Untouched
On 8th July the program on Untouchability was telecast on Satyamev Jayate. Unfortunately I missed watching the program and discussions.
I do have definite views on this, that needs urgent attention.
We need to start at birth. When a child is born all defintions of caste should be erased from the birth certificate form. Once Caste and Sub Caste find no mention, then within a lifetime we can be sure of having erased this scourge from our society.
Further there should NEVER be a query for such divisive information during one's lifetime .

Outdated Laws.........
Last month there was hue and cry over the actions of the Police who took cover under archaic laws to arrest members of the public. While all know that the Police force are servants of the public and their first responsibility is to provide a Terror Free life for all under their care. While Gangsters, Murderers, Rapists, and Scoundrels run free, Honest citizens out for some FUN are harassed under these laws.
Why cannot we have laws that also have a lifetime(say 25years). If it is not revisited, modified it stands auto deleted from the statute. This would ensure that our laws are always with the times and serve the needs of the populace. Laws are never meant to harass, but to guide all to the new way of co operative living.

The way to rid India of Corruption in Public Life.....
SC quashes assets case against Maya, blow to Govt,CBI.....Headlines in Times of India of 7th July 2012. Another NEWS..........
Pawar backs Tatkare after Konkan Victory...pg 10 TOI of 7th July 2012......
The SC should permit filing a PIL against any Public Servant Elected or otherwise, who has amassed wealth beyond his/her known source of Income. It is the responsibility of the accused to prove the earnings are legitimately earned and have no bearing on corrupt practices he/she may have indulged in to amass the wealth.
Inability to prove will lead the wealth to be credited to the public exchequer and to be used strictly for public welfare schemes.
Currently it is a case of one corrupt shileding another corrupt.

Who is the Minority.....
Nitish talks of Secularism to Dupe Minorities: Lalu...............The Economic Times Page 2 of 6th July 2012.........
It is time we defined who is a Minority - be it by Caste, Creed or otherwise. My view is that 49% is never to be defined as Minority if the other is 51%. Minority in all situations must be in Single digits to be classified as such. Therefore the maximum is 9%. Any value over 9% must be termed as Second/Third largest Majoirity. Only then will the True benefits of being in a Minority as Sanctioned be received. Currently the Second or Third largest majority is wooed on electoral benefits and laws made to pander to their whims so that the ruling class can continue to rule the roost......Think.

Housing Solutions
Cabinet may take up Housing Loan Subsidy Plan.........Economic Times page 13 of 3rd July 2012
You
will agree that the measure of good governance is when we are able to
give a comfortable life to our citizens. The best way to make all feel
proud as Indians is to improve their standard of living. The very basic
being affordable shelter.
If
we enact a law that enables all tax paying citizens who do not have a
house of their own, to avail of low interest loan for housing. The
interest should be around 6% only.
The applicant of the loan should have been a Tax payer for the preceding 20 years.
Based on the response, the period can be reduced to 15 yrs and later 10 years.
Also the house cannot change hands, be sold or mortgaged for 10 years after getting possession.
The loan should be limited to flats with a carpet area not exceeding 555 square feet.
This
one act will not only create a positive impetus to growth, but be a
harbinger to better economy, as all will strive to be Honest Tax paying
citizens to avail of this facility.
The other outcome will be in creating job opportunities in many sectors.All documents should be well scrutinized to ensure the applicant satisfies all criteria. A website should be dedicated to the cause, with names of those who have been shortlisted and inviting objections if any from others who may be aware of the true facts.This one act will create a huge demand in housing, which will have a ripple effect on Steel, Cement, Sand,Stone, and other Building Materials consumption.The economy will boom, and what is reduced in loans, will be multiplied by increases in Tax collections.
For a Better India, keeping the economy growing positively with inclusive growth.

India 'Condemning' Millions to remain in Poverty : Mittal
India 'Condemning' Millions to remain in Poverty : Mittal
(Economic Times page 3; dated 21st June)
It is not only about the Government and Governance. Mittal and those of his ilk, forgets they also owe Society as much as they have received from it. It is not their birthright to exploit their underlings. It is about the receivables in any industry or situation, where the max perks are received at the top and the crumbs picked off the floor at the bottom of the pyramid. This is a misconceived notion that it is the top alone that deserves the credit for success. Success can be achieved when every player in the game plays his part and contributes to the targeted goal. We need to create a winning situation and a prosperous society where everyone who contributes gets rewarded. Let us assume these are the different levels in an industry.
If say x=Rs 10,000, then the CMD gets max Rs 1 Lakh. Once this definition is accepted / legislated, then in a given industry if the CMD thinks he deserves more, he has to ensure the value of x at the ground level in his organization changes. This one act will create a healthy environment within the organization, and within society.
