HIGH EARNING, NO RESTRICTIONS AND NO PREREQUISITES !

There is only one profession that can offer one high position and high returns. And that is politics. No prerequisite for educational qualifications, age, health, character verification or any such things. No retirement age too. Over and above these liberal provisions, many things come under free category or under highly subsidised prices. In every other profession the master invite the servants through media ads or other means. In the cases of politicians they are never invited by anyone but jump to the master with a free service offer, pull the chair and sit.

Time passes away. The self offered free service servant fix his salary and perks, declare items which are to be provided free and at nominal prices. Then the free service member ask money from the people for the service to be rendered. Members of Indian parliament enhanced their salary from Rs 50,000/- to Rs 1 lakh  per month in 2018. This makes their annual earning
to $ 17,424/- (£ 13,188/-) When the annual salary hike is about 10% for all other employees in the country parliamentarians themselves made a 100% hike in their salary. Further to this as per Sec 10(17) of Income Tax Act 1961 income by way of daily allowance and constituency allowance received by MLAs and MPs are exempted from taxes subject to certain conditions. However, it is also a fact that salary of Indian parliamentarians is far lower than many countries of the world. According to available information Rs 176 crores were paid by the Government of India to their 543 MPs last year. That makes Rs 2.7 lakh per month per MP.

Now looking at the largest democracy in the world, we must be one of the most unsafe countries in the world. In order to confirm it one may find the number of murders, number of rape cases, number of attacks on women and the number of thefts and burglaries takes place in our country every day. Monetory and other corruption is rampant in our country. Our parliamentarians who are bound to prevent these and protect their masters look helpless in all these criminal activities.

      Each one of us is responsible this. We ourselves are bound to rectify this. The only way out is to save the coming generation from this. In order to have that fundamental change we have to revamp the entire educational system. Let us start with the change of school syllabus. All the corrections needed in the society should be incorporated in the school syllabus. If we can effectively manage this a better tomorrow can be expected.
