Tales Of Two Gajendra's

           Not long ago a farmer named Gajendra committed  suicide in full public view at AAP rally in the presence of CM Arvind Kejriwal. He was supposedly a distressed farmer and was agitating against the  the Modi government's Land Acquisition (Amendment) Bill, although his family refuted claims as bogus as there family is perhaps financially better off and it was discovered Gajendra wasn't a typical farmer but an aspiring politician. His unfortunate death, though is under investigation and will be ascertained if he committed suicide or was a attempted stunt gone horribly wrong, what though is apparent is the distress in rural economy in India and level of disinformation spread over LAB. Share of public expenditure on agriculture and allied sectors declined from about 6 percent in 6th Plan to about 4.5 percent in Tenth plan,Irrigation, which is a leading input for agricultural growth, expenditure also witnessed a declining trend (10% in Sixth plan to about 8%) in Tenth plan ,this alone can summarize the disenchantment and dismay among rural population. Farmers suicide are rampant and no state is immune to tragic deaths of debt ridden farmers.Farmers deaths unfortunately doesn't hog limelight till some Gajendra has to do something extraordinary to get attention while all political parties are in same boat in offering lip service and condolences to grieving families. I am discussing it because these things aren't considered fashionable to discuss and is devoid of glitz n glamour our media and to some extent we all are more inclined towards.
         The tale of other Gajendra is even more interesting. Gajendra Chauhan was appointed as the new Chairman of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) Governing Council that seems to have hurt the pride of students thus mobilizing  students bodies from different universities including JNU in Delhi and SRFTI in Kolkata mostly leftists organizations who were up in arms against appointment. Students are unrelenting in there demand of Gajendra's removal as his credentials were questionable and short of FTII  standard. The strike by students and pouring of support from many quarters including film celebrities is being discussed at length in our media with eminent media wallahs have expressed there opinions on it .
         What's important to know is the spending of Rs 12 lakh per student a year on FTII, a film student is subsidized more than one studying medicine, management or engineering. A cost review by the I&B ministry found that the extent of recovery through fees, hostel rent and other expenses as a percentage of expenditure in academic activities in FTII has decreased from 25% in 2006-2007 to as low as 11% in 2010-2011. In a country like our's where resources are scarce doesn't judicious allocation of resources is required ? Do we need and afford to run such white elephants on taxpayers hard earned money?
         I am unperturbed by affiliation of protesting students organization or credentials of Gajendra Chauhan to be appointed as Chairman, but spending on medical education at Rs 6 lakh a year per student (AIIMS), around Rs 3.4 lakh a year on engineering education (IIT) , while Rs 12 lakh spent on budding filmmakers makes me wonder the priorities of government.

To Chetan Bhagat With Love

          Since childhood i have been taught by family to be respectful towards elder, teachers & girls, strangely never ever it crossed my mind to be abusive and disrespectful towards either of them. Only now i realized that being respectful towards girls is first criteria can help one get lucky in sex, second criterion being polished fluent English will help guys to get girls thus sexually satisfaction is guaranteed. Mahatma Gandhi was in London, an Englishman asked Gandhi 'Why do you Indians have different colored skins? Look at us, we all have the same color'.Gandhi replied 'Horses have different colors but all donkeys have the same color!' In this case according to your prophecy English communication skills is  passport to gentlemen behavior and definitely girls is unknown to masses whose mother tongue isn't English.I didn't know that who coined the word "Bhakt" on internet (twitter) , but now anyone supporting a cause from protecting cow slaughter to celebrating Holi to seeking equal treatment for Hindus is categorized as Bhakt by morons you are vehemently defending .
           I always considered you an intelligent,reasonable & smart person and your  academic past lends credence to it , unfortunately after reading about your thought of Hindi speaking guys as frustrated losers has not only disappointed me but made me wonder about your abilities to understand Indian males. I don't know whether you were at India Gate among protesters fighting for "Nirbhaya" trust me majority of them weren't oxford graduates but local youth from government schools and colleges riddled with inferiority complex and sexually frustrated in your eyes. Believe me respecting girls and being in good books of girls has nothing to do with conversation in English or being a proud Hindu. 

        Being proud of ones culture, tradition and Hinduism  and getting assertive so as to defend it is obviously new in India, where we are accustomed to seeing only other religious groups vocal and vociferously defending there faiths, therefore it becomes difficult for few to acknowledge that hindus have equal right to protest. Only problem for people like you and your ilks is when common people confront and single out concocted stories and poke fun at stupid media celebrities on social media. 

 Though the precious right to speak is exploited earlier by the English speaking elite class of yours but now slowly by masses thus frustrating celebrities who till now go unchallenged . The word Internet Hindu by SG  for everyone who's aggressive towards her is equally abusing in my opinion , doesn't bracketing Hindu word with derogatory& abusive people on twitter insinuate religion ? It's true some people irrespective of gender go overboard to exploit the freedom to speak and anonymity does benefit such hate mongers but twitter is full of abusers who are perfectly sound in english and abhor anything remotely hindu, guess that's acceptable to you. I am not defending few bad apples but doesn't calling a democratically elected PM as stalker makes you question those "outspoken" women ? If people question there ridiculously cheap comments they are instantly labeled as Bhakts such is the idiocy propagated. 

             Most important and in the end would like to tell you learning new skills(language included) makes one grow ,one shouldn't stop learning but denouncing someone because of his inefficiency to speak some language is outright derogatory,also, don't belittle and question the intelligence of girls to judge boys on just communication skills. Stereotyping compatriots is absurdity , though some emotionally aggressive people get rude at times but such kind are less numerically and available in both the camps. It's high time your Oxford returned elites smell the coffee and stop playing victim card after provoking rather they should introspect for why large section of people gets annoyed by there tweets.As a practicing Hindu i too felt offended when saffron bullying or Internet Hindu words are coined but don't get abusive . Just like you offered advice to Bhakts about honing linguistic skills here's a piece of advice from Sant Kabir in "Hindi" for you .

Media Morons

         

        Strange are the ways of Indian media they choose and try to manufacture faults where none exists ,try to foment trouble where peace exists, go hysterical over trivial issues otherwise should be left alone but one thing remains constant is the zeal to protect one famous political family,never doubting or questioning there integrity and in the process can go at any length to defame and smudge any other political outfit. It by no means the other political parties are pious or without there share of hooligans but belligerently protecting Congress by section of media is astonishing. It's true we mustn't hold someone guilty till proved in court of law but why same acumen isn't shown while targeting BJP ? Why media doesn't desist from holding trials against all other parties and passing judgments ? The latest case in memory is of Lalit Modi (LM) where not only Congress but media was engrossed in endless debates ranging from impropriety to stashing black money abroad . While Congress brave hearts were screaming for PMs clarification and resignation of ministers, media celebrities too weren't far behind in seeking for proverbial heads of Raje and Swaraj. Lalit Modi left India under Congress patronage was conveniently forgotten and were harping on to resignation of Swaraj over concocted bogus story in UK, LM tweets were the source of information to rake an issue brandishing them Bibilical truth, such was the urgency to malign Modi government that these bigoted media wallahs rushed to interview LM hoping to unearth muck to paint govt in negative. I believe its prudent and necessary to investigate the wrongdoing in IPL which is nothing short of betting league thoroughly, starting from Sunanda Pushkar mysterious death to betting racked busted involving owners etc. everything should be under the purview of investigation, also ,who helped LM escape . As Congress and cohorts were going berserk over tweets by LM and everyday new revelations were pouring in some half truths dreaming to dethrone govt only to be bulldozed by LM himself . 

         The day LM mentioned his meetings with Gandhi scion ,Priyanka and Robert Vadra everyone went into huddle and quickly everything was hushed up ,forgotten and media moved on to Vyapam. The media circus didn't bother to check veracity of facts and question the family in question . Right after the anointment of Modi as PM candidate there is an insatiable hunger to somehow malign him, it started of with jibes of his humble past to embroil him in snooping scam when nothing worked and he became PM now the insanity of section of media holds no limits.This isn't the first instance of media conveniently ignoring news on Gandhi family, National herald case of misappropriation of funds wasn't ever reported and debated hushing up off whole issue is nothing short of mischief . 

 There's is the repeated tendency of section of media to exonerate few while doing opposite to all other political parties.They need to understand the old traditional ways of watching news are long dead with social media playing a significant role.Next on agenda for media is to play mischief on Vyapam where media trials are underway irrespective of ongoing investigation. Section of media that felt  offended at Presstitute comment by General VK Singh doesn't want to dwell on reasons why there reputation is tattered as no one is above law and spared from prying eyes of Social media .

Make In India

Make in India is launched by GOI with lots of grandeur and fanfare is deemed as game changer for ailing manufacturing sector in India. Governments impetus on manufacturing augurs well for masses as manufacturing is the biggest source of employment after agricultural sector for unskilled and semiskilled workforce. Indian economy is incredibly diverse with more intrinsically inclined then dependent on exports .Government efforts to improve overall businesses environment is encouraging, transparent auctioning of mines,spectrum etc, cutting down on red tapism, quick redressal of projects stuck in green tribunals are steps in right direction but still woefully short of major transformation when it comes to investment in the country. Indian economy has many impediments that needs to be firmly addressed before gaining confidence of investors , major reforms have to be implemented to bring in investments that India needs. Halfhearted attempts by govt to push for clearing basic bills like GST stuck in parliament logjam , repeatedly bringing ordinance on land doesn't lend much confidence among investors thus squandering the momentum and hope built on economic reforms.
          63% of GDP is services sector that grew tremendously through 90's with liberalization and reforms ushered during that time, yet the stupendous growth of services sector has one drawback it employs just 28 % of Indian workforce. IT enabled services, such as Business Process Outsourcing, have grown rapidly in the recent years and will continue to rise but is over dependent on the vagaries of world economic fluctuations.Tourism and hospitality is another sub sector that's discarded till recently and only now some steps are initiated as its growth holds promise for job creation .The biggest job creator is the agricultural sector employing  more then 53% of workforce but it accounts for just 17% of Indian GDP.Indian farm sector is still largely dependent on the climatic conditions with one or two droughts causes havoc. It is this discrepancy that needs immediate attention.We have to redeploy manpower from agriculture towards manufacturing .Recent govt impetus on building food processing industries(Food Parks) and cold storage parks ensures confidence. Food processing will help in value addition and cutting on agricultural wastages that's highest in the world .The over dependence of population on single sector has devastating consequences with maximum poverty stricken and debt ridden class emanating in rural India as is evident from recently published reports from Government .Finally, the Industry sector makes up 20 %of India’s GDP and employs around 19% of the labour force. Among the major sub-industries include textiles (the largest industry in terms of employment), chemicals, food processing, steel, transportation equipment, cement, mining, petroleum, machinery and pharmaceuticals.Govt initiatives to develop industrial corridors (SEZ)for industries to setup investments by providing world class infrastructure, tax breaks is a prudent step
            Another bold concept is the planning to develop smart cities across India. This single scheme has the huge potential to provide jobs on mass scale for unskilled and semiskilled labor force besides providing required residential dwellings for population . The worst affected and the most distressed class will eventually have financial security and stability as  construction is the biggest creator of jobs for the poor. It has the potential to alleviate poverty and transform India on an unprecedented scale but the bottleneck here is the unavailability of land under government. This drawback can be mitigated by prudent planning and creating consensus among stakeholders for mutual benefit of all. Any faltering on government parts can only lead to more inequality and unending loop towards obscurity for masses to end
