Simplest way to make India developed and free from all evils..

Vision India 2020: Everybody wants to see India, our motherland developed and free from all evils.

Easy way to get rid of 'proverty', 'terrorism', 'illiteracy', 'corruption' etc from the country is by passing an Act in the Parliament/ state Legislature by deleting the words 'proverty', 'terrorism', 'illiteracy', 'corruption' etc from all laws of the country.  Maharastra govt. removed 'famine' from the state early in the year 1963 then also thousands of farmers committing suicide every year (official count 45000 deaths since 1995). In 1963, the government of Maharashtra without adding a morsel to anyone's diet. It did so simply by passing an Act in the Legislature that deleted the word ‘famine' from all laws of the State. This was called ‘The Maharashtra Deletion Of The Term “Famine” Act, 1963”.

Happy Independence Day 2010




15th August 2010, Sunday.
Vande Mataram!!!!!!!

Wish all of you a very very happy Independence day.
Like any other day, today also I dream to see united India free from all evils, freedom from corruption, freedom from all divisions, freedom from proverty, freedom from hunger, freedom from illetaracy. Like everyday today I remembering most the following lines of Tagore,

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake


We everybody proudly talk of united India with diverse culture, but there is a fear in some corner of my heart, day by day the fear is increasing, a fear of disintegrated India.

Jai Hind!!!
