LESSONS FROM CENSUS -2011

News papers of 1st April 2011 are full of the details of provisional data on the census-2011. Going by the information &details given the following three points seem to be more glaring which are discussed here after.:-
1.We are 121 crores now, indicating an abnormal increase in the human heads in our Country and that we have added almost a foreign country in one single decade. Also that now our population is what six big countries in the world combined together are not able to cross our figures. We know that in the year 1947, total population of the Country was in the neighborhood of 33 crores. Do the present figures not make the countrymen and their KARANDHARS hang their heads in shame pondering over as to how during all these years we have been sitting idle on such an important matter? Also seeing fully well how natural resources of all kinds ,specially,water,agricultural land, coal, stones and all other minerals have depleted drastically so much so that we may leave very little or even nothing for the future generations and also compel the country to spread hands with begging bowls before others so that the countrymen live any how, and are not forced to starve and live with other shortages. It is requested to all concerned citizens and our KARANDHARS to force and enforce the systems to at least fort 10 years from now to move for maximum one child norm for each couple, without any distinction of caste, sect or community. Purpose and planning must be directed towards bringing population growth to negative in maximum of five years period. After all, country is above the aspirations and beliefs of any individual or the groups. Sure as it is that every one’s interest shall be safe if country is free from all types of malice. Also ensure immediate check on the waste of all types of natural resource. Conserve water by judicious use and also by factual and honest enforcement of rainwater harvesting policy, save petrolium by proper and effective control over use and maintenances of vehicles, and proper public transports. Conserve agricultural land by non-permitting of its use for other than agricultural purposes. Supply of water, coal ,electricity, or any other items under this category free of cost and unmetered, need be totally stopped, as it develops the tendency to waste and misuse, thus putting additional pressure on natural resources. Similarly other items can be taken care of. The more serious & bigger problems too have been created by the humans entering the domain of wild life and indiscriminate felling of trees in most parts of the country to make space for humans to live and to create other infrastructures in the shape of roads, rails, bridges, factories etc .The result is that many a times wild animals have started entering the human habitats and some good number of incidents of human killings and their being harmed by the animals are being reported. Similarly many parts of our country are now facing the menace of MONKEYS who are seen openly moving in the cities and doing all types of harms to the public ,their properties, the agricultural products, when they enter the fields. Need as such is to seriously ponder over all these problems and act immediately.
Though of course since the system so for has been keeping the eyes and ears closed, a lot of harm has already been done. It is also reported that now to make more space available for human population, encroachments are being made on the sea shores, which again is sure to create more problems.
2. Sex ratio:- The decrease in percentage wise population of girls against boys has to be more realistically assessed and proper action initiated. As of now the girls are more vulnerable against crimes. At present law and order machinery does not seem to be meant for the safety and protection of the general public, rather most are deployed to take care of the political class and position holders in bureaucracy . In case the system can spare the security personals deployed with the individuals of the fore mentioned classes and category of persons, and the same are spread in the system to look to the general public, will help better the law and order position in general and females of all ages may feel and remain more safe & secure which in tern shall also lessen the burden on the guardians of the females and may not treat them as burden and thus wish to eliminate them. Then laws of the land must be made more strict and transparent, to ensure speedy punishments to wrong doers. Then if the system decides only to follow the Gandhi’s three proverbial monkeys and pledges not to see, hear or speak ,then all the best, but in case the decisions are to keep all the inward flowing faculties open then it must be clear to the system as to how much parents of the girl child have to spend on marriages and even after that in order to ensure safety and happiness of their daughters even after marriage. SOME ANTI DOWERY laws are reported in existence, but not followed at all. It should be prudent to observe how such laws are openly flouted and how huge sums of money are spent only on decoration to welcome the guests from the side of the grooms. Then leave alone the expenses on dinners and dowry, which not only still remains prevalent in the society, rather the malice is on the increase. The need is to enforce anti-dowry law honestly in letter and spirit, and also make laws that none shall be permitted to host more than 25 guests at a given time. The decorations too must be permitted to the minimum level only. Many other steps and decisions can also be taken for their real and honest implementation.
3.LITERACY LEVELS:-It is now detected that in the Country’s literacy level has increased all around . What the figures say cannot be contested, but what is seen with the naked eyes and in general is that perhaps figures have been taken on the basis of simple enrolments in the schools, without going by the position, location, atmosphere, quality of teachers in such schools. Then as of now, due to the midday meals schemes started by the Govts,(which otherwise seem more a vote catching measure)many children might be coming to the schools for the purpose of such meals only and taking no interest in studies at all. Then atmosphere including teaching in many schools do not attract them for learning and so feel better being out of such schools.
Request is that the machinery must make very serious and honest assessment of the figures, ensure periodical visits to most schools, make corrections where ever needed so that not only literacy level improves ,rather all school going and even students of higher classes are given real education as well. OTHERWIASE TOO THE SYSTEM IS REQUESTED TO CULL THE HOLY CENSUS FIGURES AND PLAN TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN.

THINKING POSITIVE

The country must be highly obliged to those who conceived the idea that proceedings in both houses of Central Parliament be telecast alive by the ELECTRONIC MEDIA so that the countrymen can directly watch as to what is happening and what their representatives are doing and how they are behaving in the temples of Democracy. So many concerned citizens in the society try to devote the time available with them to watch the proceedings in both houses of central parliament. The normal observation must be that mostly no serious issues concerning the general upliftment of the Country and the Society and as to how positive and foolproof laws are enacted are taken up. On the other hand, individual issues are put forward or lot of time in these houses is wasted by indulging in blame games, or mudslingings. Then mostly lot of disturbances are created to the extent that many a times there are complete pandemonium in these temples of DEMOCRACY. The position in the state legislatures too, we observe is not any different. Such observations are made on the basis of Media reports. The BILLS where ever are taken up are generally passed without serious discussions. Hope that most concerned citizens must be feeling that such a trend need be changed so that our systems work in more useful manners and in the best interest of the society and the country as a whole.
The writer of these lines feels that such negativeness is mostly due to the unlimited number of political parties functioning in the system, mostly with their own agendas, limited basically to attract more votes to their fold, so that they get power for their outfits or remain near to the power centers. Rather most political parties are being run as business houses concerned with gain for those who are at the helm of such outfits. Then the minimum level of literacy for eligibility has not been prescribed for the member of these AUGUST houses. The measurement of education levels remains out of question. The political parties and outfits not forming part of the ruling outfits do not generally contribute for the betterment of the systems, rather oppose the governments for all acts and at all levels, might be due to the name given to them as opposition parties . So the actions and tendencies too become as per the name (OPPOSITION) given to them.
The suggestion as such is that the MAIN POLITICAL PARTY not in government be given the name as SEHYOGI DAL instead of as VIRODHI DAL . They should also be duty bound to make their own SHADOW CABINET so that they take up the issues very seriously and positively and are able to give positive and workable suggestions feeling them as part of the Govt. The other smaller parties and outfits too can be given similar suitable and respectable names so that they too develop the feeling of their being part of the Govts. The system of addressing the parties not farming part of the ruling outfits be not addressed as OPPOSITION party.
Hope this change of nomenclature will create positive thinking and way of working of the system and the COUNTRY may become a better place to live in. The future generations too may be highly benefitted by this simple change.
