Is not KBC a gambling?

The programmes like 'Indian Idol' and 'Dance India Dance' select champions through proper screening by holding competitions across the country. Selection is based on merit and not on lottery. But the programme 'Kaun banega crorepati' selects candidates based on lottery. In the hot seat selected candidates answer questions and get exorbitant prices. Normally when a candidate answer questions he passes an exam and either gets a certificate or a job. But in KBC the stake is Rs 5 cr. No question-answer system offers such a price. So KBC is nothing but gambling. Since law of land doesn't permit lottery or gambling, this programme should be banned.

Coal, petroleum and metallic ores should be nationalised to avoid scams

According to CAG report there has been 1.85 lakh crore scam in allocation of coal blocks to private companies. There would have been zero scam had there been no private parties. All natural resources should be nationalised and should be owned and handled by govt agencies only. Had 2G spectrum been nationalised there would have been no 2G scam. Indian railways, SAIL, ISRO are bright examples of how public sector can serve the nation. Natural resources are limited and so need conservation also. Exploitation of natural resources should not be fast with the private participation. Exploitation of natural resources also destroys forest and environment.

Har ghar mein bijli

Prior to 15th Aug'2012 the slogan was 'har gaon mein bijli'. But now the slogan is 'har ghar mein bijli'. Recently we saw many states with around 60 cr people lived in darkness due to failure of power grid. Power grid failed due to excess  draw of power by the states of UP and Bihar. Naturally people of these states used excess power. Everywhere both in urban and rural areas a section of people use electricity illegally by throwing hooks to power lines or use electricity partly legally and major part illegally. They use heaters, air-conditioners, pumps etc. These appliances draw huge power and electric companies don't get return. There is huge loss of power due to transmission and power theft.
So before connecting all homes with electricity it should be ensured that there is no power theft. Production and selling of heating coils should be banned. Otherwise there would be regular grid failures and honest users of electricity would suffer the most.

Irregularity of Rs1.85 lakh crore in allocating coal blocks by the center

According to the CAG report there has been loss of Rs 1.85 lakh crore in allocating coal blocks to private companies. This amount would have gone to the exchequer had there been competitive bidding. Recently we have heard of irregularity in spectrum allocation. There was loss of Rs 1.75 lakh crore due to want of competitive bidding. Looking at these problems we can say that all national properties should be handled and managed by Govt. agencies. Private companies should be eliminated. Coal, petroleum, metallic mines, spectrum should be handled by Govt. We should take the example of Railways. How it is taking care of passengers and goods. Railways would function better if there would not be poll politics. Private companies should handle consumer items only. When companies operate mines it is difficult to monitor how much they extract.and how much they evade tax. India is a democratic socialist republic. But we are deviating from this ideology. Extraction of minerals is not important but conserving them for future generation and saving the environment is more important.

Team Anna's decision of contesting elections is a blunder

When India got independence Mahatma Gandhi wanted to disband Indian National Congress. Because when freedom fighters would contest elections they would loose their importance in the public eyes. Similarly Team Anna's decision of going to elections is misconceived. For fighting elections money is required. Those who have clean background neither can collect money nor can spend money. Even if they get power, power corrupts. They will be no different from other politicians. So it would have been right if the movement would have been carried on. Fight against corruption is a long process. In the society most minds are corrupt. They indulge in corruption whenever they get a chance. Those who are clean may not have got a chance.

Sikkim fully adopts organic farming

It is a good thing that Sikkim govt. has banned all pesticides that are used in agriculture. People of Sikkim growing crops and vegetables without using pesticides. Many farmers are adopting organic farming in India as well throughout the world. People have realised the harmful effects of pesicides on health. Punjab is the state to use large amount of pesticies. As a result people of Punjab are suffering from physical infirmities including cancer. One special train nicknamed as 'cancer train' runs for Punjab.
Govt gives subsidies on pesticides and fertilisers. Farmers take loan to purchase them. Lastly when crops fail due to one reason or other, farmers commit suicie under the burden of debt. So everybody suffers and only phrmaceutical companies gain. So pesticides and fertilisers should be replaced by organic pest control measures and organic manures.

Sorry state of colonial economy in America

The present day economy of mass production I call it as colonial economy. Because few manufactuers shall produce in large scale for the people inside and outside the country. Most pople shall not produce anything as hand-made. For this colonial economy has no ability to employ large workforce. This may be evident from the following figures of US economy.

1. About 43% of all American families spend more than they earn.
2. According to Reuters, approx. 24 million Amercan workers are either unemployed or underemployed.
3. According to th NY Times, approx 100 million Americans live under poverty line.
4. The poorest 50% of all Americans collectively own just 2.5% of all the wealth in USA.
5. The US debt to GDP ratio has now reached 101%. 

This shows how economy of mass production has brought economic disparity, unemployment, debt and stagnation.
