planning commission

modi plans to downsize planning commission.
 better late than never.

what has planning commission achieved so far ?
other than publishing lengthy research papers
and adding a few new  words to the dictionary.

that is if u r ready to overlook the immense delays
planning commission introduced in the planning
process in india. for reasons ranging from academic
ambivalence to egoistic shadow fights. from unupdated
political philosophy  to stubborn insistence on ignoring
ground realities.

forget the past . let us experiment planning without the
commission . heavens will not fall. no doubt about it.

nothing wrong in allowing planning commission to
continue the work which they know . of publishing
research papers and holding international  seminars.
but let them not be vested with the power to sanction
( read delay or deny) development  plans of india

railway fare hike

may be the manner in which it was done is not correct. but rail fare hike is not such a great disaster. let us see if the govt can bring down prices and hold it down. that is more important. there are ways in which the govt can do it. even after the inflationary pressure induced by railway fare hike. let us give the govt a longer honey moon of say six months

article 370 ... more

article 370 debate is down and almost  out.
that is the beauty of the media. why hold on
to such difficult subjects when there are
more scintillating topics aplenty .
one thing that baffled me for long is this and
in the name of the state. j and k. since j and k
are adjacent alphabets j and k sounds great.
but why this and ? why cant jammu and kashmir
each stand alone ?
therein probably lies a story which is forgotten
too soon . may be it is time to reread that story
and debate rewriting it.

devayani issue : why the US has to yield this time

america the super power normally

wont. but this time they have to.

 

mody is opening up.

US companies will stand to lose heavily. 

they will force obama.

 

again the act of abducting a citizen

against whom court proceeding are pending

is indefensible. they can only keep silent.

for sometime. hoping that india too will ignore it.

but today india need not do it.

this game is worth watching.

unless india makes unforced errors

it is difficult for india to lose.

poverty alleviation

an unusual suggestion

1. at the base of poverty is the mismatch between population and resources.
   the obvious solution is to increase resources or reduce population or both.
   what i am suggesting is distribution. of population or resources or both.
   i know how difficult it is to even think about it. but see the simplicity. hail it.
   
   if there exists a solution to a problem however complex, it has to be a simple
   one. in other words there is nothing like a complex solution. it doesnt exist.
   
   so why not distribute population? definitely not the forced variety. the voluntary
   type.which means help the pople move if they really feel like. the catch is
   across the border. or from one country to another. without restrictions.
   
   and that is the crux of the problem. nations. their boundaries. patriotism.
   its inflated status. history which is the story of wars.
   
   they are the constraints.  but  opportunities. are there any ? can v rethink
   about the restrictions ? what will happen if australia or newzwaland allows
   indians or if u dont mind keralites to move in ? will it destroy that country ?
   
   but then countries are destined to whither away. if marx is to be believed.
   why delay it consciously ?

the lesser the better

human tendency is take help and not give it. probably a legacy of our insecure past. that habit of clinging to anything for survival.
so if we want to develop self help attitudes we should start early. during the primary education stage. we should give the students opportunity to do things rather  than read things. synthesis is superior to analysis on any count. and more difficult too. we should create in the young ones the self confidence to do things and be responsible for their actions in the formative years. once they develop the habit , its own addiction force will lead them on.
 to help them to help themselves help them less . in their formative years.
