WHAT'S THAT DETERMINES ELECTION RESULTS IN INDIA

Image
Amazingly a good number of Indian voters going to the polling booths with no much knowledge about the candidate or the party for whom they want to vote. In some cases the voters have a traditional feeling that their father and grandfather voted to this party, so that they too will vote for the same party. In some other cases the village heads reported to have advised the whole villagers much about voting including the procedures, to which the people strictly adhere to. In some cases the God Himself is brought to the scene and according to the advice of the Supreme One they decide the candidate.(No one may agree this openly and it would be difficult to prove the purity of our democracy. There were also what's app message showing chicken and something else distributed to the public. It would be difficult to prove that the receivers are prospective voters) As per the Census report of 2011, 39.4 percent of the population are illiterates, 37.6 percent...

FIND AN END TO POLITICS IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

Image
Despite possessing immense natural resources and large manpower to exploit we Indians prefer to be called a poor country. We make no attempt to become the richest country in the world. We still maintain about one fourth of our population below poverty line in international standard. Our successive rulers find no shame in this. Corruption is rampant in our country. Not even a feeble attempt is made to eradicate this cancerous vice from our society. If a government earnestly wishes we can make this country corruption free within thirty days. But who is there to wish! Now, if India really want to target  economic and social development of international level, our prime attempt should be to eradicate politics from schools and colleges. If anyone is adamant to learn politics both theoretically and practically let there be  few political universities. All there practical experiments should be strictly confined within their college campus. Under no circumstances they shou...

ANOTHER WORLD AROUND US !

Image
(Nature's painting of a Rabbit on the sky) Can you imagine that you are living in an area surrounded by high Walls. We can neither see anything outside the wall nor hear anything from there. Sometimes while jumping we may get a glimpse of something outside. Since it is only for a short while, we cannot identify anything from that vision. That may be in a different dimension. However some abnormal or unseen things fell into our vision remain with us for some time.  Normally we call these visions as dreams. Depending upon the clarity of the vision and post analysis of what is seen we may interpret and disclose to others. Normally they may not get any idea of it is all about. Then, sometimes together we may keep interpreting it. These can be based on our aspirations, fear etc. There may not be any imaginary vision registered in our eyes. It is like a camera. All photos taken are real only. Nothing imaginary. However in the absence of proper light or irregular focusing the ...

CAN INDIA MAKE A QUANTUM LEAP IN ECONOMIC FRONT?

Image
If a poor to become rich, plenty of hard work, adequate knowledge and excellent tactics are required. Whereas a rich to become richer nothing but timely decision only needed. India is a rich country. In order to make us richer, what we need are timely decisions and quick follow ups. I wish to submit a three point formula for us to make a quantum leap in the economic front. While two of these will give instant returns, the third one will strengthen the base. The first of the three is, eliminate corruption completely from this country. This will be a stern measure towards the growth of the economy. It will ensure that every investment shall reach at the right end and every disbursement shall reach the appropriate hands. Huge, rather unmeasurable sum of money is pumped out of our country every year. May be a larger sum might be hidden within our country with no reproductive scope. If these dead money is brought into legitimate circulation, every Indian and the country as a who...
