World's Biggest Black Money Market: India.

                                   Well everyone here must be familiar with the recent news on the Indian black: How government gets the names of the account holders of Swiss Bank, how and what will be the proceedings, will government bring back the black money..etc etc. But what is it actually is known to a handful of people.
                                     The rising of a black money is a major challenge to a developing country, especially India. Black money, in simple terms, means the money on which tax is not paid or the money that is obtained illegally as in the form of bribes. The black money in India is a good issue of extempore. Since India obtained its independence, black money is on the verge of increase since then. The Government of India, at that time, did not took any major steps for controlling the black money outflow. The major causes of the rising black money in India today are that high rates of taxes and large number of taxes on the Indian shoulder. When any businessman (probably working on a small scale) earns a little profit, he has to give about 20% of his income as the taxes ( I'm not talking of one tax, but number to taxes here). So if he is not to get something more for his and his families stomach how and why shall he pay the tax. Naturally he shows a little amount infront of the income tax department and pays only a little. To effectively curb this the Government should reduce the number of taxes and should also reduce the rates of the taxes, and more and more number of the population should be brought under the Tax System. Let us suppose that out of the 110 crore people, today only 20 crore fills tax, suppose Rs. 10 each with average income of Rs.20 each. Govt. will get Rs. 200 crore. Now in the next step assume that 50 crore people are made to pay a tax of Rs 4 each, supposing their average income to be Rs 15 each. Then also the government will get the same thing. Also in contrast, everybody will happily pay the tax as the tax rate will be less and people can enjoy more profit.
                                   Now, lets see for the bribes. Do you know what is the monthly salary of an average hawaldar working in the police station? He just get barely up to  Rs 4000-5000. So now I leave the reader to imagine how he will sustain his and his families lives with such less amount in hand and that too in this extremely inflated world ? Naturally he will have to find a other way out of these crisis and that way is the bribe. What they think that let's take a little bribe and let the accused be free, after all who is going to ask me ? The Indian Govt. selects the best of the best brains from the UPSC's competitive examinations. These then are give the IAS post throughout the country but what about their payment ? They are also poorly fed by about Rs 10000-14000/ month. So what shall they do? The States are appointing food inspectors in their respective states to check the adulteration and quality of the food stuffs. But they are even worse paid as Rs 3000/month. Don't you think that it is not possible to them for sustaining their lives ? On the contrary, if their payment is increase to upto Rs. 60000-70000/month, wont they live happily ?
Advani seen to demand black money back in India
                                    Now-a-days you ll must be updated with the news of the Govt.'s steps to bring the black money back in India. The black money from India is mainly deposited at the Swiss Bank and the German Bank. Now why these two banks only ? The answer is very much simple. Whenever we go to deposit our money in the bank, the bank first asks from where the money has been brought and whether the required tax on the amount has been paid or not and demand these legal documents. But the above mentioned two banks are such that just give them money they do not ask anything and the money is safely deposited ! That's all. Well if anyone provides such a banking facility naturally the line for making it our daily part is a long one. On the part of Indian's, the chairman of International Monetary fund says that, India may be a poor country but Indians' are not. He says that according to the Bank's statistical report to the IMF, it is seen that is the Indians uses their money for National Reconstruction, it is possible to build 4 lane road to any village from Delhi, everyone can be fed atleast twice daily and everyone will have adequate housing and clothing facilities ! Well the Govt. till date has taken some measure to curb out the black money.
                                  The Govt. has now entered into a treaty with the Germany and Switzerland for getting a list of the account holders in the bank. Accordingly with help of the Supreme Court, they have issued notices to the account holders and as Govt. has promised to declare the names of the account holders to the Indian public. Well Govt. seems to act a little but this was to be done in the past only. And still more interesting is that many of the ministers themselves have their accounts in those banks, but when the name will be declared then only we'll know the truth. Black money, as declared by the Supreme Court, in it's true sense is the theft of the Indian wealth. But now we just have to keep our eyes on the updates. May they who betrayed Indians' get not anything less than death. JAI HIND !

India of My dreams: Is the dream real ?

                                         In the country where in school this kind of essays are being told to write in the books, the other is making a sluggish offer on the minds of the students. "India of my dreams" what a good topic, just till the theoretical limit, ofcource but not in practical. There are many reasons for noe to right on such a topic. I shall not be referring to the what India must be but to What India actually is.
                                          2010: The year of scams and scandals in India. Corruption, bribe, health, population, UN are some of the major challenges before the Indian economy. Commonwealth Scam, Aadarsh housing scam, 2G spectrum.....whoosh.... if these money would have been used for the development surely little bit progress would have been achieved by is, but no effect by it. 64 years have passes for the Independence of the country but still it is backward in its thought and actions and still more important- Law. In the latest news to tell of is the Cairo Revolution. Those Indians that have been affected by it were very much safely brought by the Air India in our country. But in its background what happened is that Air India charged double than the original rate where other countries offered a free transportation to their citizens. Can you now see that when our citizen is in danger how India treats it- playing profit and loss at such situations.
                                         The 2G Spectrum have cost the Govt. a total sum of 1.76 Crores, if we makes total sum of all the scams in the past history of India, still this amount outnumbers it ! After 3 months of just 'investigation' in the words what CBI says it, first FIR has been filed now in February. This shows how much slow the investigation is going on our soil. Speaking of the Aadarsh probe, FIR has been filed to no effect coming out of it. The case takes so much of the time pending in the court that the verdicts die of the old age still the case remains pending. I think this will only happen in these cases. It is seen that whenever there is a pressure of the media from outside then only the courts act. Why does this happen ? It means that common man has no justice in India: justice is run only by those who have manpower and money-power. Whenever there is a disagreement over a issue in the youths now-a-days, study shows that they resort to violence in 90 out of 100 cases.
                                          India is on the rank of 87 in the countries that are least corrupted, the rank of India has slipped by 3 from what it was in 2006. I dont say that there is no Anti-Corruption Bureau in India. But you will be surprised to know that ACB's alo for filing a case demand bribe, ha, corruption in Anti-corruption. Some cases were reported in UP that when there a fire accident, the fire fighters always came on time but for extinguishing the fire they demanded the bribe of Rs.5000/-. Now what you will do if your house is on fire ? You will surely have to pay the bribe to get your work done.
                                          The main thing for which our freedom fighters fought was to leave in harmony without any differences in the cast, creed, race, social inequality. But after looking at the communal riots that are shooking the country not only endangers our brotherhood but it may some day lead to the division of India (May that day never come till the end of the universe). None of the politicians except a few handful, appropriately to say- that can be counted on fingers, have love towards the nation. They just loot the people, that too their own countrymen.....what a shame ! We also write in the essay that we will voluntarily help cleaning India not only of the dirt but also of the dirty people. But in practical where does that saying goes.
                                         Well, we write everything to get the best out of others but think over it and try it in the practical life and see how Indians bow to you. In India there also a very much influence of the religious practices that are inhuman almost. Inspite of the Indian Renaissance, I am forced to say that India still requires one more renaissance. These ill-human practices have often cost the lives of small children, but still the communities never realize what they should have before ! Also people in the backward region goes to the religious courts instead of the legal ones and whatever inhuman punishment like beating 100 lashes or so is given, it's willingly accepted by the people.
                                        Alas ! Fie upon the fate that none except a handful want to change completely this country, not only in its progress but also in its outlook. So India of My Dreams: Is the Dream Real, you all would have got its answer now that the dreams is unreal untill and unless the youth and the people are rady to change, till they accept the moden outlook and till they dont realize the importance of the oath take everyday at school- India is my country. All Indians are my brothers and sisters........ So I urge you the reader to give your voluntary self-service for uplifting our great motherland and making it in it's true sense sujalam and sufalam. "Together we can make a difference." Jai Hind !

Govt. just "showing up" responsibility ?

                                      Well after the shocking incident of Yashwant Sonavne, I think the government still hasn't awakened. The Govt., I admit is only corrupted but they don't have any sense of responsibility toward the masses, that what the masses are suffering and what are and maybe the consequences of the same. The shocking news that had spread like a wildfire came on January 25th, 2011, that some oil mafias have burnt alive a ADM while he was making a shooting of the black oil mixing in the petrol.
                                       Everybody, including the central government was stunned after hearing about this horrifying incident. I have personally tried to find out the causes for this deadly incident. From my point of view it mainly includes:
  1. The corrupt police department play a major role in this. They are being bribed (of-course they willingly accept it) for continuing the hardcore, bad and implicit business of the mafia. So directly the mafias and police force are best friends. 
  2. The local political leaders not only support this business but they must have partnership in it. Without the political support such happening in our country is quite impossible. The culprit must not be having fear of the arrest as the police as well as the political system stood by them.
  3. Lack of action by the police is also one of the major cause of this I think. Even if considering that the local police do not support the business then why didn't they took action after knowing about the illegal business of oil mafias ? Was the police force (probably the only hope of security of common man) was sleeping for these days ?
    4. Lack of fear of the rest of the world. The mafias didn't had the fear of the             other common people as they never raise voice against it. And even if                     anyone try to raise voice against it, they were sure to destroy his household. 

                                 India is not new to such of the incidents as many of these kinds have already taken place but were not responded to by the media. But this incident became so outraged that 17 lac government servants went on strike. But to no effect. The corrupted council of chief minister now start thinking that merely to stop the people from angry feeling against the government. The government by having raids on the mafias in these 4-5 days just want to prove that our government is very serious about the issue of the oil, sand and milk mafias. Every government is corrupt I admit it again but not till the end of any ADM's life. In a country where Afzal guru and Ajmal Aamir Kasab, the one who killed so many are still alive, what fear these mafias have after looking at them ? I thats why really impress that we are federal in nature and democratic too. But the people are taking much advantage of it. So I think a communist or a dictator type government will surely solve our crisis if the people take to the wits-end. 
                                  What impression the youth is getting in our country. It is said that "violence breeds violence." And I'll surely admire it if it makes our country strong. Take example of China and Russia. In Russia these cases alaong with terrorism occur but do you know what happens with the culprits if they are found alive. The news doesn't come of it, because they execute the culprits themselves and no pardon is granted. But the law process is so much slow in India that the punishment takes decades and still the culprit is not sentenced. The laws such be so strict and so fast that no one should even dare to stand against it. The government has started the raids everywhere but you and me both know for how much long it will last and how many will be really sentenced ?  Most of them escape unhurt due to bribing the judges and political interaction. See people yourself how are the people really at heart- merciless. Well mercy is not my topic. Just I wanted to make you aware of the fact that what kind of petrol or diesel your are filling in your car tanks- all mixed and adulterated.... Well at last, if you come across anything such like that feel free to contact the nearest police station (even of they dont act, we know, then also). Call a revolution against it. And finally "Together we can make a difference." Jai Hind !
