3 Years of Modi Sarkar - A Review
India’s Ban
Mania – Cattle Market Prohibition Illustrates how
we suffer from too many restrictions
It
is commonplace to say that India suffers from poor governance Less commonplace
is to query why this should be the case. There can be worse answers than
pointing at how too many laws imposed by a leviathan state are too heavy a
burden on people. Forcing people to live at the margins of the law is bad for
governance. One, it promotes general disrespect for the law. Two, ambiguously
worded laws and red tape make it easier for authorities to harass people,
incentivizing corruption. Three, heavy-handed laws promote the growth of vigilantes
and therefore general lawlessness in society. When it comes to laws and
regulation there can certainly be too much of a good thing.
Unfortunately,
this is not a premise that has been realized during the years NDA has been in
office-although, to be fair, opposition-ruled states or even courts have been
as quick to breach this principle as BJP has (witness draconian prohibition
laws introduced by the Bihar government, or the supreme Court ban on liquor
within 500 meters of highways).
Is this my
country? A story of alienation and divisivesness –
Divisions The feeling of distrust between
the BJP government and Muslims in U.P. has grown after the recent assembly
elections, Often branded ‘anti-national the community is disturbed at the
increasing polarization. They are petrified and feel quite disturbed and away
from the main stream.
We are
loosing the shine of INDIA ‘The Unity in Diversity’ So Much talked about the
First Prime Minister of India Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru
We have to
decide – Are we
Secular
Indian / Liberal Indian or / Communal Indian
Stakes are
high, are we the people of India Vigilant.
