Are we learning

Growth is possible only through learning. Problems will come but they must lead to learning and betterment. Or they will keep on occurring.

1. Scams

This is not the first scam. Time and again corrupt have looted nation and tax payers money. Why system is not evolving. When one scam comes to light why a system scan is not run to cross check other wrong doings. Why scams are caught only after they cross thousands of crores. Why such people find it so easy to flee. Point is - are we learning?

2. Kashmir

Indeed our neighbor is causing trouble but we can do few things to stop that. Their main motive is to provoke. We should act firm but should not fall in their trap. We must not cross LOC as this is exactly what they want that we keep crossing LOC and they present to world as victims. We must do following to defeat their evil design
- Let army do the work. They know best how to deal with situation.
- Improve intelligence and act fool proof on inputs.
- Tone down discussion on Kashmir especially on TV channels. Do not allow people from neighboring nation to lecture us on Kashmir. Stop excessive bitter debates on TV.
- Politicians must avoid giving statements on Kashmir.
- We need not say Kashmir is ours. It is as ours as any other state.
- Government must always keep option of talks open with everyone. Talk about peace, how to improve relation etc. But there must never be any talk on Kashmir. Kashmir is not negotiable. Pakistan and China must vacate part of India they have occupied.


3. Media

News channels are doing big disservice to nation. Everyday they indulge is bitter senseless debates. They are creating divide in society. And worse is they show clear political affiliation by cursing one party and saving other. This is damaging nation. Media must be politically neutral. Healthy debates are good for nation. But debates must be focused on problems and solutions. They should not be platform to settle political scores.


Are we learning as a nation? Or we are repeating patterns and mistakes. We must be honest about this.

Nation must stand firm

The evil designs of neighboring nations are at play. There are provocations and killing of innocent people.

This is the time to shed all differences. We may have different thoughts, we may support different political parties. But when it comes to nation, when it comes to our soldiers - tell them we are one.

We will speak in one voice. We indeed are very angry about our soldiers are being killed. We will unite even stronger and support our government in dealing with the situation strongly.

We wish to tell our neighbors. Every citizen of India is a soldier.

Let all of us where ever, in which ever profession, let us join hands and tell our army that we are with you. Your sacrifice is not in vain.

We will defeat enemies by all means.

Let Us Pledge

- I pledge to fully support my government in dealing with enemy.

- I pledge my full support to our defense services.

- I pledge to stay united with fellow countrymen and speak against enemy in one voice.

- I pledge to defeat every evil design by enemy against my country.


We are in debt of our soldiers. We too can play our part by staying united, living an honest life with commitment to make our nation strong and glorified. And that will be real defeat of enemy.

Jai Hind

Healthcare for all

Healthcare for all is a welcome step.

Health and education are two most basic needs of every human being as are food and shelter. It is necessary for state to take care of all citizens.

But there is a big risk too.

The way it is proposed, there is huge risk of corruption affecting this and costing nation. It can prove a major trap.

- Benefits may not reach real needy
- Scheme can be misused by big hospitals, insurance firms and middleman
- Misuse can lead to higher premium which can prove too costly for nation

Biggest drawback is nation is not building anything which can be used over and over again.

Idea is noble but nation must be cautious that it should not prove a burden, liability too big to handle.

Here it must be noted that poor people need timely and quality healthcare support but that is not necessary in luxurious big hospitals. Quality healthcare can be provided very cheap in simple hospitals which may not be luxurious but provide good treatment.

Money going in premium can instead be used in building secondary and tertiary level hospitals. One must remember that instead of making few huge hospitals which become too crowded, there should be more number of hospitals, smaller but easy to reach and more useful.

Scheme of Wellness Center is good. Such centers must have OT as well so that most of the cases can be handled there itself.

Treatment must be divided into two categories in these hospitals.
- Free for BPL people
- Nominal charges from lower income group people

A lot of emphasis must be there on prevention of sickness and cheap alternative treatment. Healthy diet, clean water, low pollution, regular exercise, yoga, ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopathy can help in a big way in both prevention and early treatment of sickness. This can reduce burden on conventional treatment.

Let there be healthcare assets in nation that can help citizens year after year.
