India is an independent nation but Indians have not achieved freedom

India may be an independent nation but Indians will not achieve freedom until they redeem the loss of every single drop of blood sacrificed by their Heroes over the past 1,500 years. 

India is a rare country whose 10,000 to 12,000 years old civilization still exists and flourishes. Even in ancient times, Bharat was not only culturally rich but scientifically advanced as well. Past evidences also indicate that Bharatiyas have the best brains, be it in the field of Art, Science, Engineering, Commerce, Economics, Foreign Affairs OR Defence. 

Indian scientists, mathematicians and engineers introduced revolutionary concepts that changed the world forever -- For example, Aryabhat (zero), Baudhayan (pi), Kanad (atom theory), Varahamihira (hydrology, geology and ecology) and Charak (Indian medicine).    

India also produced Kshtrayias such as Rama, Arjuna, Bhishm Pitamah, Chandragupta Maurya, Ashoka, Vikramaditya, Prithviraj Chauhan, Maharana Pratap and Shivaji Maharaj who were skilled in warfare and war strategies. These people were strong because their identity was deeply rooted in the Bhartiya Sanskriti. 

During our freedom struggle as well, Bharat Mata gifted many fearless fighters in the form of Bhagat Singh, Udham Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Subhash Chandra Bose, Lala Lajpat Rai and Mangal Pandey. These people fought for the honor of India and never compromised on their principles irrespective of the situation.  

To understand Bharatiya values and its cultural significance, we must learn about the sacrifices of our heroes and to reclaim India's glory, we must strive to live the life of our heroes, that is, a life of sacrifice, bravery, hard work and team work. The video below aptly describes the greatness of Bharat:

This song is a product of an era when entire nation was under the grip of patriotism and idealism. As time passed, the fever of patriotism began to wither off and Indians became more interested in material gains for self comforts. Sixty years hence, possession of material gains has become the most dominant driving force in everyone's lives. This obsession has made Indians insensitive and impotent which has taken away their fighting spirit.  

India's fore fathers would have never dreamt that our motherland will suffer not only due to the crimes perpetrated by India's rulers but also by the impotence of the common Indians. They would have never imagined that Indians, who were once so proud of their sanskriti, will accept a lower dignity of life. They would have never thought that Indians will transform into a set of people who will obsessively pursue selfish goals.  

Looking at the current state of our motherland, our ancestors must be writhing in pain. 

Our ancestors suffered while fighting the enemies but their souls still continue to suffer given India's current condition. Their suffering has not ended and it is our duty to bring peace to their souls. To bring peace, we must strive to fulfill the dreams of our fore fathers, that is, we must try to create a united India (Akhand Bharat) wherein every Indian lives a dignified life and every Indian is a responsible citizen. An Akhand Bharat wherein the leaders selflessly work with integrity and courage towards protecting and developing the nation.

An Akhand Bharat where saffron is the predominant part of our lives -- A Bharat where we live for saffron and die for saffron. 

Jai Maa Bharti! Jai Hind!

You are a Virat Hindu

IF you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: 

If you can make one heap of all your winnings 

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

A Rudyard Kipling Poem

Title given by: Dr. Subramanian Swamy

Income tax and Indirect tax abolition to positively disrupt Indian economy

"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.

In case India implements a zero taxation system, then it will trigger several benefits in the economy which will herald a new era of economic development and progress for the country. Some such triggers are further explained below:

Will integrate Black money into mainstream economy
Black money economy is controlled by 3% of India's population; however, it influences 97% of the remaining population. Such a large influence indicates the extent of black money penetration in India's economic system. It also highlights mistrust in the banking system due to implications related to tax obligations. Therefore, many continue to avoid deposits in banks as it might attract tax obligations. 

"At least $70-80 billion goes out every year. The cost of India's black economy is 5% of GDP growth sacrificed every year since the mid-70s. But for this, India's size of the economy would have been $9 trillion." 

-- Arun Kumar, Professor of Economics at JNU 

Income tax abolition will not only increase deposit levels in banks, it will also enhance the transparency of financial transactions. While spurt in deposits will enable banks to fund diverse projects in the private and government sector; transparency in transactions will help in minimizing law and order issues which arise due to black money funding.

Income tax abolition will usher an era of transparency whose trickle down effect will have positive ramifications across each section of the society.

Affordable housing
Majority of real estate transactions involve heavy inflow and outflow of black money as it helps the sellers to avoid capital gains tax. While a regular investor may not make an impact; other investors (criminals, politicians and anti-national elements) leverage this inherent weakness of the sector to park their ill-gotten money. Moreover, investors and their syndicates artificially increase the value of real estate market. This reduces the affordability of residential properties among the regular middle income people. However, greater thrust on bank transactions will burst the real estate bubble and eventually help in the rationalization of real estate prices. 

If the government manages to channelize 50% of black money in banks, then black money will gradually lose relevance in real estate transactions. 

Inflation will come down

India's taxation system has become intricately complex and comprehensive whose entire purpose is to suck away maximum cash out of the income earning individuals through the route of tax. Apart from income tax, the government charges indirect tax in the form of service tax, education cess, surcharge and excise which inflates the prices of products and services by 35%. In case the government does away with such a system, many citizens will be able to enjoy products and services at drastically low levels. This will augment India's GDP to higher levels and will also help in increasing the per capita income. 

Abolition of income tax and other indirect taxes is pure-play economics which will influence India's growth positively and also enable it to become a crime free destination. 

Why is Arvind Kejriwal flip-flopping?

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 flip flops in his stand on corruption and alliance partnerships. Even though media loves to portray Kejriwal as a new phenomenon, all Indians must make an effort to understand his actions rather than depending on spoon feeding by media. 

Flip Flop 1
The first major flip flop and a serious one was that Kejriwal swore on his kids that he will not form an alliance with BJP OR Congress. The proof is given as below:

Given the evidence above, Kejriwal chose Congress to be his partner despite vehemently refusing to form an alliance. This was a shock to many AAP supporters who thought that AAP will not ally with any corrupt party, especially the most corrupt party in the history of India ever. If transparent governance was the only objective, then AAP could have formed a partnership with BJP on a constructive platform. This is because BJP emerged as the single largest party in Delhi.  

But then, Kejriwal & Congress had already planned the entire game for Delhi Assembly elections much before -- only the equation of seats became unexpectedly favorable for AAP in the Delhi elections.   

Flip Flop 2
Plenty of evidences from Anna and Ramdev's movement indicate that Arvind Kejriwal portrayed himself as an anti-corruption crusader. For example, Kejriwal proudly targeted Sheila Dixit for her involvement in various corruption scandals such as CWG scam and power scam. Please see below -- Kejriwal openly talked about Sheila Dixit's role in corruption but remember this speech was before Delhi elections:

People who genuinely supported AAP thinking that Kejriwal will bring some positive change must watch the next evidence which clarifies everything about the hidden agenda -- that Kejriwal is only working as per the instructions of Sonia and CIA-led Ford foundation. When Dr. Harshvardhan (BJP) raised the issue of corruption charges against Sheila Dixit; Kejriwal responded like a typical seasoned neta:

In the above video, Kejriwal's body language tells more than his verbal response -- watch his body language when he answered the question on Sheila's corruption. 

Other promises such as free water upto 700 litres of consumption and 50% reduction in electricity bills have been fulfilled; however, these promises don't seem to serve any good to the common man -- for example, free water is applicable only to households that have installed a water meter. Households not having meters (primarily in unauthorized colonies) will not get any benefits. During the pre-poll campaigning, Kejriwal never clarified that his promises will accrue with the tag of 'Conditions Apply'. 

Kejriwal is fooling Indians openly due to solid backing of CIA, Sonia and Media. Even Congress is trying its best to propel him as the Dynasty is sensing decimation in the upcoming LS elections. Congress' desperation is also visible from the extent of coverage given by MSM to Arvind Kejriwal and AAP. Plenty of evidences also indicate Kejriwal's proximity with anti-national elements such as Tauqueer Reza and Imam Bukhari.   

The battle for 2014 is not just another battle between two parties, rather it is a battle between Nationalistic and Anti-Nationalistic forces, with BJP, Akali Dal and Shiv Sena on the nationalistic side and Congress & its bed partners (including AAP) on the anti-nationalistic side. The importance of LS-2014 can not be ignored as its outcome will shape the future of the world for the next 1,000 years. 

I request every Indian to make an informed decision when voting for a particular party and do not just fall for any traps that are specifically laid out by anti-national elements.
