Must Do Changes............

Hi Friends,

Yesterday I mentioned that we as a citizen of India should be seeking some changes in our system. And to bring them into the system we will have to change ourselves first. Not trying to be filmy on this. I understand that we all think that the change should be from the government side, but who bring that government ? Its US, you & me.

Lets talk about the fundamental change that needs to be brought in our system. Whenever we talk about any problem in the country we will end up to Politics / literacy as the root cause of the issues.

For me also the root cause is the same, literacy rate is increasing slowly, the pace has to be pushed harder. Our government is spending is good amount of money , but its not reaching the grass root level, that is to the end user, the people in rural areas.

There should be only two or at the max 3 political national parties that can compete for election. Since last 10 years , no single party is allowed to function properly. That is not the only reason to this. The major reason is, in the rural areas, there are lot of un educated people, who are actually the ones who vote ( believe the reality). They should not be flooded with option so that they get confused every time whom to vote. And as many number of option, candidates will try various tricks to attract them towards their party. They won't be working for the state / country. The "Aam Admi" should be able to connect to the candidate.

Each party should declare in advance the candidates they would appoint for the post if they win the election. This will allow the user to understand the party tactics, and the for site into party's action, if they come to rule the country.

I'm not able to understand one thing, an job in India requires some or other qualification, there is only one job in India that doesn't require qualification. And that's becoming a Minister. Shouldn't they also have some minimum qualification required. Many of our state Ministers in some states don't have sound knowledge even about their state, how are they going to work in country's interest.

Qualified group of people ( mix of young / experienced , may be the retired official CEO, MD ) should be there to assist the CM to look into the development prospect for the state.

And for most important Minister's will also have to show their Form 16, income tax return statement for lst three years before holding any position. Declare all their accounts to the state / central government. They should be provided healthy salary, but if their assets go out of control, their accounts should be freezed.

80 % of our politicians have their accounts in Swiss Bank, we all know that. If all that money is freezed and taken into Central government account, I'm sure all the debts of the country will be cleared. And these accounts can be freezed. As this ministers, working for 1000 times their whole life can't make the amount of money they have made.

Put that money into the economy, bail out the companies, start new business in the states where there is no development, like the UP, Bihar, Chattisgarh and many more. If India wants to develop, it has to make all its state functioning in the best form.

If this is attempted, India will resist to the changes, but we have to make the changes to prosper. Changes are hard to digest.

Will talk more on that later.

Arise Awake & Stop Not Till Ur Goal Is Reached

Remember the phrase given to us by Swami Vivekanand, which can be helpful to each and everyone of us. Understand the need of time, stand up to the situation and act on it untill you get success.

In this 2 and a half years I've seen two major attacks in Mumbai, the 1st one was in 2006 serial Bomb blast in trains and now the terrorist attack in 2008. In 2006 some of my friends were moving in the same direction for shopping, I was watching TV at home. When i saw all the news about the serial blasts , I called them and stoped them, asked them to return. We all escaped from the situation.

This time non of my friends were stuck but our whole city was taken for granted, not only by the terrorist but also by our Politicians, People around are talking that India is rising now after the havoc created in Mumbai by the terrorist.

But is this really happening, or we are still the same care free Mumbaikars, not worried about the problems of the city untill they become our own personal problem ?

I was moved by the gesture we made on Gateway of India on 3rd Dec. That was the emotional part of the story, but are we really doing anything after getting together ?

This political parties are just trying to fool us by playing the blame game, agreed that we single handedly can't do anything, but we can start getting together, start raising our voice. And give the politicians a environment in which they are forced to perform.

I'll place an update on what reforms are needed according to me.
