Why Marriages are broken in India - Alarming rate of divorces - never before seen in this country

Dr P V Sesha Sai Executive President – World Brahman Organization #303, Vijetha Sanjeevani Apartments, 6-4-8, Musheerabad Main Road, Secunderabad A.P 500080, Phones Mobile 9440422613, landline 040-65581368 http://aswamedhayaaji.com shodasisai@gmail.com 23rd May 2015 Honorable Prime Minister of India New Delhi Dear Sir, Regarding : Hinduism and Section 498 A I admire your leadership and the achievement you have made during the past one year. Hopefully, we, the proud Indians, are going to witness many more great incidents under your leadership. Most painful it is, today, I saw an article in Andhra Jyothi – a local magazine, wherein an eye catching caption “Family Courts do not have holidays including Sundays” was found. It appears that the divorce cases doubled in Bharat within the past ten years. If the rate increases in this fashion, there will not be any Hindu in another thirty years. Daily 30 cases are being disposed in four family courts only in Hyderabad. The first position goes to Delhi, next to Bengaluru and the third one is that of Hyderabad. 13 cases out of 1000 marriages are now going for divorce. In the same report it is indicated that the Family Courts are even working on Sundays to clear off the pending cases. Interestingly, most of the Ladies fundamentally approach Section 498 A and file at the Police Station initially. Ladies should be given all protection, there is no one to question this, but unfortunately, they are misusing this section since there is NO COST INVOLVED. Hardly a white paper matters for dissolution of the family relations. The Boys are put to all hardship, in spite of the fact, that the Honorable Courts are giving different rulings and granting some kind of protection to the fake cases. It is a fact, most of the cases are fake cases for silly reasons as per psychologists analysis. That means, there are only a select few cases of harassment where punishment becomes essential. The young husbands are now-a-day accepting “living together” concept, just in order to keep themselves away from Section 498 A and nothing else. Thus, the birth rate in the Hindu families is declining rapidly, thereby giving a threat to the Hinduism and its basic roots. I do not wish that the Section 498A be modified or deleted, there is nothing wrong in making Law, but that should not be a curse to the future generation. You might have noticed through my previous letters on different topics, I do not express a problem, but surely I wish to study a solution for the problem. In the similar fashion, I am suggesting a solution within the parameters of legal as well political. Thus the solution for this problem shall be initially, a serious punishment for the fake and false, fabricated cases. -2- The punishment in the first instance shall be levied on the Investigating Officer who blindly supports the Section 498 A and favor only the Lady Complainant. The Punishment should go to a range of suspension or declining of promotion for life time, if the court dismisses the complaint. The Investigating Officer happens to be the ear and eyes of the law, they are normally under several local influences. It is therefore suggested, that the investigating officer be given all freedom to express only facts supported by documentary evidences, so that load on the Courts gets reduced. The Case should be constructed in such a manner that he shall remain accountable for all lapses till the final judgment on the case. Secondly, the complainant should produce recorded evidences in support of her case under section 498 A, and in the event of the case getting dismissed, the complainant should be punished with 1) Compulsory imprisonment for a term not less than three years; 2) payment of a penalty to the tune of Rs.5 Lakhs for all the costs involved including Police Investigation, Court Costs plus costs for the mental torture suffered by the husband; 3) in the event of a child bondage between wife and husband, the child should be given to the Husband for taking care of the future of the child and the wife will have no right to claim the custody of the child since the case has arisen only on account of a fabricated case by her. Such serious punishments shall help building up real cases of harassment and reduces the load on the courts, as well reduce the rate of divorce on silly grounds. These serious punishments will make the wife and husband to understand each other and try to solve the problems if any, by themselves. It is citizen’s right to see that acts are made in such a way that a real criminal do not escape, and a non- criminal be punished. Most important is that, MARRIAGE IS A DREAM IN ANY ONE’S LIFE AND LAKHS OF RUPEES ARE SPENT ON THIS SACRED BONDAGE. Today, within three months the ties are broken. Daily 30 divorce cases in Hyderabad means, 30 marriages are getting broken per day- most awful situation and alarming. Only you can do something to save the wife and husband relationship, and only you can save the future generation and only you are the hope for Hinduism. We, the senior citizens, are with you, Let us save India and let us save HINDUISM. Can we not do something at least now?., yes, we can, and we will. Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah. MERA BHARAT MAHAAN Yours sincerely Hara Hara Mahadeva Dr P V Sesha Sai Note: I am prepared to associate myself with the Law Ministry if any further constructive suggestions are needed. I will involve myself on full time basis without any reward or remuneration and in the interest of Family Relations in the country. copy posted to http://thereformsiexpectinindiathenextgen.blogspot.in/ Copy to the Honorable Central Minister for Law and Justice

Socio Economic Reforms suggested to Honorable Prime Minister Shri Modi

Dr P V Sesha Sai Aswamedhayaaji Executive President – World Brahman Organization, # 303, Vijetha Sanjeevani Apartments, 6-4-8, Opposite Gandhi Hospital, Musheerabad Main Road, SECUNDERABAD 500080, Tele fax 040 27541613, Landline 65581368, Cells 9440422613, Websites: http://aswamedhayaaji.com, E mails: shodasisai@gmail.com, 17th June 2014 To Shri Narendra Modi Honorable Prime Minister of India Government of India NEW DELHI Dear Sir Re: http://thereformsiexpectinindiathenextgen.blogspot.in/ Myself on my personal behalf, on behalf of my family members and on behalf of my team WISH you and your team a result oriented, purposeful, affectionate, commanding leadership to make OUR HOLY LAND a real MAHAAN. We prayed Lord for those good days when we can see affectionate progress in India and perhaps the day has come now in front of us and I trust that YOU ARE THE ONLY AND ONLY SURVIVING HOPE OF THIS LAND. Many people inside and outside India thought that Money, caste, and Liquor play a vital role in Indian Politics. Proving that this inference is wrong, Indian voters today had chosen one and only one party as their hope. Keeping all this aside, the role responsibility of the Government in the days is really a challenging one. As a person bringing out “Common Universally Acceptable Paper Currency” subject way back in 1983 which is accepted by University of Economic Sciences Berlin for their International as well Regional Concept, I have some contribution to the stable growth of our economy. I expect some reforms should take place and only then at ground level we can reassure public that “the Government is by the public, of the public and for the public”. 1) The first reform relates to unfair promises given by political leaders in their manifesto. Many political leaders in order to come to power, started offering unusual gifts to the public and make public believe that these are workable. For example, one such is “Liquidation of Agricultural Debts”. This kind of relief is certainly acceptable when a calamity takes place and all are equally affected. But pronouncing debt relief as a general criteria speaks much on - a) those who honestly pay their debts; 2) the banking system as money with the banks is public money and not for free distribution; 3) get other progressive programs diluted on account of diversion of resources to these unhealthy promises. But today, whether we admit or otherwise two Governments have come with similar programs the first being Andhra Pradesh and the second being Telangana. The State of Telengana went a step forward and trying to give relief even to Gold Loans which is considered to be a secure asset in the hands of the Banks. There are many ifs and buts to disown these proposals by the Central Government. But how to come out of it – is the only matter that is in front of all of us. Giving relief means – nothing else than diversification of funds collected in the form of direct or indirect taxes from the public. The next question is that whether such relief is essential to be considered on priority by the Central Government? I have a few suggestions, though it is not possible to discuss all the points on this small paper, but surely a via media solution is always and forever possible. One such point is that granting a loan equivalent to the amount of relief to be given to the State Government which should be liquidated by the Concerned State Government within four years, so that the steps taken by the concerned State Government shall stand cleared within the time frame of it being in the power. This load shall not go to the next Government elected by the public whosoever they are. The Second point is that allowing the State Government to raise Government Bonds equivalent to the quantum of relief fund and the Bonds getting redemption from fourth year till fifth year. In this case the State Government will raise funds on its own and repay the same during its tenure. In both the cases, there will not be any impact on the funds of Central Government. However, these kinds of reliefs shall surely demoralize the honesty as well the banks. Many banks went into liquidation in Germany between 1930-40 due to wrong decisions taken by the Government. This kind of situation should not enter Indian banking System and the entire system will collapse due to such kind of mishandling. 2) The second reform which I expect – is expected to boost up the morale of Indian Citizen. Today most of the public get their settlements done out of court – through Goondas etc for the only one reason, that the cases in the courts get unusually delayed both in civil and criminal cases. All kinds of care is to be taken while judging a case on its merits but that does not mean too much of time to be taken. : Justice delayed is nothing but justice Denied: - this is what basically law says. Hence Judicial reforms are essential in this country. A Study about the cases filed and pendency of the cases at several levels of the system, and cases cleared would reveal our position. As a common man, I expect that any case be disposed off within a year maximum. What comes into the way is adjournment of the cases, sometimes the defense counsel is not present, sometimes petitioner is not present and sometimes some other reason. Limiting the adjournments to a maximum of three either side would speed up the matter and all cases filed are disposed off within a time limit fixed. These kinds of measures would certainly speed up the matter and timely justice would become possible for the Citizens. Where adjournment is sought beyond the prescribed limit fixed by the law, in such cases a percentage of penalty on the suit amount is recovered from those who seek adjournment. Thus in inculcates discipline and both parties would prefer disposal of their cases on time bound. 3) I have yet another expectation on poorer section of the society who still lives in slum areas. It will be a practical problem and a heavy load on the Government to provide shelter to all those who live in slum areas. It is also a socio economic problem for all of us being the citizens of India. We also should not expect all the matters from the Government, when it is practically impossible for the Government to produce all kinds of boons from infinite. Hence I have the following suggestions for implementation of this scheme. The formulae are that 1) slum area population in a locality, their occupation of the Government Land, would be the base for this calculation. For example let us assume that there is a slum area of 2 acres where 500 families live. This can be worked out providing the slum area half an acre of the land where multi storied building of one bed room flats be constructed and given for all the five hundred families, whereupon one and half a acre would become the absolute property in the possession of the Government. The development and construction work is to be entrusted to such Software Company for their adoption whereupon the company gets a total exemption on income and funds received say for a period of three years or so. The one and half a acre land which becomes free from the slum area shall be given for lease for parks or entertaining or sports activities and the income generated out of it, would be accounted either for the Government or for socio economic activities undertaken by the Government either in the said land or outside of it. 2) The second scheme is that all those who live in slum areas are provided housing loans against the mortgage of the flats and the housing loan on a subsidized interest be liquidated in convenient installments so that the slum area people are provided with houses from their own funds. The rest of the lands which comes out of the slum area be utilized for sports purposes, as today, most of the schools do not have lands for games, and many children play cricket etc only on roads of India today either in cities or in villages. 4) I expect another reform – FULL TANK LEVEL - which is known as FTL. We have lakhs of ponds in India and almost each village, town or city has a lake or a pond. Unfortunately unauthorized occupation of this land and local politics allow the land to be grabbed while reducing the tank area. This has a serious impact on the society. These tanks would help us to preserve underground water resources. It is impossible for any Central Government to expect the local Government to take care of the land and total area, as the locals have their own problems. Statistics reveal that a majority of the tanks are either occupied or filled up causing heavy damage to the ecological balance. It is a fact that tomorrow war between people or states would take place only and only for water. At micro level putting up of conditions that each apartment should maintain rain water harvest – is a small step to protect underground water. But at macro level, the society should also adopt such techniques which would help them to have sufficient water storage tanks for making them self sufficient. Today unfortunately we are dependant of diverting the water from some nearby river by spending crores of rupees; or by lifting the water from different areas to supply to a city etc. These schemes are expensive, and instead of going for such type of expensive schemes, it would be proper for the Central Government to take the problem into their hands and declare all tanks in the country as NATIONAL PROPERTY. The next step is preservation of water and beautification. Each tank may be leased out to corporate sector for their adoption and maintenance. Their duty is to preserve the tank and maintain it neatly while boating, gardening and park facilities shall become revenue generating activities for such of those corporate who undertake the maintenance. There might be some exception where corporate sectors may not prefer, but an initiative towards this would help us to take such steps that would become necessary. One thing to be remembered is that ALL WATER IN THE COUNTRY SHALL BE THE NATIONAL PROPERTY and there cannot be any individual or state ownership. Only at this point, we can also think of Ganga Kaveri Scheme and similar such schemes of linking rivers in the country. 5) BAN BEGGING IN RAILWAYS - I also expect decency in the Public Transportation system. I am not against providing shelters to the less fortunate in the society. However that is entirely a separate subject. Begging in Trains speaks 1) that we have no control on the systems and we allow any one and we respect even a ticketless passenger, 2) that we do not have any administrative control on Government Property, 3) we do not hesitate to keep the properties of our legitimate passengers at risk as no one bothers who enters and who goes out, and 4) we expose our weakness to all foreign tourists and allow them to speak worst of ourselves in their respective countries. The Indian Railway System has many control points, 1) at the entry of the station, 2) in the bogies where we have Train Ticket Examiners, 3) at the exist and in between many checking points and many cross checking staff. Amidst all measures beggars are permitted into the bogies where they can move freely and beyond questioning. The IRCTC has also many contractors travelling in the trains, but unfortunately none of them have a SENSE OF BELONGINGNESS to their bread giving institution. They do not feel that it is their duty to keep the bogies clean and neat and free from beggars. They are also equally responsible for the unholy scenes in the Railway compartments. I expect that a law is passed by banning begging in the Railway Stations or in Railway Compartments. Each of the staff whether it is a TTE or an IRCTC vendor – both of them carry equal responsibility of keeping the compartments clean and neat and away from beggars threat. I am a proud citizen of India and MERA BHARAT MAHAAN, yes, surely, if not today, we can all see a Great Bharat in due course of time. We are dedicated for their cause; we remain indebted to this Great Country, to the Great Mountains, to the Great Forests, to the Great Waters, to the Great Seas and to the Great Temples. I am prepared to associate myself with any program and I am prepared to surrender my time, energy and resources if they are in any way useful to the rebuilding of the country.

The Reforms I Expect in India - Open letter to PM of India on FDI

Sahasradhika Yaaga Karta, Vedanta Visarada, DR P V SESHA SAI ASWAMEDHAYAAJI #303, Vijetha Sanjeevani Apartments, 6-4-8, Musheerabad Main Road, SECUNDERABAD A.P 500080 Telefax 040 27541613, Mobile 09440422613 Web http://aswamedhayaaji.com, e mail shodasisai@gmail.com 23rd September 2012 An Open letter to Dr Manmohan Singh, Honorable Prime Minister of India, New Delhi The Reforms I Expect in India – the next Generation Kindly view http://thereformsiexpectinindiathenextgen.blogspot.in Sir May Our Divine Mother Land grant us positive attitude and religious approach to the actions that we take, decisions we make, anxiety we show. Me and my dearest fellow countrymen are noticing the economic reforms you desire to bring into the country. Chances are remote for you to remember the good olden days dating back to 1983-86 where I could draft a paper on “Common Universally Acceptable Paper Currency” where in many theories like PPP etc were discussed at length. When the original was addressed to you, a copy of the same was sent to Dr Rangarajan in RBI at that time, but Dr Rangarajan alone acknowledged, and I never knew what happened subsequently. Incidentally I did not get any acknowledgement from you. Only University of Economic Sciences, Berlin took the paper quite seriously and the contents and the basic paper are seen in the shape of Euro Currency of today in Europe. I am not a politician, nor do I attach myself to any political party. Neither had I tried for any recognition nor for an award, I really thought that the paper would be of use to India, through learned people like you who were already in prime positions. But, of course, you have many limitations, as I understand and the paper is not taken care by you. You will have some more information in the form of documentary evidences in my blog http://servicesinternationally.blogspot.in. There is no need to write on this today, but this helps us to what degree the administration in India is active and vigilant. Today, you are allowing the retailers into Indian Market with some objective. A few points where a common man has to be convinced are still stuck our brains – just a few points relating to common sense. Presumably, I do not expect any acknowledgement from your office, nor any action on this, as you have your reasons and might be sometimes, some political pressures too. I am not criticizing you or your point of view, kindly view this paper in a positive attitude and for any reason, some information is still useful to you, you may kindly accept and implement. I only consider this as a constructive criticism. I desire to use quite a palatable tone in expressing my thoughts, but unfortunately the subject is such, it is not allowing me to sit quite looking at the on-going things. As a result I am feeling like addressing this to you after a very long gap, with all assumptions that a corrective action is taken at least now, before it is too late. Let us take certain examples of the past like EAST INDIA COMPANY entering into Indian Market and thereafter ruled the country for over centuries, just trading activity and apparently a trading activity – several sacrifices – One MAHAATMA and fortunately we are now in a democratic country. ONE AND ONLY QUESTION : ARE THE FOREIGN RETAILERS ARE USEFUL TO US OR WE ARE USEFUL TO THEM FOR IMPROVING THEIR MARKETS AND MAKING MONEY FROM A VERY HUGE MARKET OF OUR COUNTRY ? Certain view points of a common man:- 1) Whether the decision to allow foreign retailers into Indian market shall bring anything new to the consumer and is there anything that a new product is sold by the foreign retailer beyond the one which is already existing and available in Indian Market? Please remember that Wal-Mart was not permitted to enter New York in USA – in its own country of origin, but conveniently preparing itself to walk onto the commercial corners of India. Why is that we need to allow a majority stakes (51%) for foreigners in multi brand FDI's? What purpose will it serve to the interest of India assuming that the leadership mantle is carried by foreigners? Why is that we are allowing stake for foreigners and for any reason we do not allow any stake to them, are the foreigners are not willing to carry business in India?. 2) Whether any foreign retailer can sacrifice his business interest of making profit and do service to the Indian Consumer? Wal-Mart etc. are pure business establishments which aim at profit, they are not charitable institutions which look for the betterment of India or Indians. 3) Whether any foreign retailer can re-invest all the profits only in Indian Market without taking the same to his country of origin, if he declares so, why at all he is entering into India without getting himself satisfied with whatever he had in his country of origin? 4) Whether granting of permission to foreign retailers does not give them a scope for dumping all unwanted and third class goods onto Indians, where quality assurance or control is absolutely lacking? 5) What type of quality control you have in your administrative mechanism today, and are you not aware that the mechanism is not arresting the spurious drugs; unethical adulteration including milk to children; and a thousand such, within the country? 6) Is this not a fact that the foreign retailer invented Indian Market as a gold fish to catch where 100 crore people are available as consumers and even a profit of one rupee – just one rupee a day from each Indian, is a great advantageous bouquet for the foreign retailer? 7) Are you not aware that the neighboring country China is dumping its waste into our country and who permitted it to do so? Is this not a fact that a sum of Rs.1000 is lost by a individual in a year by purchasing useless and unquestionable goods from China, and what is the amount for 100 crore people multiplied by 1000, on an average? Is there any quality assurance and who checks up the quality and if the quality is checked up and certified, why and on what basis millions of China Goods are in the dumping yard daily? 8) In places like USA, Quality assurance is a basic need, the Courts punish the guilty by imposing heavy penalties and you are aware of it. I fought a case for several years against a foreign institution and still it is going on. It is again a case of selling Insurance product. And today, foreigners found this as an excellent business in India, where they can make money and remain more comfortable than in their own country. Is this not a lope hole that allures the foreign retailers? 9) Do you expect each and every stage to be supervised by the Courts in India and do you have the basic data on Consumer Forums which are formulated only for consumers. Kindly get the data as to how many cases are filed, what is the frequency of adjournment on an average; how much average time is taken for concluding a case; what kind of penalties are imposed and why the courts are sympathetic and leniently view the guilty? This is needed, because, your decision is inter linked with Consumer 10) What is the basic need for a common man in India – not a great foreign retailer; but surely a common vendor on the street at his door steps, which is economical and which is trustworthy. 11) Is this not a fact that a local Industrial Unit suffer on account of a foreign retailer entering into the market, bringing all useful or otherwise items from his country and selling them in India. Which means, over a period of time we are brutally butchering our own industrialists and making the skilled as useless in our own country? 12) What additional advantage do we get from foreign retailers, and incidentally you speak on employment potentiality. It is unfortunate as to why your Government does not aim at giving importance to local, cottage and village industries which are already giving some kind of employment opportunity to millions. 13) Is this not a fact that in the name of employment, we create some more slaves for foreign retailers, and what happens to the existing industries either local, or cottage? 14) CAN YOU GIVE QUALITY ASSURANCE – QUALITY ASSURANCE IN POLITICAL CIRCLES IS BEYOND ANYONE’S REACH WHICH IS A OPEN SECRET, BUT QUALITY ASSURANCE OF THE ADMINISTRATION AND ON THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCTS TO BE IMPORTED INTO THE COUNTRY; AND ANY LAW TO PUNISH THE FAULTY IS ALSO GOING TO BE INTRODUCED ? 15) What is that WE have done ( I consider me in WE and WE means Indians) when the Ongole Oxen breed is unethically taken over by foreigners and today the animals are increased to millions as per a news paper report recently. What is that we have done when patent rights are claimed by foreigners on trees which are not at all grown in their countries? Is there any case where we protested for brutal killing of our Indians, when countries like USA do take serious action even for missing of a single citizen of USA, and for us, it becomes a statistical data. Did we ever protest and did we ever take the matter seriously as expected of us. These are the areas of our deficiency, whether it is our weakness or otherwise, this is what is noticed by any foreigner and this is the area of the foreign retailer’s strength in our country. 16) You want to permit the foreign retailers in any way into our country: - can you not take the following small steps which are still open for you and which establishes our patriotism. a) Instruct the foreign retailer to adopt one village for every one establishment of the foreign retailer, for taking care of the basic amenities like providing water, maintaining a library and uninterrupted power to the village. WE COULD NOT QUENCH THE THIRSTINESS OF A HOUSEWIFE IN A VILLAGE BY OUR ACTIONS WITHIN THE PAST 6 AND HALF DECADES AFTER INDEPENDENCE, LET US SEE WHETHER WE HAVE SOME CAPACITY TO GET THE THINGS THROUGH SOME ONE FROM OUTSIDE. b) Instruct the foreign retailer to have a quality assurance certification that the goods sold by them are taken back as much as they take back in the country of their origin and such certification to be displayed publicly, so that at entry level itself we can make sure of the quality c) Any dispute between the foreign retailer and a Indian Consumer should be sorted out within a period of ten days or so, lest the foreign retailer has to pay a certain sum as penalty to the Indian Consumer d) No agricultural produce to be brought into India from outside, basically as an economist, you might be aware that India is a predominantly an agricultural country. We have already grabbed agricultural lands from several of our agriculturists and made them jobless. Let us protect at least the existing cultivators to keep on their activities so that the skill is not dead over a period of time. I consider you as a brother, you have your own limitations, you have your pressures, I do admit, but let us not sacrifice the interest of our fellow countrymen – our own brothers and sisters – for no fault of them. We could not provide uninterrupted power supply to our countrymen as well a pot full of water to sister ladies / housewives in villages, even after six and half decades of independence. These are the basic needs, not an air cooler or an electronic good from a foreign country, what is that a common person can do with an electronic device in the absence of the electricity. Hours together we are imposing power cut and nothing presumably is forthcoming to solve this problem. There is nothing that people LIKE YOU AND ME to improve the taste of our tongue; or to wear; or to enjoy additionally – surely nothing allures us at our age, excepting protecting the interest of our fellow countrymen, Society, and the country. Let us do something useful to the next generation, and we will surely have self satisfaction that we have done something to our fellow countrymen when we are active and alive. Globalization is not meant for grabbing the rich treasures of other countries, it is purely meant for exchanging of technical knowhow; services for over all betterment. Globalization helps us to procure what we do not have, but not to kill our skills and accept the skills of other countrymen. Globalization is for a human comfort, and not for self sacrifice. I do not get even acknowledgements from people like you, as such; I do not wait for any acknowledgement or an action on this note. But I prefer to keep this note in my blog so that the next generations would understand that some thought provoking ideas are still generated in India. No Position is permanent, but surely our actions, let us all work for the welfare of our countrymen for having been fortunately born on this HOLY LAND. The least, give me an opportunity to contribute to your think tank, let people of identical mind (may be quite few), work together – surely in five years time, I can support you and your administration to create a golden period for our Country and Countrymen. We will be remembered by people of India for generations. One final suggestion : Let us present our views to a group of experts and experienced and let them examine quite unbiased and let us also take their views into consideration before implementing the decision. Please look into the possibility of Political parties not entering the scenario which may ultimately dilute the intensity and aims at individual goals. We have pure and dedicated personalities in our Country. I too volunteer myself and I offer my services free of cost – in the best interest of our people. We can do lot of things – nothing remains impossible for a human being – let us all convert the impossibilities into possibilities.

Ban Begging in Railway Compartments - Open Letter to Ministers of Railways

Dr P V Sesha Sai Aswamedhayaaji E mail shodasisai@hotmail.com web http://aswamedhayaaji.com Land Line 040 65581368 Mobile 9440422613 Point wise blog : http://thereformsiexpectinindia.blogspot.in or http://thereformsiexpectinindiathenextgen.blogspot.in/ 9th September 2012 THE REFORMS I EXPECT IN INDIA – THE NEXT GENERATION- Begging in Railway Compartments An appeal and open letter to Honorable Minister for Railways, Government of India Being educated, we all knew that we should protect and take care of less fortunate fellow human beings in the society. It is our primary duty to make them live with basic needs. But that does not mean that we ignore all decencies and permit beggars to enter into all classes of travel in Railways and present an indecent picture for the visitors and also give scope for missing of the belongings etc of the passengers. A travel without a ticket is a punishable offence, and our Railway Staff are quite generous, they ignore the basic rule and become silent spectators of the beggars entering into the train without a ticket, besides allowing them to make money in the form of sympathy. I am not talking of any great decision – may be in respect of reservations in promotions etc; may be in respect of mercy petitions etc; I am just writing this on a point – where no POLITICS ARE INVOLVED; NO CONTRADICTORY STATEMENTS ARE EXPECTED; NO HARTAL; NO DHARNA; still RAILWAYS cannot take a decision expected of them. it is JUST A MANAGEABLE MATTER. It can be managed at a lower level of the Railway administration, but why can’t they take a decision and restrict beggars entering into the compartments. From South to North; East to West – any train – any class – any situation; thousands of beggars can be found round the clock in the trains. Today Railways are in a comfortable position economically, if Railways consider to promote begging activity, no one prevents, Railways as well can run a beggar home in all stations and look for the basic needs of the beggars, public will also contribute their best generously. Moreover, begging in Railways gives a very shabby picture for the foreign tourists particularly in tourism oriented states like Rajastan, Kerala, Tamilnadu etc. Let foreigners do not feel that our motherland consists of more beggars than economically better. Let foreigners also not think that we have no administrative ability. Let us not allow any foreigner to feel that we have no conceptual ideology. Please ban begging in Railways, permit citizens of India to have a safe and comfortable travel while making Indians feel proud before foreigners that we take care of less fortunate in the society in a far better manner. Let us not ignore – more the beggars – more we expose of our inefficiency to take care of our less fortunate people. Is the Railway Ministry so incapable ? Can they not do what they are expected of ? Affectionately. Hara Hara Mahadeva Dr P V SESHA SAI ASWAMEDHAYAAJI

Education on Non-usage of Plastic Bags- Open letter to Minister for Education

One side authorities of Pollution Control Board speak a lot on these wastages. It is a matter of surprise, the PCB and the Industrial license sanctioning authorities are both the wings of Government. It is not known as to why the Government stops issuing licenses to these wrong things. It is also not known as to what are the delicacies for the Government to ban such items outright. The least what the Government can do, is the public education. Please make use of the channels and telecast at least half an hour program in all channels on these subjects and the danger generated out of such usage may also be illustrated. Similarly the Radio Channels may also be used for this purpose. One more step which the Government can take up (which shall go for a long run), is to introduce lessons relating to the subject and educate children from school standard onwards. Similarly, throwing of garbage in any place of public choice is yet, another area where public needs to be educated. So also usage of any open place as public toilets should be taught as a wrong practice. I am sure that the Government can help in educating children from primary levels onwards on these subjects in order to build up a healthy future for the Country so also for creating a healthy environment. The Channels are mostly delivering terror pictures; fantasies; lootings; and that of Ghostly attitude. These picture no way help the Countrymen particularly, the next generation, though they give a momentary pleasure. They are harmful to the community; to the future of the children, where as public education system on some important points will surely help the Government and also the Country in the long run. Someone has to start, if not today, at least in the near future, if one decides to contribute his best to the Great Motherland. WHY NOT WE START NOW ITSELF instead of giving similar opportunity to someone else at some other point of time – fatally loosing the golden opportunity that is available in our hands of the Present Government, right now.

Morale and Educative Need- Open letter to Minister for Education

In a secularist country like India, introducing methods is a risky job due to political uncertainty and persons in opposition (either Congress or otherwise) find fault with the administration and enforcement of law, for different reasons. We have already formulated Laws and our Laws are sufficient to give proper and legitimate fruits to the citizens of India. The only and only problem is implementation of law – we are utterly failing in implementation of law. We need to put up several check points and spend huge amount on these law enforcing agencies. The easiest and quickest possibility is through proper education to children, though the fruits of this tree cannot be seen by you or me – aged; the fruits are certain over a period of time, and our next generation will surely enjoy, PROVIDED, we plant a comfortable and adaptable seed now. Therefore educating Children right from childhood is sure to help us to see a bright INDIA in due course of time. This educative system is a non-controversial system and those who try to tag this FIRST shall always be admired. Second point is that ONLY MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES CAN DO WONDERS, hence it would be advisable for the Ministry to bring a five member committee – where no person from the Ministry shall be a member; and one each drawn from each side of the country and ALL THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS shall be only AND ONLY SENIOR CITIZENS, who are either social workers or involved social upliftment activities. This committee would examine each area and give suggestions to the Ministry – and ultimately, the powers to implement the suggestions or not shall rest in the hands of the Ministry; hence there is forcible thrust on the Government keeping the Government in an Embracing situation. LET US EDUCATE CHILDREN FOR A BETTER AND MEANINGFUL TOMORROW. JAIHIND yours truly HARA HARA MAHADEVA DR P V SESHA SAI ASWAMEDHAYAAJI

Basic Education Need - Open letter to Minister for Education

Dr P V Sesha Sai Aswamedhayaaji, President, World Brahman Organization, Chief : SAINTS(School for Scientific Analysis on Indian Traditional Systems) #303, Vijetha Sanjeevani Apartments, 6-4-8, Musheerabad Main Road Secunderabad AP India Mobile 09440422613, web http://aswamedhayaaji.com., e mail. shodasisai@gmail.com 15th August 2012 The Reforms I Expect In India – The Next Generation ( Basic Morale and Education Need for Children) – a open letter to Honorable Minister for Education, Government of India –New Delhi Dear Sir Kind attention of Shri Kapil Sibal, Hon,ble Cabinet Minister HR I am stunned to see a report in the news columns recently wherein a statistical data is provided in respect of road accidents in Hyderabad. During 2009 the number of accidents were 2990 while 481 died; during 2010 it was 2797 and 494 died; in 2011, 2800 accidents and the dead were 430. If this is applied for the entire Nation, more or less 100 cities and the death rate shall be 43000 for 2011, if not more. How and why these accidents are taking place? is a matter to be seriously taken note of. Reports say that speed driving is one reason; no knowledge of road rules is another reason; drink and drive is another major reason, which speaks about our failure to educate the youth on road rules shall become the prime cause for all these deaths. When the channels are in the hands of Government, I really do not know as to why the Government cannot impose a law on each channel to telecast AT LEAST HALF AN HOUR PER DAY on the educative programs and educate the parents 1) not to purchase the vehicles for the children below the age prescribed under law; 2) not to allow their children to drive vehicles without getting proper driving license; 3) to educate their children that they should be within the road rules. This basic education has to start from home, lest, the parents have to pay heavy cost in the form of their children lives as was in the case of certain politicians, cine artists, and cricketers in the recent times. Kindly give instructions to all channels to telecast AT LEAST HALF AN HOUR in frequent intervals on the causes of death. This public awareness program is most likely to bring the death rate in road accidents. Road rules are the primary educative needs for children. As such, a text should be introduced in all classes focusing on road rules; first aid; helping physically challenged; helping senior citizens in road crossing etc so that we can build up a better future for the next generation. Job oriented education alone will not help to build healthy Nation, countrymen morale should ever remain high and mutual help and understanding the law shall be a certainty for each child or for that matter for each citizen. Government is in your hands; you can make laws; you can amend Acts in this direction; and you can alone stop this fast growing unhealthy attitude amongst the youth particularly. Education alone helps and you can alone do it. Kindly help the younger generation to remain disciplined. Let us all together build up a better future for our Country and for our Children.

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.

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”.

The reforms - The ways to curb black money

The reforms I expect in India – The next Generation The ways to curb black money
The purpose of my sending the articles through th is mailing system to all of you, is only that, at least one amongst you can seriously take these problems to heart and those who are close to the Government may try to get the suggestions implemented. The presentation is not meant for any reward or remuneration, nor for appreciation. I consider this as my duty as a proud citizen and I look forward for reforms keeping in view of the The Next Generation.
Black Money, that is unaccounted money and Corruption or corrupt practices, is interlinked. Unless there is a change in the attitude of the political parties, corruption cannot be controlled and as long as corruption is not controlled, growth of black money becomes inevitable. Then, within these parameters the best solution for this challenging problem should be planned out. Sometime ago, may be, twenty five years back when I was designing “Common Universally Acceptable Paper Currency” with a different ideology, the “Black Money” problem was also to my attention and then I drafted a note and sent it to the News Papers for publication. Interestingly there was response from different sectors including Planning Commission and nothing could presumably be the ultimate result. However, the subject relating to Universally Acceptable Paper Currency was taken by the University of Economic Sciences, Berlin and the result is the present EURO CURRENCY.
Back to the subject, on account of hard cash in the form of Black Money, not coming to the account, the Government is losing a lot of revenue and it is not in a position to deliver the goods expected of it. Due to falling short of resources, the deficit between revenue and expenditure, has become another problem every year resulting into additional taxes only on the legitimate tax payers while non-tax payers particularly money hoarders are indirectly gaining support. Added to this, money hoarders or holders of “Black Money” are controlling political parties, there upon diluting the values. The country is not gaining progress in the lines expected of it due to mixing up of all this. I believe,the next Generation is aiming highly on it with lot of demands and expectations, therefore a solution to this burning problem has become a must.
Accounting of a transaction will help the Government to find a solution to this ever growing problem. The business establishments are not accepting accounting of the transaction due to “complicated tax system”. There is a saying – “if you cannot convince, confuse”, perhaps this is being followed by the Government. The confusion that the Government has created this year by introducing new tax returns is really a mess and even the Accounts Experts and the Tax Consultants broke their heads to understand and realize what it is. Fundamentally, a simple system – an understandable system – an easy return, will encourage the tax payer to accept the Policy of the Government. I do not know why the Government disowned the simple returns which we planned long back – I am also one of the participants in the tax return designs. That was considered to be most appropriate and simple, and now why the Government did changed the simplest form to this complicated return, perhaps they too may not know. All the same, a simple tax return system will encourage the tax paper to come into the tax structure and a portion of the money remains accounted.
In the direct tax system, instead of complicated slabs, there should be only one uniform slab for all salaried irrespective of the salary drawn while the existing savings pattern continue. This will help the Government to improve the total savings of the salaried by giving the salaried enough retirement protection.
The next major issue is “Billing”. Billing is not done in many establishments thus the transactions are not routing through the accounting system, thereby giving scope for tax evasion. I suggest the Government to amend the laws in such a manner that all transactions beyond, say, Rs.1000/ or so must be through credit card or cheque. These days almost everyone is possessing “PAN CARD” for some reason or the other, as it became a must for certain transactions. Likewise, usage of Credit Card has also increased and this will be an excellent tool in the hands of the Government.
The basic principles to curb black money are 1) making people to accept the Tax System through simple return and simplification of the procedure, 2) making the transactions routed through proper accounting system, 3) elimination of Cash based transactions, 4) creating an unavoidable situation so that everyone has to remain in the structural formation of the system.
When we accept “credit card payment” for transactions beyond Rs.1000/, naturally money starts entering into the cycle. The second advantage of this is elimination of hard cash which alone is the route cause for “hoarding or Black Money or Unaccounted money”.
An unavoidable situation is such, today, for any transaction beyond Rs.50000/, presentation of a Pan Card has become a must in any bank. Thus people have come to the “Pan Card” circle; interestingly we can find long queues in the counters where “Pan Card” applications are accepted.
In the similar fashion, any bank should take address proof through the Ration Card or Voters Card, before granting a Credit Card. If either of these is made mandatory for the bank, everyone is naturally monitored to become a voter thus giving scope for the quality of voting over a period of time, and furthermore, through Ration Card system, population census becomes easy, besides monitoring flow of essential goods.
Andhra Pradesh Government has done well in this regard, where every ration card contains the LPG connection number, number of residents, and such other fundamental details needed of a household, and this is further guarded by “Finger Print Bio” system to prevent misuse. This is also interlinked with the issue of passport.
Similar exercises are already done by the Government over the past few years and a base is already available, like voter card etc. Therefore there is no loss of time in implementation of a new procedure, in this regard, and we can safely plan out the future for regulating the transactions through this base system.
Thus Credit Card shall become the tool for payments, directly making the transactions start entering into the accounting cycle. The ceiling should be as low as Rs.1000 so that a majority of the transactions enter into the procedural aspect of the accounting system.
Rome is not built in one day, so also economic reforms in India cannot be done overnight. But certain steps – which are practicable and suits implementation, are needed absolutely.
This is a long term plan but short term strategies are needed with a clear set of mind, and this is only solution that suits India. When a system is habituated, it naturally keeps the doors open for curbing of black money and proper increase of the revenue to the Government.
Let us build up a better and healthy economic atmosphere and that is the only primary and fundamental responsibility we have, in front of us. This mailing system does not permit me to write the modalities more than this, but surely I have good modalities that are conveniently suited. If the basic principle is accepted, perhaps, we can do well in a via media mode, let the likeminded people join together to bring reforms in building a great future for Mother India.

THE NEXT POLITICAL PARTY TO POWER - A STRONG POLICY AND BASE NEEDED IN INDIA
We have comfortably spent sixty years after independence and what has been done, whether it is sufficient, whether it is of quality based, whether that alone could be done, whether people are happy with what has been done…..several such? – answers are left to individuals. Congress party ideals and Communist party ideals differ totally and now both the parties are combindly sharing the power. Well, it is not my concern to know about their ideals strength or they desire to get themselves diluted.
My interest is purely concerned with the progress of MY COUNTRY and my fellow countrymen leading their life peacefully, purposefully, eventfully and I look at the overall growth regaining the past glory.
The general elections are not too far. This is absolutely a strategic time to gain confidence of people for any party, eventually the wind is in the side of Congress Party – being in political power right now, provided it is in a position to deliver the goods from a common man angle. The strategic wave length of a beaurocrat or an adhoc policy of a political combination is not – surely not- going to be a long lasting power point for any one. The forthcoming elections are a question of survival for many political parties.
Certain public needs are to be managed and public cannot be convinced for the overnight assurances in front of elections any more, as was done in the past. Therefore if any party is interested to come with an election agenda or manifesto giving assurances to the public what they are going to do if elected for power, shall become a second rated assurance, particularly this time.
A strong political base is a must in the forthcoming elections if India desires to facelift and show the world its quality manpower resources, economic progress and all round development to retain its position on par with any developed nation. To build up a strong political base, ASSURANCES no longer can help, the approach should be practical, result oriented and goods are sure to be delivered. I can show the Government the ways and means to strengthen their base and do something in practical terms to the Public of the Nation. It is surely a lengthy document and this mailing system will not help me to pen down all that.
I know that 2009-14 term of the Nation is quite crucial one and there are chances – abundant chances, to cover up the sixty years gap and focus ahead with a future plan. This would once for all strengthen the base of any political party in India.
People expectations have increased and now they are both quality based and performance oriented. Some patriotic touch is also a must irrespective of individual gains, personal images, and cheap tricks.
I am a small man from general middle class public and having stayed with utmost rural poor for quite a length of time beyond anybody’s imagination in an un-electrified village, I know their needs and I know what they are looking for. Let us not ignore the poor a d less fortunate, let us build up a healthy POLITICAL STRONG BASE FOR THE COUNTRY IN THE FORTHCOMING ELECTIONS.

The reforms - Politically Religious Interference

THE REFORMS I EXPECT INDIA – POLITICALLY RELIGIOUS INTERFERENCE
It is really an unfortunate situation in India that when once a person is elected to Political power, he or she considers himself or herself as the supreme and therefore they can enforce their personal interests on the entire population of the country and lead the public to the “mean” goals set for themselves during their tenure in the office. They forget that India is a secular country and people of different religions are the proud children of the country.
In the recent past, as per the news paper reports, wife of a Political leader and head of a state started campaigning for a Religion along with other family members. She has conveniently forgotten that she is the wife of a leader of the state heading a secular state. This is a very bad situation and it is unfortunate we have such inferior cadre of leaders amongst us who utterly disrespect the spirit of secularism and pave a way to a religious fight. They have also forgotten the oath they had, while assuming the office.
We are fortunate, the former Presidents of the country did not make a way for conversion into Islam, nor did they involve themselves in any way to propagate Islam. We must salute their commitment to the Oath in this regard.
If religion starts ruling the country, it might have lead to many communal riots. Nothing matters to respect his own or her own religion and it is surely a private affair where none can interfere. But when it comes to the position, there should not be such disastrous statements, undesirable religious campaign, unwanted creation of a confusion and thereupon conversion to other religions. Every one elected to a Power or heading the state or the Centre must refrain from such practices.
Religion is an individual choice and it depends on individual liking or otherwise. A Statement from the Political head or his family members is nothing but mis-utilisation of political power.
We cannot go back to the past and say that India should remain as a Hindu State only. Whether we like or otherwise, wars took place, other religions entered into the country and at this stage we have no option than to co-exist creating a friendly atmosphere. We cannot afford sacrificing lives for a communal war. We elect people to upkeep this tendency and not for a butchery.
It is time all of us collectively look at choosing political leaders who does not go for “mean” matters and resort to cheap tactics to win the hearts of a person of their choice, involving themselves in religious propaganda while in office, heading a Government. I fear, nothing could possibly be done at this awful stage to modify the constitution or change the Laws in this direction, but a day should be there where people of the country choose a “quality” based and I am sure we have at least a few amongst us who can deliver the goods x
May God help us all and LONG LIVE INDIA and LONG LIVE MY COUNTRYMEN.

My dear friends and like- minded persons

THE REFORMS I EXPECT IN INDIA – THE NEXT GENERATION (WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM)

Most of you have already been in receipt of series of mails under the caption “The Reforms I Expect in India – The Next Generation”. I did mention few important changes to be brought into the Judicial System to create a confidence amongst the people of India on the Existence of Law and timely justice and also quality justice becomes possible on the holy land. It is to be remembered that once upon a time, Judiciary was considered supreme even the kings were punished severely by the Judiciary.

It is a fact agreed by the learned scholars of Law that “Justice Delayed is Justice Denied” which does mean that timely justice is a must. The second point agreed upon is “though a criminal is let free, surely an innocent should not be punished”. The innocent gets punished in two ways, 1) by the lapse of time and 2) by biased Judgment. These points are exactly the base of this paper whereupon reforms expected are placed for a discussion and an outcome. My knowledge in legal matters may not be sufficient to appropriately suggest the changes wanted, but my logical reasoning expects the following and this is to be further modified and analyzed by the masters in the related field.

I really do not know why and how the Jury system was dismissed in Indian Judicial System when the law mostly was copied from the foreign codes. As earlier suggested a time frame work for civil cases help the people to build up confidence on the system, while a re-introduction of the jury system may help largely in criminal cases. Again, honestly to speak, letting out criminal is nothing but doing injustice to an innocent. Criminals should not feel that they can take shelter under law through the weak links of law in the prevailing situation. I feel that a Jury panel to be maintained by each court which entertain criminal cases, and that the members of the jury should be drawn from the public other than the empanelled advocates. A case also may be considered where 20% of the Jury are from the legal side and the rest from the senior citizens and senior citizens alone who are supposed to have maturity at thought. A large panel to be maintained and a list of jury for each case to be drawn through a machine (human element to pick up the members of jury to be avoided as far as possible which gives room for dilution of the system in the existing conditions). Perhaps law has to be amended in such a manner that proper reforms are introduced at least from now on.

It is really matter of appreciation that the Judiciary now-a-days is firm in its decisions like holding the Government responsible for the attacks on Indians in Australia; publicly coming out by some judges of Madras Court without fear or favor, on the Ministers for influencing the Justice; holding the Government responsible for the irresponsible attitudes of the Registrars in AP and many such. Only Judicial system cannot clean the entire dirt and it is time WE all join and through thought provoking ideas whereupon with a hope that some one – in the system would hear to the cries and takes care of the system.

We have committed people as is seen in the administration of the poll conduct in the recent elections by the Election Commission as well by the Police Administration. We have many quality based people and quality supporters and let us try to upkeep the quality and help at least the next generation to have a safe and purposeful life on the Holy Land of India.

Yours affectionately

I AM TRYING TO KEEP ALL THE ARTICLES WHICH HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY ME IN THE PAST UNDER THE TOPIC “The reforms I expect in India – the next generation” in a blog separately created for this purpose with a caption http://thereformsiexpectinindia.blogspot.com and please subscribe your opinion on different subjects from time to time.

The Reforms with regard to Judicial systems

Dr P V Sesha Sai Aswamedhayaaji E mail shodasisai@gmail.com 11th July 2007
The Reforms I expect in India – The Next Generation

Chapter -QUICK JUSTICE
In the good olden days, the emperors used to hear the pleas of public on specific days and used to decide the cases then and there itself. There were instances in India where the Kings were also punished by the Judiciary. The Judiciary was considered as utmost supreme. The history speaks of the instances where Judiciary was given appropriate placement in order to do justice to the public wherever and whenever needed. This approach created confidence amongst public when Judiciary was considered as immediate grievance redress machinery.
There are three systems of administration in a democratic set up like India, the first one being the Governing body, the second one being the electoral body, and the last one being the Judiciary. I have very little to say about the first two since any news paper does speak of them every day in every forum. Perhaps they have come to a conclusion that the present functionaries in the Governing body and the Electoral body are beyond repairable condition. They are inter- dependant and nothing much can be done in these two areas. The only surviving hope for the country and the countryman is JUDICIARY.
In the absence of immediate grievance redress machinery, people tend to approach rowdies, goondaas, extremists, and other agencies which were preexisted to civilization. A so called civilized society has certain coded order of life and therefore it is called Civilization.
In countries like USA, cases are settled within a time frame work and the punishments are mostly extreme while most of them involve heavy financial penalties. Thus this gives a signal to the public to be cautious since people are not prepared for financial loses. The second kind of punishment, basing on the gravity of crime, is ordering a law breaker to clean the roads, or do something useful to the public openly so that this kind of punishment is not only useful to the public, but also remains as a caution, and also shall remain as a reformation step in the attitude of the law breaker.
The appeal and further appeal, adjournment of the cases infinitely without a time limit are all causing loss of faith in the system and therefore the undesirable anti social elements are cropping up with lot of confidence that the Judiciary cannot do anything, and even if the judiciary does something nothing to worry since the case can be dragged forever and forever on different reasons, at different levels. In other words, there is no reason and scope for fear of punishment and this confidence in the minds of people is making them criminals or scope for committing crimes or for law breaking and the list is endless.
A judiciary can enter into nook and corner when an administration and the electoral cannot. A judiciary can also set right the administration and the electoral and it is the only and THE ONLY HOPE FOR THE COUNTRY today.
It is quite essential that a time frame work, say three months for a civil case including the period of appeal; say six months for a criminal case etc. are a must and this initial step is sure to do lot of wonders in the country. Nothing to worry much about the pending cases, the cases can be handed over to the senior advocates or retired judges who can volunteer to clean up the pending work on war footing basis. From now on, all cases can be kept open on records including the date of filing, the procedural aspects and the status of the case and a kind of transparency shall help people to know what is going on and where exactly the case stands. The system can be linked to internet too. This will help creation of confidence on the system and this will also help to some extent establishment of purity of minds. Some important cases can also be telecasted so that public can see and keep themselves confident of the available redress machinery.
The Law books says that JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED. It is up to each of us to decide whether we are denied of justice or otherwise, but let us make sure of ourselves with a certain amount of commitment that we should not DENY justice for whatever reason it is.
It is obviously difficult to change the act since political interference remains as a must for it, but from legal administration angle, of course, I believe there would be great scope for such reforms provided we are committed for it.
Probably some of our children, grand children, great grand children may become the sufferers if we do not plant a seed of discipline today and it is possible only through Judiciary and Judiciary is the only surviving hope for all of us.
Any suffering is possible, for example, the houses which we are giving to children may turn out to be a liability when they fight cases years and years together for getting the house vacated by the tenant, or a criminal is given all comforts in a jail for years and years together when some of our children and grand children remains to be a sufferer all through their life and so on, the list remains again infinite. Is it not time for us to do something?
