The whole world was confused, surprised
awestruck or even panicked on hearing U.S. election results. All statistical
pundits were busy redrawing their graphs and correcting their data. Amidst this
chaos, in other part of the world
another sensation was in making .Indian Prime minister announced demonetization
of high denomination currencies in one among the world’s big economies.
The well kept secret let out at pre-empt
timing
made vitals of many to take a nose dive. The following days saw mad rush to the
banks to exchange and deposit old currencies. Those who had never been to a
bank even tried their luck at the winding queues.
Now
after 50 days of turmoil will our Jacob lead us to the promised land. The
intentions maybe irrefutable but is the path that easy? Its an open answer and that’s a big NO
I’m a
common citizen , even I can make a wild guess without any statistics that 1/4th
of the expected 14 lakh crores will not make its way back to govt. In that unfound
treasure half will be destroyed and half will be exchanged and restocked in
black. Even with that regained wealth our nation will be super rich with no deficit
budget. Now it’s time for thought the other way.
What all can be done to strengthen the nation.
To start with let the finance ministry setup expert committees of all retired
babus to advise how to spend the new got wealth, we need a minimum of 20 such
committees after all we got huge folks
of retired bureaucrats to be amused. As our politicians will be the most
affected community let’s give a 100% hike to our legislators and
parliamentarians salaries. All bad loans to be waived let it be 10% of
agriculture loans and all corporate loans as we need them most
to pump up our economy( here pumping in the right sense). The judiciary,
we will recommend big hikes to their count too, but won’t increase their
numbers as more work and less strength will always keep that jack a dull boy.
Are these the only goodies that we can do with the fortune gained. There are a
few more silly things.
We
shall re vamp our rail infra so that a migrant laborer from Assam can reach his
home safely on time for Bihu from Thiruvananthapuram. The state may fund
medical universities. Medical education can be a state sponsored one and money
making sharks should be shunted out of the field as more costly the medical
education more costly goes the health care. How can we expect service from a
doctor who spends lakhs to get his degree. There are so many such silly things
which may be carried out with the exhumed wealth, there are many brilliant foresighted
minds who can plan for collective development
of the nation. Let them all have their say and make my land soar over
the dragon and others
Hey got
another queek are there any plans for a Mohamed of Ghazni era Somnath temple
like one at our heart land.
