Re: [IAC#RG] RBI confesses that demonetisation failed

 It is true that all the 3 objectives stated by our PM while announcing the demo i.e. elimination of black money, ending corruption and hitting terrorism have failed. FM therefore now says that there have been benefits to economy in the form of digitisation etc - which only time will tell. While the concept of demo might not have been bad, its implementation without preparation and without analysing all aspects resulted in its failure.

Adverse effects of de-mo on the economy are very much visible - Services index negative for first time  in last 2 decades, Manufacturing index lowest in last decade, employment generation less than half of the targets, GDP growth down to 6.4% for first quarter of 2017-18 against 7.9 % of first quarter of last financial year

http://indianexpress.com/article/business/banking-and-finance/demonetisation-99-per-cent-of-demonetised-notes-came-back-rbi-annual-report-4821558/

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Wednesday disclosed that almost 99 per cent of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes which were withdrawn from circulation on November 8, 2016 has returned to the central bank, confirming what the government's critics had been pointing out about the weak economic rationale for demonetisation. This also raises questions about the overall gains and the impact on the economy, especially the informal sector, because of the disruption it caused.

Nine months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, the RBI finally revealed in its annual report that notes worth Rs 15.28 lakh crore were deposited by people as on June 30, 2017. This indicates that notes worth only Rs 16,000 crore were not returned since the value of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes in circulation was Rs 15.44 lakh crore on the day demonetisation was announced.

Re: [IAC#RG] TT

 Supreme court has only struck down Instant triple talaq and not triple talaq itself, which has two other modes with a gap between the 3 utterances of Talaq.

BJP raised the pitch against triple talaq during UP elections where in PM first raised this in his election speeches. However after UP election win PM told other political parties 'not to politicise the issue of triple talaq'.

It is true that Baba's/ Mahant's have followers amongst all political parties. It is a fact that apart from poor as well as illiterate population, they have also followers amongst executives/ intelligentsia who have probably lost their ability to analyse actions and situations.

Criticism of  Khattar is not that he is follower of Baba. Problem is his absolute lack of governance resulting in lack of control and indecision (may be some time motivated) as manifested in casualties during Jat agitation and recently in case of Baba. In Gurgaon, we see the results every day - although Haryana is BJP ruled state its poor compliance of Swatchh Bharat actions had rated Haryana amongst the states at the bottom. Metropolitan authority was formed in Gurgaon a year back without framing rules with the result that road repairs that are normally  completed in December were started only in April next. Haryana Minister made a statement that what is the hurry - people are not dying due to bad roads. Decision was given for builder colonies to be taken over by Municipal corporation without actual implementation with the result that roads in these colonies are not repaired by either of them and these roads are now in such terrible condition, almost non existent.

Re: [IAC#RG] RBI confesses that demonetisation failed

You had also recommended demonetisation for detecting fake currency notes. 

Other objective was to control terror funding, and money laundring. 

So how far the Govt. has succeded in achieving these objectives?

Re: [IAC#RG] TT

What a rant!!! And all based on suppositions and statements that are either half-truths or blatant lies. 

RSS and BJP have been pilloried as being communal organization and party whereas the truth is that there is no party in India which is non-communal. Ranging from a blatant agenda of appeasement of Muslims, aligned squarely with religious parties, getting endorsements from religious leaders and openly espousing the causes of communities based on language, caste or communities, the ills and sins of the non-BJP parties are too numerous. Calling just the BJP as communal is not being economical with truth - it is a blatant lie. 

For an organisation that is as old as RSS is and having not enjoyed a whiff of power for the major portion of its existence, the discipline and dedication that its cadre exhibits can not be paralleled by any other organisation. To pillory it just because majority of its members are Hindus or because one of its ex-member assassinated Gandhi is stupid at the very least and venal at worst. 

The hope for the country is that the activists and psudo-liberals are being trashed in social media visibly. Not only that; they are being pooh-poohed by the electorates on the grounds where it really matters. 

Go ahead and spew your bilge of anti-BJP, anti-RSS and anti-Hindu rants while India progresses as it should. 

And while at it remember to exclude me from your rants. I've better things to do.

I do not think any body has given credit to BJP for the judgement of Hon'ble supreme court. It is a judgement of the Hon'ble court of which we are proud of.

[IAC#RG] RBI confesses that demonetisation failed

http://indianexpress.com/article/business/banking-and-finance/demonetisation-99-per-cent-of-demonetised-notes-came-back-rbi-annual-report-4821558/

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Wednesday disclosed that almost 99 per cent of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes which were withdrawn from circulation on November 8, 2016 has returned to the central bank, confirming what the government's critics had been pointing out about the weak economic rationale for demonetisation. This also raises questions about the overall gains and the impact on the economy, especially the informal sector, because of the disruption it caused.

Nine months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, the RBI finally revealed in its annual report that notes worth Rs 15.28 lakh crore were deposited by people as on June 30, 2017. This indicates that notes worth only Rs 16,000 crore were not returned since the value of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes in circulation was Rs 15.44 lakh crore on the day demonetisation was announced.

Re: [IAC#RG] A VERY UNHOLY GOOF UP

Dear Aires

Thanks for highlighting this. It is a CRIMINAL ACT for a male priest
to take this group of minor Catholic girls into a dense forest at
night.What were the parents of these children thinking entrusting th
precious chastity of their daughters to this priest ?

Over the years all manner of fake priests, babas, maulvis, have abused
the innocence of their "flocks" for personal gain. All these Vaticans,
temples, ashrams etc have become power centres based on greed, lust,
debauchery and exploitation.

It is high time that the educated / intelligent people of India (ie.
if there any still left) conbine to wipe out these dens of corruption
and licentiousness and raze them to the ground.

On a side note, last month our great Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi
had invited me to an inter-faith gathering of about 25 religious
leaders, I (on behalf of Hindu Samaj of India) was the only one who
told them to their face and publicly and in writing that they were all
mainly frauds preying on innocent and desperate people who are left
with nowhere to go (corrupt courts / police / babudom) except to pray
for a better 2nd life through all these instittutional religious
rascals. It is unikel that I will be invited again.

I sincerely hope that Kailash Satyarthi respects the Arya Samaj
traditions of his late father-in-law (who I knew many years ago) and
does not seek support of these knd of people to project himself. As it
is the people are starting to get fed up with Mr. Modi and Mr. Amit
Shah (and their rigged voting machines) and the RSS forces are now
starting all sorts of these FAKE morchas and andolans to distract and
divert our foolish public.

I hope that you shall pursue this rogue priest through the criminal
system of India instead of submitting to some Vatican delegate and
sweeping such things under the carpet.

[IAC#RG] A VERY UNHOLY GOOF UP

It was a very providential escape for those seven minor girls, four of whom are from Ribandar, who went straying on that unauthorized trekking expedition into the deep forest of the Mhadei Wildlide Sanctuary. Highly irresponsible was the conduct of Melany Pinto who very carelessly misled these young girls into that thick forest which is infested with wild animals and thus endangered the lives of these minor girls while they remained vulnerable in that forest all night.


Melany Pinto who is attached to a religious order "Heralds of the Gospel" earlier used to assist the Parish Priest of Caranzalem and is now seen at the Ribandar Church. His gross misconduct in taking these minor girls on that totally reckless expedition needs to be taken very serious note of.  


Our Ribandar Church over the years has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. And that saga seems unending…Its time His Grace the Archbishop of Goa Rev. Filipe Neri Ferrao cracks the whip and seeks an immediate explanation.

BJP has done justice to Muslim women, It is not Anti Talaq. Muslim personal law is created and enacted by Nehru for vote banking. 

Why such laws are not available in rest of the world where Muslim resides ?

[IAC#RG] #NotInMyName in Ayodhya



Hi all...

Despite the Faizabad administration not allowing placards inside Ayodhya, we held the 27th August #NoToHatred and #NotInMyName successfully in Ayodhya...

Here is the Facebook post with all 9 videos of the program, held inside a temple premises in Ayodhya...

We were told that ''you cannot take the name of a Muslim in Ayodhya" etc...

But, as you shall see in the videos, along with fighters of Hindu origin, we took the name of Muslim martyrs of 1857 in Ayodhya as well...openly...

Most men and boys you see in the video are from Awadh...quite a few of them were in  BJP...but consistent work by 1857 Nationalist Forum and Kisan Kranti Dal has made entire units of BJP youth activists switch over...the appeal of Sanatan Dharma and composite culture--Ganga-Yamuni Tehzeeb--of Awadh and UP is too strong an appeal to resist...

I do not believe in preaching to the converted...I might have written the film 'Bulett Raja' and two volumes of 'War of Civilisations: 1857 AD'; but what good is that work if it does not translate into an alternative narrative of nationalism that can challenge RSS ideologically, politically, and above all, emotionally, on the ground? 

The failure of the entire anti-BJP political class has forced us writers to hit the heat and dust of street politics...that too of UP...

But I belong to the State...these are my people...

It is civil society Vs fascism now...

If they go on for temple construction in Ayodhya--which CM Yogi will begin from 6th December 2017 to mark 25 years of Babri Masjid demolition--then we have an alternate issue ready: free Kuber Teela, the site where Hindu-Muslim martyrs were hanged on 18th March 1858. Kuber Teela is currently part of the acquired land which includes make-shift 'Ram temple'...

Let there be a fight between 1857 Nationalism Vs religo-fascist-cultural nationalism...let's see who wins...

Criticism and feedback is welcome; but please don't belittle our effort by calling us 'too small' etc in front of Sangh Parivar...

[rti_india] Re: [ଓଡ଼ିଶା ସୂଚନା ଅଧିକାର ଅଭିଯାନ] Who is RTI Activist?

 

Dear Friends, 
With All Due respect to Every other Citizen of this great Country , i beg to differ on Calling the Entire Eligible Citizens of this Country who "USE" their Right to Information as "activists ", Since all of us have this Right .
In My View this is an Misnomer Coined by both Print And Electronic Media , Only Because they Just Could not Find a Catchy Word .
The Coinage of this word has been attributed to an American Researcher, However the Usage of Freedom Of Information in US of A & In India Differs Completely.
The First example to this is an Great Team of Fellow citizens in Maharashtra, More So In & around "PUNE " city who were led by the Great Journalist, Know by his Popular Name as Sri Prakash Kardaley , former Chief Editor of The indian Express , He Is now Not with us , But All through the Few Years he Was in this Activity , He Never ONCE made an RTI Request but used to Define, elaborate ,Deduce Every Pros& Cons of RTI . He was in Other words an encyclopedia of RTI and all its inherent , Internal , external issues . 
Myself Being also one who was Introduced to this Subject and Having Established an "RTI STUDY CENTER", A Recognised Resource Person also do not Make "RTI Request " . My requests Stopped when the National Act was Passed in 2005 .
People who just Start Making RTI Requests on being Told or Informed to do so without any Idea of what May Happen when they Do not get their Sought Information or Get Only Partial Information cannot be Called or Named Activists .
Myself in this sphere over these 12 long years of RTI Act 2005 , have Ensured that the Government / information Commission  Take such Steps , Issue such Orders which Ensure Large Public benefit to others and May be through them i also may be Benefited a little Bit like 
1. Continuously Studying and Follow up on Section 4.1.  b Declarations are Made by Public Authorities without Using RTI requests 
2. Ensure that the Police Department issue A Long Lasting and High Bearing Circular that Police Dept has no Authority Nor have any Right to Call an RTI Requester to Police Station , Nor send a police officer Just to deliver the Information Sought ( You can Understand the Implication of this) 
3. ensure that the Government issue a Circular to effect that they Issue or provide Documents only Normal Office practice of True Copy and Not to Qualify it as "issued under RTI" or such other similar Fashions 
4. Ensure that the First Fees is ₹ 10/- only (there is a Great History behind this and even Limit/restrict Further fees to ₹2/- only  , T Suffice it state that Karnataka was the First State to Constitute and Establish an Information Commission on 30th June 2005 even before all Sections of RTI were Brought into Force being 12th October 2005 
5. The First Fees Paid Only in our state is "INITIAL" fees and not application fees  which ensure Savings both to the Citizen as also exchequer of at least ₹25/- each for just one or two pages of Supply of Documents 
6. Ensured that a SOP is made on First Appeal hearing process immediately after the Supreme court Delivered the Manipur Information Commission Vs. Manipur Government Case in the matter of the Scope of Info Comms in Complaints under Section 18
I Most humbly Submit that there are only "USERS" of RTI in our Country without any Dearth and Classify citizens into three (3) different and Distinct Categories and Only that they may Play roles at certain definite Situations as 

ACTIVIST ----------->        ------------>
                 <----------  user   <----------- BENEFICIARY 
Let us look and re-look  the role of Citizens in RTI usage in a very deep prospective 
Finally to add Salt & pepper , In Bengaluru People who Make Certain Set of RTI Queries to Certain Public Authorities & PIOs only for Pecuniary Benefits and further a given limited cause Contrary to the Great Intended Cause of RTI are very Easily named "RTI ACTIVISTS" ( I think i need not expand or write what exactly is this definition) In Fact when an Professor of Journalism from an american University Recently had a Day long Discussion on Impact or Status of RTI india as a study , I conveyed my analysis of this and it was Readily accepted as very Plausible way to indicate the essence of RTI  and its perculation.
i am very sorry and i beg to differ as is Different and distinct in our Country and Statistics on other inherent things may still reveal Contrary positions.
Thanks for Invoked my Response and Given me my opportunity to Express   my thoughts which i firmly believe

Who is RTI Activist?
Dear friends

After implementation  of Right to Information Act in 2005,  many  Social Activists, volunteers  and Anti-corruption crusaders  are  seen using RTI  to expose  corruption and maladministration  as well as to enforce transparency  in the administration.  The people who are using RTI extensively  and  carrying out campaign for effective implementation of RTI Act  in the  country are called as RTI Activists.

RTI Activism is debated and discussed much in public domain that too in mass media across the country.  Commitment of RTI  Activists to expose mega corruption and irregularities and maladministration in Govt.   has been widely acclaimed   by  different of section of  people across the country. Within short span of 12  years of implementation of RTI Act, more than 60  RTI Activists have been killed and hundreds of activists assaulted and false case and defamation case filed against them. Many of them are also languishing in jail. Such scenario has not taken place in any campaign on any law  in the country.
RTI Activist is defined as  someone who  seeks   varies of information  and  makes  it  available to the people  and  highlight same through mass media. They are people who are driven by passion and commitment and keen to share information more widely.  They not only disseminate information but daringly and vigorously purse the matter  to reach at logical end. With the information , they try their best  to fight out the issues relating to  the system by  organising public demonstration, filling cases  in courts  and raising the issues  through policymakers  in  appropriate forum, They are the people who see the need for change and improvement on a large scale inside the Government. RTI activism is not about how you look or the clothes you wear: the sine qua non of activism is doing. We feel it is more important to look at the actions being undertaken rather than how individuals define themselves.

Information Scientist Anthony Molaro coined the term 'Information Activist' in 2009 as  "An information activist is a vigorous advocate of knowledge gained through study, communication, research or instruction"
  For some Activism comes naturally, while for others, it's something that comes as a result of problems they see or upon learning about something they passionately believe needs to change. Whatever the reason for wanting to become an RTI activist, the Activist pursue their cause relentlessly no matter their age, their means, or their background.  Their victimisation by the  Powerful and  History-sheeters  is obvious. But  it has not died out  their passion and vigour.  That is the beauty of an RTI Activist.
