Normal And Abnormal

Part IV (Continued from yesterday) According to Abraham Lincoln a democratic government is - of the people, by the people and for the people. As per the report of Economic Times there are 94.5 crores voters for the ensuing Lok Sabha election. As per democratic norms the government to be formed after the election will be of the 94.5 crores voters and their under aged family members, and that government will be said to be by the people and again it is is believed that it is for the people. If the government is within true democratic norms it cannot become corrupt. That is, the tax money of the people cannot be swindled by a few people in front of all preventive systems. In our democracy we cannot ensure safety of life of about half of the population (women). The GDP - PCI growth cannot remain disproportionate and a section continue to remain below poverty line, if the government is truly and fully of the people, by the people and for the people. The so called democracy is onl...

Part III (Continued from yesterday)   (Nehru and Patel, courtesy     Getty) There are three things that can be seen as the most adverse in the level of assessment of a country. Number one amongst those is the widespread corruption in our country. Number two is the safety of women in our country. The threat faced by women is not confined to any part of the country but throughout. According to the report by NCRB rape cases reported in 2020 were 3,71,503, in 2021 it went upto 4,28,278 and further went upon 2022 to 4,45,256. Women in India is in a pathetic state. As a corrective measure as we we have discussed earlier this issue should also be included in the school syllabus. While counting the serious issues of our country another important aspect is our per capita income. As we have discussed earlier in PCI we rank 120 out of 179 countries whereas we are in the fifth position in GDP. Based on 2019s PPP International Comparison according to the United Nation...

Part II Continued from yesterday           Dr B R Ambedkar Panchayats , Municipalities, State Legislators and National Parliament put together there are 2,77,671 elected members who are entrusted with various decision making. If they fail to take the right decision at the right time some time it may cost heavily to the country. Further to this there are innumerable media reports about some politicians in power swindle huge amount of public money. Though there are ways and means to find out the truth behind the media reports in many cases the people get a feeling that the media reports are not effectively enquired upon. Why it is happening so? The reason behind these are that in most cases the corruption is not a single hand action. It is a chain of action and therefore, the sharing the sum involved in by a large number of people. However, there are absolutely honest people can be found everywhere. And that make the crime leaked out and sometimes reac...

    The Parliament of India.   Image courtesy, India Today   Despite having the required means in the form of natural resources and with a large strength of young manpower we are not able to reach the top layer of wealthy nations. According to Forbes India report dated 7.2.2024 of the top 10 largest economies in the world for 2024, India stands at number five while USA, China, Germany, Japan are ahead of us. When it is  brought into per capita income (ppp) of 2022, it is totally shaken. In a list of 179 countries India's ranking is 120. Our PCI is $ 8,379. Luxembourg ($ 1,42,214), Singapore ($ 1,27,565), Ireland ($ 1,26,905) Norway ($ 1,14,899) Qatar ($ 1,14,648) etc are on top of the list. In women's safety index of 146 countries of 2023 India stands at 127.  All these are the after effect of corruption in our country. Various estimates put the amount of black money from India anywhere between $ 181 billion and $ 1.8 trillion. Another esti...

King Philip IV  (1621 - 1665) of Spain was known as the Planet King (El Rey Planeta). This name came because his kingdom never had sun set. A German is believed to have said that a Prussian King Frederick the Great in 1756 gifted the moon to his ancestors. Though there are stories about kings who had imaginarily extended their power across the solar system, we may  also find that as on today, thousands of people belonging to many countries hold novelty deeds to show having purchased land in Moon, Mars and other planets from private companies. Many rich Indians too are possessing documents of ownership of land in Moon and Mars. We may say those are imaginary possessions. If that is so our possessions in this earth too are imaginary possessions. Before man comes to the earth, different regions on the earth were under the control of powerful and not so powerful animals. After the arrival of man on the earth he created large region in the forest and open green land...
