When I travel I get awed by the sheer diversity that I see.
I literally feel the famous school slogan, ’Unity in diversity’. Yet the city ‘India’
is different from village India and so is small city different from metros.
There are unique problems in all the above categories. Many a times it may not
overlap. Certainly the ease of life decreases from metros to villages.
Nevertheless, the purpose of writing this piece is not romanticise diversity
rather it is to find ecosystems where sarkar works and where it doesn’t.
I remember in school
days, when there used to be debate competition students were asked to speak
either for or against the motion instead of knowing their opinion! Now, if we
say our police is not working properly suddenly someone will give some stray
example to prove that our police works! The seed sown with for or against the
motion debate had had great impact on us! We always try to justify things by
quoting exceptions. It is certainly very difficult to start a business in
India. The government knows it, so the govt provides solution by giving single
window clearance to large scale industry and FDI. The problem still prevails
for startups!
There are politicians who can get bail on very serious
corruption charges and even after the sentence has been pronounced on the
contrary there are people who spend literally their whole life in jail just
because of suspicion! These poor fellows don’t have money to hire lawyers and
get bail. Just google it you will know the pathetic condition of judiciary yet
we find solace in few exceptional cases and claim that we have very good
judiciary.
I started the blog by talking about ecosystems that exists
in India. If single window can be there for large industrialists and MNCs then,
why not for small traders? If military court can decide their cases in few months why cant our courts? If ISRO can
be successful then why do we need to import our guns? Yes its really fully that
we import even he clothes for military (clothes used in cold weather). If India
can be success model in IT industry then why cant it be in manufacturing? If
China can solve its Tibet insurgency issue then why the FUCK we are still
ducked in maoist area and NE insurgents or JnK militants? If Bangluru,
Hyderabad can be IT hub then what stops Lucknow, Patna, Bhopal from being IT hub?
The solution to all the above problem lies in systematic dismantling
of colonial and soviet style sarkari tantra. The government has too much
presence in our life. It has to reduce its ambit to pure public good (public
good is an economics term). PM Modi’s rhetoric will not attract growth unless
he dismantles this colonial and soviet mind-set just like he did it by abolishing
planning commission. A mere abolishing of few laws will not do. The nations
mandate is not for small reform, it is for drastic change. In Rahul baba’s term
we certainly need great escape velocity to move out this den created by his
party and his fore- fathers.
Arun Shourie very often says that we (our netas) have a
habit of not acknowledging the problem rather we prefer to hide our face like
an ostrich. To have better health care, education and good welfare state we
need to stop having orgasm in the name of socialism. Its high time to adopt
outright capitalism with government acting as an impartial regulator. The state
is unable to provide defence goods yet it wastes resources in making condoms (
yes, we have a PSU for it ! . And we discuss in our drawing room that ‘’Saala
China bahut aage nikal gya’’ ! We don’t have roads in Arunachal Pradesh border
area while China is having bullet train connectivity with its border province!
Today I was reading online ‘’Sydney Herald’’. All Indians
went gaga over Modi’s speech ( it was indeed very good) yet on its website the
top news was Aus signing free trade with China! My point is nobody gives a shit
in Aus or US, they give importance to trade. Rest all is ephemeral. We need
major surgery in our system to have a good global presence. We need to end the
Babus and lal batti culture. To really know the importance babus I will ask you
to visit and small city. There DM is still the mai- baap! Even after 67 years
of independence people in that area still feel obliged by the indian
administrative service officers and the state civil service officers. Many
times police officers and these administrative officers still live in the
colonial era affluence and aura!
PM Modi should put a limit on the number of ministers. There
are many useless and wasteful ministries. Imagine, we have 250+ PSU and out of
this barring few Navratn and Maharatn
PSU most of them are loss making and we have a separate ministry for PSU with
huge babus and staffs to look after them! Its like ‘’Ek to karaila upar se neem
chadha’’ ! We require not more than 20 ministries. Rest all ministers are rent
seeker and blood sucker. Let me give you another example. Why do we need steel
ministry? In that case we should have Aluminium Ministry ! We have a separate ministry
for Coal and Power! And the twist is more than 50% power comes from coal based
power plant! LOL then why the fuck do we need two ministers? Either have one
and call him minister of natural resource or else merge Coal ministry with
power. There are many many such examples.
Modi will have to really work hard to fulfill make in India dream and
trust me if make- in- india fails then our country will face very severe
problem in next decade. A jobless youth can do many babri majid act or
insurgency problem. The solution lies in empowering the youth by increasing the
capability, providing environment for business.
In India we find that neither the health minister nor the
health secretary is a doctor!!! WELCOME TO INDIA !!!
