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 !

World's Biggest Black Money Market: India.

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 !

India of My dreams: Is the dream real ?

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 !

Govt. just "showing up" responsibility ?

The Public Distribution System in India.

                                                
                                                       Well,  the Public Distribution System as we know are the fair prices shops located all over India that give essential goods to the consumers (especially to the BPL population)  at a cheap price. But the number of these PDS shops have grown over the years subsequently its development cannot be seen. Lets see some of its facts:

                                                         Though the number of the PDS shops have crossed 5,00,000 since its inception but still no improvement in its facilities. The PDS stock comes from the reserved stock of the Government of India, but that stock is so much piled up that it is getting spiders and rodents. This defect is mainly due to the less outtake from the PDS shops and its maldistribution and wrong storage methods due to the unskilled workers. The PDS stock sometimes doesn't reach to the shops because if the food corruption. The distributers sometimes take their share while delivering it and take so much that nothing is left behin.., the poor are told that the stock hasn't arrived yet and he has to pay a high price of his hunger.

                                                       A study carried out by the committe appointed by Hon'ble Supreme Court of India following results were got:




The rotting food stocks of PDS in Govt. godowns

 

After touring various states and scrutinising the operation of PDS system through fair price shops, the committee headed by retired Supreme Court judge Justice D P Wadhwa used following terminology for different states:

* PDS in the state has collapsed (Rajasthan)

* PDS system is glaring example of what the system ought not to be (Jharkhand)

* beneficiaries get ration of a month after a delay of 3-4 months (Bihar)

* fair price shop owners admitted they bribe officials concerned even to get FPS licence and pay monthly bribe (Gujarat)

* appointment of grain storage agents susceptible to high political influence (Orissa)

* enforcement lax, collusion between officials, investigating agencies, dealers, wholesalers and other vested interests (Karnataka)

* foodgrain sold at excessive prices at the fair price shops (Uttarakhand)

But the most damning comments were reserved for Delhi, the national capital. Apart from terming the PDS as inefficient and corrupt, the committee said in its report to the apex court that "there is largescale diversion and black marketing of PDS foodgrain".

                                                    You will be surprised to know that the corruption in the PDS system is Rs 3,58,00,00,000 per year(358 crore/year) isn't that a whooping amount ! The shop owners often ask for a bribe to the poor (about 61% people admit that), the bribe taken is mostly shared by the owner and the distributer. The shop owners often keep odd timing of the shops so as to limit its access to the people. In most of the cases it was found that shop owners keep shops open a the dawn and close it suddenly. Artificial hoarding of the goods is one of the most important factor contributing to the hunger of the poor. For more details in a good view format please visit : PDS Survey . The PDS stocks sometimes doesn't reach the villages due to their poor transport system. The poor are often mispriced by the shop owners.

                                                    Can you believe that this is the condition of the place from where the poor in India tries to fulfill his daily needs. Can you now see the injustice on your brothers and the sisters ? Have you any answer to this ? The answer is surely "no". But we may change it as I always say "Together we can make a difference." If you come across any injustics from the PDS on the poor feel free to phone call at: 6573 4444. JAI HIND!

                                             

The Public Distribution System in India.

Corruption: The Indian menace.....

                             India what we and the world says as the land of values is somewhere degrading. The values are being lost in the wake and the back-light of being wealthy. All the world is suffering from the menace of the corruption but none other than a vast, largest democracy and the second fastest developing economy like India will be affected by it. Corruption has become everyday topic of the discussion of the  (awakened) youth. It has affected various strata of our society. Let's talk in briefly about some facts of the corruption.
                              Now the issue of corruption is such that none in our country can be added to its exception. Corruption is everywhere. From a "tahasildar", maybe till the highest post in India (President). India is the second largest growing economy in the world. But its most dangerous challenge is the corruption. In India the people are the main cause of the corruption. Whenever a official demands bribe people are openly giving it.

                                      See the above video even if you don't read the blog post. According to the World Anti-Corruption report 2007, India ranked 72nd in the world's most corrupted list, while in the list declared at the end of 2010, India dropped to 87th rank ! A fall by 15 ranks in the list. While USA has backed a position of 22nd and Norway ranked 1st. Thus you may see that India's rank is falling day by day. In India the most main problem lies due to the poor judiciary. Whenever a man files a case against the corrupt officer, the justice gets so delayed that the work of the man remains pending for a long duration. So people in India generally give a small amount and get their work done. But no one thinks that because of his one bribe what will be effect on the economy of the nation. Bribe means black money on which no tax is paid. Hence, literally this is the theft of the Indian money.

                                The basic values that are being taught in the school, the teachers are only not imitating them, what will be the impression on the student who sees this. Todays Indian youth is mainly indulged in the creative activities, but he never realizes that cleaning the country of corruption is one of the most creative things. Youth in India has no give and take for the corruption. Very very few NGO's like AGNI in Mumbai, India unheard that is a video volunteer network etc. Do you know that the rate of corruption is so high in India that every 3rd Indian is corrupted. Well that's maybe a proud thing to be different, but that hampers our progress. Every one just criticizes the policies and the corrupt nature of the officials but no one dares to raise its voice.... why ? The most main reason for this is time and fear. People don't have time for this and secondly they fear of the execution techniques of violence followed by the victims. But Indian's listen, if this things would have had become a barrier then India would never have got independence. Just remember those great souls and go on for the struggle. I want to name an RTI activist Arun Mane in Pune. He is working for removing corruption voluntarily. Recently he was attacked and just suffered minor injuries due to his self defense. His mother was crying for him but he said that nothing had happened to him and these things wont detour his work against the corrupted.
                              Please readers if you come across any of the corrupted officer just make a contact to:-

Director,
 Anti Corruption Bureau,
 Maharashtra,
 1st Floor,
 Madhu Industrial Estate,
 Pandurang Budhkar Marg,
 Worli, Mumbai 400 013
 Tel: +91- 22 - 2492 1212.
                               Remember it that " Together we can make a difference."  Jai Hind.

Corruption: The Indian menace.....

Dead(ly) Weapons.....

                               First, my sincere salute to the defense personnel striving hard day and night for my and all ours security. In this post I am going to talk about India's "Deadly weapons." Why the alphabets 'ly' are strikeout you will surely understand in this post. Now in this post I am talking about the weapons in the Indian Navy, Air-force and the Indian Army.

Bofors Gun in India.

The Bofors.

                                I'll start from the Indian Army. The Indian army is one of the most bravest army in the world and also it is the third largest contingent in the world.But the types of the instruments and the weapons that are provided to them are worth consideration point. Indian army, frankly speaking has technology of more than 40 years old. Indian Army mainly uses the Bofors Guns, that were purchase more than 25 years ago. After the incident of the Quattrochi income tax case, none of the Government since then has ordered new guns in the Indian army. So our Jawans have to rely on that old technology only. Further speaking more the Indian army has guns that were used in the war of 1971. Can you imagine its efficiency ! Well more stuff is remaining. Indian Army uses the Russian T-70 and the Russian T-72 tanks that were developed 30 years before. Indian Army still uses it and is not ready to retire it. Out of the total tanks that are used by the army, only 50 % have the capability to see in the night time, while comparing to the tanks of Pakistan they have tanks about 80% that can see in night while with the Chinese it is 100%. The guns in the Indian army are still not more developed than AK-47 when guns 100 times more efficient than these have been produced in the world. The Indian army still uses the communication technology that is 20-25 years old. So hacking maybe very much easy in the Indian Army. Further more the Indian Army does not more than a handsome amount of the border cams. Indian Army's corruption is on the verge of increase, so the funds that are sent by the Central Government are not been reaching to the main Defense line. Indian Army is not having the new fast means of transport, they still have to rely on the old trucks. They are not provided with the railway system as does the China. Now I think its enough of the Army now.

INS Virat

                                             Now in this segment I'll tell about the condition of the Indian Navy. In the Indian Navy there are less than a dozen of submarines, while on the other hand Chinese have reached upto 88.Indian Navy is doing very very slow progress in the technological and the evolution fields. The INS Virat, India's only aircraft carrier ship has got old age of nearly 50 years, but still Indian Navy wants it to serve for more years. Out of this India doesn't have any of the aircraft carrier. India's only atomic submarine will become operational in 2013, till then nothing. India's jet planes on the INS Virat have become 40 years old. They consume more fuel than what they give as the output. You may see its photos as I have added them. Also the helicopters that are used by the Indian Navy are 20 years old. Now I have this much only stuff for Navy.

Outdated plane on INS Virat.

Lets move on to the last segment in this post that is the Indian Airforce. The Indian Airforce I should truly say that those are the people that take their lives in their hands when they file those old and the outdated aircrafts. The Indian Airforce includes Russian Sukhoi aircrafts that are 30 years old. Also Indian Airforce have outdated MiG 22 and Mig 27 outdated aircrafts. Now these aircrafts have become so old that when will they collapse from the air cant say. These incidents have happened in the past but still Indian Airforce is not getting the new breeds of aircrafts. While China is very much advanced in this stage. They have just now developed the Chengdu J-20 aircraft, the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft. Indian Airforce doesn't have that standard aircraft that can survive in the intense heat or intense cold, while Pakistan and China are well ahead in it. The guns and the bombs that are used in the aircraft are to old to kill the advanced enemy. Well thats all.

 

Outdated MiG-29

The outdated Sukhoi.

Now finally I would just like to say that China is growing so fast in the military prowess that it will someday eat whole of India if these conditions are not cleared. Indian Defense personnel's aims and dedication are truly very very high. They say give us anything or dont give still we shall defend inch and inch of our land. So its our (Governments) responsibility to provide them with advance weapons. We spend 3lakh crore rupees in defence but still its very poor. We know that new recruitments are being done but very slowly. May it get a good pace. Again a salute to the wit and bravery and valor of the defense staff. JAI HIND.

Dead(ly) Weapons.....

Rahul Gandhi: "Speech without thinking."

                                  The young leader is all the set through a new and young generation. New Youth Congress is on the fire. But in the midst something is shaking the image of Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi's speeches have made a counter attack on him. This days he is on fire mainly because of his two speeches- (1) His speech revealed by the Wikileaks made before the Ambassador of US and (2) His recent speech on the coalition government.
                                   This young man said to the US Ambassador that " Radical Nationalist prove to be a great threat to India rather than the the outsider terrorists." Now let there be any Indian after hearing this words will surely get angry on him. Myself too is very much angry on him. Doesn't he recognizes that the greatest threat to India is not from Indian's but from the terrorist organization working against India in Pakistan ? So radical Nationalist have came in the point so I would like to mention that Lokmanya Balgangadhar Tilak was also a radical nationalist, a noteworthy freedom fighter. So isn't Rahul's speech a perfect harm to the nationalist sentiments of our freedom fighter ? Why he might be thinking that the radical nationalist are a potent threat to India he only knows. Also let he say anything but does he has any manners, to whom he is telling such things ? To the US embassy. Ha ! It doesn't seem good on his part to do such things. He will be a aviation expert but he's adding fuel to fire the national integrity. Really what Nitish Kumar said to him before Bihar's election is a good saying : "Rahul Gandhi wants to be Prime minister, first tell him become a chief minister of any state. Always he is giving speeches and suggestions to the chief ministers, first he should understand how hard is the work of the ministers."  A good fair play.
                                  Also in the next segment of this post I would like to talk about his recent speech on the coalition government. Rahul Gandhi says that " Coaliton government has its own limitations." I too accept that but it isn't thing to be said in the public speech. It may hurt the belief of the people that our government is working for us. The price rise has become a serious issue these days, when asked about why government isn't till now made prices down at that time Rahul answered that. NCP is very much disgraced by his speech. NCP says that his speech on the coalition was not based on the principles. Coalition may have some limitations but that should not become a hurdle in the policy of the government. Then till today many coalition have borne in the world but all those haven't displaced or misplaced. What I want to say is that Rahul Gandhi says anything without prior thinking.
                                   So at the end I would like to say that if anybody among you (the reader) meets him, just convey the message that "Think before you talk."
