BJP leader and eminent economist, Dr Subramanian Swamy, invited as a Chief Speaker at a recent webinar of TiE on "Making India Succeed", spoke at length on India's existing challenges and viable solutions to address these challenges. However, Dr Swamy categorically focused on three major areas, which will help to improve India's world status and restore the country's past glory.
These are explained below:
Improve the state of Economy
- Abolish income tax to boost consumption and savings among households.
- Bring down interest rates on business loans up to the level of 6% p.a for MSMEs.
- Increase interest rate on FDs to 9% per annum to facilitate higher savings from households.
- Build roads to connect all villages with nearby towns. This will improve connectivity, reduce unemployment, increase purchasing power and spur demand.
Social Revolution
- Indians must start believing in themselves as belonging to the same ancestral tree and identify themselves as product of one civilization.
- Even before independence, India was one country and shared the same cultural values, ethos and heritage.
- Aryan-Dravidian divide is a concocted theory deliberately imposed to create divisions between North and South India. However people from both parts of India share the same DNA and the only difference is the color of skin which is due to pigmentation.
- Focus on the revival of Sanskrit by encouraging its use within households. This will help to restore Bharat's 10,000 years old cultural glory.
Equal Treatment of Women
India has had a history of strong women warriors who happily embraced death instead of kneeling before the opponents. The likes of Queen of Jhansi, Rani Chenamma, and Rani Ambakka Chowta had unsettled the mightiest of opponents. The modern Indian women carry the same warrior blood in their veins and therefore, they are no less than men in any respect. Moreover, we are living in a knowledge driven environment, where physical strength does not matter as much as mental strength.
Western cultural influence has led to deterioration in the perception of women, which has resulted in increased incidences of their ill treatment. Nonetheless, earnest efforts must be made to respect & treat women with honor and dignity. Education for equality of women and girl child must begin from the early childhood to usher in a change in mindset of the new generation.
Well said Sir. Hope these points will be enforced soon by the respective government
