India is Shining!
                                                                                                                                                 The Bajpai government gave this slogan that "India is Shining". However 'BJP ' lost the last general election very badly. It is not that India has not made any progress so far but it is also fact that its gain has not reach to the economy. The consequently poor people of India are suffering. The Wealth generated in the country is being accumulated in the hands of few corrupt elements i.e. With  Business Men, Government Officers, and Politicians.
                                                          The outsider who visits Urban Areas of India will observed that India is not a poor Country. They carry such impression looking at Posh Multinational Restaurants, Five Star Hotels, Big  Malls, Multiplex, and looking at the people who are traveling in the Luxurious Domestic Airlines, In  Air conditioned Railway Coaches, Air Conditioned Buses and Cars. These facilities  can be afforded only because its expenses are debited to company accounts or Spent out of Unaccounted Cash Money.  It is reported that India's exchequer is losing about 5000 Crore Dollars by way of concealment of Income Tax. That is the reason why lots of loose money is in circulation in the Indian Economy. You will appreciate to see that about  70% to 30% transactions are going on in Real Estate/Land Sectors.i.e. 70% Black Money and 30% in White. It  is also reported that  about 10% of the population in India is paying Tax while in America about more then 9O%  people are paying Taxes. Besides that the  Money generated through concealment of Taxes and by Corrupt means are also transfer to tax heavens.

                                                    It is reported that large amount such money is lying in the Swiss Banks. It is also reported that India is having the highest amount of money in Swiss Banks  Among all Countries of the World.

                                                     It requires will and guts to bring back those money to correct our Economy. Barrack Obama filed case against Swiss Bank for loss of income to USA. Besides that lots of  illegal money of Americans were lying  in the Swiss bank. UBS Bank has to  pay very huge amount of damages along with the list of American Account Holders. Even Germany also used such method in order to solve the such problem. We hope India will also try  to get such money which belong to the people of India.
                                                        These are the the reasons why apparently India is seen shining but  poor Indian people's standard of living is not rising. We hope for the best in time to come.

The Coltan- The most valuable minerals
                                                                                                 The Coltan is the most valuable mineral in the world as it is used in the Hi Tech  Industries. It is found 80% in Africa, 10% in Australia, and  5% in Thailand and Brasil respectively.  It cost $500/- per kilo.
                                                                            One may ask why it is so expensive?  It is used in in the all Sophisticated Hi Tech  electronic  equipments i.e. In the Cell Phones, GPS, Satellites, Guided Weapons, Plasma TV, Video Games, Portable Computers, MP 3 Players, Space Rockets, Missiles and Cameras. The world most valuable companies,  like Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, LG, Blackberry, Apple, Dell,HP, Sharp, Nintonda, Acer, Toshiba, Inova, Sadisk,Philips, IBM, \Microsoft, Intel, Lavern, Panasonic, are always badly need of Coltan. Therefore it is always in great demand. They say it is a white gold.
                 

                                                   
The most tragic part behind the digging of coltan from the mines is misery it brings to the poor people around. It is well known fact that the Republic of Democratic Congo is very rich in minerals where 80% of coltan is found. It is a country situated in the middle of Africa which is also rich with Diamond, Petrol and Cobalt. Its capital is Kinshasa and ruled by corrupt and weak President Joseph Kabila. The country is very much involve in Civil War which has brought Anarchy and Mostly ruled by Armed Groups. In the process the poor people of Congo are suppressed and exploited.  The farmers, Ranchers, War Refugees, War Prisoners and Young  chieldern are working on those Coltan mines. They work from Sunrise to Sunset with very negligible daily wages. Their life is not better than Animals. Those powerful companies spent millions of dollars to finance Civil War and to bribe the corrupt government.      
         

                                                       
However Illegal mining  has already damaged the Eco system and National parks.  The 80% of  Elephant population and 90% of Gorilla population is eliminated. It is a great loss to the Natural Environment.                          
                                                                      This is very tragic situation because world wants more and more comforts and facilities with the help of sophisticated electronic equipments which are made out of Coltan. We can at least reduce the consumption of those equipment or recycle them so that the consumption of coltan material can be avoided.

The present political situation in India
                                                                                                           India is suffering at present from 2014 General Election's fever.  It has created more urge for garbing the power then doing good for the country. The present 'UPA' government is just dragging without controlling the Inflation and Economical reverses. It is deeply caught in corruption. It is very sad picture because present government  wants to retain the power by making announcement of various projects which will be costing  thousands of crores. i.e. In order to please people. Besides that they also want to catch votes by pleasing various minorities by showing them favours. This will ultimately affect the  government treasury very adversely.
                                                                   Besides that 'BJP' one of the opposition party also making several announcement for votes. We do not know how many projects  will be implemented if they come to power. They are also trying to make adjustments with like minded parties.
                                                                 

 It is very surprising that even regional parties have made Federal Front with minimum program in order to get power.
                                                                   Moreover the 'Aam Admi Party is the another factor which has come into picture after their forming government in Delhi State. It has created lot of expectations and enthusiasm as they stand against corruption and giving Honest, Efficient and Clean Government. This factor has attracted Youth, and Honest people all over India. There is good rush for the membership of said party.
                                     

                           
However we have to draw the picture arising out the present situation and how much it will be useful for the country. It appears the that every party or alliances wants to cut the votes of others and after election wants to bargain for power. It may also create the contradiction in the government which will not be in the interest  India. Therefore it is necessary for voters to give clear mandate to one party on Merits. Otherwise the county is heading for another weak and unstable government.  In the process people and the country will further suffer. We pray to God to save the country from such situation.

Education and Knowledge

                                                                                                                     Education is the source of knowledge. It can be seen that most of the countries are suffering due to lack of education. Therefore education bring change in life which brings happiness.Even our ancient scripture had given importance to education.
                                               What is education? Latin language says education mean to draw out the energy from within and to go ahead with it. Ayurveda  has very clearly said that to know truth, to understand truth and to implement it is education. Panini said  'One must learn then to think about it,and thereafter to discuss about it is a knowledge. The implementation of said knowledge is a process of education. Kapil Rishi had said that through knowledge only the liberation comes and education only brings knowledge. Lord Krishna also told that knowledge is the most pious thing. Manu also wanted that one should learn from its Enemy.  Lord Rama sent Laxman to learn from Ravan regarding Politics and Sashtras when he was dying. Hence any body who educated and knowledgeable  carries respect.

              
                                               The Poverty, Unemployment, Slavery, Corruption, Violence, Bitterness etc can be eliminated through education.What happens without Education? Once upon a time Arabs were very knowledgeable people and they built up big libraries. They also built up their own civilization .However thereafter they started living a life animals by destroying the treasures of knowledge. i.e. they destroyed those libraries in Middle East. China also once believed in the past that future of China lies in the school buildings. Similarly India was very prosperous and knowledgeable Country. It had tremendous knowledge regarding medicine, surgery, yoga, economic,dance, music, art, logic, mental science,geography, history,botany, animal science etc. Albert Einstein said' India thought us how to count?' Kanan Rushi also established the Principle of Gravitational Force thousands of year ago. It was possible because then Indian education system was World Class. The fall of Indian education system and refusal to take knowledge from outside was main reason for it fall.

                                                 America  and China  are prospering because of their better education system. Hence any country who wants to come up have to educate their  population with best educational system.

VIP Culture
                                                                                                                                          India is suffering from VIP Culture on the name of protocols. The crores of rupees are being wasted in the process. This is all public money of tax payers. Besides that it is a precious money which is being paid by 3% to 10% of tax payer population.
                                              Britishers were ruling over us more then 150 years and had introduced so many practices in order to strengthen their rule. They were Foreign Rulers and never cared for the expenses spent behind such system.
                                               There is still a Blue Book in the government file which gives direction how to maintain the protocol in the case of VIP.  It is very strange that even there are instructions who can sit with VIP and who cannot!. Besides that each VIP is eligible for certain facilities as per Status, that includes Security Guards, Escort Siren Car,  Transportation facilities and \Big residential facilities. This was done in order to maintain pomp and show and to create fear among people.

                                                 The Britisher left in the 1947 but we continued with the same system without thinking that our own people are going to be ruled by our own leaders and that too with  people's mandate.  Our Constitution also introduced some of the perks and privileges for certain Constitutional Positions i.e. President, Prime Minister, Defense Minister, Chief justice of India and other State Dignitaries. The special plane facility is being allowed to President, Prime minister, and Defense Minister of  India. But with the leadership is being weakened now any Minister can use such facility. In short indiscretion is being committed in such matter. Even such indiscretion is spreaded even at state level and crores of rupees are being wasted.

                                                    It has also become fashion for political leaders to use such facilities to create pomp and show in order to impress people. That is very unfortunate. Even Supreme Court of India also directed to stop the Red lights facilities on the Car by unauthorized people.  This shows that VIP culture has cross the all limits of vulgarism.

                                                      The ordinary people are not happy with this type of show business but they are helpless. However the newly elected' Aam Admi Party' in Delhi has decided to give up VIP Culture. It has received very positive response from people. It has also created very good impact on the all Parties. It is now high time that' VIP Culture' is being given up in the best interest of the Country.

Arvind Kejriwal and Aaam Admi Party
                                                                                                 

Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi  has become a rising star of India because he represents the people's urge for clean , simple and honest political life.  It is also observed that Indian democracy is being failed by Politicians.  They forget most of the promises given to the people once they are elected. They rule the country ruthlessly for five year terms.  It appears they are hurry in making money because of  insecurity i.e. that they may not come back in power. It is also true that people gets disgusted with politicians who does not deliver the goods and vote for another candidate. Besides that it is very unfortunate that there are only two major national  parties in India i.e. Congress and Bhartiya Janata Party. Therefore it  becomes  a game of musical chair and people have not much choice in selection of candidates and parties. In the process  Regional Parties have prospered  and they  shares some power in center without much responsibilities.  However all parties are suffering from corruption and values. In the process people are the victim of all these mismanagement.
                                                             The entry of Kejriwal in the Indian politic is the right moment for the political life of our country. He has brought new hope for the people. His mentor Anna Hazare discouraged him to avoid politics as it is full of dirt. However Kejriwal is bold enough to  to jump in the politics by saying that " We have to jump in for  clearing the dirt therein ."
                                                              He has given honest assurances to people to bring some Values, Honesty, and Simplicity in the political life. Arvind Kejriwal has already started implementing his promises by remaining in direct touch with common man. He promised to remove the 'VIP' culture of Delhi. He has also started distributing free water to common man with certain limit. Besides that he has also reduced the 50% of electricity tariff. Kejriwal and  his team is going to live in small places in Delhi in order to set example. He has to do lot for fulfilling his promises as he is being being closely watched by people  However most important thing is that all political parties have become conscious to improve their images.
                                                            Arvind Kejriwal and his Aam Admi Party has become brakes against Corruption, Nepotism, and Maladministration. It may not be possible to eliminate all evils from the political field but if it is reduce to 50% it will give great relief  for the Indian  people. Therefore we must pray for the success of 'Aam Admi Party'  in the best interest of the country.
                                                   **************************    

Sardar  Patel  and Jawaherlal Nehru
                                                                                                                 We have seen that in this December 2013  the death anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai was celebrated by  two types of people one who really admires him and another one who wants to exploit his name for their own interest. Besides that any leader who wants to glorifies him will put Sardar against his name without knowing what Sardar stood for. His opponent says he was communal that is only to maline him without knowing that he was loyal to India and  was for people who are loyal to India. There are instances where Sardar helped Muslims out of way. There was a Muslim state of Sachin.(i.e. Situated near Surat ) Begum of Sachin was in financial difficulties during the integration of Native States. He helped her financially from his own money. She wanted to return the said money to Sardar afterwards. However he refused to take back money stating that 'I will not take back money which was  given to my sister'. This shows he was not communal at all.
                                                 While Jawaherlal Nehru was very temperamental and use to lose his temper at any time. Nehru had more exposure to international issues as he was educated in London and use to visit Switzerland and foreign countries during the grave illness of his wife. He was more scared of international reaction for handling of any problem faced by India. Hence he was not practical. He was also ambitious for becoming international  leader where by he overlooked some time the interest of India.  He did made mistakes in handling the international problems faced by India after independence. However nobody can doubt his patriotism.
                                                 There were common thing between Sardar and Nehru i.e.Patriotism and respect for their mentor Mahatma Gandhi.Nehru entirely differed with Gandhiji on policy matters but Sardar was with Gandhiji on  most of his Ideology. Nehru threatened Gandhji to divide congress if he is not made Prime minister of India while Sardar  gave up his genuine right for Prime Minister position as directed by Mahatma Gandhi. Nehru  encouraged Nehru dynasty by installing Indira Gandhi as congress president in his life time(i.e. to become prime minister of india ultimately). We do not know where the democrat Nehru was lost then. while Sardar kept all his close relative away from taking any advantage of his position. He even disconnected his relation with his only son in order to stop him for taking advantage of his position.
                                             Sardar was very generous towards the weaknesses of Nehru  and he always praised him positively. He wrote in the  souvenir which was published on the 60 Th Birthday of Jawaherlal Nehru as under" Nehru has highly explosive temper due to his dislikes for reducing the delay in the work. Besides that his volatile nature was also helpful against laziness and inordinate delay. He further added that Jawaher mood goes on changing from childish to mature person.  However he is always ready to accept any thing new even if it is against his nature"
                                            Jawaherlal Nehru also gave a glaring tribute to Sardar on his 75 Th birthday of  in following words. i.e. on 31st October 1950 "I have close connection with Sardar since 30 years and both us have seen ups and down with great events. Sardar Patel has come out of those critical problems with very strong personality. I  have also seen that lots of people are seeking his guidance on various types of problems. I wish he maintains his heath and continue to do so for years.
                                               You will rarely find such great leaders with different views,  Natures and out looks can work to gather for several decades that too with tremendous respect for each other. It may be due to the great personality like Mahatma Gandhi.
