The Right to Education.. how much it is valid in reality???

Hon. Supreme Court has recently, rewarded the Indian people with the law named RIGHT TO EDUCATION... On larger perspective, the law appears to be a boon to economically backward classes and surely the people belonging to lower income starta, would be elated . In return, UPA Govt. would earn those browny points in form of votes and fulfill the motive behind “gifting” this unrealistic law... The UPA Govt. when it was re-elected in 2009, presented this law. For once, even if we presume that it was enacted to just and just abolish the inequality in the opportunity to gain education, in reality it lacks to serve its objectives... To understand and believe that the UPA Govt. enacted this law and the Hon. SC sanctioning it would hardly provide the private school educational facilities to students of lower income families. There are numerous hurdles on this path and one of it is the Govt. himself.. According to one of the surveys, if each child of the lower income group is to be educated in the private schools free of cost, then the Govt. would have to shell out 2.3 lakh crores. At present, the Govt. is spending 21,000 crores every year. under Sarv Shiksha Abhiyaan...which is even not benefitting the people. In 2009, when the HRD Minister Shri Kapil Sibbal stated that more 5 lakhs teachers are necessary to endow with good education to the children. The education level in Municipal and govt. schools is diminishing every day. Thus, the numbers of students are descending every day and unless the financial compulsion prevents one, people prefer providing education to their children in non-granted private schools. But, To overcome this loophole, the solution is not in transferring the encumber to the private schools as there are plenty of other hindrances.. Dwelling further, one realizes that the private schools, which would be compelled to provide 25% seats to lower income groups, will either have to decrease their profit ratio or shift the burden of their loss in income to the other middle income students as they would be tempted to procure it from them.. The priority hitch is that the teachers of govt and municipal schools generally have lots of disinterest in imparting education and taking pro-active interest in growth of students. Even in cases where the equipments like Computers, Tablets or laptops are provided under certain schemes to the students but are not utilized to its optimum due to lack of trained teaching staff. Another major obstacle is regarding psychological stress that would be suffered by the underprivileged children. In the race of turning them into at par with privileged students or lets eradicate the term “privileged” and term them as students belonging to middle and upper income groups. It may sound as prescriber of principal of equality, but in actuality, the Vitamin M flowing away, in creating projects, for picnics and parties would turn into impediment to those 25% of students studying in private schools. Not to mention the lifestyle lived by the fellow students of private schools and the stress created due to incapability of following the same..The gap between the students would widen instead of narrowing down when the respective children would open their tiffins...!!! This law provides for advantage to children of 6 to 14 years of age, generally, a child comes in std 10th, at the age of 15 and that is an important junction of his career. If this facility is not provided beyond age 14, how does a child, who has gained education from the proficient private schools, can afford to receive higher education at reasonable rate??? The ideal solution to this problem does not lie in providing 25% seats in private schools and coercing them to feel out of place as well as stressful or to improve the education amenities in the municipal or govt. run schools??? The additional benefit would be that it would be able to progress the lives of not only the 25% but also the rest 75%.. And, That is called inclusive education... When late Shri M.C. Chagla was a Education Minister in 1964, he had remarked, “The creators of our Constitution never wished that just by constructing the school building, their task was over. A school with non-efficient teaching staff, incorrect syllabus, lack of play grounds does not serve our purpose and just by providing this we can not justify the fulfillment of Article 45...” The Golden words are coming alive it seems...

The Whiteness of Colgat getting stained by Coalgate Scam by none other than Hon. P.M.

The hugest tragedy of the recent times are not appearance of various scams and scandles…
Nor it is occerance of colossal corruptions..
For, they are the outcome of yet another dreadful event..
And,
The event is, unmistakably the coming to power of UPA in 2009.
The Comptroller and Auditor General Office [CAG] has blasted a fresh bomb. The shock of2-G Spectrum scam is yet to be absorbed.
And,
The new earthquake has hit the economy of the nation.According to the reports of CAG, due to the policy of the current UPA Govt. which did not permit the auction of Coal, has cost the union Govt. Rs. 10.7 lakh crores…
The Man Mohan Singh Govt. tried to savage itself by announcing that this report of CAG, is not final but unfortunately, CAG’s statement claiming this report to be final has brought the Govt. in a soup.
When we talk of Colgate, we visualize its Whiteness, but this Coalgate has created a Black and dark bloat on the prestige of Govt. that is unlikely to be eradicated.
India can boast of the largest reserves of Coal, yet Indian Govt. regularly has to import huge amount of coal to creat Thermal energy. Neither the industries are empowered with substantial stock of coal.
In Spectrum scam, A. Raja distributed licenses to private operators on first cum first bases, without auctioning it. In the similar manner, at a fixed price, the Govt. sold the stock of Coal to certain private as well as public operators.
The difference between Spectrum scam and Coalgate scam are: Firstly, the Spectrum scam dealt with licenses of 2G, which after the order from the Hon. Supreme Court, has been revoked. Thus, the loss, definitely huge, but has been retracted to dwell further. Where as, Coal, is such a natural resource of the nation that once it has been exhausted, is irrevocable. The loss caused by selling it to private companies is permanent. Secondly, in Spectrum scam, the central character was A. Raja.. A minister but in Coalgate scam, hugely unfortunately for the nation, it is the Hon. Prime Minister Shri Man Mohan Singh, himself. Broadcasting on a massive scale, that the country is on the path of Power Emergency, the PMO took the control of the Coal ministry under its own belt.
According to the reports of CAG, the 155 mines of Coal that the country has, were passed off to the 100 odd private and public enterprises, to create power at negligible price. These companies create electricity with using coal and sell to the consumer at a higher rate, thus generating gigantic profit. When the private enterprises acquired licenses of coal mining, certain foreign companies too, jumped into it. They too, purchased shares of the companies acquiring mining license.
Coal India is an organization that owns the monopoly of coal mining in India. Any private operator that wishes to buy Coal, has to procure it from Coal India. Some time ago, Coal India increased the rate of Coal and these private companies created a boom rang and appealed to the PMO. The PMO intervened and compelled the Coal India to decrease the price rise. Then the new policy proclaiming the surfacing of Power emergency, was created which allotted the coal stocks to private agencies without procuring any tenders or doing auction. The British Company TCI , threatened to take Coal India to court, for creating losses.
After China and USA, India is the third largest country that produces Coal. The Central Govt. owned enterprise Coal India, is the largest company that produces coal in the world. Last year, it produced mammoth production of 44 crore tones. As this coal ministry is directly under the Prime Minister, the entire power regarding the same lies in his hands. The Principal Secretary of the PMO, Shri Pullock Chaterjee pressurized the public sector company Coal India, to pull off the their price rise and to get into an agreement with 100 enterprises for 20 years.
The Central Govt. ownes 90% shares of Coal India, where as 10% shares are owned by private companies. These private companies have complained that the Central Govt. is creating losses for Coal India. There is fear that these private companies might sue Govt. for the losses.
But,
Does it matter to the Hon. Prime Minister???
For all these years, that Shri Manmohan Singh has remained in power, the myth prevailed that he is a non-corrupt man.
What is corruption???
To take the bribe with your own two hands or your own involvement? Is that sufficient example of corruption? Suresh Kalmadi, A. Raja or Kanimozi have been charged for the akin acts and they are themselves paying for it.
But,
Being a mere spectator to the to the corruption crime is no less an offence. Sadly, our Hon. P.M. has adopted the role of Mahatma Gandhi’s Teen Bundars.’Bura mat dekho’, ‘Bura mat suna’ and ‘Bura mat bolo’..
And,
He coolly watches the one after the other scams happening.
It is heartbreaking to comment in harsh words for the person sitting in the Hon. Prime Minister’s chair and only due to the respect for the chair, one restrains one’s self from condemning and criticizing the person sitting in the honorable post.
But,
Now,
It seems even Shri Singh has blackened his hands in Coal gate Scam.

The breaking news and appeasement...

The Jaipur Literature fair has turned into the ‘Talk of Town’...It sounds appealing that literature is being talked about. Firstly, it is the visit of Opraha but more importantly or rather sensationally it is on the ban on the visit of Salman Rushdee, a Booker prize winner writer, born in Mumbai, India but now is based in U.K.
The ‘Freedom of Speech’ is a complex theory. Basically, it implies to freedom in expression of thoughts.
But,
Many a times, banning a book leads to banning the person. Salman Rushdie has written number of other books and actually Setanic Verses is not one of his best writings. Nor has he won the Booker’s prize for it. He has also written a beautiful book called The children of Midnight.
Agreed,
The Setanic Verses, has hurt the religious beliefs of the followers of Islam.
But,
Is it acceptable to ban the person who has written lots of other books and added colossal literature. The book has been banned that ignited the devout values of Muslims. Why ban the person from presenting his other creation???
Is it not height of appeasement???

Why this differentiated treatment among the citizens of the same nation?

Last month me and my husband were holidaying in Goa... Staying in South Goa at Benaulim beach, Goa was awesome. Beach was about a kilometer away from the R.C.I. resort were we were staying. It was fun walking up and down to beach atleast thrice a day...
Goa, a tourist paradise and especially, the heaven for travelers from all over the world, has also turned out to be the bliss for business. Clothes and hats and footwear and bags and jewellery and knick-knacks are all sold in plenty and the typical markets of holiday spots are fun to shop and roam around.
But,
The new addition among this growing market culture is Kashmiri shops. Every nook and corner has a Kashmiri products on display and sell. Beautiful Kashmiri carpets and delicate gems and jewellery, intricate embroidered kurtas and kaftans and ever so beautiful Pashminas are eye catching and attractive. The Kashmiris live peacefully and contentedly way away from their homes.
And...
The Kashmiris live peacefully and contentedly way away from their homes. Their businesses are flourishing. It is a pleasant sign to see a Kashmiris mingling with the other Indians...
But
It is equally painstaking to note that the way Kashmiris with poise, have shifted their base to earn and settle in any part of India, the rest of the Indian citizens, like all of us, does not have the liberty to do so... If the Kashmiris can roam around anywhere and everywhere to earnand grow, why we the rest of the Indian are not permitted to move to their land and settle??? Why the rules differ??? Had it been the comparison between other lands, the story could be slightly variable but this is the saga of Kashmiris living in any other part of this nation and we are not allowed to make Kashmir our home???
Pity, who got this Article 370???
And,
What for???

The media's blatant conduct...

Finally, the FDI [foreign direct investment] has been rolled back. The Govt. in center, which was adamantly eager to introduce such measure and begin to put the nation on sale, has had to suspend the programme till it found consensus.
FDI was an ultimate blow on the huge middle class as well as small scale entrepreneurs. It was argued by Govt. that FDI would give rise to atleast3 crores of jobs but what about the crores of small time retailers class that would be jobless??? It is a sure shot path that leads our currency out of our country.
And,
To stop this disaster, the strictest of method had to be implanted.
And,
It was inevitable that the opposition, adopt the firmest method that is non-violent and compel the Govt. to not only hold back but roll back its decision.
The opposition did that...
But,
The Media couldn’t digest it. [it could be international pressure on them, especially the western world that is funding our media barons] The media dramatically turned the scenario, against the opposition, proclaiming that people’s money being wasted in nonfunctioning of the parliament session!!!
This is utterly nonsense...
The opposition did not resort to any violent mean but vigorously pressurized the Govt. to dismiss this unfair policy. During pre-independence era, Mahatma Gandhi had adopted the Non-co operation movement and that was considered non-violent.
And,
Eventually,
The said movement became instrumental in bringing freedom to this nation.
Then, what was so unethical about pressurizing the Govt. to take action in favor of crores of common men of this country???
Isn’t the money that the Media claims that have been lost that belonged to people, is of crores of small scale entrepreneurs , whose houses would lose the light of the day, had this FDI became reality??? Their tears are valueless for the media...
Shame on you, media.

Foreign Direct Investment or Foreign destruction of India???

About 20 years back, in 1991 when Late Shri Narsimha Rao’s Govt. came in power, the Reserve Bank Governor was assigned the duty of finance ministry. The then RBI head entered politics, brought about “reforms”, introduced economic globalization and ignited revolution.
The economic globalization, opened the gates of foreign investment into our country and the global commercial activity paced up swiftly. Indian markets turned into market yard for foreign goods and the rotation of money began rapid.
But,
Till then, the foreign investment was limited to huge industries.. Of course, in due course, the Indian products suffered...
Now,
When that finance minister of N. Rao’s govt. has turned into “pacca” politician and become the head of the nation, he has gone a step further and added fuel to fire. The UPA Govt. in center, has announced the policy of FDI [foreign direct investment] in retail sector!!!
The propaganda by the pioneer of this policy, claims vehemently that FDI would enhance huge employment opportunity...
What about the small entrepreneurs who are in mammoth number of about 3 crores, would lose their business largely. Years back, the trading system of lending grocery and eatables to middle and lower class enabled them to carry on their standard of living without much hassle. The emergence of multi-nationals in retail would curb their ability to provide for their kith and kin in their low incomes. In addition, the load of shutting down of small businesses would on the contrary, create colossal chaos with increase in unemployment. The hardest hit would be the manufacturer class, consumer items producers and farmers, people engaged in cottage industries, when their handmade as well as small scale produces would be replaced by international goods. The farmer would lose his liberty to grow on basis of his need and capacity, rather he would be subjected to instructions from multi-nationals.
The enormous sum of exchange would slip away to foreign lands...
And,
Once again a new form of East India company would appear. In 1608, The East India Company, surfaced on the scenario and captured the Indian trade and economy and eventually ruled our nation for more than two centuries. The Indian economy was paralyzed and all its past glory was abolished.
We are once again on threshold of foreigners taking over our economy.. Tomorrow, this beginning might lead to foreigners taking over our administration..

Mother India to be led by a "Bacchccha"???

In 1950’s, very soon after independence, a film named “Jagruti” was released.. The film had a very melodious song...
HUM LAYE HAI, TUFAAN SE KASHTI NIKAL KE,
ISS DESH KO RAKHNA MERE BACCHO SAMAL KE....
More than sixty years have flown by ..
And,
Unfortunately [yes, unfortunately I repeat because as the song portrays that the generation next would take the rich heritage of our beloved motherland to the supreme prosperity.] the current political scenario has twisted the song and its meaning. Sadly, the ruling hierarchy that wishes to control the reins of Mother India, plans and strategizes to gift the supreme power of this nation, in the hands of a “bacchccha”...
A bacchha of 42 years.
Rahul ‘baba’ as he is fondly addressed!!!
And,
This Rahul “Baba” fulfils the trust that is thrust upon his shoulder, in full swing!!!
He goofs up not every now and than..
But,
Every than and than...
The latest being, locating the origin of a beggar...
But,
dear Rahul ‘baba’...
Your stinking statement, poses to be absolutely derogatory for the people of the state and moreover, it blows a severe bloat on the integrity as a single nation. It attacks on the feeling of brotherhood between the people belonging to various states. They instead of being citizen of India, gets fragmented into natives of Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh and so on and so forth. To gain the sympathy vote of few, who were present in the Sabha in Phulpur, U.P. Rahul ‘baccha’ addressed the few lakhs of the UPites, residing in the other parts of our own nation, in search of livelihood, as ‘baggers’!!! If at all, they have chosen to shift base to earn better prospect, they can not be demeaned as ‘baggers’...
Is Shri Krupashankar Singh, the Mumbai Pradesh Congress chairman, a bagger???
As he has shifted from native U.P. to Mumbai???
The Congressmen everywhere, around the country had difficulty in saving face, from common men’s rage on such degrading remark...
He commented further that his statement is to perform as an eye-opener, to the mis-managed rule of last 20 years by Samajwadi, BJP and BSP!!! The BJP has ruled for half a term in this span. Thus, he claims that no up liftment of Uttar Pradesh has taken place in last 20 years.
And,
The most outrageous statement is...
If Congress comes to power, he would enhance the development of the state within 10 tears...
The question here that arises...
How come and why the Congress run states are faring worse???
Why the investment is on decline in Maharashtra, a traditionally Congress strong hold???
The study released by Global Consultancy firm, Knight Frank has echoed the concern that the neighboring states cashing in on Exodus, in Maharashtra.. The state that Congress has ruled since its conception in 1960, except five year haul by Sena-BJP [1995-99].
Automobile Sector growth is on lower rate in comparison to Tamilnadu and Karnataka. Share of the Chemical industry in the state’s manufacturing pie has declined from 22% to 13%. State losing edge in manufacturing sector.Gujarat, A.P. and Karnataka gaining at Maharashtra’s expense.
Rahul Baba.. We the citizen of India are aware, you are dreaming or rather day dreaming about becoming the Prime Minister of India...
But,
Pahle apna ghar to Samalo.. Maharashtra, that Congress has ruled for years and the top order state that it was once upon a time, has been slipping away and you are claiming to be the mesiha for U.P.??? Why should the people of U.P accept that you and your team would bring them growth largely??? What are the credentials of your [Congress’s] performance???
Indian population wants a youthful P.M..
Young at heart, energetic, techno savvy as well as aware of country’s roots and heritage.. Not just age wise but more over mindset wise..
Why should they accept a goof up champ baccha???
Grow up baby, grow up...
