Responsibility

Padmini Arhant

The Pulwama gate in Jammu & Kashmir in 2019 involving 40 or more murder of young personnel of CRPF directly under Indian Central Government, New Delhi intelligence, Defense Ministry, Home Ministry and National Security purview revived by none other than the New Delhi regime in collusion with so-called independent journalism in disguise.

Governorship is a post in Indian politics continued from the colonial era of British Raj.  However, contemporarily the post serve as nothing more than political pawn and weapon for corrupt authoritarian regime in New Delhi to launch cowardly nuanced attack against me (in adaptation of global masters’ strategy) – using various monicker from Tamil Nadu to Jammu & Kashmir and wherever applicable.

What is Governorship in Indian political system?

Under British Raj  in the absence of State autonomy and political representation via legislative assembly brought into political structure post Indian independence, the governor post was created to report to the colonial hierarchy at that time.

Indian politics retained the governor post though appointed by ruling government, originally under  President administration ambit in political system.

The President of India – the appointee through Parliament vote by members from the lower and upper house and states of the Indian Union.

The President prior to the incumbent regime rule was the head and commander-in-Chief of the combined defense force – Army,  Navy and Air Force besides being the head of Governors in the Union Federation .

The President also presided the upper house  – Rajya Sabha governance. The President position in Indian politics was not merely ceremonial like cutting ribbons on events nationwide.

President’s rule is one of governmental functions which is often enforced in Indian states upon state legislative assembly dissolution for reasons varying from ruling power losing majority to any serious political crisis in the state or Union territory of India.

Now the Presidential position and Governorship under the current regime in New Delhi like everything else made redundant. The entire functionaries and institutions from Chief of combined Defense Forces to basically all and everything…brought directly under Prime Minister’s control and absolute authority.

In the above detailed background;

Just a week ago, BJP appointed former governor of Jammu & Kashmir Satyapal Malik suddenly emerges in an interview on devious media channel sharing the Pulwama attack in February 2019 then barely before national election in May 2019 and several political usual corruption details leaving an impression of vague and ambivalent characteristics of the interview providing intended fodder for state channel networks and state recruited social media to raise scripted questions like –

Why is the Governor Satyapal Malik talking about 2019 Pulwama incident now in 2023?

Why did the Governor not resign after Pulwama attack and instead continued obliging ruling regime’s designated governor posts in other regions of the country?

What is the real motive behind the Governor spilling beans against Prime Minister with national election in 2024?

The usual political connivance played by the regime deploying own member of the governance – the governor to smear and discredit none other than the real adversary and staunch political critic – myself incessantly and obsessively pursued by politics for challenging status quo. The convoluted political tactics against me is baseless and debunked effectively on every occasion.

For the recordI’m not and have never been a member of any political party, faction, organization and infrastructure anywhere. My representation is solely and exclusively with the divine mission. The public statement in this regard is an established fact.

Soon after the Governor Satyapal Malik’s interview,  the channel wire presents a male guest apparently American Indian touted actor, activist and issues with New Delhi regime and local Karnataka politics.

The guest scenario in semblance with my profile on origin and nationality etc. except GENDER my female identity in the typical misogynist criminal indulgence replaced with male with occupation as actor in direct contradiction with my genetic and professional details. The other being the regional state of Tamil Nadu substituted with another southern state Karnataka.

The interview focus is the American Indian’s overseas citizen of India (OCI) status revocation. This is a permanent visa granted by Indian government to expatriates of Indian origin. The immigration status lobbied by overseas Indians was actually passed and made effective under former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s tenure.

The same now weaponized by current New Delhi regime against individuals of Indian origin abroad targeted as not anti-India or anti-government rather anti-Narendra Modi.

The regime has set few examples cancelling visa against voices expressing concern on Indian democracy transition to autocracy – precisely legitimizing the voices’ claim through the regime’s undemocratic and political intervention in immigration action.

In that interview the Kannada male actor is specifically asked by the interviewer Karan Thapar to comment about the chief of New Delhi regime – Indian Prime Minister.

The actor responds to that question by certifying the PM as not corrupt and further elaborates on the PM so-called sacrifice of marital and homely material life (?)threading the comment in positive affirmation regardless of the guest purportedly ongoing immigration problem not barring several arrests etc. with the regime according to the interview.

Subsequent to Wire interview of former Governor Satyapal Malik’s leaks on Indian Prime Minister’s advise to Governor Malik to remain silent on the Pulwama murder per the Governor’s disclosure during the interview,

The political maelstrom was expected which was again tactfully contained by the regime with full cooperation and coordination from state managed press and media.

Arguably the heat on Pulwama still on under simmering fire demanding the Prime Minister to offer explanation on dereliction of duty in Pulwama  gate.

The reasonable demand made considering the former State of Jammu & Kashmir demoted to Union Territory for the purpose of New Delhi regime direct authority on all Kashmir affairs – the security in particular under Prime Minister.

In the aftermath of consecutive failures in security only having escalated since Kashmir’s 370 Abrogation transformed into Union Territory under New Delhi regime’s administration,

The Pulwama is just one of many incidents with the latest being in the valley with Indian security forces reported casualties five personnel – four are reportedly from Punjab in the government stated terror attack in Jammu & Kashmir’s Poonch described as dastardly and horrific.

In this context, the channel wire features the guest this time is Amarjit Singh Dulat, the former Chief of Research & Analysis Wing with no specifics on which sector and industry so on…?

The guest Amarjit Singh and the interviewer Karan Thapar in this wire interview squarely blame the Indian military in Jammu & Kashmir as revealed in the image title and briefed as follows:

Kashmir Poonch Terror Attack April 2023 


“The Army dropped its guard” –  implying the Indian military allowed the loss of its own personnel in Poonch terror incident.

The assertions in this interview by both the interviewer and interviewee strongly suggest the military responsible for the lapse while confirming in the interview that military sanitized the passage prior to the terror assault.

There is no mention of the New Delhi regime responsibility in the interview given the Prime Minister’s overreaching consolidation of governance and ministerial portfolios in the One-Man executive role in the so-called world’s largest democracy.

Not to mention the references of acronym PAFF aided by the interviewer Karan Thapar in the expansion as – People for anti-Fascism Front allegedly associated with Pakistan’s terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed in the interview.

Interestingly one of my blog posts titled ‘Silencing Free Speech and Facts is Fascism’ attracted public comment positively in agreement with importance of free speech and facts to protect democracy.

The New Delhi regime’s insane obsessiveness and political sensitivity to articles published on this site and sub-domain not without unruly and undemocratic interceptions in publication to control free speech and freedom of expression is prompting relentless efforts to demonize and discredit factual presentations on issues related to India and humanity at large.

Notwithstanding the channel wire and the interviewer Karan Thapar collaboration with the regime clarifying the journalism in disguise as independent and investigative proved not necessarily as such in the above three interviews featured in the past weeks until now.

The charade is yet another innuendo on my independent position to raise doubts on the well substantiated content of the publications on Indian regime and all matter.

When in fact the New Delhi regime and the media viz. wire seeking public donations for the channel operation are incumbent to comply on checks and balances with integrity refraining from complicity and collusion to jeopardize real independent journalistic reporting and incontrovertible factual data on this site and sub-domain.

Wire and Karan Thapar – Whom are you actually working for?

and

Whom do you represent in these deliberate misrepresentations? 

No matter how the situations are circumvented on wire and assortment media platform, the ruling government in power is responsible to address public demand for explanation on Pulwama to Poonch terror on the regime’s watch as ultimate authority.

All said and done, the buck stops at the highest office on land occupying the position of power as authority with formal title and fanfare. 

Power is responsibility and not privileges and political impunity alone prevalent in the present setting.

India – Election Fraud

March 17, 2023

India – West Bengal 2021 Bypoll 

Padmini Arhant

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee projected as rival and so-called opposition to national political party BJP and incumbent in New Delhi, the former role in the state’s bypoll in 2021 is noteworthy for two reasons.

1. For voter awareness and awakening in the Chief Minister’s own state – West Bengal.

2. Another scene play with script and performance at national level is ready to roll in general election in 2024.

The 2021 bypoll in West Bengal – the ruling party Trinamool Congress (TMC) wins comfortably against national political party BJP with a large majority in the State Assembly headed by the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Now individually, the TMC candidate Mamata Banerjee contested from two constituencies rather than just one – breaking the tradition held from 2011 – 2021.

In that bypoll – the West Bengal State assembly candidate Mamata Banerjee contested from her original home turf Bhavanipur against BJP’s female candidate interestingly bearing the name Priyanka Tibrewal.

Mamata Banerjee is reported to have won a major victory against BJP’s Priyanka Tibrewal with a margin of 58,832 votes in Bhavanipur constituency.

Source: The Hindu News – thehindu.com

October 3, 2021.

“Mamata Banerjee back in Bengal Assembly with Bhabanipur win

Bengal Chief Minister registers record margin of 58,835 votes over BJP’s Priyanka Tibrewal.”

In the same bypoll in 2021, the candidate Mamata Banerjee contesting in a different constituency Nandigram where she did not have a firm footing or popularity given voter grievances against the TMC chief is challenged by BJP’s male candidate Suvendu Adhikari who reportedly defeated Mamata Banerjee by 1956 votes. Though not a substantial margin, the defeat of Mamata Banerjee by BJP’s male candidate is registered important.

The difference in margin of votes in victory and defeat of Mamata Banerjee in two different constituencies deserve attention from voters in West Bengal and Indian electorate en masse for present and future reference.

The Bhavanipur constituency delivering victory to Mamata Banerjee is a wide margin 58,832 votes giving Mamata fancy wings to fly with BJP in national contest as defacto. In a way flattery and adulation in politics is never enough.

Contrarily, in Nandigram constituency, the low key 1956 votes a mere digit higher than Mamata Didi’s birth year is assigned to the loss to safeguard Mamata Didi’s image in West Bengal and national politics that is tarnished and damaged in controversial Sarada financial scam used by BJP against Mamata Didi.

The typical arsenal for sitting Indian Prime Minister and Home minister against members within and outside  political establishment, institutions and organizations they target for nefarious goals. 

These two glaring distinctions in the so-called electoral outcome in this bypoll in West Bengal is litmus test on electoral process legitimacy dismally  failing as it is clearly indicative of refined calibration of results to suit political manipulators strategy. 

That’s unfortunately the sad fate of Indian democracy and election credibility having become nothing more than a number for easy political maneuver however possible.

TMC Chief Mamata Nanerjee winning by significant margin against BJP’s Priyanka Tibrewal is attributed to Mamata Banerjee as the candidate. The rival BJP’s Priyanka Tibrewal on the other hand is the proxy nominated as Padmini Arhant by BJP losing miserably in the make-believe contest.

Simultaneously, BJP’s male candidate Suvendu Adhikari winning against the candidate Mamata Banerjee now this time is apparently Padmini Arhant.

The deeply insecure incumbent Prime Minister of India is using political factions and proxies to gain satisfaction from bizarre ridiculous imaginary swaps again borrowed from the masters to witness and rejoice my loss in elections that I am no part of  to begin with.

The same scenario is ready to be rolled out with none other than TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee cast as me i.e. Padmini Arhant with incumbent BJP Prime Minister candidate defeating Mamata Banerjee as Padmini Arhant with a landslide margin in 2024 national election.

That’s the reason TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee is advised to remain aloof from the rest of the opposition and announced the solo bid in 2024 general election to aid Indian PM’s devious agenda.

Indian incumbent Prime Minister, Home Minister and so-called political opposition in India kow-towing to international clique, their masters in global arena are reminded once and for all on status quo between you and me and that is explicitly fait accompli.

Accordingly politics squandering public taxpayers money in pseudo elections against me to serve egotistical megalomaniacal political aspirations is lunacy reflecting desperate times seeking desperate downfall – the current stark reality. 

What the TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee as the state’s Chief Minister must explain to voters in West Bengal and Indian electorate at large is the quid pro quo between West Bengal CM and Indian PM.

What exactly transpired between the two members prompting Mamata Banerjee to engage in 2024 national election as a single candidate?

What kinda of rewards promised and agreed to for this performance earlier in 2021 West Bengal bypoll and the one organized in 2024?

Indian democracy as such long been subverted and laid to rest. The political theatrics by the ruling and so-called opposition only deceive voters in West Bengal or any state and national electorate.

Indian politics is in serious crises with corruption, power struggle and plutocracy in governance.

Finally, reiterating earlier statement that I’m Padmini Arhant. My name is Padmini Arhant and not whoever wherever whatever name they choose for me that would be my identity. Such charade only confirm politics in fools paradise.

I say to Indian and international polity – the incognito in particular presiding over the ignoramus identity swap imposed on me as their prerogative.

I need no more namkarans – christening with any names of your choice or random naming which is.a serious violation of my individual right in identity theft mania ultimately hurting all those involved without exception in severe karmic effects.

India – Declassify Information

India – Declassify Information

Padmini Arhant

While fake news and incessant propaganda continues unabated on alleged threat to incumbent Prime Minister’s position and life,

When the contrary is true in abuse of power committing crimes with impunity throughout political career till date.

Indian politics – the ruling and so-called opposition collusion and complicity on many national issues is the norm. Among them, the electoral bonds inviting flurry of unlimited funds and illicit financing from anywhere nationwide and across the globe auctioning democracy and election is a leaf plucked out of yet another so-called democracy branch.

The United States’ Supreme Court ruling on unlimited corporate and special interests’ cache cashing in on political candidacy from top to bottom i.e. Presidential race to municipal, city and mayoral election is political establishment cash trove.

Indian incumbency raucous on sedition charges with slogan coined as Tukde Tukde gang translated as disintegration mob referring to one of Delhi Universities’  Jawaharlal Nehru Unuversity (JNU) students isolated and profiled on unsubstantiated sedition allegations.

In the backdrop of Indian politics unanimity in many critical national issues whether flouting democratic rules and principles in electoral process via controversial electoral bonds or evading surrender of illegal wealth stashed in offshore tax havens and exotic island nations by political class across the spectrum setting precedence for the rest to follow in economic, entertainment and religious cult,

Indian political unity at the state and national level in the non-disclosure of pertinent facts in the following matter concerning India and Indian republic especially in 75th anniversary of Indian independence celebration raise these questions.

The subject is related to none other than India’s nationally and internationally renowned patriots and iconic legends in their own rights who significantly stood up to colonial rule to free India from colonization.

India’s freedom movement leader Mahatma Gandhi – assassinated by RSS associated Nathuram Godse.

RSS – the fundamentalist organization never shying away from deal making with then imperialists for individual and Hindutva ideological interests had a member Nathuram Godse pulling the trigger on the leader Mohandas Karamchand Gandhithe pioneer of non-violence independence struggle energizing the freedom March pre-1947.

India’s other proud son – the brave and tenacious Subash Chandra Bose having challenged British Raj oppression until his mysterious disappearance albeit known to Indian polity regardless of party affiliations such as Congress and BJP as two major national political parties seated in power since independence as dominion republic and until now.

Last nonetheless relevantly India’s exemplary political leader and office bearer – Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri who practiced righteousness and anti-corruption valuesoxymoron in politics share similar classified information tag.

Then Prime Minister Shastri hailing the soldier and farmer in the famous slogan – Jai Jawan Jai Kisaan was genuinely a populous leader at that time. Subsequent to ending India – Pakistan war in 1965 with ceasefire and signing peace agreement to that effect in January 1966 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, the Indian PM is declared no more the day later.

Indian politics together with international ally summed up the contentious issue as heart attack behind Indian PM Lal Bahadur Shastri sudden passing away in Tashkent, Uzbekistan – then under former Soviet Union in 1966.

In 2023,

Are the Indian political leadership in New Delhi and political party BJP along with so-called opposition in Parliament and state assembly prepared to come forward and declassify information on unnatural cause of deaths of all three leaders?

Their sacrifice for the nation they endeared were exemplified with utmost commitment towards liberty and sovereignty?

1. What is the compelling factor for Indian politics to have accepted foreign and internal forces versions on all three leaders’ deceased status that remain highly speculative till date?

2. To whom are the Indian political class obligatory and pledged secrecy under oath in maintaining paradoxical data on India’s proud sons as veteran leaders and soul of Indian freedom?

Nottwithstanding Indian politics’ dismissal of Indian republic awareness on their leaders popularly known as Father of the Nation,

The leader Subash Chandra Bose creating Indian National Army defending self-determination of his nation and citizens against foreign subjugation and,

India’s truly honorable Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri whose words to the nation were translated into action and whose actions reflected unity and progress for entire country.

The late Prime Minister Shastri also a visionary who acknowledged farmers and soldiers as two guardian angels for a nation unlike the contradictory treatment of both defense personnel and farmers today under current national leadership and administration.

3. Finally, What is going to take besides courage and integrity for Indian politics at the national and state level to declassify real factual information behind unnatural deaths including one known assassination of these three leaders?

India – Banks’ Bankruptcy

India – Banks’ Bankruptcy

Padmini Arhant 

NB: The following message aptly fits plutocrats running the gamut in world stage. The loot and scoot culture is a revolving door returning to old habits not die hard instead declining death and contrarily revival to rip off average folksthe fair game and easy target for plutocracy and kleptocracy.

Indian politics run by plutocracy and kleptocracy need to look no further than pay attention to own house in disarray. 

Indian national bank viz. State Bank of India, Life Insurance Corporation of India… among large national banks and financial conglomerate serving specific corporate interests viz. Adani, Ambani, Tata  Vedanta groups and alike…granted free unlimited unfettered access to squander public savings, insurance and annuities held in the finance and insurance industry. 

The worst among government involved banks’ bankruptcy is the government aided fugitives syphoning public funds held in savings and deposits leading to major Indian banks such as the Punjab National Bank and similar ones nationwide shuttered shattering ordinary depositors trust and life earnings leaving them on the lurch with some even committing suicide from the trauma earlier in demonetization and thereafter in series of banks’ insolvency. 

Whatever is left in financial sector in India doubled down with leading corporate entity i.e. Adani groups rapid down slide in stock market with national impact considering New Delhi central government magnanimity handing the Adani companies ownership of national assets from airports to seaports, farmlands, mining areas…pretty much national landmass to one or two corporate empires since assuming office in 2014 until now.

The New Delhi national leadership legacy contributing to super wealthy status of Adani, Ambani and selective plutocrats are hardly a matter of pride rather treasonous to the nation and citizens at large. 

Accordingly, shunning own reflection cannot make the mirror show image other than the one in it. 

Getting own house in order prior to wanton indulgence to shame anyone in nuanced nonsensical charade is the least expectation from those who are in no position to engage in mud-slinging using any pretext. 

Indian politics and their recruits IT sleeper cells on social media – realization in this regard is important.

The crony sycophant political punditry on New Delhi payroll fromTamil Nadu in particular is reminded on propaganda claiming any well substantiated factual information on debilitating Indian affairs viz. political, economic, social and environment status presented in this site and sub-domain an attempt to derail New Delhi national leadership is nothing more than evading accountability on abysmal performance in the past nine years only worsening as time goes by.

Above all, the political punditry in Tamil Nadu introducing self as Senior journalist is further enlightened on the national leadership current situation.

Anyone lying flat on their face shrouded in doom and gloom require no external interference in the self-chartered precipitous fall accompanied by sycophant punditry and servile contingency landing in bottomless pit.

India – Political Paradox

March 2, 2023

India 

Political Paradox  

Padmini Arhant

Update 03/03/2023 : 

India’s dominion republic status upon overt colonial rule stepping aside in 1947 celebrated as independence was presented the parting gift – the partition of India into India and Pakistan with Kashmir becoming the negative dividend for Kashmiris in general. 

In 2023, Indian politics drum roll on 75 years of independence jubilation in essence is independence for political class from any checks and balances, transparency and accountability to the people as the republic.

Corruption presiding politics permeating across economy, institutions, organizations and general society, the goon and gutter politics premised on harassment and bribe is the cardinal rule. 

The political establishment having defused constitutional governed democracy, eliminated states and institutional autonomy, the open field is the grooming ground for authoritarianism. 

At the same time, the political class surrender to oligarchy running a muck besides kowtowing to foreign diktat to retain puppet position as the head of the state trickling down political hierarchy i.e. state and below to municipal level is the pattern.

The pyramid with oligarchs and foreign syndicate at the apex exerting authority and the ones below executing apex order is the design. 

The colonial impact on Indian politics in divide and conquer strategy inversely producing divide and destroy unity generated Indian partition in 1947.

In 2023 –  75 years later, the demolition of democracy promoting dictatorial system is the present irony. 

The development is precisely the dream come true for foreign syndicate championing seeding, breeding and nurturing oppressive regime submissive to external agenda emerging from death of democracy with examples worldwide.

Update 03/002/2023: The central government’s indifference to Adani groups scandal and contrarily New Delhi regime’s latest allegation on Delhi administration deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in the alleged liquor scam with CBI probe and potential arrest of the accused prior to any presentation of incontrovertible evidence in this issue is open shut government bias and political motive. 

The New Delhi central government chief and head of Adani empire close ties and relations goes back to Gujarat days when the incumbent PM was then Chief Minister of Gujarat aided by Adani business financing political campaign of then Gujarat CM candidacy continued till date at national level. The mutual exchange of economic and political gains on both sides is the trajectory.

Understandably, in the backdrop of New Delhi central government and Adani groups intimate partnership, any effort from the government to investigate Adani groups scandal is a far cry. 

On Adani-gate, the current developments to investigate via Supreme Court committee allowing the panel to hire experts from outside arguably attract public speculations on the implicated party viz. Adani groups’ and their influence on Indian economic sector and central government.

Regardless, the average citizens’ exercising individual discernment and diligence in dealings between Adani groups and their close partner in politics – the New Delhi Chief in national government and draw conclusions would be prudent.

On personal note:

Political Folly and Provocation – The New Delhi regime is reminded on the obsession using proxy in politics, media and general society to target me is lame and ludicrous. The indulgence revealing misplaced priority for the head of the government in deep crises in domestic and international front is conspicuous.

The constant disparaging and personal attacks against me thus far using members in own contingency is crass reflecting deep insecurity. 

As I said earlier, anyone lacking in originality adapting their master’s failed and flawed unscrupulous tactics deploying proxies and pawns from own inventory or domain in indignation of me are categorically in fait accompli. 

There are several incidents to cite from politics and government hired performer instigated into provocative statements and display much to the hirer as the provocateur and deliverer hired in the sham. 

The case in point is BJP member Nupur Sharma contracted by the head of the New Delhi regime airing inflammatory remarks about Islam’s Holy Prophet (PBUH) on BJP networks supposedly in retaliation to an Indian muslim guest’s comment on Hindu worship of God Shiva in the orchestrated show hosted by BJP media.

The raucous did not end with the show. The theatrics subsequently featured Nupur Sharma with victory signs alluding to me considering the sequence of this bizarre episode.

The foolish enactment is not the only isolated incident with politics deliberate provocation in this regard leading to my message in cautioning the power in particular on respect.

Respect is never one way street with a dead end. 

The government chief’s persistence with trolling tagging, invasion of private home and life with contentious illegal spyware pegasus, snooping, eavesdropping and espionage against me is futile and shameful. 

Not to mention the indecent perversion and unlawful intrusion in personal life and space of an individual is a disgrace and deplorable for the head of the so-called democracy. 

Those abusing power and status in serious violations of other’s private space, life and rights are to be aware that while they may think such violation is their entitlement.

They shall not forget they are on the all-knowing and all-seeing divine supreme power’s radar with their deeds to be accounted for in living and upon demise. The fact even more applicable to perpetrators abusing political power and means as well as those with religious connotations stating selves as Saint having emerged from Amarnath cave or wherever.

All issues related to any subject matter presented in this site and sub-domain are confined to relevant policy, actions and decisions of government affecting mankind.

The New Delhi authority exerting control to prohibit free speech is a travesty for a system proclaimed democratic.

Not long ago the NDTV Indian channel, albeit political class representative showcased moderate network was taken over by Adani groups at government behest to indicate a hostile acquisition equivalent to muzzling ordinary people voice against government.

All said and done, the systemic abuse of power invariably proven counterproductive for sources and catalysts with serious repercussions.

Corruption Mar Election

Tamil Nadu Erode East By-Poll

Padmini Arhant 

The cash for votes norm proliferating in the so-called democracy makes election farcical.

The trend prevalent among all political parties and factions led to BJP government in New Delhi legislation of electoral bonds with Indian political opposition unanimous consent casting votes in favor of the bill in parliament.

The ruling and opposition collusion in introduction of anti-democratic unlawful electoral bonds as lawful in funding political campaigns and candidacy explain the political pact among political establishment at the center and state province.

The legislative assembly poll in Indian southern state Tamil Nadu monetizing electorate with Rs. 1 lakh per family on the basis of Rs. 25,000 per voter in a family of four eligible voters translated into $1,250 per household speaks volume on the unaccounted cash flow in circulation among politics to afford such generosity.

Not to mention a serious blow to democratic electoral process marred by rampant corruption.

The politics played in the state and national level is a true revelation on democracy dissipation with election proven a mere formality to legitimize illegitimacy in governance.

The election commission redundancy is evidenced in national government in New Delhi having written off election commission inconvenient and an obstacle,

The state political rulers in Tamil Nadu – the incumbent DMK inherently a political dynasty with power inherited over three generations right now lead Indian politics in black money hoarding in Swiss bank and other tax havens exploiting political impunity on crimes that are otherwise punishable by law for average citizens in the state and nationwide.

The brazen election violations confirm the illegal money power in direct buy-out of voters in the so-called democratic mandate.

The BJP government in New Delhi – the veteran in dissolving state assembly and opposition political groups nationwide deploy colonial divide and conquer strategy. Additionally horse trading in open bidding and buying elected MPs and MLA’s with black money is exhibited as political prowess aka guru exacerbating corruption.

Although BJP criticizes name-sake political opposition on dynasty politics, BJP government and political party sharing dynasty lineage is irrefutable.

The BJP government’s Home Minister Amit Shah’s son Jay Shah granted extraordinary privileges in abuse of easy money via capital funding using Indian taxpayers dough is a bare fact,

Yet another key cabinet member in BJP government – the defense minister Rajnath Singh’s heir Pankaj Singh is the MLA of Noida in Uttar Pradesh and holds position as BJP’s Vice President in Uttar Pradesh. The cabinet minister’s younger son Neeraj Singh is also an active member of BJP.

Despite BJP members and VVIP”s dynasty background, the PM pot shots on campaign rallies against Congress and DMK on dynasty heritage is democracy long transitioned to hypocrisy with BJP’s head leading the tradition.

BJP in New Delhi devious game plan for Tamil Nadu is enslaving current state opposition political party ADMK using the factions’ key figures OPS – known for subservience and cronyism to BJP serving as BJP political pawn in the phony show and tell theatrics from BJP in New Delhi.

On the other hand, the other political member in ADMK, Tamil Nadu’s former chief minister EPS whom BJP New Delhi humiliated during his visit to the capital recently without taking into account ADMK alliance with BJP that enabled BJP to open account in Tamil Nadu is now considered other viable pawn for BJP’s manipulative politics in Tamil Nadu.

Meanwhile, BJP New Delhi’s blind eye to ruling DMK excess money distribution in vote buying in Erode East state assembly by-polls exceeding local opposition ADMK, supposedly BJP’s strong political ally in Tamil Nadu is duality politics. The BJP New Delhi opted to remain oblivious letting DMK run a muck in this election.

DMK with sliding voter confidence and dissatisfaction in Tamil Nadu seek favorable nod from BJP New Delhi. The two have been coalition partners earlier in national representation when BJP failed to emerge majority government barring assorted alliance to form government at the center or the state.

Amidst political misuse and abuse of power with election rules flouted as the standard among national political parties and state competitors, the real victims as usual are the electorate serving as the dice rolled in the election game.

Realistically, politics’ overt agenda is denying fair economic empowerment through stable reliable economic growth and development to middle class, lower middle class, the poor and marginalized in society.

The economic progress for the most needed in the economy is unequivocally a tall order for politics especially the incumbent dedicated in self and oligarchy enrichment at the vast majority expense.

When politics real aim is eternal power lasting over decades slighting constitution, subverting democratic system and rejecting election laws, the status quo is anti-republic which means anti-citizenry transformed into authoritarian rule.

The writing is on the wall with government conviction on the transition from secular India to Hindu Rashtra in semblance with neighboring Afghanistan’s Taliban rule as the Islamic Republic.

The similarity is reflected in zero tolerance to any genuine concerns expressed in constructive criticism. The freedom of expression in government’s view are persona non grata i.e. unwelcome.

Accordingly, those daring to present alternative thoughts are pursued and branded anti-state and anti-national.

In Indian pseudo democracy, the critics of government policy are declared terrorists allegedly endangering the head of the nation’s position and even life. 

The voters’ transgression – The people accepting bribes in hard cash during election from all political parties must realize they are trading their liberty and economic opportunity with corrupt political campaigners running for public office primarily to line their own pockets than deliver any lofty promises they make on campaign trail.

The bribed voters are also required to pay attention to consequences of bribes yielding dismal performance from the so-called elected officials holding public office.

The voters having accepted illegal money from candidates are in no position to question those abusing public funds and so-called political capital upon being so-called elected to public office.

Then economic problems such as skyrocketing inflation, unemployment, poverty…doom and gloom climate persisting throughout political term would be shared responsibility of bribed electorate. 

Politics preference to leave significant population economically weak and dire contributes to people dependency on the state creating non-conducive conditions for further abuse of power at the helm.

In totalitarian regimes, the population at the bottom are either starved or subject to hand-to-mouth living over several generations.

The resistance from oppressed people in authoritarian system is generally not possible.

However, the carte blanche authority and draconian measures on peaceful non-violent protests were witnessed in Indian main street on many occasions more so in the past nine years by the so-called elected head of the state and politics at state and national level.

The election marred with corruption during and thereafter is merely the tip of the iceberg. The meltdown begins with the so-called elected members starting from the top i.e. the head of the nation as Prime Minister with controversial credentials and tainted credibility on many issues.

Among them, the false promise on Rs. 15 lakhs / Rs. 1.5 million in every citizen’s bank account in the course of demonetization takes the cake in misleading electorate.

The rest in Parliament and state legislative assembly on their part proudly have criminal records not excluding terrorism and bomb blasts violence.

These members are apparently dignified elected people representatives unlike selected according to state media propagates ignoring the political market place facilitating trading of members bought and sold with a negotiable price tag.

Again, these are the so-called elected members touted by Indian politics owned and controlled harem media including in Tamil Nadu bragging about the validity of the so-called elected members cesspool.

The regime in New Delhi political maneuver inherited from colonial era is challenged to prove anti-colonial mindset with measures mentioned below.

1. Scrap governorship – the governors appointed predominantly for PM’s use as pawns in nuanced attacks against political targets and critics. The hired sycophant media at politics’ disposal spin narratives to ramp up propaganda in the so-called democracy.

The governors in Indian political structure – the post created in British Raj continued contemporarily is cosmetic. As such the state governments are no longer autonomous and reduced to appease the regime head in the executive branch.

New Delhi toppling the so-called elected state governments is the regime’s signature paradigm. Though majority of the state governments in India are premised in dynasty rule, the central authority regular intervention in upsetting the apple cart has little to do with dynasty and more to do with central authority flexing muscle as the Supreme power.

In the overall national scene, the political opposition in quid pro quo with the ruling regime share common goals to maintain status quo.

They have each other’s back in strong opposition to any voice against corruption, criminality and shoddy politics.

The regime’s chief only political means to remain in power is bribe and harassment. The latter is executed misusing public funded income tax department, the enforcement directorate (ED), intelligence agency viz. CBI and law enforcement such as police force and judiciary.

The bribery in cash and kind as incentives vary from plum government posts in domestic and foreign destinations as ambassadors and diplomats etc., to upper house (Rajya Sabha) member position.

The cash transactions using public funds and black money are expended on MPs, MLAs, Supreme Court justices, election commission, foreign nations with unaffordable economic deals and,

Ultimately not even sparing Hindu Gods with temples and lavish shrines in the hope of absolving from plethora of crimes and sins to the hilt prompting desperate move and erratic decisions.

2. New Delhi regime’s contrived fatigue on colonial mindset referred to recently could be demonstrated in abolishing the British era Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in suppression of natives’ human rights continued by Indian governments in succession.

AFSPA identified as the root cause of unrest and incessant violence in Kashmir and North East regions remain the tool for Indian central authority, incumbent and predecessor alike to exert extra judicial execution of power against people in Kashmir valley and North Eastern states.

3. The law enforcement unlawful engagement against politically charged individuals and those apprehended on state and central government instigated accusations are victims of police brutality. The reform in this regard is long overdue. 

Then there are other minor offenders unable to afford bribes demanded by corrupt orderlies and police department hierarchy. In these situations, the extreme use of brute force sometimes leading to deaths in police custody are covered up and buried with victims. The practice prolonged since colonial times is antithetical to civilized society. 

4. The regime in New Delhi posing as larger than life getting rid off anti-democratic electoral bonds introduced and enacted by incumbent would make the electoral process transparent in the least if not entirely credible. 

5. The authority in New Delhi disavowing polarization and communal divide in society would delineate government pledge in respecting civil rights and harmony. 

In a nutshell, the disinheritance of colonial traits and enacting all of the above mentioned critical amendments would shed light on the political establishment will and commitment towards revival of democracy. 

Failure to do so any or all of the aforesaid requirements would verify undeclared emergency and undemocratic rule prevalence. 

India today is under despotic regime heavily invested in false-image event management and self-adulation. The regime acquiescence to specific oligarchs’s monopoly on economy is troublesome for nation’s economic future.

Above all national sovereignty security and territorial integrity compromised in foreign incursion and occupation extended from Himalayan range to North Eastern region by neighboring China.

The embarrassing political debacle in protecting national territory is attributed to the regime and oligarchs’ protracted financial dealings with Beijing. 

Relevantly Beijing controlled companies financing regime’s political campaigns is direct infiltration of foreign power. 

The blatant abuse of power and violations of public trust is the culture ceremoniously and authoritatively established by the regime silencing 1.5 billion population with indoctrination using religion and fantasy projecting stagnant economy to meteoric $5 trillion i.e. $5,000,000,000,000 landmark.  

The red herring is prominent with the regime in power preoccupied in censorship curtailing free flow of factual information reaching en masse on all matter of national interests.

The regime recruits media in the indefensible self-defense for constant dissemination and insinuations against political critic viewed arch nemesis corroborating anti-democratic environment.

Democracy – To Be Or Not To Be

February 22, 2023

Democracy – To Be

Or

Not To Be?

Padmini Arhant

Any government and political leadership at the helm in particular responding to foreign comment on the undemocratic status of the head of the state in the so-called democratic system would not allow and legislate the following undemocratic process.

The electoral bonds flooding the political campaigns with incumbent at the national level benefitting the most from known and unknown as well as anonymous sources from within the country and offshore including the nation’s adversary like China financing the candidacy while occupying national territory in Northeast and Himalayan range deploy the nation and citizens at foreign aggressor’s mercy.

Notwithstanding treason transpiring in such transactions.

The horse trading applicable to open bidding with cash and kind incentives buying out elected members – the MLA’s and MP’s in state and national level dismiss election purpose. The democratic system is subverted to benefit major political party in the nation.

The trend though previously existent under earlier administrations and national political party i.e. Congress and state political groups in swaying votes on key legislations is further established in political party representation shifting minority to majority and vice versa in contemporary governance at the center.

The political maneuvering albeit with unaccounted black money in plain corruption deals other than controversial electoral bonds facilitate toppling majority governments and political parties in states and union territories nationwide.

Importantly, the present Central government chronic political strategy targeting political factions at the state and national domain debilitate democracy and void electoral outcome regardless.

On national security, the external affairs ministry attributing sole credit to head of the executive branch on deployment of national defense force along the Himalayan range and LAC with China stationed since March 2020 until now fails to acknowledge the unresolved crisis with China costing Indian economy enormous resources and expenditure to sustain troop deployment in the extraordinary Himalayan terrain.

All the more reason for the head of the executive branch in national public administration to meet the nation’s press barring selective admission of government choice questions and address all matter related to national interests.

The protocol followed in most parts of the world as vital democratic duty from the head of the state clearing doubts and alleviating citizens’ concerns is somehow not respected and never adhered to by current Indian leadership since assuming office in 2014 and till date. 

The RSS trajectory on treason pre-independence and post-independence is irrefutable.

The RSS prominent member Vinayak Damodar Savarkar’s plea bargain with colonial ruler – then British Raj for personal release in exchange for RSS trained armed contingency aiding India’s foreign colonial ruler against Indian population en masse exacerbated freedom struggle.

Thereafter post-independence RSS member Nathuram Godse assassinated Mahatma Gandhi. The assassin Godse is hailed a hero by sitting BJP Parliament member and government in New Delhi.

Fast forward to recent events. The executive branch in New Delhi misusing armed forces for political and personal gains is evidenced in Pulwama attack in Kashmir i.e. Jammu-Srinagar national highway on February 14, 2019 with national election scheduled in May 2019.

A convoy of vehicles carrying Indian security personnel on the Jammu–Srinagar National Highway was targeted resulting in 40 Central Reserve Police Force personnel deaths leaving their young dependents and survivors bereft of parent and earning member.

The Pulwama attack was a colossal failure from central government to avert the incident. The inaction from government with intelligence information available beforehand confirm the lack of initiative and interest to protect armed forces lives prioritizing election prospects over defense force by central government.

Subsequently the incumbent Prime Minister candidate in 2019 abusing Pulwama attack in election rally with campaign speech delivered in the backdrop of bill boards featuring armed forces – the politics using national defense force prohibited by election commission for all political parties across the board was slighted and violated by BJP and incumbent PM candidate in 2019.

The series of violations from the head of the nation in 2019 election and political career misusing religion, defense force, communal divide…among myriad anti-democratic display is a severe setback for democracy.

Above all, the chief of executive branch in New Delhi direct engagement in systemic destruction of institutional autonomy and independent status to function with respect to judiciary, monetary authority such as the Reserve Bank of India, the election commission and not even sparing the Indian national defense force is the last straw. 

The national defense force with creation of chief of staff for the combined army, naval and air force command directly reporting to Prime Minister sidelining the traditional constitutional Presidential obligations to preside over the defense force as the commander-in-chief has more to it than meets the eye in terms of job description.

The newly set up joint chief of defense staff post under Prime Minister would be responsible for defense procurement and stockpiles for all three forces which is a phenomenal cash cow for corporate run politics with selective oligarchy such as Adani, Ambani groups enjoying unlimited unfettered access to economic windfall across economic sector. The defense contracts and projects are icing on the cake exclusively benefitting specific oligarchs and their representative as the head of the executive branch.

In successive blow to Indian national defense force organizational structure and sanctity known for the once admired institutional discipline in keeping communal sentiments and corruption at bay,

The incumbent BJP government introduction of the contentious Agnipath defense recruitment policy last year in 2022 transforming conventional long term defense recruitment to four-year-limit contractual hiring to serve government favored corporate agenda revealed true colors of the present leadership, the political party and government.

The revelations on government decisions related to defense force and objectionable abuse of executive power across the spectrum speak volume on the state of affairs.

The head of the government modus operandi exemplified in disrespect for uniformed forces, not preventing their murder in Pulwama attack along with abandoning their survivors were not all.

The government and leadership default in this incident alluded to State sponsored terrorism against defense personnel. The presumption aroused queries regarding Pulwama attack that were evaded and substituted with government’s unsubstantiated narrative.

The prejudice against potential defense force volunteers lately demonstrated in much protested Agnipath defense policy reducing defense force to mere contractual outsource recruitment.

The agonizing trail from the chief executive in New Delhi represent egregious and irreconcilable deeds committed against the nation, the defense force and citizens at large.

To sum it up the latest stunt not surprisingly from the head of the nation is involving retired servicemen in government propaganda on regional politics to settle political scores with people in southern state of Tamil Nadu. 

In a real functioning democracy, the state would not control and operate press and diverse media in overt and covert means by proxy.

There would be no duplicity in criticism of government policies, plans and performance.

Unlike the political leadership monetized criticism to showcase fake democracy, the genuine constructive criticism of government and political actions are struck down in social media like youtube and other format.

Furthermore, extreme measures such as authorizing the murder of female writer, journalist in cold blood in daylight at her residence in Bengaluru and the head of the nation cheering that heinous crime on twitter by swearing the deceased in public pale a defiant authoritarian regime in comparison to pseudo democracy.

The actions against critics such as authors, former members in the national or state government cadre as IPS officer viz. Sanjiv Bhatt for daring to speak the truth on Gujarat pogrom in 2002, human rights activists like Mrs. Sudha Bharadwaj pledging life in representing indigenous tribes Adivasis and farmers land rights against feudal corporate oppression, Mrs. Teesta Setalvad for providing social and humanitarian service to Gujarat Godhra victims of violence and environmentalists for saving scarce territories and habitats from oligarchy proprietorship…all and many of these activities involve imprisonment without due process on false charges.

Though the latter two female members Mrs. Sudha Bharadwaj and Mrs. Teesta Setalvad are released on bail after long hard legal battle, the former IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt is sentenced for life on political vendetta by government shaming democracy and judiciary ethics in non-compliance of national constitutional law granting equal rights to the accused barring government intervention and influence that is rampant and norm in the present time more than ever.

In other undemocratic unruly interference by incumbent national government –  unlawfully eliminating former defense force personnel Tej Bahadur Yadav from campaign trail for gaining popularity over incumbent Prime Minister candidate in Varanasi in 2019 general election are not merely few and far between governmental intrusions exceeding predecessors in silencing democracy through undeclared emergency. 

The head of the state open instigation in public speech during political rallies to target nation’s minority citizens i.e. muslims based on their clothes and outfits leading to violence in university campus and main street exploiting religion both Sanatan Dharm, Islam, Christianity…are common political practice again superseding former governments and political factions in power.

Against Hindus, the politics maintaining the abhorrent caste system entirely for vote banks besides marginalization and polarization of society is lauded by state media as the real power and model democracy.

Last but not the least, the system touted as world’s largest democracy parading the head of the national administration constitutionally confined to five-year-term limit position as the symbol and icon is contradictory to democracy and idea of republic presiding over sovereignty and constitution via electoral ballots.

The excessive self-adulation and flamboyance being the signature traits of the head of the public national administration buttressed with cronyism ad nauseam from key cabinet members, groveling media as state propagandists…leave candid totalitarian regimes far behind in amassment of power, glory and carte blanche authority.

There is a thin line between democracy deformed into hypocrisy and despotism aided by plutocracy declared paradigm of democracy.

The status quo defining the system and designation misconstrued to suit personal and political dogma incontrovertibly is anything but democratic.

Fake Democracy

Padmini Arhant

पते की बात

चोरी और ऊपर से सीना ज़ोरि बुरा है तो उससे बड़ी अपराध उस चोरी को उचित प्रचार करना अघोर बेईमानी है। ऐसा पाप जन्मों का भोज बने आत्मा पर दण्ड बनता है।उस देश और देश वासियों के लिए गंभीर पीड़ा और कलंक बने युगों तक पाप में लिप्त होता है।

इसमें गर्व की कोई बात नहीं हालांकि व्यक्तिगत और कुल व्यवहार के तौर पर इस प्रकार की हरकतें शर्मिन्दिगी और अपमानित जनक है।

आख़िर में,

बुरी नज़र वालों और कुकर्म दोषियों तुम सब के मुंह काला।

बुरी नज़र वाले तेरा मुंह काला | 

पद्मिनी अरहंत

Politics is usually known for monetized compliments in obsequious culture involving quid pro quo. 

However, the politics that monetize self-organized scripted criticism through hired performers viz. comedians, short skits, satire and the supposedly independent journalism..,on social media such as you tube, the combined theatrics serve as weapons of mass deception (WMD) to discredit constructive relevant non-incentivized criticism for double jeopardy.

Such con job is possible only in fake democracy.

The pseudo criticism which is typically make-believe and paid for is dark clouds masquerading the clear sky i.e. the real critic. Nonetheless, the persistent efforts to mislead is enacted as live democracy.

The other contradictions are – while politics recruited so-called critics are monetarily rewarded, the actual critics challenging status quo on many public issues are murdered in cold blood followed by twitter comment from the head of the state (criminality) – the b**ch deserved to die.

Similarly, the intellect based criticism are punished and sentenced to life imprisonment without bail or shunned to anonymity with fabricated accusations.

Juxtaposed imitation criticism is a sideshow and publicity campaign to counteract reality on little or no tolerance to dissent and disagreement on general and specific state of affairs.

The bi-polar political indulgence is to maintain deceit, disinformation and disingenuous criticism to neutralize the opposite although in vain.

Amidst political struggle to suppress facts with fiction and fraudulence, the fake democracy is exposed reflecting the emperor without clothes in public domain.

India – Who is the real enemy?

India – Who is the real enemy?

Padmini Arhant

Who is the real enemy of India?

None other than the ones defending status quo and the leadership Narendra Modi presiding epidemic corruption, black money and historic polarization especially having usurped to power on defeating corruption in 2014.

The leadership responsible for India losing territories to hegemonic China and surrendered economy to domestic oligarchs. The oligarchs, corrupt political establishment and bourgeois in society in return depleting Indian economy and stashing illicit wealth overseas empowering foreign economy.

Indian human capital and natural resources are on sale in perpetuity for individual and vested enrichment in continuation of legacy unique to India in transmigration of Indian population for labor  worldwide and colonization of India by foreign power with no end in sight. 

Yet the question is raised if not Narendra Modi then who?

Could anyone be worse than the present leadership in dual simultaneous demolition of India’s territorial integrity handed over to hegemony next door and economic viability under domestic oligarchy monopoly and control?

Indian territories slowly and stealthily seized by neighbor and India’s key economic partner China transformed into trillion $ economy with India typically feeding the ravenous appetite of China.

As for PM Narendra Modi’s leadership attributes regarded amongst specific crony circle as irreplaceable (?) in itself present India in the most awkward and vulnerable situation.

First and foremost, none are indispensable ever since world creation and moving forward well beyond into the future.

Second, any leadership ducking press meet not having held an impromptu or for that matter the routine tele-prompter assisted single press-conference since election to public office in 2014 until today exemplify lack of knowledge and confidence to address public concerns and grievance barring prior arrangement and defensive mechanism from media and various protective contingency.

Importantly, the leadership relentlessly committed in cancel culture with gag order, silencing and censorship of real independent investigative questions daring authorities and power on series of violations, betrayal and treason at best demonstrate liability and at worst culpability.  

Third and last,

The wolf hiding in sheep clothing retain original identity and not the one in disguise.

पते की बात

चोरी और ऊपर से सीना ज़ोरि बुरा है तो उससे बड़ी अपराध उस चोरी को उचित प्रचार करना अघोर बेईमानी है। ऐसा पाप जन्मों का भोज बने आत्मा पर दण्ड बनता है।उस देश और देश वासियों के लिए गंभीर पीड़ा और कलंक बने युगों तक पाप में लिप्त होता है।

इसमें गर्व की कोई बात नहीं हालांकि व्यक्तिगत और कुल व्यवहार के तौर पर इस प्रकार की हरकतें शर्मिन्दिगी और अपमानित जनक है।

आख़िर में,

बुरी नज़र वालों और कुकर्म दोषियों तुम सब के मुंह काला।

बुरी नज़र वाले तेरा मुंह काला | 

पद्मिनी अरहंत

The leadership branded and promoted as the popular one would not fear challenge from general population whether the contestant is ex-serviceman like the former national border security force personnel Tej Bahadur Yadav who by the way held numerous open press meets unlike the incumbent contender Narendra Modi in 2019 or ever.

The real soldier Tej Bahadur Yadav was fraudulently disqualified from electoral process from Varanasi against Narendra Modi in 2019 by Modi and Shah. 

Or,

Anyone among 1.4 billion population who apparently have potential to lead multinational companies as CEO’s but not eligible to run government in India?

Go figure!

India – Foreign Trade and Remittance

December 3, 2022

India – Foreign Trade and Remittance

Padmini Arhant

The incumbent administration in New Delhi at the center deploying the civil service cadre might produce statistics to counteract ground reality related to economic situation reflected in India’s global hunger index ranked at 107 among 121 nations besides other crucial economic activities largely placing India as not the beneficiary in contrast to government propaganda.

Factual vs. Fictitious Data

For example :

According to Indian Government instructed Indian civil service data on foreign remittance is as follows.

Juxtaposed to Indian data, the economy of Singapore features GDP and foreign reserves details.

Economy of Singapore – the South East Asia neighbor to South Asia India. 

Economy of Singapore

Singapore Official Foreign Currency Assets per Monetary Authority of Singapore  – mas.gov.sg

As of October 2022 – $399.4 billion 

 

Statistics
Population 5,770,040 (2020) – 5.7 million 
GDP $379.071 billion (nominal, 2022 est.)$617.987 billion (PPP, 2022 est.)
GDP growth 3.4% (2018) 0.7% (2019) −3.5% (2020e) 5.5% (2021e)

Regarding Indian Data – Assuming the above data are current and legitimate considering revelations on incumbent Indian government published figures on foreign reserves, unemployment, GDP, inflation and other key economic activities…that are routinely challenged within by government appointed heads of institutions ranging from former RBI governor viz. ex-RBI governor Raghuram Rajan on demonetization debacle to labor department and national statistical commission experts resignation on government demand to collude in reporting fictitious data on unemployment status and the list is fairly extensive raising credibility issue on government’s  economic report with no external independent oversight.

Indian news media reports on unemployment figures controversy.

“Resignation of NSC members exposes government’s unwillingness to tackle unemployment.

Statistical Commission Experts Resign in Protest Over Jobs Data and Govt Attitude.

P.C. Mohanan and J.V. Meenakshi – the only two non-government members of the commission – tendered their resignations because of the body’s ineffectiveness.

New Delhi: The only two non-government members of India’s National Statistical Commission have resigned, leaving just chief statistician Pravin Srivastava and NITI Aayog’s Amitabh Kant at the head of a body that is the apex advisory organisation for all of the country’s core statistical activities.”

———————————————————————————-

Nonetheless, the important factor in India’s foreign remittance $100 billion asserted by Indian government is predominantly if not exclusively from Indian labor in foreign nations sending money back home to families and dependents in foreign currency.

Among the Indian labor force exported overseas, the significant Indian manual / physical labor is concentrated in the Middle East, Africa and South East Asia. The other skilled Indian labor from tech industry is largely employed in western shores such as the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and western europe.

Again the remittances received from the high tech high paying jobs are the second category in Indian labor monetary transactions credited in foreign currency to India’s ex-Chequers foreign reserves account.

This aspect of foreign remittance is showcased by Indian government as unprecedented in Indian economic trend.

Not to mention the Indian labor force working overseas are entirely due to individual and non-governmental efforts and diligence with little or no major government involvement in seeking employment and travel to foreign countries in search of employment and business opportunity.

In other words, not much help or assistance provided by Indian government in terms of foreign currency withdrawal and other relevant resources during travel i.e. export of skilled labor offshore.

The drastic impact of skilled labor exodus from India at highly technical and professional expertise is the well known brain drain from India and the other adverse effect in the domestic front is described in the words of India’s one of prominent long time consumer goods manufacturer Godrej as below.

————————————————————————————

Help wanted – India’s ‘Make in India’ drive lacks skilled labour

“I always say that there is no unemployment in India. It’s only unemployability,” said Adi Godrej, whose businesses range from consumer goods to …

India has too few skilled labourers thanks to decades of neglect in training and it desperately needs electricians, bricklayers and plumbers.”
———————————————————————————

It is noteworthy that Indian workers’ foreign remittance from abroad $100 billion is directly absorbed by China in trade surplus with India.

As per the reports on India trade imbalance with China;

The trade gap has particularly widened in the past decade. In 2021, annual two-way trade crossed $100 billion for the first time, reaching $125.6 billion, with India’s imports accounting for $97.5 billion, pegging the imbalance at close to $70 billion.

“China’s trade with India is lopsided and in this period China had a favorable balance of trade that has crossed $1.2 trillion,” said Srikanth Kondapalli,who is Professor in Chinese Studies and Dean of the School of International Studies at Jawarharlal Nehru University. “That is, in pure statistics, Chinese businesses earned that much money [from India].” 

Moreover, Chinese commitments to India to import substantially more Indian goods, particularly pharmaceuticals, have not materialised,

These surpluses are consistent, and not addressed over a period of time this leads to the problem of a current account deficit for India,” he said.”

——————————————————————————-

What this means for common man and woman i.e. the ordinary average citizens in India is the brain drain via professionals and highly skilled immigration from India to overseas.

Notwithstanding this is a major disadvantage for India. The skilled workforce on the other hand as blue collar workers migration to the Middle East and other parts of the world essentially depriving Indian economy the skills and innovation with the current Indian government favoring and urging western nations to expedite visa processing primarily for earnings from Indian workers‘ foreign remittance.

India is bereaved of manufacturing, innovative and skilled economy to China enjoying trade surplus with India.

Meanwhile the expatriation of skilled and professional members to western nations and destinations in the hope of foreign remittance for government which in return is paid to China via massive economic imports into India.

The BJP government at the center in New Delhi headed by current Prime Minister is depleting Indian economy of foreign reserves and foreign remittance in trade deficit and trade imbalance with China, Russia and more.

In conclusion, the Indian prime minister’s Make in India and $5 Trillion Indian economy… as the New Delhi central government’s home minister Amit Shah coined it – are nothing more than Jhumla – political shenanigans.  They otherwise serve well on the campaign trail to lure gullible voters willing to be deceived many times over by such politics.

The other beneficiary is China achieving multi-trillion dollar economy status with India as the leading importer at Indian economy and educated skilled unemployed youth expense.

The end-result China’s middle class exponentially rise in contradiction to India’s overwhelming majority sliding downward to mere bottom in the global hunger index and other international economic census.

Politically, the RSS run BJP government and Modi-Shah’s campaign on Hindu Rashtra and Hindutva agenda would dissolve with Hindus leaving India for better economic prospects.

The status quo would by default return India to secular statehood in accordance with Indian constitution.

India – Global Hunger Index

India – Global Hunger Index

Padmini Arhant

Amid Vikas (progress and development) touted as the incumbent administration i.e. the Central Government in New Delhi’s campaign slogan, it is important to notice the real indicator of economic progress or the lack thereof critically reflecting  hunger and poverty among overwhelming population in India at the lowest economic strata. 

Not to mention New Delhi Central government monetized political campaign through foreign hired presenter embellish India’s GDP at the alleged 13.5% in contrast to ground reality with dire hunger and poverty situation. 

India – Global Hunger Index

In the 2022 Global Hunger Index, India ranks 107th out of the 121 countries with sufficient data to calculate 2022 GHI scores. With a score of 29.1, India has a level of hunger that is serious.

In comparison, India’s neighbors in the Indian sub-continent surpassed India with considerable lead in this context. 

Nepal ranks 81st out of the 121 countries with sufficient data to calculate 2022 GHI scores. With a score of 19.1, Nepal has a level of hunger that is moderate.

Bangladesh has moved eight notches down to rank 84th among 121 countries in the Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2022, still surpassing neighbouring India (107th), Pakistan (99th) and Afghanistan (109th).

Pakistan – In the 2022 Global Hunger Index, Pakistan ranks 99th out of the 121 countries with sufficient data to calculate 2022 GHI scores.

No matter what paid propaganda persists during elections, the actual economic conditions such as hunger, poverty and survival amongst the vast majority of population speak for national economic circumstances confirming the government failure to address the most pertinent issue. 

In the rank out of 121 countries;

Nepal – 81st

Bangladesh – 84th

Pakistan – 99th 

India – 107th
