Bhakto, Moderate Andhbhakto And Andh Bhakto

It is well known and all say “Modi Hai Toh Mumkin Hai”. Keeping this slogan in mind if few suggestions to our PM Modi Sir. a) Rationalize income tax. Exemption limit to be raised to Rs. 5 Lakes for all categories up to Rs. 20 Lakes not more then 20% taxation. b) Excise on petroleum products to be managed so that petrol prices do note exceed Rs. 75/- lt. & diesel remains Rs. 65/- Lt. & bellow. c) Rationalize GST. 3 – 5 – 8 – 15 %. And certainly not to exceed 18%. This Would ensure larger sales thus ensuring more GST collection for the exchequer. d) RBI is supposed to be a Central Bank, to be an independent body. Basic objective is to regulate the monitory policy. Now it appears to be a Govt. Bank ? e) Similarly SC has become a govt. dictated body, like the President of India. Often opposition leaders are wasting their time to approach the president for various appeal which is of no consequences. f) The US elections (specially Donald Trump followed Indian way) He had conceived that he is their only to – win come what may. He even managed a chaos Capital Hill. He dint expect the defeat till the last. What a writer his has commented “After The American Carnage, New US President Joe Biden will need to heal and rebuild on so many fronts. But president Biden’s biggest job will be to heal the wounds inflicted on American democracy. In light of recent events, he probably wishes there was a vaccine against demagoguery. TOI, 22, January 2021 Snippets 1- Digital education cannot substitute for real learning…Starting at a screen learners only act as remote receptors of what’s beamed. Says, Anita Rampal former deam faculty of education Delhi University. 2- Prakram Diwas v/s “Desh Nayak Diwas”. Friends you would recall OP Prakram following 13th December, 2001 attack on India Parliament. OP Prakram proved to be a complete failure in the time of NDA-1.

Political Turmoil – 12 / 2020 - 27 December, 2020

Friends & Critics A- On Armed Force’s Pension – An Individual was parachuted and hoisted to head the Indian Army by super seeding two of his senior’s. After doing his full tenure he was further kicked-up to mess the affairs of the whole of defense forces. And he is bent upon fingering the pension’s of the Armed Forces. I suggest that the govt. should seriously first consider rationalizing the pension being offered to the elected representatives. a) For legislative representatives – Pension only if a person complete five tenures in the assembly. b) For MP’s – Only if an individual completes minimum two continues tenures or a total of three tenures as MP’s. c) MLA’s & MP’s PAYS should be reduced by 50%. Other allowances should be reduced by 75%. d) It would be also logical to lay down certain educational qualifications. Even for Peon, Drivers, Mali, Guard, Safaiwala’s, and all 4th class post Some qualifications are laid down. e) The Govt. can’t temper with the pension benefit to the existing lot. It would be prudent for the govt. to make the entry and exit policies, attractive to draw in right and appropriate levels of candidate into the arms forces. B- On Agri Reforms – If the reforms were so good why ? An ordinance. The proposal should have been put in Loksabha- debated and enacted as a law. With majority in both houses NDA should not have problem. Now a better suggestion is - Repel – and – Renact. C- BJP’s Aim – Every election is to be won – come whatever may happen ? Create and position Gangsters in the election states and generate ante religious fervor. JHAGRE KARO AUR JIMMEDARI DUSRO KE UPER DALO. D- Love Jihad – Objective to create a threat in the minority community and keep them petrified. Snippets 1- Distorting A great Religion – FIR against Netfix film betrays not just intolerance but also ignorance about Hinduism. The problem with the ultra-Hindu right is that its aggression is in inverse proportion is in inverse proportion to its knowledge. These self-anointed guardians of Hinduism are trying to make it run on Talibani diktats – Says Pawan Verma. 2- Weak Pretext – Citing Covid to skip winter session repeats past mistakes of bypassing Parliament. – Editorial TOI 3- Situation in East – Ladakh. After Doklam China was preparing its Military Action in East Ladakh. As reported these preparation were going on for last three years. This can be easily compared with what Pakies did in Kargil Sector in the year 1999.

Political Turmoil – 11 / 2020 (22, November, 2020)

Friends & Critics – The TIME MAGAZINE Dated – 12th October Published a list of 100 most influential people of the world. The chosen three are Discussed in brief A- Donald Trump – The disrupter. With all 230 gleaming feet of Air Force One stretched out behind him on a recent September evening, I president D.T. told a campaign rally in Freeland, Mich, “We are changing Washington.” Though the MAN stands defeated, but he is shameless, and he is not accepting his ouster. B- XI JINPING – Total control. XI may yet come to regret that he is now effectively china’s leader for life. C- Nrendra Modi – Weakening democracy. The key to democracy is not, in fact, free elections. Those only tell who got the most votes. More important is the rights of those who did not vote for the winner. Comment a) Trumped, Trumpism Lives. Joe Biden will govern a deeply divided nation and low by the Coronavirus - Says Saswanto R Das. b) Winds of Change Joe Bidden and Kamala Harris should return America to decency and competence.-Says TOI c) On Economy – C Rangnathan, D Subbarow, and M. Rangrajan Three former RBI Governors Stated that D-monetization was to quite an extent responsible for economic slowdown. Bank functioning is in doldrums. d) Modi Ji – Looses two big friends one in Galwan Valley. Also loosses Trump for whome he did enough canvassing in US as well as in India. ABKI BAR TRUMP SARKAR. e) Post-RCEP, Where Does India Stand? India’s absence from Southeast and East Asian economic groups could be isolating. India’s weak economy and its absence from the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which will be world’s largest free trade area, raise questions about its role in Asia. ARE WE ON THE RIGHT TRACK OF OUR FOREIGN POLICY INITIATIVES ? Snippets LOVE JIHAD – Latest fad. Coined by ultra Right Fundamentalist elements “To isolate and petrify minorities.

Political Turmoil – 10 / 2020 25 October 2020

Friends & Critics –Few wards on happenings in EAST OF LADDAKH & GALWAN VELLY Four months violent face-offs, increasing points of military conflict, intensifying military build-up, banning of 177 Chinese apps, check on Chinese investments by India, and an inconclusive meeting between the defense ministers of India and China on September 4 in Moscow. Is an India-China war inevitable? The questions is uppermost in many minds. a) Military view – A 1967 NATHULA Another flashpoint was Nathula a mountain pass in Sikkim (then a kingdom, but an Indian protectorate)-sandwiched between Bhutan, Chinese-ruled Tibet and Nepal. During a series of clashes in Nathu La and Cho La, Some 80 Indian soldiers died. Idnia counted up to 400 Chinese casualties. b) 1975 TULUNG LA– This skirmish was the last time shots were officially fired across the border and four Indian soldiers were ambushed and killed. Recently, Chinese troops abducted five hunters from the Nacho area, the last administrative circle along the McMahon Line in Arunachal Pradesh. c) Other Reasons – China has not fought a war in over four decades. Under the circumstances, where China stands internationally isolated. India certainly isn’t keen to escalate the situation. d) Most Important – by occupying the heights, India has improved its bargaining position. It may be tough for the PLA to accept. The heights are occupied by no less then SFF Troops. Special force created in 1963 to capture TIBET only. Which is part of RAW. Possible Solution – A summit is to be called between MODI and XI. No egos. May be organized at a neutral place like – Nepal – Bangladesh – Sri Lanka or even Singapore. Agenda – suggested. “Let-us define the LAC. Withdrawal of the troops to pre April – 2020 dates. Create a no conflict Zone. Even ff required compromise economic bans imposed by India”. We have to be very bold and not be involved in Chest Thumping. Snippets A- India will not cede even an inch of territory: Says Rajnath Singh. RM of India B- Peace along LAC disturbed impacted India-China ties. Border issue is A very Complicated and Difficult Matter: Says jaishankar FM of Idnia.

Economist state 1st stage Demonetization, 2nd stage ill conceived GST and poorly implemented. 3rd stage poorly managed Macro level economic activities. D- National Security LAC – Chinese have comfortably occupied positions between fingers 4 and 8 since first weak of May – 2020. These positions have given them strategic advantage in the GALWAN VALLY.
