AAP: Beyond the Victory

I am apolitical. I support every effort for the goodness of people.

Let me first thank Delhi and the AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) for the election results today. We may be interested in knowing what led the AAP to such a landslide victory. The people of this country are discerning enough to distinguish pure and polished intentions. The Delites took legitimate time to judge Arvind Kejriwal. Depriving Delhi of its government just for political suitability has been rewarded with interest. The parliamentary elections witnessed arousal of public expectations inevitably followed by its doomsday. Danger of political elimination among non BJP parties forced them to aggregate against NaMo which helped AK to woo the unprecedented victory. It'll be AAP turn now to deliver as per promises made. The voters are good surgeon too.

The rival party must congratulate AK and announce that the new state government will be fully cooperated without any discrimination. AK too has to focus first on the areas where he can deliver without confronting with the centre. Mind the unique situation: NaMo won't allow to be labelled as a non-cooperator, he would prefer AK trapped in his own promises. We may witness a competition between NaMo and AK as to who delivers better. It is a win-win situation for the public. Delhi may be a role model of good governance.

It is a brief celebration time for the AAP as what follows is tough, rough and an acid test of fulfilling promises. It is efficiency that is on stake now.

It is time for both the BJP and the Congress to review the results and mend their affairs. Both can learn a lot from the newly born AAAP. Beware: Politics in typical sense is seldom tolerated now. India is undergoing the much needed education now, thank you media. Exposure of evil may ensure its eradication. Hope both the parties will be more useful and development friendly. It is injurious to raise raw expectations of the people. If they fail to establish direct relation between ability and reward, opportunity and its encashment; they will be in danger of elimination next time.

Teachers Day

Nation celebrates the Teachers' Day tomorrow. I have been a teacher over 25 years at secondary and senior secondary standard. Never missed my class and never skipped of teaching. I pay significant time to make my students muse over the issues like- what education is , what the value of education is, why we were rules for so long, why there are so many uneducated and poor among us, what is the nature of this world, survival of the fittest, concept of justice, parity , freedom and democracy, how the smart use the naive, etc. , etc. I have always marked real attendance and it ensured healthy presence of the students in classroom. I never allowed copying in exam and never promoted a student who was not prepared. I never worked for an Award.
It has been my experience that (a) there are a number of parents who are not able to get their kids educated. They must interrogate a teacher at the primary level if he/she is not doing the duty and at the same time food to the kid must follow the lesson. (b)There are only a few teachers passionate to their duty. Accountability is limited to the result and it is too superficial. (c) Schools are run by incapable heads in most of the cases. (d) only 5 to 10 percent students are worth calling students. The rest seem to waste every thing in schools. (e) Governments appear to making efforts for education but the fact is- no govt has ever wished that the people be educated in the sense of the word.
I congratulate all the teachers who are passionate to their duty. The duty is so sublime that nothing else but the duty is the best reward.
WE MUST KEEP IN MIND ALL THE TIME THAT EDUCATION IS THE SHORT CUT TO SOLVE ALL THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE TODAY.

To Get Rid Of Ill-Education

We have to get rid of ill-education. Nation first need to be the norm guiding our thought and action. We are to weaken the labels that divide us. Humanity is a self sufficient label. Need to curb the leadership that is based upon such labels. We are to establish direct relationship between ability and achievement. This only will ensure all the stimuli needed to inculcate ability among the masses. Let the places of learning be more effective and splendid than the places of worship. If we are able to think logically, feel patriotically, act humanistically and expect rationally then the apprehensions will dilute. Again it all depends upon the use of power that is ascertained by the purity of intentions. I wish India not as a threat within or to the world but as a nation fostering peace and prosperity trans borders also. The day I choose to live and work for my India, apprehensions and divisions begin to disappear and sheer positivism begins to originate. Can we dare to confine all the marks of division? A leader stimulates us for that and we choose. Pave the way to fraternity by curbing all the forces that are fed on the divisions. Mind and beware - its not easy because it's very difficult to get rid of ill education and say no to it.

Political Reforms

May I expect? Series..............

2- Political Reforms (involving election reforms)

Why has the word politician become the most undesirable but most sought after?

We know the reason so let's work to erase 'the most undesirable' part.

First of all we are to ensure that no crude stuff who is only after power with all its luxuries may join the politicians' class. So lay norms. We need not only educated, able or experienced people. Rather we need people who are passionate, committed, honest, democratic, energetic, free from personal and family responsibilities, open frame of mind, humane or 'divine' in one word.
Let such people come forward. Train them.  Fix target and let them achieve these targets. Pay them.

Let the political parties form on the basis of alternative approach to the unanimous goals of nation building only. Power grabbing can not be the basis of party formulation. Let the parties be either national or regional only. We need to ensure that promises to the voters before going to election have to be kept or it will be sufficient basis of ousting them of power.

Make voting mandatory. Vote by mobile has to be made possible. Train the voters to vote by mobile and use the money saved from the existing way of election. Make it mandatory for every body to announce his/her candidature from the constituency at least 2-3 years prior to next election. At least 51% voters' support must be there to win.

Summarily- The reforms follow the wisdom, participation and unity of the voters.

Educational Reforms

May I expect? Series..............
1- Educational reforms:-
Where education transforms us into an able, well informed, rational, skilled, healthy, peace loving, disciplined, environment friendly and passionately committed to the nation citizens of India.
All the educational institutes, syllabus and teachers have to work for this mission in perfect collaboration. Let ability be the sole criterion for achievement.
So calculate the man power of today and tomorrow. Calculate the skill required to build India a leading country and allocate the work force to inculcate that skill. Let the schools-colleges be a factory producing ability and skill and let the industry be the places of acquiring that education the workers missed. The places of education and work have to be linked. Mind the demand supply law of economics. No education be useless and no worker be unproductive or idle. The country for example must know how many teachers, doctors, engineers, scientists, politicians, economists, lawyers, judges, workers,etc. etc. needed in next 5 years with what quality and how they will be prepared par excellence.
Stop the education that is too expensive, purposeless, substandard, superficial, useless, marks and exam oriented, dissociated and much more.
Our educational institutes stand no where in the world and the status of research and patents is miserable.
Education need to be free of cost and let the learner who is 15+ contribute to the nation building to meet the cost state may bear. Let the 15+ study for 6 hours and work for 4 hours while the 25+ do the reverse and the rest (50+)as may be decided by the experts.

Can We Dare And Afford?

Amid the speculations over Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharrif's accepting India's invitation to join NaMo's swearing ceremony, I wonder what makes politics so twisted!

It is said "Politics is all about acquiring and then holding power and power is never rational, just, proportionate, peace loving, pragmatic, humane or divine in one word."

The word 'we' in the title stands for both India and Pakistan. Both of us can continue to look in the past and choose not to come out of it. It may serve the vested interests of both the sides. Polarization of votes in India and so called Allah-Army-America nexus in Pakistan. It makes it possible for Pakistan to spend most of its resources on defense forces and to crush the cry of misery that follows showing fear from India. It makes it possible for the Army to enjoy both power and luxury without waging a real war against India. Fear is the most effective weapon to be-fool and exploit masses. Fear from God and India has been a double dose.

Otherwise-

1-Why don't we see the rulers striving for fearlessness among the subject? Fearlessness originates when people are rational, aware and enlightened. Education in the sense of the word makes it possible. Such education is not seen neither here nor there.

2- How can both Pakistan and India  stick to their claim on whole of  Kashmir? Pakistan may continue to test India's patience through promoting terrorism. The Muslim community in India may not have assessed how this makes their position in India vulnerable. When two cats quarrel, monkeys are not far behind. America and China serve the role of monkeys.

3- Why don't we the rulers of India and Pakistan dare and afford to come to an agreement that may suggest:-
The claim of each over the other side of Kashmir is suspended for 50 years. In this period both the countries will make it a point to develop the territory competing each other. This formula may also be applied between India and China for the border issue.

How long man will continue to fight for territory and labels? Has man ever waged a war for humanity, peace and development? Unless the wise among us unite and make it possible, the vicious power will go on crushing mankind and beware- there has never been a god that may intervene. Only we have to bring paradise down to earth.
