Regretting the missing courtesy links in my posts

I’ve 150+ blog posts on KrishiDesh. In which I used lots of images from the web. I added source and courtesy information to some but forgot to add to some of the images at the early times of the blog. I regret this mistake since I don’t any way to trace those images to its source and hence a problem of authorship. So if anybody finds that anything used in any of these posts belongs to you or person you may know then please bring it to my notice; I shall be more than happy and thankful to you.

Please help me make this more transparent and trustworthy. I appreciate your consistent support.

Urgent fund raising request: Rs. 2 lakhs needed for Sone Ki Chidiya movement

Date of fund raising request: 06 March 2013

FTI, founded in July 2009, is a forum for policy, strategy, and leadership development, focused on the defence of life and liberty in India. Its members will lead India, through elections, to unprecedented prosperity.

The purpose of SKC is to deliver good governance to India, so we can put the era of corruption and injustice behind us and start achieving our potential. Sone Ki Chidiya is what India was in the past. And what it will be in the future.

Initial work to conceptualise this movement is being done by a few interested individuals including by FTI. SKC is a broad-based movement for everyone in India. Its platform is available to everyone who wants liberty and good governance in India, based broadly on a draft vision.

Why this urgent need to raise funds?

These funds will be used to add to SKC awareness-building efforts currently underway, in preparation of the National Reform Summit in early April 2013.

‘सोने कि चिडिया’ आंदोलन – विकसित आणि स्वयंपूर्ण देश घडविण्यासाठी (FTI initiative)

सर्वांना जाहीर आवाहन,

विकसित आणि स्वयंपूर्ण देश घडविण्यासाठी “सोने कि चिडिया” ह्या आंदोलनात सहभागी व्हावे.

खूप झाले आता भ्रष्टाचारी लोकांना शिव्या देणे, मेणबत्त्या घेऊन गल्लोगल्ली फिरणे. आता सूत्रे स्वतःच्या हाती घेणे गरजेचे आहे.

राजकीय बदल अनिवार्य आहे.

चला सगळे मिळून “सोने कि चिडिया” या व्यासपीठावर एकत्रित येऊ आणि देशाविषयीचे आपले स्वप्न पूर्ण करण्यासाठी काम करू. जर २०१४ हातून सुटले तर २०१९ पर्यंत ह्याच नालायाकांची अरेरावी, चोरी, गुंडगिरी, सहन करावी लागेल. आणि आपल्याला वाया घालवण्यासाठी खरच वेळ नाहीये. त्या ५ वर्षात आपण १० पटीने अधिक समृद्ध आणि वैभवसंपन्न होऊ शकतो.

Uddhav Thakare, please work for empowerment, freedom, opportunity.

This is really sickness. They start demanding freebies whenever there is any disaster. But no contingency plan. No plan in place to empower farmers, to make them self dependent.

Lets stop this non sense once. Uddhav Thakare, I don’t support such naive demands. Every time demanding waivers, subsidies sound like beggar than self-respecting human. Where are the real demands for freedom, freedom of expression, freedom of movement, equal opportunity etc..

‘कौटिलीय अर्थशास्त्र’ म्हणजे अंतर्गत राज्यकारभार आणि परराष्ट्रसंबंध यांचे विस्तृत विवेचन

स्रोत: प्रा. र. पं. कंगले ह्यांच्या भाषांतरित ‘कौटिलीयम् अर्थशास्त्रम्’ ग्रंथामधून.

राजनितीवर पंथ-निरपेक्षपणे विचार करणारे प्राचीन भारतातील एकमेव शास्त्रीय लेखन. ह्या शास्त्रामध्ये सर्वस्वी इहलोकीच्या गोष्टींचाच विचार केला आहे.

सध्याच्या काळात अर्थशास्त्र हा शब्द ‘इकॉनॉमिक्स’ या अर्थी उपयोगात आणला जातो. परंतु ह्या ग्रंथाचा विषय तो नाही. १५व्या अधिकरणातील अर्थ ह्या शब्दाची व्याख्या:

“अर्थ म्हणजे उपजीविका, म्हणजेच मनुष्याची वस्ती असलेली भूमी. त्या भूमीचा म्हणजे पृथ्वीचा लाभ आणि तिचे पालन यांचे उपाय सांगणारे शास्त्र ते अर्थशास्त्र”(१५.१.१-२)

‘अर्थ’ म्हणजे इहलोकीच्या जीवनाची समृद्धता हा त्या शब्दाचा मूळ अर्थ. आणि हि समृद्धता संपत्तीमुळे प्राप्त होते. म्हणून संपत्ती असा ह्या शब्दाचा अर्थ होतो. सर्व प्रकारच्या संपत्तीच्या उत्पादनाला मनुष्याचे श्रम कारणीभूत होतात आणि हे उत्पादन अंततः भूमीतून – शेतांतून, खाणींतून - वैगेरे प्राप्त होते. तेव्हा संपत्तीनिर्मितीच्या मनुष्य व भूमी ह्या दोन्ही घटकांचा एकत्र निर्देश असलेला ‘मनुष्यांची वस्ती असलेला भूप्रदेश’ असा ह्या शब्दाचा अर्थ सहज निष्पन्न होतो.

पृथ्वीचा लाभ व पालन हि जी अर्थशास्त्राची दोन उद्दिष्टे त्यापैकी लाभाचा विचार म्हणजे मुख्यत्त्वेकरून एका राष्ट्राच्या दुसऱ्या राष्ट्रावरील आक्रमणाचा विचार. त्या संदर्भात साहजिकच परराष्ट्रसंबंधाचे विवेचन करणे क्रमप्राप्त होते. पालन करायचे ते पृथ्वीचे आणि तिच्यावरील माणसांचे. पृथ्वीचे पालन म्हणजे राष्ट्राचे रक्षण. ते रक्षण मुख्यतः शत्रूपासून करावयाचे असते. हा विषयही परराष्ट्रसंबधात अंतर्भूत आहे. राज्यातील मनुष्यांचे पालन म्हणजे त्यांचे दैवी आणि मानुषी आपत्तीपासून रक्षण करणे एवढाच अर्थ नसून त्यांच्या योगक्षेमाची काळजी वाहने हा अर्थ सुद्धा अभिप्रेत आहे. लोकांचे रक्षण करण्यासाठी आणि त्यांच्या योगक्षेमाची काळजी घेण्यासाठी कारभाराची मोठी यंत्रणा उभारणे आवश्यक असते. म्हणून अंतर्गत राज्यकारभाराचा विचार हे  शास्त्राचे दुसरे अंग. ह्या दोन्ही अंगांचे – अंतर्गत राज्यकारभार आणि परराष्ट्रसंबंध यांचे – अत्यंत विस्तृत विवेचन कौटिलीय अर्थशास्त्रात केले आहे.

जय भारत!

I dream of planting 10Lakh trees in draught prone areas of Maharashtra

There are numerous places in Maharashtra where the draught has become an routinely affair now. Every few years it returns people start looking towards sky and government. To which sky, sometimes, answers, since it is capable; but government always fails because they are unprepared, dont know what to do and even aren’t willing to do.

What to do? I took upon an experiment of artificial rainfall in my village during 14-19 August 2012. Only to avail no results. I won’t say it failed, but I learned that ‘the end moment heroics doesn’t save sinking ship, it just raises the hope’. Upon putting more thought into the problem, I realized that wherever there are more trees and residual water the rainfall is higher.

So simple, right? Eureka. Now, started thinking about planting trees all of a sudden to which my friend, Sandeep Gaiwad, added fuel by sharing this video.

Now I’m dreaming of planting 10Lakh(1 million) trees in draught prone areas of Maharashtra to start with. I don’t know where to start? Where it will lead? But I’m sure that, at least, I’ll plant some trees wherever possible. I dream of green and liveable Bharat. I dream of prosperous and free Bharat. I dream of making Bharat a place was know in history for its wealth and might.

I’m inspired by Chipko Movement too. Must read it.

So I created some pages on Intent and Posibl to attract more and more like minded people.

If you like the idea please share views, alternatives and all possible information which can help in this endeavour.

Jay Bharat!

 

Dr Ambedkar’s speech – I

I love the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s speech delivered at time of presenting the constitution to constituent assembly for voting on 25 November 1949.

I’ll present it bit by bit as time permits. Here is how he concluded his speech to adjourn the assembly and that defines who was the Dr Ambedkar, beloved Babasaheb.

…Independence is no doubt a matter of joy. But let us not forget that this independence has thrown on us great responsibilities. By independence, we have lost the excuse of blaming the British for anything going wrong. If hereafter things go wrong, we will have nobody to blame except ourselves. There is great danger of things going wrong.

Times are fast changing. People including our own are being moved by new ideologies. They are getting tired of Government by the people. They are prepared to have Governments for the people and are indifferent whether it is Government of the people and by the people. If we wish to preserve the Constitution in which we have sought to enshrine the principle of Government of the people, for the people and by the people, let us resolve not to be tardy in the recognition of the evils that lie across our path and which induce people to prefer Government for the people to Government by the people, nor to be weak in our initiative to remove them.

That is the only way to serve the country. I know of no better.

Jay Bharat!

Sone Ki Chidiya (सोने की चिड़िया) movement

Reproducing from Sanjeev Sabhlok’s Revolutionaty Blog

Everything must start with an idea.

Some time ago it became evident that we needed a new wholistic (not just anti-corruption) movement for reform in India. It had to capture the aspirations of India, and not just be “anti-” this or “anti-” that.

There had to be a positive goal attached to the movement.

Therefore, after much thinking and discussion, FTI’s new logo (Sone Ki Chidiya) was developed as the title for a possible new movement.

Today that movement has been launched, like a “diya” launched on the Ganga. Attached to that is a draft vision, which will be significantly refined in the coming weeks.

The idea has evolved into a small website, and we are hoping to hold a summit in April to discuss the precise reform pathway with anyone who is interested.

Those interested in taking this forward may wish to follow the guidance given at the website.

One of the key factors in favour of this title for the movement was Swami Ramdev’s personal request to me, a month ago in Haridwar, to use FTI’s Sone Ki Chidiya logo on his own vision document released (printed 100,000 copies) last month.

Here is the website. Please visit it. http://sonekidichiya.in/.

The image below shows the use of Sone Ki Chidiya logo in Swamiji’s vision for India.

(You can also, if you wish, download the Bharat Swabhiman vision document – in Hindi – about 7MB. Some of the points in this vision have been included into the SKC draft vision, which will be improved considerably in the coming weeks through extensive review/ discussion/ consultation).

Open Letter to PM (Protectors Became Predators)

मराठीमध्ये येथे वाचा

To,
Congress Lead Central Govt,
Bharat.

Respected Prime Minister,

It seems you have lost the sense of responsibility by looking at your and your government’s response to the incidences in recent few years. I’m taking this effort to remind your basic responsibilities.

Works you are appointed for:
1. Protecting freedom of speech, movement and profession of your citizens
2. Delivering equal justice to all citizens
3. Securing your citizens life and property from internal and external enemy
4. Ensuring equal opportunity for all citizens (by developing basic infrastructure)
And along with that answering all questions by your citizens and presenting expenditure reports to them.

You took the oath to carry out all your responsibilities with all loyalty but, regrettably,  you could not deliver even one of them. Here are few examples for your information, if you are not sure what I’m talking about.

1. According to some of your rules your people arrested a young cartoonist for drawing a cartoon, no action against those who arrested him.
2. There was loss of life and property of the people who migrated from other parts to Assam and Maharashtra, here also no action against the perpetrators.
3. Forget about equal justice you didn’t even dismiss/expel those who looted the national exchequers.
4. There is rampant atrocities against women across the nation including, shamefully, the capital of the nation, frauds, cheating is endless and what is your response to it? Nothing, instead your colleagues started creating controversies by spreading lies about that subject leaving citizens with dismay and discontent.
5. Some terrorists crossed the border and wrecked havoc in nation, what did you do? Instead you started cricket diplomacy. Shame.
6. Not just that soldiers of that country killed our soldiers brutally and took away head of one of the soldiers, leaving whole country deep anger and helplessness. But your colleagues advised us not to get involve into jingoism. Without stopping there they grew their rhetoric by saying we have greater threat from opposition political party. What did you do?
7. In such circumstances instead of worrying about safety and security of citizens Home Minister made baseless allegation that Hindu/Saffron terrorism is growing. Really, Hindu Terrorism? If that’s the truth then 80% of the Hindu population would have created havoc in whole world. In this way he started abusing the most secular and tolerant people of the world.
8. Rural population is dying for a drop of water while huge water wastage observed widely in many cities. What steps did you take?
9. The quality education and reliable health-care is still a dream for common citizens, what did you do? You launched new schemes, without accountability, to create new lawns for rampant corruption. On top of that you forget them very conveniently.
10. If any citizen asks questions or demands accounts to you or your government, then citizens get bullied, harassed by income tax department or arrested. Are you elected to let your government be vindictive seeking revenge?
11. A citizen arrested on Saturday mid-night and then tortured and physically abused in an illegal custody. Why? Because, his brother, a senior advocate, is fighting a case against government in Supreme Court;

Now after all these mistakes, deliberate or unknowingly, why you be allowed to continue in office? Why you not be charged with breaking trust and disrespecting constitution and sovereignty of citizens?

And remember don’t ever think who is this person to teach me my job? I’m, your master, a sovereign citizen of this nation. You can’t challenge my authority.

Jay Bharat!

- An awakened citizen.
