#Farmers'_welfare: The state of ambivalence... #2_10_20
*Ever lovable Bapu, your 'Hind Swaraj' was an excellent text but unscrupulously banned by the then colonisers, I am sure you would have found today many more sympathisers..
*'Hind Swaraj' is a masterpiece, that projected your duty to remove our prejudice...
* In a dialogue that follows in there, where you outlined 'four themes' to structure your arguments, the situations today are ridiculing the naysayers now as they seem to have become all the more important...
Bapu, let's have a look at Bharat-2020:
* Never before the produce from the farms has ever been so large , yet never before the neglect has ever set in the psyche where from every other thing starts (unsustainable agri-practices); never before, for the good, 'the whole was meant to be greater than sum of its parts' and never before the need was felt to put all the minds together to mend the divisive hearts... You see Bapu, in this age of mechanisation, bulls now roam on the roads and  destroy crops as they don't have to pull anymore the redundant bullock carts...
* Obsolete trading arrangements so far didn't do much good, overburdened procurement system thus had to serve the rotten food; Government alone would have sorted the things out only if it could, the 'base of the economy'(Agriculture) ought to be simplified now where 'transparent & accountable system' will be collectively put...
*I have read somewhere, that, Reforms of the modern world can only be in progression, as the fundamentals are still laid down by the comfortable traditions; but, the government in general is directed by the contemporary obsessions where the room is less to rely on bold predictions...
*It's a common understanding today, that, without strong 'institutional arrangements' laissez-faire policy may harm lakhs of unorganised small-farmers who have not been empowered so far, & Corporates can't thrive without their profit motive unless the effectiveness of government-observation is not at its par!
*I fathom, that 'Free market' is projected as an ideal system, where as 'MSP' is declared just as the pessimists' insurance... still, a strong institutional arrangement will have to be there as a referee to check the unruly's arrogance...don't you think?
*Every commodity has a value chain & the cost effectiveness of a product in the end depends on how well the chain was streamlined, ailing APMC  has been symptomatic of a disease —left uncured by the dosage of transparency and accountability when there was time...
~Profiteering,  black marketing, commission khori, & other malpractices have brought for the indulged some real peaches & plums, whoever refutes to corroborate with me on this is a real blind+deaf+dumb!!!
*Agri-products experience uniform demand throughout the year, but the production of the same(mostly) is season bound; affected by the diversity in consumption preferences and resources available, I can only hope that this call for "One nation one market"—about the state subject—becomes in the end a familiar sound!
*Private Company's religion is reduced to just making profit and a farmers religion is still to cultivate it's land...dont you think, that, unless the established contracts are long lasting and reliable, the reassurance by the government machinery will fail to bring out a symbiotic blend!?
* The dissipated spirit of rural India today needs to be timely revived, with the greater bargaining power the 'option of survival' will transform into an 'opportunity to thrive'!
* Ironically, the motives to raise the profit margins is unable to serve in general the public interest well, such classic dilemma is a feature of a developing world today where mutually contradicting yet equally favourable choices in general make up the groundswell!
*Helpless government today, is pushing hard to rope in corporates to do business via their own commercial depots; I am afraid, that I can't describe you yet the veiled face of those 'New-gen Benevolent Despots'...
* Every small farmer wants to run away from the hardships brought in by the ownership of  land that has gone dysfunctional, & the cause of this insecurity is somewhat cultural and somewhat structural...
*Urbanisation has now turned out to be the growth engines, but the trailing rural India has been desperately asking to be granted the eponym of a 'dependent self-sustenance'...
*Bapu, we are now hoping to see the '#Smart_Cities' become accommodative of the overwhelming newness, & the flashy '#16_Point_plan' for agriculture receives the proper execution... We also hope to see this hybridisation to work out just fine with better services supporting the #new-economy, & the older-one(Agriculture) receives the pertinent Investment...
* Bapu, there used to be a functional Opposition besides the ruling party, but now it's being sweeped & cornered, & forced to remain invisible; the basic virtues of democracy are in danger now and so at stake are the other harmonising symbols...
*You were the real leader, Bapu—the leader of the mass... Our leaders now, are as good as the followers allow them to be and their present defiance is a reflection of the precedent set in the recent past; in today's society, unruliness & corruption is no longer a taboo & the isolated examples of honesty are now becoming the real outcaste...
*They are now resorting to the practice of even hyphenating the abbreviations, sneakily bringing ordinances to skip the discussion—the marrow of communication...
See Bapu, what has become of your Once argumentative Nation!
*They don't talk without creating raucous and indulging in altercations, and always seem concerned about their eye catching presentations...
*You must be knowing that such unruliness is not the rule but an aberration, but don't you think that ceaseless abrasion can be the cause of permanent corrosion!
*People like me can't even show concern out of the fear of condemnation... See Bapu, what has become of your once benevolent nation!
*You see, our fearfulness is nothing but the symptom of misinformation and our rage is the outcome of this fear of unknown, they don't care to allay our fears by way of attending to the concerns properly, & then they expect us to be influenced by whatever topical interest they might have ever shown...
see Bapu, this is the true state of your people once cared & protected like children of your own...
*We see our leaders with awe for the audacity they have, and we keep on wondering that how easily they get away with all that...
* But, we won't lose faith in humanity, as  once you rightly directed, not to ever lose faith in it; the ocean doesn't becomes dirty because of few dirty drops, so long as the substance is pure along with the pith...
Under your shadow we are unafraid of any threat—guided by your saying:" If you don't ask, you don't get"!
*We only hope in the end that our grievances  signify the degree of the experienced distress, and are to be taken in good stead, as you only once acclaimed,that "Agreement to disagree is often a good sign of progress".
Rest in peace, Mahatma.
नमन । चरण वंदन।

#Happy_Unemployment_Day2020

Howdy Modiji? Happy Birthday!

Development is pushed aside & democracy is experiencing its demise...
Youth is despised because the opportunities are being denied...
Pertinent questions are being piled up unreplied, only the likes of on 'mangoes' and your 'sleeping hours' are the ones that had qualified..
Living are hoping to survive & half-dead are dying to be revived...
Since with your 'Happy b'day' today, this #unemployment day coincides, I hereby take the liberty to complain, that by relying on your lies we have reached to this state of compromise...
Where bhakts are glorified & critiques are penalised, I am sorry that I can't die for such Bharat where my dreams can't be realised!
Anyways...
*I hope your flashy anti corruption actions are the cause of your sound sleep...anyways...
~" So much was said but not done , considering the dame & dime still involved in the acts of omission and commission; whatever happened to your promise when you said that you'd promptly deal with the menace of corruption!"
*I hope your fantastic "Notebandi" move remains to be the flash in the pan, copyright karwalijiye! What if resorting to such measures becomes a 'routine job' in future for others as well...anyways...
~"Rule of Law can protect us, so far as the tenets of a law are maintained & manifested out of the legal books; the covert establishments are off limits to it, however, no matter how filthy they may look...
The automated systems of disgrace and corruption are well established, that always succeed in taking its own course; no matter if the 'Notes' were older, Modiji, as now offers are made in 'Newer Notes'...
*I hope your concern for the Youth is still intact...anyways...
~but, the real aspirational youth is sick of your 'theatrics', especially when you make the mockery of that high profile stage;
you yourself be knowing that you are an overdoer sometimes—like now—when you sport the overgrown beard similar to an official sage...
~anyways...Government job seekers is the hopeful entitled class; & the prerogative is totally yours,  to sift the 'Gold' out of the pile of 'brass'...but, please don't kill the dreams of such wannabes, who have been in the making for the last 'six years', else be ready for the recall in the next session of judgement—led by the disgruntled revolutionaries and supported by more potent Volunteers!
~anyways, as we all know, that, "it is imperative to maintain the lucrativeness of a government job, and tapping the talent would be a challenge if such jobs remain devoid of attractive additional sops...but, be careful, that 'New-Breed' of that 'Separate-Breed' must not anymore be bred— who seek jobs like a wannabe servants with intent to serve like a boss!!!"
~some of us are aware, about, " the inability of many governments to tackle the foul play of many established systems and their conspicuous influence, you don't lose heart by the fact that populist governments generally have to buckle up under the forces of conformity that are experts at forging in obligatory allegiance...anyways...
*I hope your stint with Media is going well...
~When there are so many forces at play, the covert ones are generally the ones that astound; Media makes or breaks the opinions & Social-media then just comes in to confound!
~Media, however, must go traditional again, so should all your propaganda spreading modern platforms; in this game—if democracy intends to remain in the state of play—there is a need to newly revive the older one but fairer norms!
*I hope you find peace in your Fantasy-World where ALL IS still WELL... & I will confide in my Nightmares where nothing remains to tell...  Anyways...
~to wake up from a nightmare, we need to know that we are in one; The thrill of the chills could only be felt sensibly, when an unexpected cold darkness overbears the might of the Rising Sun!
~ You seem to me an overgrown child, Mr.Modi, & your impulsiveness is reflected by the reflexes you extend; I am obliged here to say it with due respect to the stature and position you hold, that it is always too obvious whenever you pretend...
(So, for God's sake, stop pretending that everything is fine, and in control!!!)
~ people chose you as the grandest leader so far & the 'Conscience keeper' of the Indian Race; I hope you succeed in keeping your promises in coming days, so you need not to hide—in the end—your Awe Inspiring face.
~ This happened to be the once in a lifetime opportunity , but you are provided with it 'twice'; the faith of the Indian mass was bestowed upon you again, so that the glimpse of hope could certainly be reprised...
~The gullible Indian mass is overwhelming here, who can identify with your carefree approach; I am just a 'puny Critique—an Optimist indeed, who hopes to get away with this friendly fiddling reproach.
Happy Birthday!
Many many happy and healthy returns of the day!!!
Not so many painful returns of the #unemployment_day!
JAI HIND

Slum laden Railways...

 

#What_if, a new trend ripens and  'political irony' develops into a 'social paradox' ; what if, the political hands again remain tied untill the opportunistic society is properly detoxed...
#What_if, this trend of #slum relocation starts from Delhi and ends up into yet another unsolved issue; what if the safety concerns of Railways over shadows the realities of such slums that often let us fail to distinguish the use from misuse...

Tryst with JUMLABAAZI...

Tryst with JUMLABAAZI...
As per Mr. Rahul Gandhi, India is reeling under Modi-made disasters:

#At first he lamented the tragic "Notebandi" as a measure to help the Billionaires—a few; then he cemented the relation between the troublesome "GST" & the knee-jerk response as a "Lockdown" in the wake of a calamity that was new...

#Additionally came the pejorative "GDP report, in the opposition's support, but see the irony of our impaired democracy under this "powerful government" where no questions will be taken (no question hour) as the government is shamefully unable to retort...

#Opposition was clearly sweeped & cornered, fine, that was the public mandate, and the public had chosen their representatives to go to the parliament with a questionnaire and participate in the 'so called' debates; but in this era of 'one way communication' the definition of debates is relegated to just "bhakti", symbolising the 'hesitant Government'— confident only of fixating the new JUMLAS as a bait...
