posters and what not. To the extent of contesting in the elections if appreciated, what answers do we have for the ugly and indecent propaganda. What problem does the election commission have to restrict such campaigns and keep the public places clean and neat? It is beyond imagination for any one to assess the individual losses due to this, for the simple reason, soon after the election campaign the owners of the buildings struggle hard to remove the stickers and get their walls repainted and pathetic it is, another election campaign either for local bodies or for State bodies or for central bodies – what not, again starts.
The most important point in the election strategy is, yet, another interesting thing. In a recent election campaign, for just one single seat, there were 60 contestants. Assuming for a while that there are hundred voters in that constituency, 40 votes will be a deciding factor to elect a candidate. It is likely one candidate may get only 3 votes while the rest others get two or less. Invariably, the person who could get only 3 votes gets elected irrespective of the intentions of the majority of the voters.
Keeping these two points in view, I suggest the Election Commission to give clear guidelines to all those who desire to contest, that the candidates shall not under any circumstances cause or damage the public places or private properties either with their campaign stickers or wall posters etc and in the event of some contestant doing so, he shall be disqualified for the candidature.
The second is a sensitive point where most of the political parties need to be taken into confidence for implementation. The candidates who desire to fight the election should be preferably from the National Parties. In the event of anyone contesting the election as an independent, he should be able to mobilize from his supporters or meet the deposit amount on his own, the deposit amount being a huge sum where an individual fancy contestant can not bear on his own. In the event of loosing the election, such independent candidate should wait for a clear year to get back his deposit amount. This may help reducing a number of candidates contesting the election as a matter or fancy or for a division of votes on the basis of caste based politics.
Probably we may help quality based leaders from a selected small lot. The future leaders may at least acknowledge that “Cleanliness is next to Godliness”.
