Governance and Indian Nationalism (GAIN)

"The most important thing to do today is to generate enthusiasm. No economy can improve if people feel defeated and become risk-averse. Therefore, we have to bring the positive feeling back by implementing measures that would revive the outlook. The other step that should be taken is increase the savings rate, help people save more, as this would translate into more investment which in turn would boost growth." -- Dr. Subramanian Swamy  Nearly 35-40 million Indians pay taxes annually; however, only 1% of the total tax payers account for a major chunk of tax collections. For the remaining tax payers, filing returns is a complex process involving extensive paperwork.  While skeptics highlight an annual loss of INR 2.47 lakh crores of revenues; they tend to overlook the inherent benefits (monetary as well as non-monetary) that will accrue with such a system. Moreover, the system of zero taxation is also working effectively in nearly 15 other countries around the world.

Arvind Kejriwal who shot to limelight during Anna's movement has now created his space in Indian politics. He has become the CM of Delhi and is now smartly working towards his next goal of destabilizing India which is the main agenda of his entering Indian politics. While many Delhites, who innocently voted for AAP, see its victory as a victory of anti-corruption, they don't realize that the actual control of Delhi still wrests with Congress -- the party they rejected in Delhi Assembly elections.  Kejriwal's rise highlights the vulnerability of Delhi voters who easily fell for rhetoric and false promises. Quite often, Indians have shown a propensity to choose an option which has led to India's undoing. Trends over the last 66 years indicate that whenever Congress was surrounded by serious corruption charges, it leveraged the weakness of voters to manipulate a confused verdict.  Therefore intentions of Kejriwal are pertinent to understand, given the continuous fl

Communal Violence Bill is not just a recipe to polarize Muslim and Christian votes in favor of Congress, it is a blueprint to dis-integrate the entire social fabric of India.   Indian National Congress (INC) is an anti-Hindu party whose sole objective is to destroy Hinduism. As Congress is anticipating its decimation in LS-2014, it is attempting every possible means to suppress the Indian majority. One such step is Communal violence bill which the Congress is quite keen to pass before contesting LS elections. When I read the bill, it reminds me the statement of Akbaruddin Owaisi -- "If Indian police doesn't interfere for 15 mins, then we will finish off all the Hindus from India"  It seems that Congress has taken cue from Owaisi's statement and is now trying for complete subjugation of Indian Hindus. Let me also remind that we have a duty to understand CVB completely and oppose it with all our energies unless we are ok with slaughter of our own brethren OR o

Post India's independence, last 5 years can be attributed as the most turbulent time of our country. Although our country faced number of external and internal challenges in the form of wars, famine and sluggish economy  during the last 66 years, but it never was so much vulnerable as it is today. The vulnerability has risen due to the invisible nature of attacks which are not aimed to cause a physical harm but to cause a permanent psychological harm. The primary objective of such attacks is to facilitate willing submission of Indians to vested interests.  While forms of such external attacks are subtle, they have been consistently reinforced on millions of Indian minds to effect the required changes in the thought processes. Such consistent reinforcements have gradually led the Indians to believe in farce reality. As a result, many of our fellow citizens are unable to accept that India is under threat from such forces.  Understanding the nature of attacks and their form

If you can't win, then spoil BJP's victory by allowing a cheap 3rd grade party to contest elections. –   This is not Dirty Tricks but OLD Congress strategy  Arvind Kejriwal formed Aam Admi Party (AAP) to introduce corruption free governance in India; however, his party seems to be faltering even before achieving any victory. On the face, it seems that these are mere accusations but a deeper insight indicates that Kejriwal's political journey is loaded with lies. It also tells us that Mr. Kejriwal is offering nothing but a slightly refined version of BSP and SP in Delhi. If that is the case, then we (the common citizens) should reject AAP from the very beginning.  Just recently, Mr. Kejriwal also had to confront some genuine questions against the functioning of his party which he completely failed to address. Given that AAP is a new party, Mr. Kejriwal should take extra care in setting an example; however, his attitude signifies that AAP was never formed to offer

Media and Ethics in India are inversely proportional because nowdays you will rarely find media to perform a true, investigative and fair role in broadcasting news. No doubt it has become the most fertile ground to run propagandas for political parties and large business houses. Money is the underlying motivation to showcase news that favor selective clients.   Media is playing a role of a " Pure-play Mercenary " whose only objective is revenue maximization through any means i.e. ethical or unethical. Since, these pure-play media mercenaries are prone to adopt unethical methods of revenue maximization, the Congress and Communists are their natural allies. However, the Congress has taken complete control over these media houses. Under such circumstances, how can the public expect that the news on media channels are not unbiased. While most of the businesses follow Organic or Inorganic growth strategies to increase their market share and influence, Indian media adopts t

सरस्वति महाभागे विद्ये कमललोचने। विद्यारूपे विशालाक्षि विद्यां देहि नमोऽस्तु ते॥ Oh Great Goddess Sarasvati! The embodiment of knowledge! One with broad eyes beautiful like lotus petals! Learning Solidified! My salutations to you. Grant me the knowledge. Sanskrit is the fountainhead of all languages on earth – that is why Sanskrit is popularly known as the mother of all languages. The word Sanskrit indicates perfection as explained below: Sanskrit = Sam + Krit Sam means entirely, wholly OR perfectly; AND Krit means done When we add Sam and Krit, we get Sanskrit which means 'perfectly done'. All our scriptures namely the Vedas, Upanishads and Puranas were originally written in Sanskrit which highlights its relevance . In ancient times, Sanskrit was the preferred mode of communication amongst rishis as well as the common man. During those times, our ancestors used Sanskrit in every field – for example, trade, education, research & development an
