India - Challenges of Growth and Development

Corruption, BlackMoney , Lokpal and Affordibility of life ( Inflation)

Everyone is talking about corruption and one of most loved topic of media is black money, and now lokpal bill. There are many debates on all of this and everyone is talking about how to manage it or reduce the corruption.
I have not seen much talked and discussed about how these money is created, and why it is created and how to put of the hole.
Lokpal bill is one of the most important bill and it will improve the responsibility and bring corrupt cases into to forefront. Like RTI ( right to information act) it will be great achivement. This all will go in long way to become a nation who cares its people. I am not talking of Developed countries who do not care their own people and are arrogat. I am not talking of those who are least concerned about human rights and responsibility of powerful.
No, I am talking of nation India, who is responsible and humble towards world and its own people. Where every hand get work and dignity to sleep peacefully everynight with food and not worried for tomorrow's needs.
The major issues which India is facing to grow, and to grow responsibily. Without snatching or stealling from his own brothers and sisters.




  • Sources of Black money - One of the greatest challenge is our taxation system. India needs to deal with it and close the loopholes which creates blackmoney. ( I will write in detail on the issue. Only salaried class is tax payee because it is paid in bank and those who deals in millions of cash never gets tax notice)


  • India's Mandi Act ( food grain and agriculture commodities act)- This second source of proliferage.


  • Cash Transaction and banking in India. - All retail and wholesale trading happens as cash transaction. This must stop. This is source of black money, all kind of wholesale and retail transaction must be through bank. This will reduce cash and black money. Still more than half of India do not have banking account, let us make banking affordable to them. Give everyone of them account and reduce cash in system.


  • Indian Real Estate - Biggest investor or source where black is invested.


  • India Judiciary - Presently more than 10 years backlog is there in Supreme Court for constitutional bench. What kind of Governace are we talking off. If our highest court can not deal with matter of constitution for 10 years and many more years. The backlog of all other cases are well known. This is not justice system. India needs change in very first dimension of democracy, the justice. If this system can not deliver justice, what are we then talking off? We need a system which is time bound and accountable to deliver justice.


  • Accountability - If everyone is accountable and responsible for his task, why not judiciary? Let there will be system where Judiciary, including Highest Judiciary be held accounatable and required be prosecuted? Everyone here is human being and can make mistake so is judiciary, let there be a system which will held them accountable?


  • India Bureucracy - Let there be reform in indian bureucracy, politicians goes and comes back but our bureacracy remains there and needs to be cleaned.


  • Indian Criminal System - This is one of the area needs revamp. India needs clean, non corrupt IPC. Law and Order should be separate from investigation. Police and associated system is most corrupt and unaccountable system. They can put any one behind the bar for years under different law and after 5 to 10 years judiciary acquits him of wrong doing. What about lost time and injustice to him? Extra judicial killing is one of the most common phenomenon of Indian Police and Military. They are contract killer for Politician ( Gujarat or Business Mans, Delhi and Mumbai Cases). Do really India want such Police Force. We need a force, which people love to go to help. Present system is the system of British Empire and needs facelift.


  • Inflation is India's Foreign Policy Challenge and not Fiscal Policy Challenge.


  • Inflation is Indias Development Challenge, and not monetary or Fiscal Management.

Sovereign Debt Crisis: Investors Bet on Prospect of 'Greek Accident' - CNBC

Sovereign Debt Crisis: Investors Bet on Prospect of 'Greek Accident' - CNBC

This is called CDS, derivatives and many good name. I call them casino's and betting. This needs to controlled. No one has the right to tell and bet on others bankruptcy.

Why people should pay for those who are playing casino's. Let them play casino's. Please don't call it banking.

Keep the banking, only banking clean of all garbage.

Make investment banking, and all its instruments a separate system, and clearly mention their risk as casino's. Those who want to play, no one can stop them to play with their own money.

These people should not be allowed to play with retirees money, pension funds, university money and insurance money and governemnt money and tax payers money.

Let them play with their own money.

The best solution for Greece and Euro, is to default.

Let the banker take hit and haircut on their debt.

Tax payers should not be made to pay for luxury of bankers and banking.

Default will not be a trigger for next melt down.

Greek PM to Reshuffle Cabinet; IMF 'Concerned' - CNBC

Will Greece be trigger point?

No I don't think so?

It will not be a trigger for next melt down, it is already discounted in market. It is smaller than Lehman default? The strigger needs to be bigger. There is nothing to worry? If it default, then it is best thing now. If not then it will default in next year or so. Present situation of Europe is much better than USA. The toxic is in the system there and financial system.

European default in general will not be trigger for next meltdown? After Greece........ Irland...... Spain.........Portugal...........Italy. One at a time. Still no problem. They all will default in next three to five years time, if not now. Let us clean it.

Global meltdown trigger can only come from USA, I am waiting for AIG or Goldman, they will be the trigger for collapse.

In my opinion Fed will go for next round of easing and then let us wait for more.

This will be 3 to 5 years. And best job guarantee is War?

War is coming? Libya is one, Yemen next, then Syria and yes Sudan. This how to create jobs for 10% unemployeed US.

Arab world has started changing but now, this is turn of Europe to change.

Greece, Space and many more more regime will change.

The best option for Greece is to default

Euro Debt Crisis: Greece Crippled by Protests, Strike Over Austerity - CNBC

Greece are already junk grade CCC and nothing more to lose. The best option today for them is to default. Dubai defaulted and restryctured and now moving slowly so is Iceland. in 1996 currency crisis Indonesia along with other nations used the gimmick.
Why the nation and peoples pay for the American Mess? Let there be default, give the bond holder including the master of the ring Goldman big haircut. It will take some time but Greece will be soon out of crisis.
Default will help Greece to come out of the crisis soon. If we look at history of default then, Argentina and many more defaulted. The bond holder who paid for corruption and luxury must be held responsible and given good haircut on their value.
Why future generations pay for the crisis?
No to mess? No to Printing Press? No to Printing money worth nothing.
For the bright future and safe and secure tommorrow for the next generation best solution is default.
The bond holder must pay for their risk?
This is only way out.

Black Day For Indian Industry and Development of West Bangal

The Singur Drama - Justice or Injustice - Development or Backwardness

Revenge will never deliver anything, it will only deliver revenge. Those with good heart and good intentions never go for revenge.

Today is very sad day for West Bangal, it will start a long road to injustice. If west bengal people voted for development, Mamata Di with Pranob Da can not deliver it. In my career, I saw and experienced Tata's very closely and worked with their many social veentures.

I can say 100% and I am more confident no one Indian industrial house has the record as good as of Tata's to deliver the society, the most wanted justice.
Tata Trust and Tata Brand in general are known for their social commitment for last more than 150 years. This is more than the life span of Da and Di together. Tata's changed life of people through out the nation.

I remember very well when I was doing my MBA from Pune University, we visited Tata Motors and saw how their HRM work. I am really surprised to see how much care they take about their people. The man who was heading HRM knows workers with names, their kids and what they doing. What are the problems they are facing in society and always eager to solve it.

After my MBA, I was with the team which launched Tata Select Equity ( first socially responsible and shariah compliant fund of India.). I worked on many projects fully supported by Sir Ratan Tata Trust and Sir Dorabaji Tata Trust. I know how much they care about the society and problems society facing for livelyhood.

Unfortunately this is worst of decision by Di and Da. It will take West Bengal to 19th Century.

What is the record of Di and Da? Do they really have anything to show, except derailed Railway? From profit making to losses? Apart from shounting what else Di can do?

This will not be justice to anyone, it will start long battle between the state all powerfull and those who care for peoples of nation, definitely Tata.
Tata's has impeachable record of , no one can take it by legislation. This is long judicial battle. The battle which may take 25 years may be more, only my next generation will see if at all it happens, who wins.

Brand of Tata will win Hearts, because it is in Hearts of Indian. It is brand of India. No one can defeat it.
