Be happy, cheer and SING THE SONG OF our great ancient civilization.
Democratic Indian (n/a) 11 October 2010
"Be happy, cheer and SING THE SONG OF our great ancient civilization."
Gods & Goddesses of our great ancient civilization had the latest arms in their hands to constantly fight evil from having upper hand. Their governments did not impose Arms Act 1959 on them. Arms Act 1978 is nothing but a repainted version of Arms Act 1878 that was passed by British to prevent another 1857 like revolt. But why does "government of the people, for the people, by the people" fear a revolt from the people and pass Arms Act 1959? A government that does not trust its honest, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens with the means of self-defense is not itself worthy of trust. Laws disarming honest citizens proclaim that the government is the master, not the servant, of the people. Do we need to know anything more?
Throughout the freedom struggle our leaders protested against the Arms Act of 1878, demanding for every Indian citizen the right to keep and bear arms. For example in Nagpur around 1923 or 1924 there was a Satyagraha movement against the prevailing Arms Act. This movement attracted Satyagrahis from all over India, it went on for six months and the Indian National Congress put its seal of approval on this Satyagraha movement against the Arms Act. In fact even the Father of Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, protested for the right of every Indian citizen to keep and bear arms, going so far as to state that, “Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest”.
The very first draft bill of rights for all Indians was a part of the Nehru Report of 1928, it was prepared by a committee of the All Parties Conference chaired by Motilal Nehru with Jawaharlal Nehru acting as secretary. Along with other basic rights to be enjoyed by every Indian citizen, was also the right to keep and bear arms.
The Indian National Congress in it's historic 1931 Resolution on Fundamental Rights passed at Karachi stated “This Congress is of opinion that to enable the masses to appreciate what Swaraj as conceived by the Congress will mean to them, it is desirable to state the position of the Congress in a manner easily understood by them...” “...The Congress, therefore, declares that any constitution...” please note these words - any constitution, “...which may be agreed to on its behalf, should provide or enable the Swaraj Government to provide for the following...” and various fundamental rights are enumerated, among which was also this one-- “Every citizen has the right to keep and bear arms in accordance with regulations and reservations made in that behalf.”
"Both the oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of arms." - Aristotle
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." - Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
What is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials. ‘To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.
Bhartiya No. 1 (Nationalist) 11 October 2010
NEW DELHI (TrustLaw)- Transparency International India's Executive Director, Anupama Jha, speaks to Nita Bhalla, AlertNet's South Asia correspondent about corruption in India.
Q: How would you describe the level of corruption in India?
A: Corruption is endemic in India and is present in every sector of society. There is corruption within government, the private sector, as well as the police and the judiciary.
In 2009, India was ranked 84 out 180 countries in the Corruption Perceptions Index with an integrity rating of 3.2-3.6 (O being the most corrupt and 10 being the least), indicating that the country is perceived to be highly corrupt by experts. In the last five years, India's CPI ranking has been pretty much the same - going up or down a rank or two - which indicates that not enough is being done towards tackling graft.
The Global Corruption Barometer (GCB), a survey aimed at gauging the views of the general public, says people have no faith in politicians. They say politicians are the most corrupt in India, followed by officials involved in law-making. There is no real indication of how much money we are losing through graft. Poor people pay money to get basic services which should be free, rich corporates pay money in procurement and tendering. Then you have corruption in construction with roads, dams falling apart and bridges collapsing as the allotted funds have been misused.
Q: What types of corruption are common in India?
A There are all kinds of corruption present in the country. There is corruption in the water and power sectors, where the public have reportedly had to pay for the restoration of services which they are entitled to. Also, with the police who are willing to take bribes for not booking speeding or parking offences or who demand money for filing complaints.
There is also corruption at much higher levels such as with the corporate and public companies in tendering and procurement, in the defense sector, in land registration issues ... the list is endless. There is even corruption in judiciary where senior judges have in the past siphoned off money from the treasury. This is incredible as the judiciary is the last body in the world where you can go to redress grievances, but even if they are corrupt, where does that leave the public?
Q: Who is most impacted by such levels of corruption?
A: It is without a doubt those who live below the poverty line, according to the India Corruption Study 2008, where we looked at below poverty line households. We researched eleven government services including the police, government social service systems like subsidised food schemes and employment opportunities as well as water, health, electricity, housing and forestry.
We found that people living below the poverty line have to pay over 9 billion rupees ($195 million) annually as bribes in order to avail these basic and needs-based services. This means those services which they were supposed to get for free; they have to bribe in order to get them. We have heard that poor people have had to bribe hospital staff in places for blood for their sick relatives sometimes.
We also found that the police were thought to be the most corrupt department throughout the country and the least corrupt was primary school education. Land records and registration was another major area of corruption and so was housing.
Q: What progress has been made or initiatives taken to tackle graft?
Definitely progress has been made in checking corruption, but what is more evident is that the people indulging in corrupt practices are working overtime. So for every positive measure to tackle corruption, those corrupt people are working twice as hard to continue.
There have been many initiatives and tools to check corruption and as a result, there has been some success.
(a) The Right to Information act (RTI) has been a relatively effective tool in tackling graft. This gives any citizen of India the right to information about the government and what it is doing with taxpayers' money.
(b) Social Audit is a tool. Government departments, implementing agencies, civil society organizations can use it monitor, plan, manage and measure the non-financial activities and organization’s social and commercial operations. This is basically a scrutiny of the public utility against its social relevance.
(c) E-governance is also gaining momentum. Amongst the many tools being developed to fight corruption, there is increasing focus on e-government - using Information and Communication Technology such as the internet - to enable greater public access to information on government processes.
(d) Citizens' charters are also now being adopted by more public sector organizations. This is the commitment of the organization towards standard, quality and time frame of service delivery, grievance redressal mechanisms, transparency and accountability.
These are all great tools, but there is a general lack of awareness about these initiatives especially amongst those living below the poverty line.
Q: What governmental bodies exist to check corruption?
A: There is the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Central Information Commission (CIC) and the Controller Auditor General (CAG). These are all anti-corruption bodies but they are not exercising their authority enough.
Q: How does India compare to neighbouring countries in the region in terms of the level of graft?
A: You can't compare neighbouring countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan with India in terms of corruption. These are strife-torn countries where to a certain extent corruption is understandable. But in a democratic country like India, this is unacceptable. We are not a strife-torn nation. We have the Maoist insurgency in many parts of the country but that is because of a lack of development, which has been impeded by corruption.
Q: What more does India need to do to fight corruption?
A: India is a signatory but has not ratified the UNCAC - United Nations Convention Against Corruption. The government must sign this and show that is serious about tackling graft. The government bodies established to check graft should also exert their authority more and step up and do more.
There has to be a greater awareness of initiatives aimed at fighting corruption, addressing grievances and bringing about more transparency and accountability, especially amongst the poor.
According to our studies, only one percent of those living below the poverty line in the state of Bihar - one of the most underdeveloped and perceived to be one of the most corrupt - knew about the RTI (Right to Information Act).
There has to be more efforts to help people understand their rights to services so they can speak out and not be taken advantage of. Poor people are the least informed but are subjected to graft the most.

NOW PLEASE CONCLUDE YOUR SUGGESTIONS / OPINION / VOTE TO FINALISE THE PROPOSAL FOR REDRESSAL OF PUBLIC SERVICE SECTOR / BUREAUCRACY WITH ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY, AS REGARDS THE FOLLOWING POINTS:-
| Originally posted by :Ram Samudre - DRF | ||

Please go through all the postings in this thread. Now suggestions for redressal of work have to be called for. I suggest the following; "At one side of PAY TO PUBLIC SERVANT, the entire life and all the aspects of needs of a public servant and his entire family are WELL prepared & secured by huge salary & other emoluments. The second side of WORK TO DO BY PUBLIC SERVANT is only IGNORED BADLY. So now this side needs immediate redressal to stop non-productive wastage of hardly earned public money. One: All the UNIONS of public servant should be declared illegal as their activities are anti-national. The public servants are on NATIONAL DUTY. If a plumber in private work a day they are simply paid in cash and nothing more further. But if a plumber gets appointment in public sector they are paid for all the aspects of their entire life including their family. So they are hired for entire life with all the minutes. They cannot deny the work AT ANY COST IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES AND ANY CALL FOR STRIKE IS AN ANTI-NATIONAL RASHTRADROH. Two: The working hours should be 12 strictly. The public servant has to work not less than what other middle class citizens do in a day. There should be NO PAID LEAVE and if any public servant need leave for that no payment should be made. The principle is NO WORK NO PAY. If other citizens keep closed there shop / workshop none is coming to them to give money for no service. So the opportunity to earn is open for them at their wish if they want to earn all the time or they want rest from work at their choice so it is the option opened to them. Why to pay if they don’t want to come for work? Three: Every public servant's work records should be kept as to what the work is assigned to him for the day and what & how they have carried out. Four: Every month's salary will be passed on submission of the monthly report card as to what the work was assigned to him and how the work has been carried out by them and the report card will be published regularly on internet and records will be kept available for observation by the people and Five: For every mis-courage or ignorance of duties punishment & recovery will be assured and the action taken will be published regularly on internet and records will be kept available for observation by the people. Please suggest so a proposal will be worked out and we all will spread it overall in the nation and will start a signature movement from the PEOPLE OF INDIA – THE RULER OF INDIA. WHY ANY POLITICIAN OR ANY BUREAUCRAT DECIDE YOUR LIFE? DON'T ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO ENCROACH IN YOUR POWER TERRITORY. YES IT IS YOU AS A CITIZEN - THE RULER OF DEMOCRATIC INDIA. |

Now this thread is deleted by someone hopeless & mindless person in editing team of LCI.
I want to know that what wrong was posted in this thread? The reason of its removal?
OWL are on every Branch of Trees including LCI Editing Team
Great Allama Iqbaal said;
Har Shaakh pe ULLU baithe hain, Anjaam-E-Gulistan kya hoga?
(OWL are sitting there on every branch of all the trees so imagine how will be the Garden?)
Those who have no sense of democratic constitution of India nor know the Indian secular & democratic culture they are sitting in the Editing Team here in this site so called as the site for interactive Platform for Lawyers and Indian Citizen and editing like the blade in the hands of monkey and jumping here n there like a monkey in the careless Garden and which is shown in their unjustified deletion & removal of threads and postings made by the people.
Right said the Great Allama Iqbaal.. Har shaakh pe ULLU..... so these are the reasons for collapse of justice system in our India. I am ashamed for them. What they have learned? And where they have learned???
In my view it is almost impossible to replace the present parliamentary democracy. And when a parliament is to function it has to have its Steel- Frame. Now we all agree that this steel -frame has been rusted beyond repair and hence be replaced. How and by whom is the moot question.
Lets think positive and be a part of the solution. There is a need to replace the bureaucracy with a new version as we have admitted that there has to be a bureaucratic set up for the sake of good governance. I am sure the Group of 14 now becoming proactive will spell out their objectives and the outline by which the present set up in the bureaucracy is completely overhaul. There could only be 14 possibilities spelt out by the 14 eminent people in G-14. None stops us from suggesting our own.
Let me suggest one - That the discretionery power for the Ministers, MP/MLAs as well as of the IAS.COM in any capacity for any allotment/expenditure / approval be done away with forth with.
What is yours?
