CORRUPTION
Now, the newspapers reported that the 17.5 acre Mumbai Textile Mills belonging to the public sector National Textile Corporation of India was sold for Re. 702.2 crore to the
In this connection, it must be noted that the newspapers, presumably to justify the sale, disclosed that the previous Government sold Jupiter Mills in March 2004 for Re.276 crore. It is obvious, that the former Prime Minister did not go ahead with the sale of Mumbai Textile Mills and Apollo Mills although he had ample time to sell these properties. It is also clear that he might have agreed to the sale of Jupiter Mills very reluctantly due to the pressure from the back room players. Therefore, he, apparently, wanted to get rid of the manipulators by advancing election by eight months.
The sale of the NTC Mills by the present Government without any debate or discussion at any level strengthens the hypothesis of this writer that the former Prime Minister abdicated power just to escape from the hands of the manipulators and some of his close colleagues. The present scenario shows that some top leaders in the BJP stood by the former Prime Minister. The present sale of the NTC Mills at Mumbai forces one to think that it is partly the gratis of the former Prime Minister that all other PSUs escaped from privatization. When one considers the circumstances and the sadistic forces that surrounded him, it might go down as his service to the Nation.
It is pertinent to point out that the Government is not selling these properties for want of money because Re. 2,60,000 crore is rotting in the PSUs alone as surplus funds.
It must be noted that the people of
Further, recently, a Congress leader – believed to be the most powerful person in
Further, the Government might be right in selling the NTC Mills to property developers. However, why did the Government sell them without any publicity? The people might construe the sales affected in the darkness of night as theft.
Three years ago, when the Chief Minister of
On 25 June, 2005 the Director of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) met the Prime Minister and spent 90 minutes with him. Though the media brigands described this as a meeting in connection with the issue of tiger poaching, it could have been to put the plunderers of the public on a straight and narrow path only by the most rigid of controls.
The newspapers reported that the surplus funds of 50 PSUs in India as on June 2005 was Re. 2,59,576 crore. The petroleum PSUs had a reserve of Re.89,486 crore and the BSNL had Re. 50,518 crore. The paper said that the PSUs had a plan to invest about Re. 88000 crore only. As the Union Government wanted the private parties to mint money, the oil Public Sector Undertakings also were invariably benefited.
The Economic Times reported that the banks got a huge amount as service charges during 2004-2005. According to the paper, this amount more than compensated the loss incurred due to the fluctuations in the lending rates. This is consistent with the letters of this writer. Obviously, there need not be much difference between deposit rates and lending rates.
As a reply to the letter No.52 dated 22 June 2005, an official of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), on 27 June, 2005 said that the SEBI was contemplating strong action against vanishing companies and unscrupulous promoters particularly those companies that amassed crores of rupees from gullible investors on the 1990s primary market boom. But nothing happened afterwards.
A private company on 21 June, 2005 said that it would supply diesel at doorstep. It was described as their innovation. In this connection, it must be noted that any Government that acts in good faith could have granted permission to all people to sell petrol, diesel or kerosene. It is strange, that the Government is not doing this even after 52 letters. Now, the King of Trivancore or his subjects, who die in starvation, shall not trade in diesel but one or two individuals from other States could do so in Trivancore, which is now in
The two-day National Development Council (
Further, he talked about public- private partnership for the development of infrastructure.
In the meeting, the Prime Minister pointed out the necessity to ensure “minimum security of tenure” to the IAS officers. The Prime Minister has been saying this right from the day of assuming office. In this connection, it must be pointed out that the stakes placed several officers in key positions with an eye on manipulation during the NDA rule. Disturbing them would not be in their own interest. In fact, it appeared that the first thing that the stakes asked the present Prime Minister to do was to spare the officers from transfer. But, some Ministers, apparently, expressed their desire for transferring some officers. One way to resist their demand is talking about the virtues of ensuring “minimum security of tenure” to the IAS officers and the Prime Minister himself is doing this job successfully.
Curiously, the Prime Minister said that the Government after reducing its role as licensor or controller in many sectors was assuming the role as an umpire. In this connection, it must be noted that in the light of 52 letters anyone could discern that the Government made a private company and a few others the licensors and controllers of
The Chief Ministers, during the National Development Council (NDC) meeting, apparently, did not touch anything present in the letters of this writer. The media brigands might have suppressed their words. However, the Home Minister said that there must be probity in public life. He went to the extent of saying that any Government that is not transparent cannot be recognized as good Government. This indicated the strengthening of the constructive forces and the weakening of the destructive forces within the Congress party and in the Union Cabinet. However, future alone would prove or disprove this hypothesis. The Home Minister, reluctantly, used to talk like this.
One welcome development was that the public sector TV, for the first time, gave some importance to the Chief Ministers. Thus, it showed the faces of all Chief Ministers- while they were talking- through a special programme in its news channel on 27 June, 2005 at 9.30 P.M. This is consistent with the “facts” that generated the letter No.52.
The Foreign Minister of Pakistan on 26 June, 2005 said that

Some newspapers on 4 July, 2005 reported that cash surplus Indian companies acquired 26 foreign companies within three months of the financial year 2005-2006. During this period, the foreign companies bought 20 small Indian companies that too for small amounts only. Naturally, thanks to the recent unconstitutional decision of the RBI, Indian companies are vying with one another to buy foreign companies. Anyone could smell a rat in it. There must be a well thought out plan to make available the deposits in the banks and the foreign exchange for private investments in
The recent decision of the Government is the most unfaithful and unconstitutional action ever taken by the Union Government after independence. If the possession of foreign companies were imperative for the development of Indian industries, the Government could have bought them directly. Naturally, about fifty companies, instead of mobilizing money from the public or borrowing money from the Indian banks for investments in

It must be mentioned that the entire family rejoiced over the letter. Many who came to know about this in the village and in the college were also happy. A few elders in the village gently prodded. In fact, they are very proud of this. This could be discerned from their nods and smiles. The Prime Minister of England extending his best wishes to the “family”of an individual in a remote corner of
The Hindu on 7 June, 2005 published an article written by His Excellency the President of India. It was based on the interaction of President of India with Jain Muni Acharya Shri Mahapragya a few days ago, which was not reported by the mass media. It is reproduced below.
“Conscience is the light of the Soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It is as real as life is. It raises the voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of the knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. Conscience also is a great ledger where our offences are booked and registered. It is a terrible witness. It threatens, promises, rewards, and punishes, keeping all under its control. If conscience stings once, it is an admonition, if twice, it is a condemnation. Cowardice asks, “Is it safe?” Greed asks “ Is there any gain in it?” Vanity asks, “Can I become great?” Lust asks, “Is there pleasure in it” But conscience asks? “Is it right?” Why have we become deaf to its voice? Insensitive to its pricks? Callous to its criticism?
The answer is corruption.
Corruption is an assault on consciousness. The habit of taking bribes and seeking favours has become very common. People holding important positions have developed inconsiderateness to their conscience. They pretend everything is all right. Do they not have an idea of the law of action and reaction? Have they forgotten how impressions of the conscious mind and their force work? If you take bribes, your thoughts and actions are registered in the subconscious mind. Will you not be carrying forward your dishonesty to your next generations causing them great suffering? It is a painful reality that corruption has become a way of life affecting all aspects of living, personal as well as social. It is not merely the pecuniary corruption but other forms as well. Immoral ways of people holding high positions and handling power have taken away guilt from the minds of lesser mortals. What a dangerous situation? A great civilization is endangered.
A virtuous man alone can use the instruments of conscience. He alone can hear the inner voice of the soul clearly. In a wicked man this faculty is dead. The sensitive nature of his conscience has been destroyed by sin or corruption. Hence he is unable to discriminate right from wrong. Those who are leading organizations, business enterprises, institutions and Governments, how can they be corrupt? Is it not wise to have a clean conscience and enjoy freedom from anxiety and all kinds of worries? If you do wrong actions and sinful deeds and treat them lightly today, you will not hesitate to perform various crimes tomorrow. If you allow one sin to enter and dwell in your conscience, you pave the way for the entry of a thousand sins. Your conscience will become blunt and lose its sensitivity. The habit of doing evil deeds will pervade the whole body like the poison of a scorpion.
Do you know when you are corrupt, your children who are indeed enjoying the fruits of your corruption are mocking at you? After all they are well informed and knowledgeable. Your parental mask is too thin to hide the contempt of your children. You are no more the role model of your own children. Is this disgrace not enough? Our society is fast reaching a stage where the immunity of conscience is challenged by the corruption, as HIV would do to the body of an AIDS patient. The corruption has seeped into every stream of our lifeblood. Can we save ourselves as a civilization?
Spiritual leaders have evolved morals, codes, and teachings of righteousness. Beautiful hymns, songs and prayers have been written and composed. But the annihilation of conscience by corruption appears frightening. Religion has not been effective in evoking conscience. Who then will? Can our conscience be redeemed?
A movement for the Foundation for unity of Religions and Enlightenment of citizenship (FUREC) against corruption has to be made as a new feature”.
The meaning of the above message of the President of India is obvious. The President is able to distinguish between entrepreneurs and manipulators. If this message were clubbed with his earlier utterances, the President, apparently, wants the extirpation of manipulators and exuberant growth of entrepreneurs. The message shows that the President is not ready to condemn the Constitution to die and that he might succeed in separating the natural political leaders from those groomed by the stakes. He might also succeed in identifying the person who makes that good life impossible for 1000 million people.
It must be noted that these are the harshest and most hurting words ever used by any President against his Government. The Hindu alone published it as an article supplied by the President himself. Though The Hindu published it, none in
It must be also noted that the above words of the President of India are the result of 52 letters. It is the repercussion of the letters sent to the world leaders. The President of India, Members of Parliament, Chief Ministers, political leaders and the world leaders would think of the plight of 1000 million people and contribute their share – however small it may be- for their emancipation through the restoration of constitutionalism in

CIVIL SOCIETY
Now, the newspapers reported the decision of the Union Government to auction the loss making Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). Many loss making PSUs are located in the heart of cities and as such they could be used for the construction of hospitals, bus stands, old age homes or playgrounds. The common man writes this again and again because the media brigands do not report the news and views of ordinary people.
The Prime Minister called on the President of India on 13 July, 2005.The media brigands immediately concocted a story and said that the meeting was in connection with the impending Cabinet expansion. Apparently, the Prime Minister used to call on the President for every letter. Anyhow, it was the first time that the media brigands reported the existence of a meeting immediately after an email.
The G-8 countries decided to improve the regulatory frameworks over the companies to control green house gases. Whether the G-8 countries contemplated anything to control the manipulations of the companies and the media brigands or not was not conveyed.
The Union Government on 14 July, 2005 permitted the big nine PSUs to make investments up to Re. 1000 crore each. The other PSUs were granted permission to make investments up to Re. 500 crore. It must be noted that about Re.2,50,000 crore is rotting in the PSUs. The people believe that the Government has been inhibiting their growth for the last 15 years as if they were for sale. What would the Government do with the huge deposits in the banks and the surplus funds of the PSUs? Why does the Government refuse to use public deposits for public investments? What would the Indian engineers do with all their know-how? Will anyone tell the reason? Do the Members of Parliament keep their fingers in the pie? Is it not their real function?
Now, there were reports that the public issue of the public sector Syndicate Bank was oversubscribed by 32 times. The media brigands did not publish the views of the public in this matter. 52 letters also went in vain as the Government rejected the demand to reserve the shares to various States. This shows that the Government is still in the hands of the fifth force. As there is subversion of free expression none in
The President of India also fails in his duty.
Some newspapers on 16 July, 2005 described the present Prime Minister of
On 16 July, 2005 the 52 letters and the relevant facts comprising 274 pages were sent to the Hon’ble Chief Ministers of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Chhatisgarh, Goa, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Orissa, Punjab, Tripura, Utter Pradesh and West Bengal.

A newspaper on 22 July, 2005 wanted the people to cherish those who possess great talent rather than envying them and begrudging their success. It said that just allocation of admiration is a virtue that requires judgement and integrity: judgement to distinguish genuine talent from mere showiness, and integrity in refusing to bestow praise on those who do not fully deserve it.
A Supreme Court Bench on 19 July, 2005 cancelled 81 petrol pump allotments that were granted on extraneous considerations. Thus, the Supreme Court cancelled the allotments made by the NDA Government to its kith & kin. Now a private company alone is permitted to allot 5000 petrol pumps to its kith & kin and the Supreme Court sits as if it were immune to environmental changes. Does anything in the Constitution- Liberty, Equality or Fraternity- justify it? In this connection, it must be stated that a judge in the Bench forfeited the right to hear cases in the Supreme Court long before this case. Yet, the Chief Justice secretly constituted this Bench to extract this judgement. The President of India must have noticed it and acted firmly and decisively. In the present matter, despite 52 letters to His Excellency the President of India, the learned judges of the Supreme Court have utilized their sovereignty to deny the rights of 1000 million people. They have proved that their instinct is better than the Constitution. The July 7 message of the President of India showed that his blood boiled on seeing the 52 letters. Now, it is strange that the President of India has no inoculation against this kind of tribalism.
The Government on 21 July, 2005 directed the
Not withstanding the 52 letters, the Government sold another 9 acre Mill belonging to the NTC for Re. 441crore on 21 July 2005 to a company connected with the former Union Minister, who had a net asset of Re.2.5 crore while joining the Union Cabinet
Tender for the public sector Elphinstone Mill - acquired by the Government in 1983 as a sick Mill- could not be opened because the sale was challenged by its former owner. The unconstitutional nature of the sale could be discerned. In fact, the land belongs to the people. Even many kings in
In this connection, it is pertinent to point out that the sale went in the predicted lines i.e. when everything is for sale some Union Ministers themselves would like to buy one or two PSUs. Obviously, this deal strengthens the hypothesis that the former Prime Minister advanced the election to control the desires of his colleagues. It must be noted that people hesitate to exhibit even one tenth of the manipulated wealth.
On 22 July, 2005 all the 52 letters were sent to the Prime Ministers of Norway,
Besides, the same matter was sent to some Members of Parliament in the profound hope that the ultimate good would be reached by free trade in ideas.
The Government and the media brigands succeeded in subverting the free expressions of the leaders, Chief Ministers and the Members of Parliament in this matter. In fact, the media brigands sent all those who received the CD into oblivion. Thus, the public sector TV used to show a particular Member of Parliament periodically. Now he is not seen at all. Whatever the media brigands do, the letters will have a profound impact on the system in the long run.
The Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) having an asset of Re.60,900 crore and a
Just like the deal with other foreign companies, the above agreement, apparently, subverts the Constitution by making possible practical adjustment of interests. Evidently, it is a new predicament of 1000 million people. The political philosophers say that every new predicament calls for a new political philosophy to resolve it.
In this connection, it must be noted that a collaboration or competition between a Government company and a private company of this kind would be an uneven one by reason of the following reasons.
1.The media brigands always demand privatization of all PSUs. Therefore, the
2.The money from the ONGC would be siphoned off to these companies.
3. The employees of the ONGC did not express their happiness presumably because they fear that the agreement might be a ploy to extract the expertise of the ONGC.
4. The net asset values of all PSUs are increasing by leap and bounds even without any collaboration with private companies.
5. During the years 1991 to 1995, the

8. The new Government, in bad faith, refuses to restore the illegally privatized PSUs. It refuses to give answers to several unanswered questions.
9. Many people suspect that the friends and relatives of many Union Ministers are becoming entrepreneurs presumably because of such agreements.
10. The militants kill innocent people. They give no reason for their acts. Similarly, the political leaders, Members of Parliament or the public were not allowed to discuss the pros and cons before signing this deal. The agreement occurred like a blast, more powerful than any other blast in the

On 24 July 2005, the Chief Justice of a High Court said, “The people have the right to criticize judges because they are supreme. They are our masters and as masters, they have the right to criticize their servants. They have the right to take the judges to task if they do not discharge their duties properly”. The Chief Justice said this recognizing himself as the master of people. Otherwise how could the media brigands publish his words and black out the words of other judges and the man in the street?
It is pertinent to note that it was the above Chief Justice who, apparently in bad faith, on 27 June 2005 struck down the order of the Government of Tamil Nadu that abolished entrance test for professional courses. The Chief Justice overshadowed the other member of the Bench in this issue. In order to pronounce this judgement, the Bench relied on Article 14 of the Constitution, which aims at equality.
The people of
It is pertinent to note that a newspaper on 5 August, 2005 commended the above Chief Justice. The media brigands would never praise a judge without purpose. Further, all those who broke the Constitution had been in the good book of the media brigands for a long time. Many learned judges of the Supreme Court talked like this before or after chocking the Constitution. Apparently, the newspaper wants to see him in the Supreme Court very soon. In fact, within days he was elevated to the Supreme Court.

Now, the newspapers demanded the disinvestments of the shares of the PSUs, including the BHEL, by propounding a new theory.

The leader of the DMK party on 31 July, 2005 said that the Other Backward Classes (OBC) were denied the benefit of quality higher education in the IITs, IIMs and other prestigious educational institutions and demanded the Union Government to extend the benefit of reservation to the OBCs. It must be noted that the DMK is a coalition partner of the present UPA Government. The Union Government is yet to take a decision to reserve the seats to various States for unity and integrity of the nation is another matter.
A Member of Parliament belonging to Congress Party, said that his party was ready to pass a resolution in the Parliament forbidding disinvestments in the big nine PSUs beyond 51%. According to him, this would make privatization without the approval of the Parliament impossible for any future Government. In lieu of this, he beseeched everyone to allow the Government to sell the remaining shares over and above 51% to the favoured people. He was not interested in reserving the shares to various States. He was demanding this with a purpose. Later, he was made a Minister of State for his manipulation value.
The President of India on 2 August, 2005 said that the citizens expected righteousness from the leaders.
On the same day, a Union Minister said that the letters received from workers and “others” opposing disinvestments in the BHEL were under consideration. Thus, the word “letter” was used for the second time. In this connection, it must be stated that this writer did not oppose the sale of shares of the PSUs at all. What this writer wanted was to apportion the shares to various States in an equitable way.
Another Union Minister on 3 August, 2005 said that 17 sick PSUs including the NTC Mills, Tyre Corporation and Madras Fertilizers were identified for rehabilitation.

With reference to the above observations it must be noted:
1. By writing like this the paper has unwittingly done great damage to Indian corporate houses. This is because all countries and their representatives might take notice of this, although some countries would ignore it due to different reasons.
2. The paper says that Indian companies would bring back at least 25% of their profits and as such it would lead to plenty and prosperity to Indians. However, all right thinking people believe that it is far from truth. They believe that Indian companies must be distinguished from foreign companies in this matter.
3. The paper says that large-scale remittance of profits would lead to the impoverishment of the host country. The truth is that large-scale removal of public funds from Indian banks would lead to the impoverishment
4. The policy that allows conversion of public funds into foreign exchange is a very dangerous one. If the Indian currency depreciates, a fraction would come back. If it appreciates, no money would come back as the loan could be repaid using internal resources.
5. One should not imagine that their observations are directed to this writer. At the same time one cannot ignore it either. “Indian companies would subjugate

Further, the media brigands described the above Minister and two or three of his colleagues as the most honest people in the NDA Cabinet. Some media brigands described him as a crusader. On 23 February, 2003 a paper described him as one ‘among the few good men’ and a ‘maverick martyr’. This paper said that his ministry was ‘burning
Whatever happened, it is clear that the media brigands are portraying any leader as honest man and black out all his wayward behaviours for the purpose of depriving 1000 million people of their property. In fact, the media brigands deceive 1000 million people and plunder public property in cold blood in this way. The Union Ministers who indulge in wayward behaviours are stabbing their own leaders from the back is another matter. If the Union Ministers begin to plunder Re.thousands of crore through simple manipulations, what would the people do? Who are the actual criminals in
Now, the UPA Government is not ready to confiscate the privatized property. This is the reward of the UPA Government to the people, who still repose their faith in the present leaders.
On 12 August, 2005 a seven-judge Bench of the Supreme Court abolished reservation for various communities in all unaided educational institutions and unanimously held that they had absolute rights to admit students of their choice in all courses including professional courses. However, they defeated the purpose of their own judgement by forbidding those institutions from profiteering by collecting capitation fee and by stipulating a 15% quota for the
The court did not talk about the fate of the agreement between the Government/University and the managements for granting affiliation. This agreement is akin to a contract. Men register their agreement to come together under certain rules and norms in a society. In fact, almost all private professional colleges prefer to remain under some rules to set up a right society.
Further, neither did the media brigands publish the arguments of the case nor did the Supreme Court direct them to publish them. In fact, most of the cases now-a-days are heard in the darkness of night. However, this time the Indian TV showed the face of the Chief Justice of India for one or two seconds. This is partly consistent with the demands of this writer.
In this connection, as a seven-judge Bench handed down the judgment, the protagonists of the judgement say that the prestige of the judgement is great and it would be strictly implemented and profiteering effectively prevented. Even if the judgement results in the collection of capitation fee, the protagonists consider this as a good step for the exponential growth of private institutions in
On the other hand, the antagonists of the judgement demand total nationalization of professional colleges. The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, even threatened to nationalize all professional colleges in his State.
The moderates among the antagonists demand the conversion of all private educational institutions into aided institutions. They compare the present method of banning capitation fee to the policy of banning toddy to sell brandy. These people believe that the Government would simply fail to prevent the educational institutions from collecting capitation fee and that the present judgement would enable the private colleges to collect more capitation fee than before. They believe that the learned judges are making fair things into foul things and vice versa to the detriment of the society. In fact, a series of bad judgements shocked two students studying law in
Whatever the merits and defects of the judgement, everyone in

Militant people in Andra Pradesh (AP) State killed a Member of the Legislative Assembly belonging to the Congress party and eight others who accompanied him for the Independence Day celebration on 15 August, 2005. The Government of the AP immediately re-imposed the ban against the militants. It gives great pain because innocent people are being killed everyday in one place or other. Every Chief Minister must consider it as an incident that happened in his own State. The Chief Ministers could definitely save their people not only from militancy but also from slavery. In other words, they could work for the emancipation of their own children. For this, they must consider the question of paying more attention to submit their own States and their own money for creating entrepreneurs from their own States. It is not to say that the Chief Ministers must indulge in manipulations or narrow mindedness. It is only to say that when a Chief Minister develops the children of his State by protecting them from unwarranted exploitations, he is contributing his share to the development of entire

It said that between 24 million and 29 million Indians died in famines in the era of British rule. It said that according to the report of the East India Company, close to 10 million people had died of man-made famine during 1770-1772 and over 6 million humans perished in 1876. Quoting from Late Victorian Holocausts by Mike Davis the paper said that in 1876 while a week long feast was conducted for 68,000 guests to proclaim Victoria Empress of

On 21 August, 2005 a newspaper said the Prime Minister was fighting various fires from within and outside his party. The paper added that the Congress leader was supporting him because there was no alternative. This shows that the Members of Parliament expect their leaders to give answers to all unanswered questions. The rapidity of the manipulations would have bewildered them. Unconstitutional manipulations always undermine the confidence of the leaders to lead a nation. This is the reason why several letters were sent to His Excellency the President of India, in vain, to save the leaders from large-scale manipulations.
The Prime Minister on 21 August, 2005 said that the people must redress their grievances through sustained dialogue and democracy. On hearing this one would think that the Prime Minister would allow freedom of expression, publish these letters and save democracy for the benefit of the posterity. One would expect him to prevent large-scale manipulations also. However, future alone would prove or disprove this hypothesis.
A Union Minister on 22 August, 2005 said that the oil prices would increase. In fact, he saw “no alternative”.

A DRIVING FORCE
The Hindu on 24 August, 2005 said that the equation, Reform = Privatization, had lost its meaning and that many countries all over the world were taking it for granted.
A Union Minister informed the Parliament on 24 August, 2005 the decision of the Government to set up a new commission to look into the issues of Centre-State relations in the light of the changes that had taken place in the economy of
The media brigands reported the displeasure expressed by the Chief Justice of India, over the criticism of the Members of Parliament and the others against the recent judgement that abolished Government quotas in private unaided educational institutions. The Chief Justice had said that the Government was going after the verdict without understanding it. The Chief Justice told the Attorney General to tell his client to give the respect the courts deserve or close them down.
Some newspapers on 25 August, 2005 also deplored that the Members of Parliament thrashed the judiciary on the “quota case” without understanding the arguments. Had the Supreme Court directed the media brigands to publish the arguments, the question of misunderstanding their judgements would not have occurred at all.
A Union Minister on 25 August, 2005 informed the Members of Parliament that Re.2021 crore were mobilized through selling five National Textile Corporation (NTC) properties at Mumbai. He said that out of 119 NTC Mills, the Board of Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) had recommended the closure of 66 unviable units and revival of 53 potentially viable units. The Members of Parliament, for the first time, asked how the bidders of the NTC Mills raised money to buy the Mills. Apparently, the Members of Parliament were seized of the manipulations mainly due to this work.
In this connection, it must be noted that the Government of India could, in the past, start and run these Mills. Now it is unable to run the existing Mills presumably because of the influence of the stakes on the system.
As the Members of Parliament wanted to know the modus operandi of buying the PSUs, an industrialists on the next day said,
“
If you are truly a nationalist, it should not matter whether it hurts you so long as it is fair and moves the country forward. But regrettably human nature is not that way.
What we are doing is a lot of back stepping and rolling back…. What is happening is sometimes the policy is being compromised to an extent where it had no strength or is ineffective. We are just treating things based on sometimes sort-term views. Sometimes it is worthwhile to look at the whole policy since things have changed.
I think certainly we cannot keep the subsidies at a level where government deficits become huge, endangering the prosperity of the nations. I think sometimes along the line there has to be hard recognition of some facts. All things cannot be subsidized forever. If crude price went up in the international market, it should find a reflection in the domestic market and to offset the huge subsidy burden, kerosene prices should be increased a bit.
What I think needs to be done is already being advocated at the level of the Prime Minister or at the level of the Finance Minister.
We must not lose the benefit we have from abundant and low cost labour. There is a great deal
For manufacturing, to be the factory of the world if you like, we need inputs, which are at the international rates, which
The New Indian Express in its editorial dated 29 August, 2005 among other things said, “If someone as influential (as, say, x) feels so powerless in combating the strangle-hold of vested interests on policy making, what hope is there for lesser mortals?
He also points to vested interests within his own tribe in the private sector, who are more than ready to sacrifice the interests of the nation for their own venal gain.
A combination of interests working behind the scenes has rendered policy-making completely non-transparent and open to manipulation.
The Prime Minister has a commendable long-term vision but even the occupant of the most powerful office in the country finds himself hostage to petty interests,
How often do they –politicians, capital, labour- allow short term interests to stand in the way of the country’s progress?”
A Koreian company on 25 August, 2005 said that it was not seeking any concession from
On the same day, the Prime Minister said that there were limitations “for the time being” and “we don’t have the broad based consensus in our coalition to assert that I can move forward in a big way”. Perhaps based on the observation of this writer that the Government could convert all private colleges into aided colleges after reserving a small quota for managements to mint money and to encourage private entrepreneurship, he said, “ I have not given up hope. I have full confidence in the patriotism of our Left colleagues to believe that in the final analysis of what is good for
With reference to the United Nations Organization (UNO), the Prime Minister said that a “democratic-deficit” prevails in the world body. Thus, the Prime Minister wanted from the
The Security and Exchange board of India (SEBI) on 26 August, 2005 prescribed a minimum of 25% public holding in all listed companies. It is one of the most important positive steps ever taken by the UPA Government. If implemented strictly, it would pre-empt the listed companies from buying back the shares during natural or artificial fall in share prices. This would definitely weaken the ability of the listed companies to mint money by manipulating the share prices. This matter had been conveyed to the Government earlier. However, the SEBI, to the disappointment of everyone, said that it would implement it in the next two or three years only.
Some newspapers on 26 August, 2005 said that the Left had extracted its pound of flesh in terms of stalling disinvestments. In this connection, the editorial warned that the employed in the organized sector should not hold at ransom the future of the unemployed. In this connection, it must be noted that the important objective of 52 letters was creation of more jobs.
The Government of Kerala, in the meantime, disclosed its decision to start an air service. This decision must be commended. All other States could follow this. Similarly, as the Gulf countries are in the vicinity of Kerala, and as there is no dearth of funds with the people or with the financial institutions, the Government of Kerala could grant permission to start not one or two but ten or twenty refineries – without harming the environment- under public or private sector to supply petrol and diesel to the rest of India and even to the entire world..
Meanwhile a private company said that the company was expecting over a quarter of its revenue coming from overseas operations in the next five years.

In this connection, it may be recalled that in early 2002 the State Government employees of Kerala resorted to a great indefinite strike demanding salary on par with the Central Government employees. The then Chief Minister of
As the strike did not come to an end even after one month, this writer requested the Chief Minister of Kerala to consider the question of inviting the employees for talks and giving them an assurance to restore all benefits based on the financial position of the State. Besides, the Chief Minister was requested to consider the question of starting 100 aided or self-financing Engineering Colleges and 10 to 15 Medial Colleges in the State. The request was written on the margin of the copy of the three letters sent to the President of India. The officer who received the letters duly transmitted them to the Chief Minister. The Chief Minister on the next day invited the employees for talks and agreed to restore all benefits depending on the financial condition. Thus the problem was solved. Self-financing colleges were also immediately permitted. This is perhaps the reason why
Now, there are 85 self-financing
Further, the then Prime Minister of India, instead of denying the demands of individuals fulfilled them. In fact, fulfilling and not denying the individuals is the hallmark of democracy. He disallowed many unfair demands of the stakes. Thus the banks and the
Coming back, on 29 August, 2005 a Supreme Court Bench directed the
The executive vice president of a private company said, “The Company is open to recruiting students from rural areas. We believe as long as one can get through our rigorous selection procedure, it does not matter where they come from”. This was the answer to the contention that the private companies selectively blocked the chances of the students for employments.
Some newspapers now demanded that the ONGC must be made accountable to the shareholders and not merely to the Government as the public held 26% of the shares. The paper said that it should not behave like a Government owned company simply because the Government is the majority shareholder. Media brigands had been saying that the nature of the company would not undergo any change so long as the Government held majority shares. Having succeeded in cornering 26% of the shares, they now demand that the ONGC and the other PSUs must be accountable to its shareholders.
The National Integration Council (NIC) meeting was held on 31 August, 2005. Many Chief Ministers, besides key political leaders, attended the meeting. The media brigands did not give any prior information about this meeting although it was held after a gap of 13 years. The sudden meeting gave the impression that the Chief Ministers formed themselves into an association to secure for their boys a legitimate share in the “assets & shares” of the Nation. The Prime Minister in his inaugural address said that the world wanted
However, a newspaper said that the Chief Ministers were not Chief Masters. The paper on 3 September, 2005 came to the conclusion that the real power had now shifted to the State Governments reducing the Members of the Union Cabinet into mere policy makers. He was very sad that the power of the Chief Ministers would grow under the present conditions to the great peril of national parties. In this connection, the paper deplored that the Union Finance Minister was the least powerful. The paper on one side reflected the nature of the discussion in the National Integration Council. On the other hand, it remained as a portent for the impending manipulations. Later, the wishes of the manipulators alone prevailed.
Thus the Prime Minister on 1 September, 2005 exhorted the people to shun the habit of being excessively apprehensive and think big to grab the new market opportunities to unleash the creative potential of the entrepreneurs. On the same day, the Union Cabinet decided to sell 8 per cent of the equity of the Government in Maruti Udyog Ltd (MUL) to the financial institutions.
In this connection, the Cabinet ignored the consistent demand of the common man that the shares in the hands of the Union Government must be reserved for various States. The shares belong to the people of all States. Now, the shares would go to the favoured people through the financial institutions. This is out and out unconstitutional. This is not to say that the Union Government has no right to sell or buy anything. This is only to say that the Union Government has no moral or constitutional right to deprive the people of their assets. The shares of Maruti would not roll in the hands of the people of Kerala or any other State based on the economic conditions prevailing in those States. All right thinking people would say that the Government is projecting injustice and manipulation in the political system to increase the wealth of not all but a few.
Unveiling the Statues of Gandhi, Nehru and B.D. Ambedkar before the Kerala Legislative Assembly on 3 September, 2005 the Prime Minister said, “ The legislatures must follow the path laid by National leaders. We owe it to ourselves in a manner that is worthy of our people, our freedom fighters, the Constitution and the Republic. As Ambedkar said, cultivation of Constitutional morality among people was indispensable for the successful operation of democracy. There is no point in constructing fine buildings that are pleasing to the eyes, if proceedings within are hardly pleasing to the ear”.
While the Prime Minister of India was talking like this, there were reports that the Life Insurance Corporation of India (

The Vice-Chairman, University Grants Commission, said that the concern of individuals for human security led to the overall development of the society.
On the eve of Teachers Day, a Union Minister, requested the teaching fraternity not to be misguided by lust for power.
On the next day, the Prime Minister said that the teachers were shaping the future of the Nation.
Now the Chief Justice of India said that the courts could clip the wings of others including the organs of governance. The message is not a clear one. However, it is said that the law cannot have double meaning for the learned judges and the people. The people and the Members of Parliament openly say that there is a nexus between the learned judges and the stakes. If it were not so why does the Chief Justice of India evade the 52 letters before the President of India?
The Chairman of the National Commission for Minorities requested the minorities not to criticize the democratically elected governments with constant complaints of perceived discrimination. This writer did not notice any criticism against the Government that emanated from any minorities. Further, this writer did not write even a word for or against the minorities. After all, the demand for State wise reservation of “seats & shares” is for everyone. Therefore, it might be a message of the manipulators to this writer. If it were true, it must be stated that the letters have done irreparable damage to this writer. This work, in fact, indirectly gives untold sufferings to this writer. In this connection, one must reckon the opposition from the family. This is not to say that the repercussions were not really guessed. However, only those directly victimized know the meaning of suffering. When viewed through this angle anyone would say that this writer is wantonly committing mistake after mistake, crime after crime.
Further, it is true that one or two letters were sent earlier to some leaders sporadically. They were written partly for fulfilling inherent human aspirations and partly for discharging social obligations. However, the present series of letters were written only after cogitating over the matter for a long time. The political philosophers were quoted partly to explain the innate human nature and partly to show that this writer owes his knowledge largely to them. It is really amazing that the political philosophers envisaged the predicaments of 1000 million people hundreds, even thousands, of years ago.
Furthermore, anyone could see that this writer is always supportive of entrepreneurs because the society will be lacking in life without them. In fact, they give life to thousands of people although a few entrepreneurs stand on the ruins of thousands of small entrepreneurs. Therefore, it was this writer who first demanded reduction in interest rates to save the small industries, which depended on bank loans rather than on stock market and share prices. It was this writer who demanded substitution of Excise Duty with Transaction Tax to make Indian products competitive in the world market. This writer did not mention directly or indirectly anything when an industrialist removed Re.845 crore from Bank of India because of the firm belief that he would utilize the money to manufacture some hardwires that
Now, the President of India, Members of Parliament, Chief Ministers and many political leaders would definitely think of retrieving the lost PSUs, lest they would feel that they failed to do what they ought to have done during their tenure.
One or two newspapers reported that the Government of India and the All Party Hurriyat Conference came to an understanding on 6 September, 2005 to end all forms of violence in Jammu & Kashmir Stae even as four militants were killed on the same day in the State.
The petrol and diesel prices were hiked on 6 September, 2005. Everyone felt that the Government could have waited till the total elimination of the tax component before increasing the price. The Union Government could have compensated the Sale Tax of State Governments as well, as the Union Government uses the foreign exchange for imports. The Government could have taken steps to eliminate the subsidy also, as many perceive subsidy as a ploy to mint money. Even an industrialist is against subsidy. In fact, people hate subsidy in kind although they might love subsidy in cash. Further, the people do not relish rationing for kerosene.

If 0.1% Transactions Tax were collected for all kinds of transactions, the banks and the Government would get a huge amount which the banks themselves would find it difficult to hold. In such a scenario, the mysterious force would come out with various plans to usurp or divide among them this amount. Therefore, the regulatory mechanism must be strengthened. Instead, the mysterious force is motivating the banks to come out with public issues!

The root cause for the present predicament is that a few boys could buy the Supreme Court. They could then assume to themselves the power to grant petroleum outlets.

On 29 October 2005, the Prime Minister, after laying the foundation stone of a Re.5400 crore -750 MW gas based power project at Agartala, urged the North-Eastern States to establish business ties with neighbouring countries as the region would become a gateway to South-East Asia. He further said that the focus of his Government was on economic development and also political and social empowerment of the people. Obviously, the words of the Prime Minister were fully consistent with the letters of this writer. If the Prime Minister believed in his own words, the PSUs would be split or shared equitably. Similarly, all public sector financial institutions would be brought under the States for the social and political empowerment of people.
Three consecutive blasts killed 62 people in
On 30 October, 2005 the media brigands reported that the Independent Inquiry Committee (IIC) appointed by the UN to investigate the Food –for- Oil Programme of Iraq found that
A Supreme Court Bench headed by the Chief Justice on 30 October, 2005 asked an Indian private company to go ahead with its Re. 15,400-crore mega steel plant project at Dubri in Jaipur district of Orissa on its own risk at a disputed site subject to the outcome of another petition before it. The media brigands including the public sector TV channel did not report the names of the judges in the Bench. On the next day, the Chief Justice retired from service. However, on the eve of his retirement, the Chief Justice said that he was upset by comments from all around that the Supreme Court was anti-poor, anti-poverty and anti-down trodden in its judgements. He said that he was not against criticism. However, he said that he was hurt by the criticism of the Supreme Court as an institution.
In this connection, it must be admitted that there could be nothing more painful than the lack of trust of people in the Supreme Court. Why do the people all around feel that the judgements are being delivered or withheld to suit the needs of the strong?
Immediately after the “BALCO judgement” the learned judges of many High Courts openly said that the BALCO judgement stood in the way of delivering just judgements. The obvious message was that the BALCO judgement had an immoral influence on the judiciary. Therefore, the Supreme Court should have dispelled the apprehensions of the learned judges immediately. Instead, the Supreme Court ignored it. The indolence of the Supreme Court disturbed the people. The “petrol pump case” drove the people to think that vanity had become the key-note character of the Supreme Court. Naturally, the people began to feel that the Supreme Court was treating the common people with haughty contempt.
Some learned judges are the embodiment of justice. When two lakh employees were dismissed from service, the Supreme Court did approach the matter objectively. Though the timely intervention could have been due to the alertness of the President of India, many employees looked upon the Supreme Court with love and respect. But, people all over
Now, the people think that a wicked cause must be at the bottom of the present judgement also. In fact, the judgement would contribute to militancy. As the Court did not explore the reason for not giving this work to the Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL), anyone would tell that the Chief Justice heard the case in private interest. The suspicion deepens because the media brigands did not publish the arguments or other relevant facts of the case to make it a public matter. No wonder that some people would ascribe the judgement to the lure of the lucre. Therefore, the Chief Justice need not have heard the case so as to deliver the judgement on the penultimate day of his retirement.
It is important to note that the learned judges in
There are certain “desirable essentials” in Governments also. It may not be possible for any Government to possess all of them. But, all Governments must have at least one “good or noble” quality - the quality of acting in “good faith”. Anyone would tell that the word “SOCIALISM” present in the Preamble forbids the Governments from entrusting the mineral wealth of
Why should the people all over

Is there any way to escape from this predicament?
The Government, the President and the Chief Justice could undo the harm done to the Constitution. For this the new Chief Justice of India could constitute a suitable Bench- after conducting an Orientation Course to all learned judges- to annul all unconstitutional and immoral judgements. He could thereby restore all illegally privatized PSUs. The sanctions imposed against 52 letters also could be lifted. The people could be allowed to know the news and views. However, it was the present Chief Justice who heard the petrol pump case. As might became right in his hands, present Chief Justice would frustrate by the right of might all attempts of the President to restore order in India. What would the people do?
Now, the people suspect a deeper threat to their loved liberties. It is a human rights issue. The Human Rights Commission could look into this matter.
In view of the new developments, the facts from 20- 10- 2005 to 2 - 11- 2005 are being sent to His Excellency the President of India on 3 November, 2005 through email.

The above letter might also contribute its share for the emancipation of 1000 million people.
A newspaper said that some people were opposing the extraction of iron ore by a Korean Company in Orissa although the State had been exporting 15 million tonne of iron ore every year. The paper simultaneously said that Orissa has a reserve of 5,428 million tonne of iron ore. The meaning is that no harm would befall on the nation if 15 million tonne more ore were exported.
The media brigands on 6 November, 2005 screamed that a Congress leader had written a letter to Mr. Saddam Husain, the then President of Iraq, on the controversial oil –for food vouchers. Many such allegations were leveled against the Congress leader in a concerted way through different newspapers and individuals although all news and views, apparently, emanated from the same source.
The Enforcement Directorate and the Income Tax Department conducted searches at the office of the son of a political leader in connection with the Volker Committee report.
With regard to the Volcker Committee report, the following points must be noted.
1. The present system would corrupt any one. Therefore, a new system that prevents corruption rather than catching anyone red-handed is needed. This writer genuinely wanted to save all political leaders from corruption and destabilization. Thus, the first point of the first letter of this writer to His Excellency President of
2. The Union Government could disperse, say, Re.500 crore to Re.1000 crore to the political parties for the Parliamentary Election. The leaders in the BJP and other parties talk about the question of State funding of elections intermittently although nothing materializes.
3. The Volcker Committee report must remain as an eye opener to everyone. The media brigands could have published the report. They could have demanded an inquiry but without shutting the door on the 52 letters. Therefore, it is the duty of the President of India, political leaders and the Members of Parliament “to frustrate the plots and conspiracies of the most unscrupulous crowd that ever strives to blacken the pages of a country’s history”.
The media brigands stopped talking about this matter after a few days presumably because they got what they wanted.

The President of India, presumably keeping in mind the July 24, judgement of the High Court, Madras and some other judgements, said that the judiciary should not cause embarrassment and even injustice to the democratic system and the rights of its citizens by intruding into the territory of the executive, as the dividing line is slim, even vague.
Everyone knows that the economic policy of the Government cannot be against the Constitution of India. One would say that the Government has the right to buy and sell. It could sell its PSUs not to private individuals but to the public of different States without allowing concentration of shares so that the public sector character would be retained.
Similarly, Government is forbidden from buying or taking over any private property for public purpose with an eye on alienating the property of one or two individuals.

The predecessor of the present President of India, on 12 November 2005 considered the assertion of the hitherto suppressed and exploited sections for their rights as a silver lining.

The private company will have 51% share and the SBI will have 49%. It must be noted that unlike private companies, all Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) are governed by some rules and regulations. Such rules would disappear in joint venture companies. Therefore, it looks like a decision taken in private interest to load the private individual with public funds. Ultimately, the company would go in the hands of private company. Though the President of India is in a better position to judge it, the Government must retract itself from all joint ventures. Apart from the Constitution of India, the recent experiences also demand this. In fact, but for the recent experiences such demands would not have occurred in the mind of the people.

A Supreme Court Bench headed by the Chief Justice on 25 November, 2005 adjourned the “High Court judges appointment case” to December 9 and asked the Union Government to complete the appointments in the interim.

Coming back, the Chief Justice of India on 27 November, 2005 said, “I would like to say with outmost humility that the judiciary in some cases has only emphasized constitutional provisions, the true spirit thereof by highlighting the express as well as implied intention of the Constitution draftsman which for some reason or other remained unimplemented at the hands of the executives…… In judiciary we have no place for diplomacy. In (the) very nature of our duties and functions, someone is bound to be displeased but that is unavoidable……The greatest asset of the judiciary is the confidence of the people. Loss of confidence of the judiciary is the end of law.” The Chief Justice was speaking at the Law Day celebrations organized by the Supreme Court Bar Association. One could construe it as a reply of the Chief Justice of India to the facts sent to His Excellency the President of India on 22-11-2005.
In this connection, it must be noted that the common man cannot but think of this matter because the statement of the Chief Justice of India is in the context of the Constitution of India and therefore the destiny of 1000 million people. It is well known that the stakes everywhere want to multiply their resources. The stakes in
It all began when the then Chief Justice of
Now the murderous media mafias wanted the Supreme Court to take over the BALCO case from various High Courts. Fearing the mood of the Supreme Court, this writer made a moaning sound. The Supreme Court swiftly took over the cases, constituted a Bench in a minute and the “innocent head of the Constitution of India –the Preamble- rolled in the dust”. Soon the President of India went to the Supreme Court. He was not able to enlighten the enraged Chief Justice or his followers in the Supreme Court. They refused to give the details of the incident to the President as a matter of “economic policy”.
The people were shocked by the incident. “They began to look with apprehension at the cold-blooded act and gave expression to their disapproval. But, the murderous media mafias did not report anything. However, the Chief Justice became slowly conscious of the enormity of the crime and felt strangely perturbed”. Therefore, he threw mud on the judiciary by saying that 20% of the judges were corrupt.
Just at that moment, another party of the murderous media mafias dragged the petrol pump case, -a “strange looking specimen” of the Preamble; Equality- which was struggling for all it was worth into the Supreme Court”. “Uttering a savage shriek of laughter”, media mafias wanted the Supreme Court to cancel the petrol pumps granted by the Members of Parliament to their kith and kin. The Supreme Court knew that the people would welcome canceling the petrol pump. It knew that if it did not ask the Government to frame a better guideline, none would take notice of it. It knew that this simple avoidance would keep a few manipulators in luxury not only till the end of their lives but also for generations. It knew that the avoidance of a simple sentence –a very small sentence- would conquer the entire
“As the eyes of the learned judges fell on the piled-up corpses in a corner of the Supreme Court, they closed their eyes. Being in a slightly chastened mood, the Supreme Court condescended to address the BPCL/HPCL case. The learned judges opened their eyes as if from a dreadful dream, and looked around them with a stare. The whole body of the Constitution of India was covered with rags no better than ribbons, and it was smeared from head to foot with dirt and grime. Its unkempt hair lay in a tangled matted mass over its head and shoulders, giving it an appearance at once frightful and fantastic.
At the sight of the pathetic face of the Constitution, a wave of pity swept through the cruel heart of the Supreme Court, and the learned judges asked the Government to get the nod of the Parliament to dispose them.
The reaction of the people was strange and unexpected as the judgement came when they lost all hopes of getting an intelligent answer from the Supreme Court. A ludicrous grin twisted the faces of some people, as if with the memory of some frightful incident. Some burst into song, telling others some dark deeds of blood committed by some people”.
Immediately, another gang of the murderous media mafias went to the Chief Justice to elicit some information regarding the HPCL/BPCL case. They believed that the Chief Justice would load them with riches very soon, if necessary by doing away with the Constitution of India. The Chief Justice, in fact, wanted to make a day of it. This writer again pointed out the impending danger. Therefore, the former Prime Minister did not allow the Minister for Disinvestments to thrust the Constitution into the Supreme Court. “By some strange luck, neither the media mafias nor the stakes who had accompanied the stupid- looking Constitution that morning were there to identify it, or else the Supreme Court might have fared worse. The Chief Justice finally asked the learned judges not to kill anybody thereafter.
The Chief Justice then fretted that he had no powers and an uneasy lull prevailed for a long time. The media mafias silently dragged the wretched-looking Constitution to a new Chief Justice again. The Chief Justice knew that the case was in his hands. “No escape!” No one was there to enlighten the enraged Chief Justice about earlier incidents, and for that ignorance, the Constitution of India “paid the penalty with its life”. The Chief Justice of India seemed to be satisfied with the penultimate “day’s work”. He was also a little exhausted, and left to his home, accompanied by the stakes.
There was practically no reaction from the people. Owing to the power wielded by the Supreme Court, those who were capable of doing something held their tongue in fear and practical wisdom”.
“The good-for-nothing Constitution is still in the hands of the media mafias. Hundreds of media brigands have surrounded the place. The Constitution cannot escape”.
The present President also went to the Supreme Court, stared at the fallen bodies and returned silently.
It is said that one must study the past and derive strength from it to fight for the present. The above is what one gets when the works of

HUMAN RIGHTS
A seven judge Bench of the Supreme Court on 30 November, 2005 declined to review its August 12 judgement that scrapped State quotas and reservation in private, unaided, minority and non minority professional educational institutions across the country. The judgement was a unanimous one.
The reservation is akin to the rent an institution pays to the state. It could be compared to the tax a company or an individual pays to the state. The quotas create conditions essential for an honourable living. However, the views of the learned judges are different. Their views in this matter are simply the logical extension of their views in earlier judgements. Further, in this case also the media mafias did not publish the arguments placed before the Bench. The basis for determining the composition of the Bench was also not revealed.
However, the Union Government this time was very alert to annul the effects of the Judgement. In other words, the Members of Parliament (MPs) stepped in to do the work of the watchdog of the Constitution of India thereby making the Supreme Court of India irrelevant to the present scheme of things. Thus, the Constitution Amendment (104th) Bill to reserve seats for socially and educationally backward classes besides the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes in private unaided educational institutions was passed by the Parliament on 21 December, 2005. Many MPs praised a Congress leader for the alertness with which the effect of the judgement was annulled. Though this Amendment would not affect any big stakes in
In this connection, it must be noted that the learned judges of the Supreme Court consider themselves superior to other human beings. The people also expect them to be supremely men. Yet, the Members of Parliament were not ready to follow them. The Government would get similar support from the Members of Parliament if it were ready to take back the privatized PSUs to bring the Constitution on its rails, to reserve the seats in the IITs and others or to reserve the shares of the PSUs for various States.
Now, a person, who had been an ambassador to
Further, some newspapers on 11 December, 2005 reported that two deals of the NDA Government involved Re. 27000 crore (Twenty seven thousand crore). One was the purchase of A.K.47 guns from a Bulgarian company in bulk and the other was the land allotment deal. The latent message was that Re.thousands of crore was lost as commission due to the bulk buying. The commission money might have gone into foreign countries or to the stock market. The part of the commission might have been utilized for buying the PSUs. The
The Prime Minister on 8 December, 2005 said that the Government must resist populism and that the art of political management lay in ensuring longevity in office while taking difficult decisions. Presumably keeping in mind the facts sent to His Excellency the President of India on 11 November, 2005 the Prime Minister said that he would not go back on the so-called reforms.
A private TV Channel persuaded eleven Members of Parliament, including a Member of the Upper House, to receive money for raising questions in the Parliament and caught them on a secret camera. It was then telecast on 12 December, 2005. The Speakers of two Houses suspended all the Members shown on the TV. Similarly, another private TV channel persuaded seven Members of Parliament to receive commission to allot work for the Member of Parliament Local Area Development (MPLAD) scheme and caught them on a camera. It was telecast on 19 December, 2005.
Apparently, the TV channels conducted the operations to divert the attention of the people from the dominant issues plaguing the nation. None in
In order to estimate the enormity of the crime committed during the recent past, it must be recalled that a guideline devised for privatization had forbidden the Government from selling the PSUs to charge-sheeted companies. Yet, the IPCL and some other PSUs were sold to charge- sheeted companies. Similarly, a
Even the President of India does not deny the allegation that the present Prime Minister gave the money as a reward for making him the Prime Minister of India. Even now, the Prime Minister is not only paying “truck-loads’ of money as tribute to a few stakes but also selling the shares of public sector companies to others. This is nothing but naked exploitation. The tragedy is that the Prime Minister indulges in exploiting 1000 million people. In other words, the Prime Minister is doing this for his own personal happiness and not at all for the happiness of 1000 million people. The Prime Minister knew that 52 letters had contributed a lot to save the PSUs or their shares from the clutches of the conspirators. He knew that the letters contributed their share to save the nation from the bad consequences of the BALCO judgement. He knew that this writer could achieve it not due to his position in the Government but due to whatever residual strength the Constitution of India possessed. Yet, the Prime Minister, apparently, is acting like a conspirator!
Inaugurating the diamond jubilee celebration of the Kerala History Association, the President of India on 18 December, 2005 said that the strength of the nation lay in the value its people had nurtured down the history and these should form the basis for the country’s march towards the future. He said that dogmas, rituals, systems and norms of the historical past continued to condition the mind of the people of
Though it is a digression, it must be pointed out that the Judicial Magistrate, Padmanabhapuram, in Tamil Nadu State rejected a petition for the dispensation of personal appearance, issued a warrant and asked this man, who happened to be the second accused in a fabricated criminal case No 284/1997, to sit in front of him in the open court from 11 A.M. to 5.50 P.M. on 19 December, 2005. Some people in the court said someone from the District Court had asked the Magistrate to cancel all petitions. Everyone in
Coming back, on 23 December, 2005 a two judge Supreme Court Bench allowed the appeal of the Government of Orissa against a High Court judgement. The High Court had held that the policy decision on allotment of quarters on a rotation basis was illegal. Delivering the judgement, the Supreme Court said the court should not substitute its judgement for that of the Executive and that the Constitution does not permit court to advise Executive on policy matters. At the same time, the learned judges contradicted their own words by saying that the courts could interfere when the decisions violated the fundamental rights or any statutory provisions. In other words, according to the present realization of the Supreme Court, the economic policy of the Government should not go against the fundamental rights. Does the Supreme Court really mean it? Why does the Supreme Court refuse to rectify the defects in the light of the new realization? Or does the Supreme Court say this to take away the fundamental rights- the gift of State, law or nature - from the people altogether as in the previous occasions?
In this connection, it must be emphasized that the 52 letters and the facts were sent to His Excellency the President of India based on the fundamental rights only. Thus, the fundamental right against exploitation prohibits the Government from selling the PSUs or their shares to any favoured people under any pretext. The fundamental right to equality also prohibits discrimination based on place of birth. The latter fundamental right reinforces over the former fundamental right and prohibits the Government from selling the PSUs or their shares directly or indirectly to the people of one or two States. In other words, the Government is forbidden from selling the PSUs or their shares before reserving them for various States. For the same reason, the Government is precluded from releasing the money of the public sector financial institutions to the brokers or people of any area disproportionately. Any violation by the Government or anyone in power would go down as misuse of official position and it would be a cognizable offence.
Similarly, the above two fundamental rights demand that the seats in the IITs, NITs, IIMs, Class I services and others must be reserved for various States equitably without wasting any time. Bulk buying is also a violation of fundamental rights because it involves big commission. This must be stopped forthwith because this also comes under the fundamental right against exploitations. For the same reasons, the big PSUs like the
Is the Preamble of the Constitution of India different from the fundamental rights? There is practically no difference in the meaning. Thus, the words like, equality, democracy, freedom to impart ideas, liberty, fraternity and above all justice are synonyms of the words found under fundamental rights.
Is there any difference between fundamental rights and human rights? Here also, there is no practical difference. This is perhaps because the enactment of the Constitution of India was immediately after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Therefore, the fundamental rights, human rights and the Preamble of the Constitution of India are almost similar to one another. This is the reason why a former President of India described fundamental rights “as a pledge to our people and a pact with the civilized world”. Therefore, the letters of this writer would have a universal application.
Is there any conflict between these 52 letters and capitalism? These letters are not at all against capitalism. The money deposited in the public sector financial institutions is the capital of the small investors, who refuse to hand over it to private parties. These institutions should not go the way of the Unit Trust of India (UTI) by advancing the money to favoured people to play on the floor of the stock market. Even otherwise, it is said that the money if not protected slips away fast. The money in these institutions should not be made available to anyone for manipulations offending the Preamble of the Constitution of India, fundamental rights or human rights. If allowed, all resources of this small planet would go in the hands of a few manipulators not through their industry but through their simple manipulations. Therefore, all private parties who require capital must tap private money and the Government must step in to use public funds for large-scale public investments.
The fundamental rights, according to Dr.Ambedkar, are heart and soul of the Constitution of India. The Supreme Court in the past considered fundamental rights, as basic structure of the Constitution of India and therefore these rights cannot be taken away even by amending the Constitution of India. However, the High Courts and the Supreme Court alone could enforce these rights. As the Supreme Court made the fundamental rights- the head of the Constitution of India- to roll in the dust, the Supreme Court cannot be trusted to enforce the fundamental rights at present. For strange reasons the National Human Rights Commission too is denying human rights as it is searching for ways to suppress these letters. The President could convene a meeting of the High Court judges or send a circular to them to ascertain their views. The learned judges might consider it as a writ petition and come out with remedial measures. If the President also were helpless to enforce the fundamental rights in one way or other, the Members of Parliament would have to consider the question of empowering any other body to enforce the same.
In this connection, it must be pointed out that the murderous knife of the Supreme Court that passed through the body of the Constitution of India in the petrol pump case created a deep hole in the body of the 1000 million people. The body is bleeding. Sitting in front of the investigation agencies, the learned judges of the Supreme Court, Prime Minister, President and above all 1000 million people a few boys are drinking the blood. The people in the street say that these boys receive Re.30 lakh for granting a petrol pump. They receive it not secretly but they sanction loan through nationalized banks and take the money for themselves. In return, they supply tin and metal pieces worth about two to five lakh. The owners of the petrol pumps would have to extract money from the people overpricing petrol and pay to the banks. If two or three boys in
Furthermore, the people believe that these boys use the money to buy judgements, influence political leaders and to effectively disqualify the works of men like this writer. Thus, the people believe that they subvert democracy and deny human rights to Indians.
On 28 December, 2005 the media mafia reported that the public sector banks released Re. 1,720 crore as loan for Stock Market operations. The Union Government is, apparently, paying tribute to the stakes in this way to remain in power. This is nothing but arbitrary invasion by the state. It is out and out unconstitutional. Extracting money from all over India and releasing it to the people of one or two States is against fundamental rights because, as said earlier, the Constitution of India prohibits discrimination on grounds of place of birth. Obviously, the Government of India is acting immorally using bad influence.

The Allahabad High Court on 5 January, 2006 quashed the Central law that gave Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) its minority status and held illegal the reservation of seats for Muslims in its postgraduate medical courses. The learned judges said that the Supreme Court in 1968 had taken the view that the AMU was not a minority institution and enactment of a law by Parliament could not overrule the judgement.
The Union Cabinet met on 6 January, 2006. The media mafias included some half-baked items in the agenda. Thus, the Cabinet cut the food subsidy by Re.4524 crore. The newspapers supported the decision. The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu State immediately demanded the Union Government to withdraw the cut. A DMK party leader-a coalition partner-, also wanted the Prime Minister to withdraw the decision. The leader of the PMK, -another coalition partner- said that the decision would not be implemented. To the utter surprise of everyone in India, the spokesperson of the Congress party on 9 January 2006 issued a fiat to the Government to cancel the decision. On the next day, a Union Minister announced the withdrawal of the decision. Obviously, it was not a decision of the Union Cabinet, Congress party or the ruling alliance. Even the Prime Minister would not have applied his mind over this matter. The decision was not due to any dearth of funds also. It is clear that it was a decision taken by some hidden hands. This indicates that the Prime Minister is not enjoying full control over the Executive. Obviously, the manipulators, who made most of their opportunities during 1991-1996 and ruined the country, are very active in the backrooms of power.
The Prime Minister on 7 January, 2006 said that India was on the threshold of unprecedented opportunities. He added that if right choices were made and the country remained cohesive and faithful to the objectives enshrined in the Constitution, the opportunities could be realized. This is, apparently, the reply of the Prime Minister to the facts sent to His Excellency the President of India on 4 January, 2006.
It must be stated that the system, apparently, considers the giant manipulators in

Coming back, on 12 January, 2006 the Union Government sold 8 percent of its equity stake in Maruti Udyog Ltd for Re.1,567 crore to eight public financial institutions. The financial institutions would sell the shares to the favoured people after the lock in period. Thus the representatives of the stakes in the Union Government disregarded 52 letters and the other relevant facts sent to His Excellency President of
Even as the shares were sold, one or two newspapers silently disclosed that four fictitious investors had cornered 8.29 percent of the retail category of the IDFC public offer. Their four entities opened more than 42,000 false accounts and grabbed more than one crore shares of the IDFC. They had earlier acquired the shares of the Yes Bank and others adapting similar methods. All other Initial Public Offers (IPOs) were - as predicted by this writer- manipulated in a similar way. They would later sell the shares to the
Noticing the above frightful incidents, a Union Minister on 13 January, 2006 said that he knew the culprits. But, he put the blame on the software engineers who designed the system. Finally, he implored the manipulators not to repeat the manipulation to corner the shares of the public sector Andra Bank and Bank of Baroda, which would hit the market very soon. In other words, he asked them not to use the same trick for financial plundering.
The disclosure is consistent with the theory that the shares of the PSUs just like private IPOs have been going into the hands of the unscrupulous crowd and that 1000 million people have been deprived of their property, all in violation of the fundamental rights. Thus, all the people of
Further, if this financial plundering could be accurately predicted by a common man lacking in knowledge about the inner working of the Stock Exchanges, what all the
When some PSUs were privatized, this writer moaned and pointed out the unconstitutional nature of the sale to His Excellency the President of India. Immediately, the former Prime Minister, in spite of all his courage and resourcefulness, halted the sale of PSUs to charge-sheeted companies. Had the sale been constitutional, no force in this land could have prevented him from selling the PSUs.
In the sale of the VSNL the system made a short work of the Constitution of India. Again the agony of the people was conveyed to the President. Had the sale been correct, all the nationalized banks and several other PSUs including the BSNL would have gone into the hands of private parties through simple paper adjustments.
The moment the present Prime Minister thought of spending his precious time in the cause of private parties, this writer again pleaded to the President. Neither did the Prime Minister give heed to the protests nor did the President dissuade the Prime Minister from jumping into the hands of the unscrupulous crowd.
It is now clear that the innocent head that rolled in the dust inside the Supreme Court was not the Preamble of the Constitution of India. It was the “basic structure of the Constitution of India”. It is said that the basic structure of the Constitution could not be changed even by the Parliament. But, the Supreme Court quite cunningly extinguished it through simple judgements. Otherwise, how could the system perpetrate the above illegalities upon 1000 million people? Had there been one percent constitutionalism or humanism, leave alone patriotism, in the veins of the Supreme Court, this would not have happened in
Chanakya says that the act of murder is not a crime like in battlefield or in self- defense. Now, in
Is there any way to escape from this predicament? Fortunately, even now the system could put right - at least partly- the public wrongs of the past few years. It is said that all perfection in the world are attended by some imperfection. The people will have to accept all human beings with all their associated evils. However, anyone would tell that first step is the restitution of the lost PSUs. For this, the President must love truth. The Prime Minister must give heed to the well-meant counsel of the President. He must also respect public opinion and generous enough to spend his time in the cause of the country and the people. The Supreme Court must be gracious, impartial and fair-minded. If all functionaries were even now impervious to all arguments, the other leaders and the Members of Parliament could show the way and save the nation.
Obviously, the conclusion that the Supreme Court has extirpated the basic structure of the Constitution of India is not based on one or two incidents or judgements. The act of concealing this work, a series of bad and unconstitutional judgements, a series of exploitations of the people in violation of the fundamental rights and human rights and the inaction of the investigation agencies, National Human Rights Commission and the Government over several financial plundering prove this conclusion. Most important positive point is that the stakes did not so far carry out their threat to eliminate this writer. Perhaps, they realize that this work is not directed against anyone but the natural consequence of the happenings in
It must be acknowledged that several officers, Members of Parliament, political leaders and many others knowingly or unknowingly contributed their share to enrich this work. The former Prime Minister of India, the present Prime Minister of India, Congress President and the leaders of many political parties complemented the efforts of this writer in one-way or other. The imposition of service charges by the NDA Government and the introduction of transaction charges by the present Government are outstanding examples. Former President was a source of great encouragement. The present President of India also indirectly encourages through his periodic utterances. Recently, he said that he considered the achievements of the people hailing from villages as his own achievements. Now, the President of India knows the real worth of this work. There is a strong feeling that this writer would get Nobel Peace Prize for this work if it were brought to the notice of the Nobel Prize Committee. Therefore, His Excellency the President of India, the Members of Parliament and the Government of India may kindly consider the question of nominating this writer for the Nobel Peace Prize besides re-constructing a new
The facts from 4 January, 2006 to 15 January, 2006 are being sent to His Excellency the President of India through Email on 16 January, 2006

THE FIENDS
A few days passed without significant developments. A newspaper on 22 January, 2006 said that the Prime Minister did not enjoy any real power. The people thought that the newspaper was indicating the discomfiture of the manipulators.
In the meantime, the Public Issue of the Andra Bank and the Bank of Baroda –two public sector banks- passed off silently. The sale of shares without any reservation scheme for various States indicated the domination of the manipulators. The national newspapers did not disclose anything about the sale although some people said that it was oversubscribed by more than eleven times. Thus, the system again made a short work of the Constitution of India without the least compunction and deprived the people of
The All India Congress Committee plenary session in a landmark resolution on 22 January, 2006 said that the Congress Party, and therefore the Union Government, had realized its responsibility. The resolution requested the Left parties to refrain from criticizing it. The resolution, apparently, showed that the Government understood the meaning of 52 letters and none including the Left parties need give any suggestion to it. If it were true, it must be a welcome change.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in the meantime, directed the banks to do a comprehensive check on their funding of Initial Public Offering (IPO) issues in the last three years. It was to find out the role of registrars, depository participants, brokers and individuals for manipulating bank funds through fictitious accounts for cornering the retail portion of the primary issues. The RBI further imposed a fine ranging from Re. 5 lakh to Re. 20 lakh on seven public and private banks for violating know your customer (KYC) regulations. In a damage control exercise,
In this connection, it must be noted that the decision to identify the manipulators is a revolutionary step. This decision is a giant step consistent with the 52 letters and the facts sent to His Excellency the President of India. This decision seeks to prove the contentions of this writer scientifically. This gives the impression that the President of India or a small body of informed people is taking control of the situation for the benefit of 1000 million people. In fact, it appears that the defeat of the manipulators is inevitable as this small body of committed leaders might take necessary steps to confiscate the assets acquired using public funds. There would not be any dearth for committed officers to do this job. The detailed analysis of the destination of the shares might enable the people to discover the actual location of political, economic and judicial strength of the manipulators. The only condition is that the job must be done faithfully and sincerely. Will the Government do it? Finally, nothing came out of the probe. The people could not know the truth.
In the Republic Day message to the nation on 25 January 2006, His Excellency the President of India said that enlightened people were needed for the progress of the country. Citing the story of the ‘lost sheep” in the Bible, the President said that the 26% people who live in the below poverty line must be rescued. What does the President mean by the “lost sheep”? Does he mean the lost PSUs? The President of India alone knows the answer.
The King of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah bin
In another revolutionary decision, presumably taken at the instance of a Congress leader, ten Cabinet Ministers from North, South, East, West and Centre were inducted in the Union Cabinet. Twelve Ministers of State were also added.
In this connection, it must be stated that one or two representatives of the stakes also might have sneaked into the Council of Ministers. Further, some real representatives of the people are remaining either as the Ministers of State or as Members of Parliament while a few known manipulators are functioning as Cabinet Ministers. Furthermore, one or two States have no adequate representation. Yet, anyone would agree that the present Union Cabinet is one of the most heterogeneous one
The Ministry of Petroleum has been witnessing some unfaithful joint ventures. The decision to give a joint bid along with
Further, the Ministry of Petroleum is neither ready to take back the IPCL nor ready to delegate the petroleum business to various States. Paradoxically, a Union Minister openly declared that his dealings were transparent although he was against the decentralization of corruption. Therefore, substituting him with another man must be construed as a revolutionary decision provided the new Minister is ready to part with all unfaithful decisions and policies. By the way, Tamil Nadu State lost a powerful Minister although he did not do anything substantial to Tamil Nadu during the last 20 months.
In this connection, it must be pointed out that a newspaper on 30 January, 2006 revealed that the Ministry of Petroleum had been functioning as a lubricant for party finances. Why does the paper realize the truth now? It must be noted that no former Petroleum Ministers have denied the allegation. However, the allegation should not go unnoticed. If the charge were true, any Minister for Petroleum would see a gold mine in his chair. He would get not less than Re. 1000 crore or even Re 10000 crore every year. Now, it is the onerous responsibility of the President of India, Prime Minister and the Congress leader to prove or disprove the allegation of the newspaper scientifically.
No sooner the twenty-two members were inducted into the Union Council of Ministers, than the Union Government privatized the
Immediately, the employees of the Airport Authority of India (
At the same time, the President of India spent his time very happily with children in
The Government said that what happened to the airports was nothing but modernization. The Minister for Finance also said that the Government did not privatize anything. He added that the decision enjoyed the backing of the Left parties. The Left parties told the workers that the decision would not be reversed under any circumstance. Naturally the workers were constrained to call off their strike within four days. The Prime Minister in his characteristic style did not talk anything about the matter but advised the local bodies to solve the drinking water problem. Further, he narrated the benefits of rural employment scheme and promised to attain 10 % growth rates within the next ten years. A Company went to the High Court,
The High Court,
The President of India must know the pros and cons of the so-called modernization of airports. However, it must be pointed out that the Government or private parties could do the airports, roads, railways, refineries and mining works. Both the parties avail themselves of the public funds in the banks and the
On the other hand, when the private parties do the same work, they would not only extract money from all over
Opposing the privatization policies, the people rejected the NDA Government and chose the present UPA Government. The people did their duty. If the UPA Government wanted to follow the path of the NDA Government, what would the people do? Where would the people go?
Further, the letters of this writer succeeded in dissuading the NDA Government from its dangerous course. Now, in spite of some apparent revolutionary steps, the present Government might not come out of its reckless course even if some one screamed for five years.
Everyone must note that the two airports and other PSUs are the inalienable property of the people of Kashmir, Assam and other States. If their properties were to be transferred to private parties like this or the funds in the financial institutions were to be siphoned off to private parties under one pretext or other,
On the other hand, if these States were given definite quota of shares in the airports and other PSUs, the Union Ministers from these States could ask their people whether they wanted to part with their shares or assets in the SAIL, GAIL and other PSUs in India. In other words, if the people of Assam had no shares in the Neyveli Lignite Corporation in (NLC) in Tamil Nadu State, the people of Tamil Nadu would have no right to the oil in Assam. In short, the Government is, in bad faith, preparing conditions for the withering away of
In contrast, the boys in Assam and other States –when they fight for their rights- are fighting for the UNITY of India. Ironically, those who work for the disintegration of
Obviously, the so-called modernization of the airports undermines the UNITY present in the Constitution of India. Therefore, the privatization is unconstitutional. The Government cannot but reverse the decision, if it had any respect for the Constitution of India.. Taking advantage of the suppression of the letters, the Government would resist this demand is another matter.
Is there any precedent for it? Around the year 1725, the King of Travancore became sick. The revenue of the country fell down steeply and the king was left literally without men or money. Anarchy and confusion prevailed and the chieftains began to control the country. Defying the king, they began to collect money forcefully. Then they plundered the country in all possible ways. They even removed the jewels on the ears of women.
In
The root cause for removing the jewels from the ears of Mother India is the Supreme Court. This writer sent the first eight letters to the learned judges of the Supreme Court. When this writer pointed out to the learned judges that a private company bought an important
All the letters and the facts have been duly sent to The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). But, the NHRC too is conspiring to conceal these letters. What would the people think of their service? Now, a Member of the NHRC, wants to have a body to control the lawlessness of the disloyal judges of the High Courts and the Supreme Court. His suggestion appeared in the newspapers on 4 February, 2006.
Similarly, instead of taking back the IPCL for violating the guidelines for privatization, the present Government is accepting the bids of a private company for privatization and for various works. Will not the next generation of our people consider the people manning the present system as fiends for keeping the 52 letters away from the watchful eyes of the children?
Had the President of India loved truth, the airports could have been saved. The truth is 52 letters and the facts associated with them. The President should have caused the children to peruse the letters. They might have realized that the increase in power of the manipulators could not but be pregnant with the most alarming consequences to their interests. Then the President could have regained all the lost PSUs, strengthened the Constitution of India and established order long ago.
It is true that the President has been indirectly complementing the efforts of this writer through his utterances. But, it is also true that his actions contributed to the suppression of the 52 letters. By suppressing the letters, President of India is –all right thinking people would tell- knowingly or unknowingly paving the way for the final ruin of the Constitution of India.
Is it possible to restore the Constitution to its pre-eminent position? Subhadra was an illegitimate child. She lost her mother very early in life. Her husband had deserted her. She was a victim of scandal and slander. She was misunderstood as a woman of easy virtue because of her openness and sharpness of mind. Around the year 1730, due to some intuition, she determined to prevent regicide in Travancore. C.V.Raman Pillai says that her thinking was six jumps ahead of others to save the Prince Marthanda Varma. She saved the Prince on two occasions. Though she reaped nothing but the reward of death, Marthanda Varma, the maker of the modern Travancore, ruled over the country enjoying the love and loyalty of his subjects for a long period. It is not clear whether there is any exaggeration in it or not. But, the President of India must think at least one or two jumps ahead of others to regain the lost PSUs and to save the Constitution of India.
As the Constitution of India has been once again murdered for its wealth, the facts from 16 January, 2006 to 5 February, 2006 are being sent to His Excellency the President of India on 6 February, 2006.

A SUPER BODY
On 6 February, 2006 the President of India said that he saw a bright future to Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) State. On the same day, the Defense Minister announced the withdrawal of 5000 troops from the J&K thanks to the improvement in the law and order situation in the State.

These developments and the steps taken for the privatization of airports lead to the realization that those who were capable of crippling the IA, AI and the airports outdistanced all other Members of Parliament who ran for the coveted posts in the Union Cabinet.
Further, the developments are consistent with the seventh point in the letter No.33 dated 18-6- 2004.

Presumably referring to the email sent on 6 February, 2006 the President of India on 13 February, 2006 said that one must work hard to achieve success.
The Prime Minister of India on 13 February, 2006 gave an assurance to the leader of the MDMK party that the Centre would not resort to disinvesting the shares of the Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) in Tamil Nadu. In this way, the Prime Minister of India agreed that disinvesting the shares of the NLC in the present way would not be in public interest.
On the same day, while the Prime Minister was talking with the leader of the MDMK, there were reports that Union Bank of India, a Public Sector Bank, would sell 8.91percent of its shares from 15-2-2006 onwards bringing down the shareholding of the Government of India to 55.43 percent. The employees did not shout anything against it. The political parties had no comment. The people did not murmur. The Cabinet Ministers from North, South, East, West and Centre did not demand any definite quota of shares for their own children or for their own States. In fact, none in

The court even imposed a fine for bringing the case to the Supreme Court. Earlier, in order to make one man rich, the Supreme Court cancelled the petrol pumps allotted by the Members of Parliament. Such unconstitutional policies are continuing everywhere. For instance, in order to make two or three men rich, some States ban toddy tapping jeopardizing the lives of toddy tapers. Many States indulge in bulk buying. Many works undertaken in the Build Operate and Transfer (

On the same day, the Prime Minister, exhibiting a secret sorrow, deplored that there was no group in
On 19 February, 2006, some newspapers attacked a Congress leader through some vitriolic comments. Obviously, the Congress leader is in catch- 22 situations. If a person loved Reason, the media mafias would not allow him to survive. If he loved the media mafias, the voice of Reason would torment him.
The Prime Minister on 23 February, 2006 said that shadowy organizations would not be allowed to “interfere” in the work of the elected Governments. He wanted the people to judge his Government based on its performance. The Prime Minister could proclaim this to the people because seldom people know that the Prime Minister dragged calamity upon his own head by giving Re.5000 crore from public sector banks to a private company just for making him the Prime Minister of India. His only consolation is that the Supreme Court would not interfere in this matter because the act of giving money to private company is a “policy”. However, common man could interfere because of the unconstitutional nature of the policy.
On the same day, the facts from 4 January, 2006 to 5 February, 2006 comprising 10 pages were sent by post to 10 Members of Parliament and a Minister.
The public sector TV channel on 25 February, 2006 reported that a Korean company would invest $52 million in India very soon. The common man thought that the Korean Company had left the land because of the unconstitutional adjustments of interests. The media mafia did not mention anything about the activities of this company because they stand for dispossessing the property of the people. The Supreme Court is not coming into the picture because dispossessing the property of the people is a policy.
In this connection, it must be submitted that the mineral deposits in Orissa belong to the people of Kerala. The people of Kerala had been plunging several fathoms into the sea for a very long period of time since independence for earning foreign exchange. The people of Orissa have been utilizing it for its foreign exchange needs. Now, Orissa says that it is free to hand over its mineral wealth to a foreign company! Orissa could do so only if the Steel Authority of India (SAIL) were not capable of undertaking this work. The Government of Orissa and the Union Government must comply with this because of the word UNITY present in the Constitution of India.
Now, there is no quota in the “seats or assets” for the people of Kerala. Naturally, all the labours of the people of Kerala have gone in vain. Anticipating such predicaments, there was a demand from

The former Minister for Petroleum said that he was divested of the Petroleum portfolio quite unjustly. He would like to reveal the real manipulators mainly to dispel the darkness surrounding him. But, the media mafia would not allow him to disclose his mind. Obviously, the truth about the functioning of the Petroleum Ministry would not come out easily.
In view of the new revelations, the facts from 6 February 2006 to 26 February 2006 are being sent to His Excellency the President of India today i.e. on 27 February 2006 through email.

THE REWARD
The extremist people on 27 February, 2006 killed 50 people- mostly tribal people returning from a protest march against extremism- by triggering a land mine in the Chattisgarh State. The public sector TV Channel considered this incident as a trivial matter concerning the tribal people. The other media mafias did not report it properly. In fact, there were no mourners.
The Union Budget for 2006- 2007 was presented on 28 February, 2006. The budget was out and out consistent with some points present in the 52 letters and in the associated facts. The Minister did not utter even a word about privatization. There was no word about the question of selling the shares of any Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) with or without introducing any reservation scheme. The Service Tax rate was increased from 10 per cent to 12 per cent. The ATMs were brought under the Service Tax net. Several other new services were also included in the list although it was not clear whether the Courier services were included or not. The lending rates to farmers were brought down to the maximum deposit rate of 7 percent. There was a scheme to return 2% interest collected from them. The excise duties on several items were decreased to make the products competitive. The old age pension was deepened. The mid-day meal scheme for the school children was strengthened. A novel scheme in the Budget was the decision of the Government to give Re.3000/- to every girl studying in Standard VIII in the form of five year fixed deposit. The Union Minister concluded his budget speech by quoting from
With regard to the increase in the old age pension it must be stated that the Union Government could have widened it.
The Government could have extended Transaction Tax to Saving Accounts after creating a consensus among political parties. However, bringing the ATMs under the Service Tax net had the effect of collecting a small amount as Transaction Tax from saving accounts. It was a clever decision. However, later the Minister said that it was applicable to third parties only.
There is a touch of humanity in the Re. 3000 scheme for girls. This is similar to the one introduced by a Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, in his State long ago. In the latter scheme, every girl that passed Standard VIII would get Re.10,000/- at the time of her marriage.
With regard to the above financial assistance for girls, it may be mentioned that the Union Government could have given 20 or 25 gram of gold to every girl as soon she passes Standard VIII. This is because the girls in
The Government could have given adequate importance to housing for the below- poverty- line people.
After going through the Budget speech, this writer really felt that the Government was implementing the aspirations of the common man. For a moment it appeared like a “dream budget”.
However, in the next moment it appeared that the Finance Minister did not disclose anything about the most important middle portion. This is because he did not utter a word about the question of using surplus money in the financial institutions and the PSUs for public investments. There was no word about the money in the Provident Fund and Pension Fund also. It remains as a great disappointment. In fact, it is the greatest secret of the Budget.
It may be recalled that when this writer sent his first ten suggestions to the former Prime Minister of India on 1 June, 2001, he initiated a great debate in good faith. It must be noted that no country would have debated so intensely on a - one page - ten point- letter from its citizen. After five months of very active discussion, the former Prime Minister went a few jumps ahead of this writer and announced the decision of the Government to use the surplus deposits in the banks for large-scale public investments. The Prime Minister asked the private companies to ride on the back of higher public investments. However, within days the stakes demonstrated their muscle power by overruling the decision. This act of superseding continues to remain as the greatest misfortune of Indians.
Now, the Government could remove not less than Re.three lakh crore from the public sector financial institutions as loan in this year alone. With this amount, all National Highways could be converted into four lane roads at the rate of 100 Kilometre per day. All important railway lines could be doubled. Not less than10 pollution free refineries could be started. Equal number of power plants could be made operational. All major airports could be modernized. Two or three new ports could be developed. The public sector Steel Authority of India (SAIL) could be asked to extract the iron ore that otherwise would go to others. 25 Medical Colleges could be started. Equal number of Engineering Colleges could be added. Consequently there would be a tremendous improvement in the economic activity all over
Alternatively, the Government could start 25 Construction Corporations in different States and the financial institutions could be asked to lend money to them. These Corporations could do everything the Government otherwise wants to do on BOT basis. Another method is asking the financial institutions to buy the shares of these Corporations. In this way public money could be used for public investments.
In the event of accepting these suggestions, the media mafias would construct several stories to destabilize the Government. Trivial matters would come out as big news. Dissent by village level leaders would become headline news. Naturally, a few coalition partners would part with the UPA Government citing some other reasons. The stability of the Government might become a question mark. Though the system has sufficient internal energy to overcome it, nothing could be predicted. This might be considered as the adverse side effect of the above policy.
In contrast, if the deposits were handed over to private parties either as loan or in the name buying their shares, they would construct gigantic refineries, ports, airports, highways and super ways. Everything in
Thus the crucial question before the Union Cabinet is whether the Government must utilize the public deposits in the financial institutions for public investments or private investments. However, if they wanted to hand over the deposits in the financial institutions to a few individuals as at present, the Union Cabinet could consider whether there must be a ceiling- consistent with the Constitution of India- for the amount that could be withdrawn from the financial institutions by different companies. They could also determine whether the loan must be equitably disbursed all over
Further, with regard to the Budget, it must be stated that the Government was silent about the policy of bulk buying. Furthermore, there is a growing tendency to award contract works to one or two individuals or companies reducing the local contractors into mere slaves. The Government could have hinted a remedy for it also. He could have opened his mind about the question of transferring the BSNL,
The Government would never say that these were abstract and pompous ideas. Many countries struggle to cope with the present day problems because of lack of ideas. In
In this connection, it must be reiterated that the suggestion of this man to impose Service Tax in 2001 and his persistent demand to impose Transaction Tax - partly to relieve the employees from the unbearable Income Tax burden and partly to increase the revenue- rescued
Further, if the contributions of a man promote peace, is it not the demand of democracy to recognize it? It is the demand of democracy that the President and the Prime Minister must share the good knowledge available to them by virtue of their position with the people. Then only the people will be able to judge whether their representatives “endeavoured to widen their scope of knowledge in the light of the needs of their country and the perpetual good of their loving subjects”. In the words of the President of India, the leaders should work for the creation of a “knowledge society”. But, the President and the Prime Minister now vie with each other to wrap the knowledge before them. This is not to belittle the service they have done so far at all. This is only to complement their service. Viewed in this context, the so-called Freedom of Information Act seeks to deny even this bare knowledge to the people.

JUDGING THE JUDGES
A private Company was listed in the Mumbay Stock Exchange on 6 March, 2006. The promoter rang the ceremonial bell at 9.54 A.M. Instantaneously, one crore shares of the company were sold. About Re.11250 to Re.13500 crore were collected. This gave the impression that the Indians were floating over an ocean of money. The media mafia did not say with which money the people bought the shares or from where the money came from. Whose money is this? Common man believes that the money would not have reached Mumbai without the help of the Union Government or someone in
On 8 March, 2006 a political leader said that the Government would become bankrupt very soon. He disclosed that the primary market purchases in 2004 were Re.35,859 crore and they fell to Re. 30,391 crore in 2005. His statement gave the impression that the people would not have purchased the entire shares of the above company. On the same day, there was a report that the Life Insurance Corporation of India (
When the financial institutions buy the shares of companies, how will the people buy the shares? Does the system expect the people to compete with the financial institutions? When the present Prime Minister dares to give Re.10000 crore to a boy, will not another man get ready to give Re. 100,000 crore to his brother? Again, when a boy gets Re.10000 crore from the Prime Minister of India, will not the recipient trigger a crash to the Stock Market to buy back his shares and the shares of all others? The present outgo of public money into the pocket of some individuals shows that the discomfiture of the Prime Minister of India in the Re.5000 crore episode quieted him for a time only. In fact, none in
The Government would say that the system is acting in good faith to save the private companies. The Government would even say that it is not a denial but an assertion of democracy that Government is being blessed with the powers to give Re.thousands of crore to some companies or individuals. Alternatively, the Government would say that the Union Cabinet is taking all the decisions. But the system should not tell the people that a few big companies are entitled to special treatment in
If the decision to buy the shares of the above Company were taken by the Union Cabinet after due debate, it would go down as an unconstitutional breach of trust. However, if the money had been released due to the influence of the Prime Minister of India, even the children in
The Prime Minister of India recently said that the longevity of the Union Government is a function of the ability of the Prime Minister to rule
Therefore, one must rule India honestly without any cause for the people to regret. This is the important criterion. None shall think that the former Prime Minister of India made it possible for the present Prime Minister to enjoy power because of his weakness. Instead, it was his strength that he loved reason. It was his strong point that he did not want to be a party to the ever-increasing manipulations. It was his power that he did not want to add more and more dark pages to the history of
The tendency to ignore the work of others is fast becoming the trait of Indians. Hundreds of so-called “Peer Teams” are functioning in
The suggestion to restrain the financial institutions from investing in shares was given to the former Prime Minister of India as early as on
It appears that the manipulations are going on with the collaboration of the Central Bureau of Investigation (
Therefore, the Prime Minister must put an end to the long tale of manipulations that are being committed by the lawless band of conspirators, who have been molesting the land for the last three decades through the aid of the stock exchange, media mafias and chosen men in the Government, bureaucracy and judiciary. It is the duty of the Prime Minister to recover the money given to the private parties in the name of buying the shares without wasting time. The system must also take back all illegally privatized PSUs. It is the right of the people. All financial institutions excluding the Unit Trust of India (
On 7 March, 2007 bomb blast killed 20 people at Sankat Mochan temple in Varanasi. The Parliament condemned the heinous act and observed one-minute silence.

The Chairman of the public sector State Bank of India (SBI) on 10 March, 2006 said that his bank would buy a loss-making bank in Bangladesh. He, further, said that his bank would raise about Re. 3000 - 4000 crore through public issue in the next year for expansion in overseas market. In this connection, it must be noted that if the SBI were in need of money for buying banks abroad, it could sell the shares of the private companies it is holding. Instead, the SBI is buying the shares of a private company, say “x”, with one hand and is selling its own shares to “x” with the other hand. As the people fail to understand the economics behind it, they consider this as manipulation and arbitrage trading. The Prime Minister could explain the economics behind it but he would not. The President of India also could issue a clarification but he too is not likely to do anything.
A Union Minister, in the meantime, said that there were surplus funds at the disposal of the Government due to increased tax collections.
A conference of the Chief Ministers and Chief Justices were held in Delhi on 11 March, 2006.In his keynote address, the Chief Justice of India said that the witness turning hostile was nothing new.

Inaugurating the above conference, the Prime Minister of India said that the witnesses turning hostile or changing their evidence was causing concern to ever increasing sections of society. He, further, said that corruption had surfaced in the judiciary. He wanted the judiciary to tackle it.

THE UNITY
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs met on 16 March, 2006 presumably to discuss the email sent to his Excellency the President of India on the previous day. It appeared that the Government decided to take some actions to curtail financial manipulations. After the meeting, a Union Minister appeared on the TV and said that the Government would start 11 Medical Colleges in various States. The newspapers reported that the Government would revive the 20-point programme of
A private company on 16 March, 2006 disclosed that its Master Gain scheme had mopped up Re 5,700 crore and would invest the funds in 100 Indian companies.
In this connection, it must be stated that the collection of Re. 5700 crore immediately after the collection of over Re. 10,000 crore from the public sector banks was an unexpected annexation of public money by a private company.
How did this money go to Mumbai? The people believe that this money would not have gone to Mumbai without the help of the Prime Minister or the Union Government. However, the fresh outbreak of manipulations indicates that a “Super Cabinet” that worked during the period of the NDA Government is very active even now.
It is pertinent to recall that when the first letter dated
At that time, the media brigands also quite unwittingly disclosed certain truths about themselves. Thus on 1 August, 2001 a newspaper said that the
Anyone could note that though the
Now the private company and some other mutual funds with unlimited money at their disposal would trigger a crash to the stock market to buy the shares at lower prices. They would then identify companies with floating stocks and maintain large concentrated trading positions in select shares. The media mafias would come out with editorials and articles to create an impression of market interests in these shares. While increasing or maintaining prices of select shares, they would offload them selectively to book huge profits and take further positions to increase the profits. Under the pressure from
The effect of such resonance and synergy cannot be simply envisaged. The money would be diverted to many other fields including real estate with devastating effects. The profits would disappear into foreign countries. Another part would be used to deny democracy to Indians as at present. Some amount would reappear as Foreign Institutional Investors (
A newspaper on 11 May, 2002 said that the turnover of a private company came merely by trading in the shares of its own companies and selling them to other group companies at artificially high prices. Thus the shares were bought for Re.10/- and sold for Re.300/- There are several ingenious ways to defeat all regulations. For instance, a boy manipulated the stock exchange with borrowed money. Now another boy has removed Re.16000 crore! This is more than the annual revenue of many States in India. What all a boy could do in
Usually, an employee receiving Re.1000/- as bribe or removing Re.1000/- from the bank is dismissed from service. Anyone caught in a small theft or malpractice cannot survive in
The Prime Minister would say that he enabled a boy and a few others to collect money like this only in public interest. He would say that the Government should not stand in their entire path. The Prime Minister would say that the said company would have collapsed on its own but for this help. He would even say that he is ensuring stability to his Government by paying tributes like this. But, everyone must note that even in the
It must be noted that a present Union Minister moved an adjournment motion in the Parliament on 1 August, 2001 opposing similar manipulations of the NDA Government. When the motion was negated, he created utter chaos in Parliament. Many Members of Parliament supported his stand and said that the corporate houses were exercising awesome powers on the Government. The Finance Minister and the Prime Minister were not allowed to talk. From the way in which he led others in the Parliament, the people believed that he would save the nation from the clutches of the conspirators. Now, the former Prime Minister of India sits in a backbench in the Parliament knowing fully the manipulations going on before him. It is incredible that the above Union Minister has allowed a boy to collect about Re. 16000 crore, sweeping from one end to the other end of
Anyone would tell that the words of the Members of Parliament in this matter were very harsh. Is it right on the part of the successive Presidents of India to forget the words of the Members of Parliament? Now, the Indian TV and the other media mafias are not publishing the views of the Members of Parliament because of the knowledge that the people are watching them. Therefore, it is imperative that the banks must be strictly prohibited from buying shares and advancing money to buy shares. This gambling and arbitrage trading are out and out unconstitutional. The money removed from the banks must be recovered immediately. Further, the floating shares of all Public Sector Undertakings should be reserved among various States to give investment opportunities to the people of various States.
At present - consistent with the suggestion of this writer- everyone must pay Service Tax to the

The Prime Minister of Russia,
The Union Finance Minister disclosed that Re.16,853 crore worth of non-performing assets of public sector banks had been written off in three years from 2002 to 2005.
The Union Government on 17 March, 2006 cleared nearly 150 Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
The newspapers on 17 March, 2006 reported that an Indian company had signed an agreement to acquire Belgium-based Hansen Transmissions International for $565 million.
In the meantime, the opposition parties alleged that there was huge commission in the multi billion-dollar Scorpene submarine deal with
A newspaper on 20 March, 2006 said through its centre page article that the Union Government had set aside the disinvestments in Public Sector Undertakings. Though the paper attributed it to the Left parties, anyone could discern that it was the repercussion of the email sent to His Excellency the President of India on 15 February, 2006.
The Prime Minister of Bangladesh,
In the meantime, the media mafias –in order to keep a Congress leader in the eye of the people- wanted the resignation of that leader from Parliament saying that the leader was holding some offices of profit. A few days earlier the Election Commission had disqualified a Member of Parliament with retrospective effect from July, 2004 for holding an office of profit. The action was based on a petition submitted by a person from the U.P State to the President of India. The media mafias said that the petitioner belonged to the Congress party. On 23 March, 2006 the Congress leader resigned from the Parliament and later returned after contesting an election.
Thus the Members of the Parliament are quitting the Parliament one after another either because they are being disqualified or on their own based on some trivial matters. However, the mind that refuses to restore constitutionalism in
A Supreme Court Bench on 24 March, 2006 referred to a Constitution Bench a public interest petition challenging the induction of some charge-sheeted persons in the Union Council of Ministers. The Bench said that the court was considering the matter in the context of good governance, purity of the system, equality and public perception, both internally and internationally.
In this connection, it must be noted that the Supreme Court has been discouraging public interest litigations depicting them as political interest litigation or publicity interest litigation. Further, it is well known that an
Chief Justice enabled a private company to distribute 5000 petrol pumps just by canceling the petrol pumps granted by the Members of Parliament. The Chief Justice has every right to annul his judgement if the consequences of his judgement were bad. This recently happened in High Court,
Chief Justice knew that an individual bought a valuable
It was pointed out to His Excellency the President of India that the economic policy of the Government shall not be against the Constitution of India. The Chief Justice is not ready to give heed to it.
There are charge- sheeted Ministers in the Union Cabinet. Therefore, the Chief Justice, apparently, wants to destabilize the present Government.
A former Chief Justice of India and the present Chief Justice are talking in a similar tone. Apparently, they want to do more harm than good to the Constitution of India by preventing the charge- sheeted Ministers from doing their duty.
The present Chief Justice of India was instrumental in destabilizing the UF Government. At that time the court and the
It must be noted that the HPCL and the BPCL were saved from the clutches of the Supreme Court because the President of India prevented the then Chief Justice of India from hearing the HPCL/BPCL appeal case based on the letters of this writer. Similarly, in the absence of a reasonable guideline to constitute a Bench, all judges who concurred with the majority opinion in the BALCO case, Minority Institution case, Self Finance Institutions Admission case and the judges who gave dissenting views in the BPCL/HPCL case and Tamil Nadu Employees Dismissal case must be prevented from hearing this case. This is to prevent miscarriage of justice. This is to save the Constitution of India because people fear that there exists a group of powerful stubborn judges to subvert the Constitution of India.
The immediate motive behind constituting the present Bench, apparently, is to enable a boy to enjoy about Re. 16000 crore realized from the banks and the public. They want to divert the attention of the Council of Ministers, Members of Parliament and the people from the dominant theme plaguing the nation. Another important cause is that the Union Cabinet that met on 16 March, 2006 might have decided to bar the banks from buying shares or advancing money to buy shares. This is only a hypothesis. The stakes might have been upset with that decision or similar decisions. Now, the stakes want to accomplish their objective with the help of the Supreme Court, Election Commission, media mafia and the
Coming back, 13 villagers were killed when the militants triggered a landmine in the Chhattisgarh state on 25 March, 2006.

THE DISCOVERY OF
Apparently, His Excellency the President of India transmitted the email sent to him on 25 March, 2006 to the Election Commission on the next day itself. All the three members of the Election Commission were in a state of shock and they stopped giving any interview to the media mafia regarding the disqualification matter.
The President of India might have transmitted the email to the learned judges of the Supreme Court and the High Courts also. This is perhaps the reason why the Constitution Bench to destabilize the present Government in the name of charge- sheeted persons has not so far been constituted. If it were true, it would go down as a small wonder.
A Supreme Court Bench taking a decision to constitute a Bench in bad faith and a citizen of
The Congress President on 27 March, 2006 declared in a meeting in her Parliamentary constituency that she was committed to fight against all ills prevailing in India. She added that every stone was directed against her.
The nationalized banks on 28 March, 2006 reported to the Reserve Bank of India that deposit mobilization was lagging behind due to stiff competition from mutual fund industry in resource mobilization. Obviously, it was the repercussion of giving about Re. 30000 crore to a few companies and mutual funds. In fact, the Re.16000 crore given to a boy will be devastating in all directions. There is no mechanism to monitor the whereabouts of the money. This money would not allow anyone to live in
As if it were not sufficient newspapers on 30 March, 2006 condemned that India had excess foreign exchange reserve to the tune of 15 percent of the
In this connection, it must be noted that the media mafia did not compare the foreign exchange reserve of India with that of China.
The averments of the media mafia are consistent with the prediction that the stakes were keeping an eye on the foreign exchange. Unless otherwise protected, the foreign exchange reserves would vanish into thin air very soon. The Government would, in bad faith, ask the financial institutions to buy the shares of the manipulators. The manipulators would convert the money into foreign exchange, all to the detriment of 1000 million people.
It is pertinent to note that this writer had submitted to the Government to withdraw all taxes including the Sale Tax over petroleum products so long as the foreign exchange reserve remains over, say, $100 billion. This would make Indian products competitive. The Government has withdrawn the taxes considerably due to the intervention of His Excellency the President of India based on 52 letters. However, there exists some tax components even now. There was a suggestion to freeze the prices of petroleum products also. The only condition is that the prices of petroleum products in

On 1 April, 2006 the Prime Minister went to Assam to canvass support for the Congress Party. Exhibiting a secret joy, the Prime Minister said that the Congress Party would eradicate poverty and illiteracy from
The New Indian Express on 3 April published an article titled “MEDIA IS NO MONSTER”
On 3 April, 2006 the Indian TV channels reported superficially that a private company of another boy would sell its shares to the financial institutions from
In this connection, it must be noted that the present Government wanted to release money into the stock market as soon as assuming power. However, not withstanding the letters from this writer, the Prime Minister released money into the stock market and fell into a bottomless pit. Now, the Prime Minister is repeating the same mistake, in bad faith, as if his actions were perfectly legal. Thus he had no compunction to give about Rs. 16000 crore to a boy without even ascertaining the real purpose of behind collecting such a huge amount. Repetition of such mistakes would be treason against 1000 million people.
On 3 April, 2006 the employees of the State Bank of India (SBI) started an indefinite strike demanding retirement benefits on par with Government employees. A newspaper on the next day predicted that a win for the employees would affect the prime position of the bank in
It appeared that the employees were doing a service to the nation because their action might ensure security of service and stability to the employees. It must be noted that a simple extension of the transaction tax to small saving accounts would solve the demands of the employees. In fact, a fraction of this amount would be sufficient to meet their demands.
The Government on 4 April, 2006 handed over the Delhi and Mumbai airports to two strange looking private consortium led by GMR-Fraport and GVK South African airports. As per the agreement, the Airport Authority of India (
In this connection, the common man cannot mistrust the Union Ministers from the North, South, East, West, Centre and the Congress leaders. There is no reason to believe that these representatives of the people would not have loved REASON. There must be some valid reasons behind the decision. They might have acted in good faith. However, those who stand away from the scene of action would think that the Union Government divested the people of
The only consolation is that the Union Ministers are not giving any company to the Prime Minister of India. This is an unprecedented development. This indicates that the Union Ministers do not repose their faith in the Prime Minister of India. Even in the Parliament, the Prime Minister of India sits in an isolated place like a forlorn man forsaken by all others.
The newspapers on 4 April, 2006 said that $10 billion private investments were needed in the energy sector in the next five-six years. The message was that the Union Government must grant licenses to the private parties to operate nuclear power plants. Naturally, the financial institutions must empty their money to buy their shares. Thus the public money would be converted into private assets as a natural consequence of governance.
A newspaper on 6 April, 2006 said “Judges rule on the basis of law, not on the basis of public opinion”. The paper quoted this from a Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. This is their answer to the lawlessness of the disloyal judges present in the Supreme Court. The paper in its editorial added that the appointment of judges based on the caste composition would damage the so-called independence of the judiciary.
Now, the media mafia criticized the thinking of the Union Government to extend 27 percent reservation to Other Backward Classes to the IITs and IIMs.
The Congress leader on 6 April, 2006 said that the Government of Assam had no money even for payment of salary to the employees during 2001 and that the Congress Government had changed that condition. She added that with the cooperation of the people, the Congress Party would see steady development in Assam.
On the same day, the Indian TV reported a statement of a former Minister for External Affairs before the Enquiry Commission probing the Volker Committee Report. The commission had clearly asked the media to desist from reporting anything regarding the enquiry. The media has been also blacking out all proceedings of the Commission quite meticulously.
It is disturbing to note that whenever the media mafia criticized the Congress leaders, the manipulators succeeded in plundering public assets. Thus the media mafia criticized a Congress leader during the Volker controversy. Everyone thought that the Congress would retaliate by restoring constitutionalism in
The peril of today is reminiscent of the situation that prevailed in the

Upholding the judgements of the High Court, Delhi a Supreme Court Bench on 7 April, 2006 said that the Other Backward Class (OBC) candidates selected against open quota should not be counted against the quota reserved for the OBCs in Class I services and others. This indicated the weakening of the forces representing the Chief Justice of India in the Supreme Court.
The Prime Minister –the Protector of India- today distributed Excellence in Media Awards to 16 journalists. Though no awards were distributed for concealing the 52 letters and the associated facts, the awards seeks to establish that the 52 letters do not exist in
In this connection, the Prime Minister knew that the absence of economic freedom means absence of democracy. Today, a citizen of India must pay Res.30 lakh to private parties to get a petrol pump. Yet, the Prime Minister protects the private parties. It is nothing but denial of economic freedom. The Prime Minister knew that the media mafia is concealing these letters. Yet he wanted the media to be truthful.
Further, the life of a man is all a question of discovering his own mind. Many people might have said it. But it is the view of this writer also. Viewed through this angle, this writer has the immense satisfaction of discovering his own mind by writing 52 letters. Even His Excellency the President of India would agree privately that the History of India since

THE DARKEST PAGE
A Chief Minister’s Conference of the militancy affected 13 States was held in Delhi on 13 April, 2006. Addressing the meeting, the Prime Minister said that militancy must be tackled through effective policing and socio-economic changes. The Indian TV did not show the faces of the Chief Ministers who participated in the meeting. Their views on militancy were also not published.
On 14 April, 2006 some newspapers disclosed that the Government granted permission to the Department of Posts to invest about Re. 10000 crore into the stock markets for better returns. It was an unconstitutional decision. But, there was no further news on this matter.
Some newspapers on 14 April, 2006 reported that the Government of Orissa decided to cancel the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with five different private sector companies, which planned to set up steel plants in the State. The reason cited was that there had been no progress on the projects. The names of the various companies were not mentioned.
The Congress leader in an election meeting in Kerala said that the Congress party alone would run the country based on consensus avoiding confrontation.
The Initial Public Offer (IPO) of a private petroleum company was subscribed by 51.47 times. 1.9 million people paid this amount. The quota for qualified institutional buyers was subscribed 68.2 times. The company said that the money exacted would be utilized for the construction of a Re. 27,000 crore refinery in
The oversubscription to the IPO clearly shows that the Government need not have directed the financial institutions to join the crowd to buy the shares of the company. By allowing the company to exact a ransom of over Re.27000 crore from the financial institutions, the Union Cabinet again levied tribute from the people of India. The President of India, apparently, does not know the reason for directing the financial institutions to buy the shares of the company or the modus operandi of releasing the money.
Obviously, the above company would not deposit the money in the banks and use it for the construction of the refinery. Instead, the money would be diverted in all possible directions. In this connection, the Government would say that the private companies must have sufficient freedom to extract money from all over
It may be recalled that a Steel Company at Vijayanagar in Andra Pradesh State collected Re. 26,000 crore through a public issue when the present Prime Minister was functioning as the Finance Minister of India. Within a year its share price came down to less than Rs.2/-. The investors threw away the shares in disgust. What happened to the extracted money is not known to anyone till today. Similarly, during that time, several small investors invested their money in the IPOs of several new companies. Some sold their landed properties to buy the shares. Later, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) de-listed almost all companies for strange reasons. The shares of such companies could be still seen in the houses of some investors. The people endured all the pains. However, the President of India has a duty to take some remedial measures after verifying the veracity of such pieces of information. The President of India has a duty to show to the world that the large mass of data before him is being utilized for the benefit of the 1000 million people.
Incidentally some newspapers criticized the Congress leader on 26 April, 2006. This time they forgot all about the Volker issue. Instead, it was a repetition of the old story namely the residential house of the Congress leader. This is consistent with the hypothesis that there exists a direct relation between the criticism constructed against the Congress leader and the money exacted from financial institutions.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (
Some newspapers on 26 April 2006 reported that a brother of a present Union Minister asked an industrialist to hand over 33 percent shares of one of his companies to his brother. The papers added that the Prime Minister of India had to intrigue for the benefit of the industrialist for a license pending before the above Minister. Further, the papers quite unwittingly, disclosed that the same brother could extract Re.800 crore from the stock market simply by selling 10% of the shares of his Television Company to the financial institutions using the clout of the Union Minister.
Obviously, the message was that the Prime Minister could protect the interests of the industrialist because he was not related to him. But the Union Minister shall not do the same for his brother. Thus a boy from Mumbai could get a license to distribute 5000 petrol pumps but a boy from Chennai shall not get a license to distribute 50 petrol pumps! Two boys from Mumbai could extract Re.43000 crore but a boy from Chennai shall not extract 800 crore! Similarly, the children should see cricket to cinema and drama in the Indian TV and not the person who contributed so must to the economy, politics and peace. This is the crux of the problem. The political leaders know this but they are helpless!
In this connection, it must be pointed out that a then Union Minister, on
Further, it is very important to note that about eight powerful houses in
A newspaper on 30 April, 2006 said that the teachers were not aware of the code of conduct expected of them. The paper deplored that the teachers were “taking pride in defying the system or at best ridiculing, mocking and trivializing any form of disciplined behaviour.” The paper cautioned that liberal humanist thinking was different from anarchy or chaos. The paper added that the media should not hesitate-at least partially- to own the damage that had done.
Obviously, the newspaper is indirectly referring to the 52 letters before the President of India.
In this connection, it must be stated that this writer did not write the letters without cause.

The manipulations that took place during the period from 1991-1996 started affecting the nation like anything. The people were falling into a debt trap. The economic activity was declining. The revenues were decreasing. The salaries were pending. The growth rate was plummeting to 2.7 percent. All the right thinking people were in the lowest state of depression as the nation was plunging into a fiscal crisis. There was a strong feeling that the Government was tending to act in bad faith. The media mafia was instigating the idle mass to overtake the working class just to usurp the PSUs. Simply remaining as a silent spectator appeared as crime. Therefore this writer decided to take the pen on 1 June, 2001 to do the present work in a systematic way.

As great responsibility rests upon the Members of Parliament, the copies of the emails sent to His Excellency the President of India were periodically sent to them in a random way. The copies of the letters were also sent to various Chief Ministers and important political leaders.
After the advent of the present UPA Government, importance was given to Transaction Tax and the new Government obliged. At the same time, mainly citing the inaction of the Government to restore order, many plans of the conspirators were frustrated. Thus the idea of the stakes to amalgamate the banks was discouraged. The unconstitutional joint ventures with some private parties were also thwarted. Above all, the letters gave an impetus to peace talks. Recently, the Supreme Court could be pre-empted from constituting a Bench to determine the constitutionality of charge-sheeted persons contesting in elections.
The Prime Minister has no hesitation to take the credit for all these developments. But, it is disheartening to note that the pains continue to exist even now. When

Recently, two airports were handed over to private parties citing Olympic Games. This is a new reason hitherto unknown to Indians.
All these decisions are out and out unconstitutional. Yet, the Government is not reconsidering such crucial matters to restore order.
As if such sorrows were not sufficient, the Government is levying tribute from the people in a scale unheard of even during 1991-1996. Thus, the total subscription for a private company was Rs. 1.4 lakh crore! Now, anyone would tell that the Government has fallen into the clutches of a corrupt and rapacious crowd. It is nothing but modern day plunder. Obviously, “The greatest evil is being resorted to as a good”. The Constitution does not permit anyone to extract more money than a certain maximum from the public. This must be the darkest page in the history of modern

Prince Bala Rama Varma (1798-1810) became the King of Travancore at the early age of sixteen. Extreme youth and inexperience was his worst enemy. The Prince was forced to commit several mistakes. His advisors simply maligned him. His period was known for the corruption and rapacity of public servants. The disloyalty of ministers was also at its zenith. With his death
“No description can produce an adequate impression of corruption and abuses of the system, full of activity and energy in everything mischievous, oppressive and infamous, but slow and dilatory to effect any purpose of humanity, mercy and justice. This body of public officers, united with each other on fixed principle of combination and natural support, resented a complaint against one of their number, as an attack upon the whole. Their pay was very small, and never issued from the treasury, but supplied from several authorized exactions made by themselves. They offered, on receiving their appointment, large nuzzers to the Rajah, and had afterwards to make presents, on days of public solemnity, that exceeded half of their pay. They realized, in the course of two or three years, large sums of money and were generally subjected to complete confiscation of their property for the benefit of the State. The Raja, therefore, imposed no restraint on their rapacity, aware that their plunder would be transferred to his own treasury. Nor does it appear that this consideration had any effect in checking their extortions; they calculated upon being able to conceal their property during their lives, and felt little concern as to the mode of its disposal after their death. On the part of the people, complaint was useless, redress hopeless; they had only one remedy, that was bribery. This practice was universal, and it was one of the melancholy circumstances in the situation of the people, that one of the greatest evils was necessarily resorted to as a good, to mitigate the still more intolerable grievances of injustice and oppression. Innocence was protected, justice obtained and right secured by bribes. There was still more efficacious means of injury, and their universal use produced an extraordinary spirit of avarice in the country; for every man endeavoured to have a secret hoard of money, as the best protection of his liberty, property and life”.

However, if any steps were taken to contain militancy or modern day plunder the media mafias would say that such steps would create chaos. A remedy must be found for this.

The reason for the attempt made by the previous NDA Government to destroy the SAIL could be discerned. The former Prime Minister did not succumb to the pressure is a different matter.

REFRACTORY MARAUDER
The Union Minister for Company Affairs on 5 May, 2006 said the money collected through public issues would not be diverted to other purposes. One must presume this as a reply to the email sent to His Excellency the President of India on 4 May, 2006.
In this connection it must be pointed out that an advocate filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the High Court, Delhi alleging that a private company, “x”, had diverted –in violation of law- Re. 945 crore extended to it by the Unit Trust of India (
The Central Bureau of Investigation,
Now there were reports that the real estate companies would collect about Re. 20,000 crore through the stock market within six months. The public sector financial institutions would hand over about Re.13,000 crore to a company, “y” and about 2,000 crore to another company. Many others, according to the reports, would be given Re. 300 to 500 crore. Even if the Government did not give the money from the banks, the people would subscribe to it because real estate business is one of the most lucrative businesses in India.
The common man in
This writer requested the NDA Government to restrain the financial institutions from advancing money into the stock market through his first letter on
When
The recent revelations regarding the manipulations of the financial institutions and the stock market are a proof for the unconstitutional rule of the present Government. According to the business dailies, the public own very small portion – in fact, a namesake portion- of the shares of the private companies. The reports contradict the propaganda of the manipulators that a large number of people have been buying the shares of the companies. It is clear that even if the public had bought the shares, the private companies would buy back the shares after causing the share prices to fall. Thus, if the VSNL wanted to buy back the shares, its share prices would remain stagnant for three years or the prices would tend to fall. On the other hand, if it wanted to sell its shares, its share prices would double within six months.
Obviously, 1000 million people own less than 5% shares of the private companies. Who is holding the shares of the private companies? The promoters and the public sector financial institutions are holding the shares of the private companies. Is there any relation between the share prices and their net asset value? No. There is no relationship between the share prices and the net asset value. Who is directing the public sector financial institutions to buy the shares? Apparently, the Prime Minister of India is doing this work. What is the usual amount released to buy the shares? Apparently, Rs.1000 crore to Rs.100,000 crore to buy the shares of every company. Does the Government buy the shares of all companies? No. The Government buys the shares depending upon the clout of the companies in the Union Government. Does the money go to all regions and States? No, the money does not go to all regions and States. Is it not an arbitrary decision? Yes, it is an arbitrary decision. Whose money is this? This is nothing but public money. What do the private companies do with the money? They use the money to deny democracy to 1000 million people. Besides, they use it to buy assets abroad. Some companies use it for real estate business. Some use it to hoard gold. A small portion goes for the erection of refineries or power plants. In fact, the people do not know many of their ways. What will the people of
Another expected revelation was that the people owned less than 5% shares of the Public Sector Undertakings including the ONGC, IOC, NALCO and SBI. To whom did the Government sell the shares? The Government sold the shares to private companies and to a few financial institutions. Thus, while the private companies sold a portion of their shares to the Government at exorbitant price, the Government sold its own shares to the private companies at throw away price. The Government did it in the name of selling the shares to the public. This is the proof for the theory of this writer that the Government is indulging in unconstitutional arbitrage trading.
On 9 May, 2006 the media mafias reported that an individual running an air service company would come out with an Initial Public Offer (IPO) on 18 May, 2006 to extract Re.4.3 billion selling 24.55 million shares at a price band of Rs.150 –175 rupees a share. This company started operation in 2003. The company said that the money collected through the IPO would be used for debt repayment and infrastructure development.
Evidently, the first step is getting a license with the help of one or two Ministers in the Union Cabinet. The second step is buying some planes using ill-gotten money or bank money. The third stage is extracting money from the financial institutions in the name of the IPO. A company which has a net worth of about Rs. 1,000 crore would succeed in collecting Re. 10,000 crore merely buy selling 10 % of its shares. This is nothing but day light robbery. They rob this with the help of the Union Government. This is not the way to make the people rich. But this is modern day plunder. This is not the meaning of privatization at all. But this is modern day corruption. This is not earning money through industry. But it is trickery. It is not like buying trucks or planes using bank loan and getting a profit. But it is dividing the assets of the nation among some Union Ministers and some private parties. Tomorrow another company could collect Re.10,000 crore by selling 10% shares of the IPCL, which had been privatized for about Re. 1200 crore just four years ago. Still another company could extract another Re. 10,000 crore by selling 10% shares of the VSNL. The strange looking new company that bought the
The decision of the Government to give money to a private Air Service Company in the name of buying its share too is an unconstitutional one. The Government has taken this decision keeping the people in utter darkness. Therefore, the Government is becoming very refractory just to plunder public wealth.
It is pertinent to recall that when the King of Travancore became sick during 1726-1729, the people of eight houses and the petty chieftains became so refractory that they came with armed marauders to plunder the people wholesale. They did not spare even the jewels on the necks of women. As a result, the people of Nanjanad –the southern region of Travancore- in a body fled to the adjoining hills on more than two occasions, complaining bitterly to the king of his effeteness and their own helplessness.
Now, there is no use in complaining the plight of the people to the Supreme Court because it might not take the letter from a common man seriously. Apparently, the President of India has also lost his power. In fact, it appears that the President has very limited and precarious authority over the Government in the matter of unconstitutional IPOs. If it were true and if the Union Government were to commit modern day plunder like this, all right thinking people will have to flee to the jungles leaving the Government in hands of a few marauding men in the Union Cabinet.
The Union Government has given more than Re.60,000 crore to a few companies in the name of buying their shares since April 2006. The money would deny democracy for ever. None would have imagined that things could go wrong so frightfully. In fact, all the dreams of the people are crashing!
The Union Government has no right to hand over money like this. It is public money. A few boys are keeping it. The money must be immediately recovered. It may be a cry in the wilderness. But the redress of this grievance shall not be hopeless before the President. In fact, he should not have taken so long to restore order in

The militant people on 15 May, 2006 slit the throat of four persons after abducting them in the Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) State.
Now, the medical students of
The intensity of the anti reservation agitation was due to the firm conviction of the students that their mark in the entrance examination is an index of their ability. The Indian TV channels did not take any effort to convince the students that a first rank holder in Standard X examination need not get the same rank in his Standard XII examination and that the mark sheet in the entrance examination alone cannot be the sole criterion for judging the ability of students. Further, the students get education out of public funds and that the people of one region or State need not subsidize the education of the students of other regions. Furthermore, Indian TV channels did not explain the plight of the OBC students in
In reporting the facts also, the Indian mass media was biased in favour of the anti reservation agitations. In general, the mass media gave more coverage to anti reservation agitations than to pro- reservation activities. For instance, on 16 May, 2006 the students of backward communities took out processions in support of the proposed reservation. The mass media on 16 May, 2006 blacked out this agitation. On the next day, the public sector TV channel showed the pro-reservation procession for a fraction of a second. This is consistent with the hypothesis that the mass media including the public sector TV channel is under the total control of the conspirators and manipulators.
The Government said that 27% reservation for the OBCs would be implemented with effect from 2007. Government did not choose to justify the decision with convincing reasons. A Member of Parliament requested the Government to give the proportion of the OBC students coming out of the IITs. The Minister simply evaded the question.
It may be recalled that it was the Congress Government (1991-1996) that extended the 27% reservation for the OBCs for the jobs in the
On 15 May, 2006 the Bombay Stock Exchange Sensitive Index called BSE Sensex shed about 450 points. It shed another 400 points on the next day. But, on 17 May, 2006 the financial institutions intervened and as a result it gained about 350 points. On the next day the BSE Sensex fell by 826 points, the steepest ever fall on a single day trading. Then the share prices moved like a drunkard. On 22 May, 2006 the BSE Sensex fell by another 1111 points and on the next day it recovered by about 350 points. Those interested in buying shares say that the Sensex must come down to 4000 points. However, the media mafias raised a hue and cry. The newspapers warned that the new policies of the Government should not erode the economic progress of the preceding fifteen years. The paper acknowledged that the Prime Minister enjoyed great respect in
It is the trait of the Indian financial institutions to intervene in the stock market. During the period from 1991- 1996 the Congress Government gave the entire money in the financial institutions to the manipulators in Mumbai - in the name of intervening in the stock market-by buying shares. The manipulators, even while removing the money from the banks, pretended that they were opposed to the then Prime Minister of
During the period of the UF Government, the manipulations continued unabated. But the manipulators had no rapport with the then Prime Minister of
The NDA Government led by the BJP also lavished public funds into the stock market. But, after the first letter addressed to the then Prime Minister on 1 June, 2006, he directed the banks to reserve 5% credit to the brokers. The habit of subscribing to the new IPOs was also apparently controlled. Naturally, the Mumbai sensitive index hovered around 3000 points for over four years. The direct consequence of this was the degree of manipulations decreased and the nation began to prosper. The manipulators did not raise any hue and cry over this but politely asked the Prime Minister to quit office. The Prime Minister obliged and decided to advance the election. This is one of the reasons why the conspirators chose a former Governor of the Reserve Bank of
Now, anyone would tell that the act of intervening in the stock market is nothing but the devilish plan of the Government to hand over public money in the hands of some boys. It is nothing but inhuman slaughter. Government is making and unmaking conventions and invoking principles - without the knowledge of the people- to suit the needs of the preferred manipulators. The intervention of the financial institutions like the

A Union Minister on 16 May, 2006 declared in Parliament that the Government was thinking of taking back the public sector TVchannel. The public sector TV channel has been utilizing its autonomy to facilitate robbery. It has been utilizing its freedom to deny freedom to all others. It has been remaining as an instrument to deny democracy to Indians. Therefore, according to the Minister; it would lose its present so-called autonomy!

It is a well-known fact that a former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu State had to surrender before the 1000 million people of India the TANSI land bought from the Government of Tamil Nadu. The former Chief Minister did not violate any law or Act while buying the land. But the former Chief Minister, perhaps unknowingly, violated a very small code of conduct that prohibited public servants from acquiring public assets. Yet, the law of the land triumphed and the property had to be surrendered.
Similarly, a guideline devised for the privatization of the PSUs prohibited charge sheeted companies from buying the PSUs. Yet, the Union Government sold some PSUs to charge- sheeted companies. So the law of the land demands that such PSUs must be recovered just like the recovery of the TANSI land. In fact, the PSUs should have been taken back, the moment the common man reported the matter to the President of India. The

Is the President of India incapable of speaking the truth in these circumstances?
A Chief Minister declared in the Assembly that 2 acre of land would be given to the landless people in the State in order to fulfill the assurance given in the election manifesto of his party. Many people did not believe that this promise would materialize. Now, his declaration would have far reaching consequences in the State.
In this connection, it must be stated that had Travancore remained in the hands of the royal family of Travancore for a few more years after independence, the King would have distributed the plantations in his country to the landless people. But, after independence there were none to talk about this matter. The plantations remain as if they belonged to some invisible “Supreme Power”. Now, there is an excellent opportunity to distribute the Government plantations to the plantation workers and others. Even 50 cent of land per family would change the face of the society. The State Government could even extend the land ceiling act to private plantations to fulfill the assurances given in the election manifesto. For this, the Chief Minister must be as kind and royal as the King of Travancore - a tall demand in these days.
A learned judge of the High Court, Madras on 27 May, 2006 exhorted the people to fight for the rights of people. He added that the people repose their faith in the judiciary. The Chief Justice of High Court, Kerala said that service to the people must be the motto of one’s life.
It is now more are less certain that the Government of India has given more than Re. 100,000 crore to some manipulators since January 2006 through the stock market. Before giving this money, the Prime Minister of India exhorted the Chief Ministers in
Anyone going through his above speech – his only famous speech as Prime Minister of India- would tell that the Prime Minister would not have given Re. 100,000 crore to a few manipulators within a span of four months that too under the pretext of buying shares. Therefore, the act of giving Re. 100,000 core is against his theory.
Further, the Government released the above amount in one State. Therefore, the Chief Ministers of other states cannot learn anything from this. If they had learnt anything, they would consider this as treachery. On this ground also the Prime Minister would not have given this amount.
The Prime Minister, furthermore, said that

Now, he has as much power as the Prime Minister of India. In fact, the Prime Minister of India is only the first among the Ministers in the Union Cabinet. He could have requested the Prime Minister of India to prepare an additional Budget for Re.300,000 crore for the speedy development of infrastructure of his State and other States.
Now, the manipulators remove an amount equivalent to the Union Budget from the financial institutions under the pretext of selling shares. They consider it as a prerogative for keeping the Government in place. It is incredible that he has contributed his share to give Re.100,000 crore to a few manipulators who persecuted him in cold blood.
The manipulators would not spend even a fraction of the extracted money for the slated purpose. This is because it would not be remunerative for them to keep the money in the banks. Instead, the major portion would go for real estate business. In fact, the money has already percolated to various States. Thus a man with an income of, say Rs. 25000/- per month would not be able to buy a flat or 5 cent of land in a big city. In fact, there are no places for them even in jungles. One would say that higher land prices would be desirable for those who own lands. However, the increase in land prices is not at all consistent with the increase in salary. In this way the common man is being wiped out of existence. The manipulators, in fact, deny the right of many people to live in
If the Government were kind to the people, Re. 100,000 crore given to the manipulators should be recovered forthwith. The real estate business in big cities utilizing public money must be banned. Housing Boards must distribute land to landless people, industries and for the construction of flats at reasonable prices. The public properties sold for real estate business in Mumbai and other places should be taken back for similar purposes.
A former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, on 1 June, 2006 said that India is accepting corruption as an unavoidable part of democracy and governance structures. He said that combating corruption was critical to improving the quality of life of people. The media mafias gave wide publicity to his words.
