Unabashed and Unrestrained Dynasticism in the Indian Politics

There is no comprehensive law today to regulate and rationalize the functioning of the political parties. Political parties are not treated like public institutions in India, and tend to become private properties of individuals or families. Take the major players on the scene: The Congress is run by the Nehru Family; Samajwadi party run by Mulayam family;  RJD by Lalu family; LJP by Ramvilas Paswan family; DMK by Karunanidhi family. This is because no sufficient regulatory framework exists for the parties in law. There are no electoral rolls of the parties in the public domain or with the ECI; there are no transparent elections in them; there is no legal penalty for not following the party constitution; there is no transparent procedure for distribution of tickets by them for assembly and parliamentary elections, resulting in corruption, nepotism, casteism; there are no transparent procedures for grading and promotion of the party workers; there are no mandatory duties laid down for the parties and their roles are not defined in the law that would compel them to fulfill those obligations. 

If such a law and regulatory framework were in  place, neither Lalu kins would have got tickets so easily, nor would have they been made Deputy Chief Minister and senior minister in Bihar cabinet at the age of 25 or 26, bypassing the older and much more experienced persons like Abdul Bari Siddiqui of the RJD. Abdul Bari is an  old guard of the RJD, and a member of the minority community whose votes have propelled Lalu's party to the helm once again. But Lalu's love for his family has surpassed the love for the minority community without whose support he would have been nowhere today. Earlier he had ditched Ram Kripal Yadav for his daughter Misa Bharati. The seeds that  were sown by Jawahar Lal Nehru have multiplied and spread far and wide, and provided legitimacy to the practice of dynasticism in all parts of the country today, and, surprisingly, our talkative PM Mr. Modi has not talked once about bringing any law to regulate and rationalize politics and political parties in the country. Amazing Mr. Modi!

The side effects of capitalism that weighs every thing against dollars!

A specimen of capitalist mentality.

A certain gentleman Sanjib Sabhlok, who lives in Australia, and has founded a CAPITALIST party in India called Swarn Bharat Party, has written in his blog the following piece. Please read it carefully. It demonstrates how the votaries of capitalism weigh every thing against money, especially dollars. He thinks if beef business is India were encouraged properly, India's poverty would be removed. He does not see any harm in all cows and oxen, after they became useless,  being systematically butchered to earn money from farmers. The next generation capitalist Sabhloks are going to argue as under: All poor old men and women who are in any case likely to die of hunger and disease will earn for the country huge money if they were systematically butchered and their meat exported to many countries with cannibalistic traditions where human meat is still a great attraction as no other meat is as tasty as a man's. (When the African dictator Bokassa was  overthrown, limbs of children were found in his fridge as he was very fond of children's meat.)

Capitalism as an economic system is not obnoxious as its side effects that tend to completely dehumanize us, and make us treat money as GOD. Uncontrolled capitalism is a curse, just as a dictatorial socialist order is which is a euphemism for communism with single party rule. 

Animals are sentient beings and cruelty to any of them is inhuman. Humankind owes a greater debt to animals that serve them closely. Cows, buffaloes and the oxen are the top most among such animals. We should have feeling for them and they should not be treated as entirely subservient to the human kind. 

INDIA'S COWS COULD GENERATE 20 BILLION DOLLARRS FOR FARMERS IF SOLD AT MARKET PRICE TODAY!

Posted: 29 May 2015 07:35 PM PDT

India has around 45 million cows – the worlds' highest number of cows.
Today's market price for the best cows is around $900 AUD (around $700 USD) (say, Rs. 44,000). This is a record price, given rapidly increasing global demand.
Now, Indian cattle wouldn't meet that benchmark of quality or weight, but even then, they could potentially be worth $20 billion today. I haven't calculated, but I suspect that's more than the ENTIRE money spent on anti-poverty programs by India (I'm not counting subsidies which are generally misdirected, anyway).
An Indian farmer is generally unable to sell his cow for even Rs.5,000 under the restrictive conditions that operate in India today. But the global market price is significantly higher. That creates strong incentives for smuggling and crime, in addition to impoverishing the farmers and continuing the severe chronic malnourishment of Indian children.
If India began to scientifically grow cattle for beef consumption, it could make a very significant dent in poverty and malnourishment.
[Note – If such a large quantity of cattle actually entered the global market, the price of beef would significantly fall. But I trust you get the point]
