Maithreepala Srisena is Arjun


2005:
Registered Electors: 13.0 million
Mahinda Rajapaksa:   4.9 million
No support to MR  :   8.1 million
___________________________________________________________


2010:
Registered Electors: 14 million
Mahinda Rajapaksa:   6 million
No support to MR  :   8 million




2015:
Total Population:      20 million
Mahinda Rajapaksa:   8 million
No support to MR  : 12 million
_______________________________
When you see the pattern, Mahinda Rajapaksa didn't get the support of entire population of Sri Lanka.

Two things had been helping Mahinda Rajapaksa to win those elections.

One is; the entire population had no faith in democracy and political system; that was the reason, they avoided the voting on election day. They stayed away from participating in the election process. That did go advantage to Mahinda Rajapaksa.

Now, in 2015, people feel that it is their responsibility to cast their vote on election day. On seeing the political developments in Sri Lanka, more citizens have already participating in Twitter and Facebook discussion. So, this time, more people would cast their vote. That may go against Mahinda Rajapaksa.

If they get involved in violence, then the image of Mahinda Rajapaksa in the international stage would be greatly damaged. Why such a hurry. Mahinda Rajapaksa could have slowly build up Facebook likes and Twitter following over a period of two years and then would have gone for an election. Still it is not too late. Just cancel the election and complete the second term.

Second things is; splitting of vote among opposition candidates.

Had there been Mahinda Rajapaksa, Ranil Wickramasinghe, Sarath Fonseka and ten candidates from each religion and regions; that would split the votes. That split used to go advantage to Mahinda.

This time; look at the event; it is solid. No chance for any split.

It's a master plan. In fact, it is not a plan of Maithreepala Srisena.

In fact, in October 2014, Maithreepala Srisena wrote a letter to the President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

That letter conveyed this message, "Are you stupid, Mahinda. Why. why. Why do you want to have an election now. You already have two more years. Why don't you just do your duty."

Those words were not from Maithreepala Srisena. In fact, it was from Buddha.

But, bad time for Mahinda.
Mahinda ignored Maithreepala Srisena and enjoyed listening to his jalras;
his favorite buddies.

That letter demonstrates the character of integrity of Maithreepala Srisena.
Maithreepala Srisena could see the truth;
and Maithreepala Srisena was not hiding the truth from Mahinda.

So, Maithreepala Srisena is not Krishna.
Krishna and other wise human beings made a decision and assign the task to Maithreepala Srisena.

In this Kurukshetra, Maithreepala Srisena is Arjun.
__________________________________________
Those monks played the role of Krishna.
Very well conceived and executed.

They didn't want to spend their energy to make Ranil Wickramasinghe or Sarath Fonseka stronger.

They wanted to shake Mahinda Rajapaksa's own party;
own cabinet minister;
that was a touch of Krishna.

Also, they didn't pickup any cabinet minister; had they picked up that foreign minister or any corrupt minister, they could end up in disaster.

Wow. These monks - wisdom.
Oh man! they don't preach or advice.
Action. They are directly involved in action.
Karma.

Mahinda Rajapaksa misused and abused all these spiritual leaders.
Poor Mahinda. Took everything granted.
Had been playing with fire.

Not all monks are good; not all monks are bad.
A few monks; they practice truth; truth is fire.

The end has already come to Mahinda.

Safe Exit

Nobody questions family rule in North Korea.

The world accepts King of Jordan.

King of Bhutan is part of SAARC family.

So, there is nothing wrong to be the king of Sri Lanka.

That is the best option for Mahinda Rajapaksa at this point of time. Mahinda Rajapaksa still believes he has two third majority in the Parliament. If that is true, Mahinda Rajapaksa should test it on the floor.

Mahinda Rajapaksa shall move a resolution in the parliament; let us abolish the Executive Presidency; let us go back to our tradition; way before the arrival of the British; let us go back to royal kingdom; let our family be the first modern king family.

In that way, Mahinda Rajapaksa could bring all political entertainments to an end. In fact, people would agree with Mahinda; right now, it is not democracy of, for , by the people; so people would say 'YES' for King and Queen. In fact, people enjoy the fantasy of King, Queen and Royal Wedding.

By becoming the King of Sri Lanka, Mahinda Rajapaksa could achieve China's economic development. The main reason for China's development is - no wastage of energy in the name of democracy. Single party rule; no election; just an appointment.

____________________________________________________
This time the conspiracy is a bigger one; and it is a mega conspiracy. You cannot blame them. They did try to work with you. But Mahinda Rajapaksa agrees to one thing and acts in an opposite way. So, the international community lost the faith in the leadership of Mahinda Rajapaksa.

The United Nations; the US;  entire Europe; may be Russia too; China don't care; China ready to work with MR, MS, RW or SF; Pakistan is in the same situation; India, if you're true, India would help; if you try to play game, India would teach you a lesson.

So, Mahinda is right. It is an international initiative; not a conspiracy; everything is obvious. International community want the sufferings of the people of Sri Lanka to come to an end. If you call that as a conspiracy; then go ahead.

Yes. Mahinda is right. Dollar may not flow into Sri Lanka to bring about the change; but Twitter and Facebook offers a platform for the people to express themselves freely. Twitter and Facebook is the platform for Freedom of Expression.

Twitter and Facebook is open to Mahinda Rajapaksa too. If you could convince the people with your actions, go ahead. But it is level playing field for all candidates.

So, this time, Mahinda Rajapaksa has to face larger international initiative.
_______________________________________________________
This time, Mahinda Rajapaksa failed to sense the threat from his own cabinet colleagues. This is a dangerous trend. All head of states; let it be any country; they cannot rely on their cabinet colleagues.

In Sri Lanka, the party colleagues got irritated with the family corruption.

Family Corruption. That is an USP (Unique Selling Proposition)

People would buy it. Family Corruption in Sri Lanka is so obvious. All of a sudden, Mahinda Rajapaksa cannot cover it. People would vote against this one point.

When Maithreepala Srisena says; he would abolish the Executive Presidency; people don't care.

When Maithreepala Srisena says; he would make Ranil Wickramasinghe the PM; people don't care.

When Maithreepala Srisena says; he would bring Family Corruption to an end; people do care.

When Maithreepala Srisena says; he would confiscate the wealth of entire Rajapaksa family; inland and abroad; people do care.

When Maithreepala Srisena says a figure; for instance; 1 lakhs 75 thousand crores of rupees; people do vote. People want that magic number. Magic number works. You may not bring it back to the country; but people do enjoy the magic number and vote for you.
________________________________________________________
Historically, during the British rule and even during the ethnic struggle; rest of the world respect Sri Lankans.

Arthur C. Clarke lived there his entire life. Sri Lankans used to excel in education; culture; and so many fronts.

Now, ever since Mahinda Rajapaksa came into the stage, Sri Lankans lost their respect in the international stage.

Sri Lanka is not Afghanistan.
Sri Lanka is not Iraq.
Sri Lanka used to be one of the favorite nation for all in the British Empire.

Boat Mail  was the innovation of the British. In fact, the British engineers even explored under the sea railway to connect Rameswaram with Mannar.

Ceylon radio was world class standard. Binaca Geeth Mala - everybody enjoys it.

As soon as the war was over, the world was eagerly waiting for Sri Lanka to return to its original nature. But that didn't happen. The international community did give a long rope and enough time to correct his mistakes.

Now, the international community come to a conclusion; Mahinda Rajapaksa would never understand the native, original Ceylon culture. In British empire, Sri Lanka was the best.
___________________________________________________________
So, coming to the free, independent institutions of Sri Lanka...

For Chandrika Kumaratunga, the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka said 'No' for her request to add one year period to her second term.

So, the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka...once upon a time, could act with total freedom; not any more.

Right now, Mahinda Rajapaksa write the judgment; Supreme Court judges read those statement.

Election commission does not function with total freedom.

But now, all institutions are revolting against Mahinda Rajapaksa and his family.
With larger initiative on the island, Mahinda Rajapaksa had already lost control over these institutions.
If Mahinda Rajapaksa fails to realize this truth; he could blame his powerful brother Gotabhaya only.

So, Mahinda Rajapaksa cannot continue till 19 November, 2016 as the President.
____________________________________________________________
On January 9, 2015, Mahinda Rajapaksa and his family would leave is a special plane to an unidentified location; it may be Cuba. They would spend their rest of the life over there. The international community would facilitate the safe exit for Mahinda family.

That is what happen to King of Iran and so many other royal families. Royal cannot go on forever.

You cannot hide your royal way of living. Right now, Mahinda Rajapaksa cut-out is higher than Buddha statue. Number of Buddha statues are less than number of cut-outs.

So, only one way out for Mahinda. Pass a resolution on the floor of the parliament; abolish the Executive Presidency; become a King; appoint a Prime Minister; just like the old British model of King George V or IV.
____________________________________________
So, pack your baggage and have a safe exit with all your family members.
Mahinda Rajapaksa may become a monk and spread Buddhism in your new location such as Cuba.

The people of Sri Lanka should be thankful and grateful to Twitter and Facebook.

MoU with people of Sri Lanka

The presidential election is declared in Sri Lanka. But no candidate has published any manifesto.

No manifesto from Mahinda Rajapaksa. No manifesto from Maithreepala Srisena.

All you see is MoU. Memorandum of Understanding between Maithreepala Srisena and Rani Wickramasinghe.  

Manifesto is a MoU between candidates and people. But, Sri Lankan politicians have no concern about the people; they are worried about their own political future.

Had it been United States of America, people care about the political debate between the candidates. But in Sri Lanka, there would be no debate between Mahinda Rajapaksa and Maithreepala Srisena. Perhaps, let them start the process now.

Let there be a debate between the presidential candidates; let there be a debate between MR and MS. Let the world watch the debate.

In India, there is no presidential election; India continues with the Westminister parliamentary system.

Thank goodness. Sri Lanka don't have the Westminister parliamentary system. Westminister system guarantees only political entertainment; no action.

Had they adopted Westminister parliamentary system, Mahinda Rajapaksa would have been the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka.

Prime Minister of Sri Lanka would not have got the majority votes in the parliament to launch a full scale war against the people of north; so, the three decades status quo, would have continued for two more decades.

Prime Minister of Sri Lanka; no way; could have launched all these economic activities in Sri Lanka.

Executive President only could achieve all these results. Westminister system is only for political entertainment.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi couldn't achieve any of his goals in the Westminister system. It has been dragging Narendra Modi backwards.

The very first thing is, Westminister system does not guarantee stability; it causes more chaos and confusion.

Had Narendra Modi been the Executive President of India, without much effort, Narendra Modi could have taken the country forward.

Now, Narendra Modi spends more time in worrying about stability of the central and state governments; Modi now asks for absolute majority from the people.
____________________________________________

In Sri Lanka, right now, no leader talks about the issues of people and they have no plan of action to address people issues.

The main focus is all about MoU between MS & RW

It's time, they should think about people. They should address about people issues in their manifesto.

For example, they could publish manifesto like:

  • bringing back black money from foreign bank accounts
  • action against 2G corruption
  • IIT and IIM for all provinces
  • Free laptop for all students
  • Free meals at schools
  • Holidays on every Full moon and every Amavasai too
  • making Sri Lanka as a Developed nation by 3050
  • other creative, innovative policy and promises
It's time; political leaders; better talk about the people.
If people don't suffer, then they would not change the government.

People are also just like you; self-centered.
People would come to the street, if they suffer.
People won't come to the street, for your future.
So, just like MoU between various partners, you need to publish a MoU for the people.

By voting to you, what do people gain?
It is a business. You need to buy their vote.
You need to give them something; then they would give you the vote.

That something could be $5 per vote as a short term gain;
or better future as a long term policy.

You're running out of time.
So, it is time, you need to look beyond your political friends to the people of Sri Lanka.



The Royal Family of Sri Lanka

Right now, in Sri Lanka, it is:

  • democracy by the royal Rajapaksa family
  • democracy of the royal Rajapaksa family
  • democracy for the royal Rajapaksa family
It is now being transformed into:
  • democracy by Sri Lankan politicians
  • democracy of Sri Lankan politicians
  • democracy for Sri Lankan politicians
After a few more decades, it would be transformed into:
  • democracy by the people of Sri Lanka
  • democracy of the people of Sri Lanka
  • democracy for the people of Sri Lanka
The President Mahinda Rajapaksa has effectively used two names:
  • Prabhakaran
  • Buddha
Mahinda Rajapaksa had eliminated Prabhakaran once for all. That was a serious mistake. Had Mahinda Rajapaksa let Prabhakaran go abroad, Mahinda Rajapaksa and his entire family could rule Sri Lanka for their entire life and future generations too. Mahinda could have continued his propaganda against Prabhakaran and continue to protect his people. Nobody could challenge Mahinda for ever.

Right now, as Prabhakaran is no more, there is no need for Mahinda. People are ready to accept any politicians to be the President of Sri Lanka now.

Coming to Buddha... Not Buddha's teaching. Mahinda and his family do not care to follow Buddha's teaching; they never give up any ambitions. 

Mahinda and his family have been misusing Buddha to their advantage. In the name of Buddha, they exploit the people of Sri Lanka. Nobody from Rajapaksa family become monks; but they encourage poor family to send their kids to monastery.  

Except Gotabhaya, nobody from Rajapaksa family served in the challenging time in military. 

Mahinda Rajapaksa corrupt other politicians and continue to blackmail them when they go against the family. Right now, all politicians, including from his own party, are joining together to bring the family rule to an end.

With this effort, Sri Lanka would be transformed into democracy for all politicians.

Once Mahinda Rajapaksa gone, all politicians have equal opportunity to reach the top. 

That is the reason, all politicians of Sri Lanka join hands together. They do have their own differences; but for their own future, for now, they set aside their differences and start working together. 

Once Mahinda Rajapaksa gone, they would challenge each others.

That is the reason, members of his own party are revolting against Mahinda Rajapaksa.

Right now, Mahinda Rajapaksa is left alone; no politicians are with Mahinda.

It is a too much risk for all those politicians. They have challenged Mahinda Rajapaksa. They cannot go back. They need to capture the power. If they fail to do so, the after effect would be the worse. 

Most of the time, politicians hesitate to take any risk, thinking about the after-effect. But, these politicians took the risk. It is a huge risk. It is all about their life and death.

Only Twitter and Facebook could save the life of Sri Lankan politicians.

Unconstitutional Authority

Sri Lanka democracy system is not as good as United States of America.

Sri Lanka is not as bad as North Korea.

But, Sri Lanka is in a confused state.

The President Mahinda Rajapaksa is one of the best politician in the world. As a politician, Mahinda Rajapaksa made a growth from ordinary party members to nation leadership position. Other politicians would feel comfortable in working with or confronting Mahinda Rajapaksa. As a politician, Mahinda Rajapaksa play the game as per the rule.

The real threat in Sri Lanka is, Gotabhaya Rajapaksa. Gotabhaya is not a politician. Gotabhaya is not even a member of any political party. Gotabhaya is not a member of Parliament. Gotabhaya is not a minister in the cabinet.

Gotabhya doesn't believe in any of this system. But, in Sri Lanka Gotabhaya has unlimited, unconstitutional power and authority. Absolutely no constitutional responsibility; no accountability.

No MP; no judicial system; no citizen could question Gotabhaya. That is the real issue of current Sri Lanka.

All those politicians, Maithreepala Srisena, Ranil Wickramasinghe, Chandrika Kumaratunga - they could challenge and confront with Mahinda Rajapaksa. But on the background, they need to confront with Gotabhaya. That is the challenge for current day Sri Lanka politicians.

Politicians in Sri Lanka could easily take on all other members of Mahinda Rajapaksa family; except Gotabhaya.

So, the political leaders of Sri Lanka need to list out current challenges of Sri Lanka. In that list, unconstitutional authority of Gotabhaya would be top in the list; one step higher than the Executive Presidency.

The President Mahinda Rajapaksa could shake hands with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and agree to all demands of India. But the truth is, Mahinda Rajapaksa has to consult with Gotabhaya for implementation. That was the main reason, in the international stage, no leaders could take Mahinda's commitment seriously. It would be better if Narendra Modi could talk to Gotabhaya, the unconstituional authority of Sri Lanka.

So, Sri Lankans politicians need to challenge the unconstitutional authority and power of Gotabhaya. For obvious reason, they cannot do it; so nothing going to change in Sri Lanka. All these political entertainments would come to an end with the election on January 8., 2015.

Mahinda Rajapaksa would continue as the President for the third term; and Gotabhya would continue as the Secretary of Defense. But, the politicians need to face the after effect for challenging the president for their rest of the life.

So, Sri Lanka is a democracy for outside world; internally, the suffering continues for the people.

Military Intelligence for whole island




The Indian general election of 2014 was held to constitute the 16th Lok Sabha, electing members of parliament for all 543 parliamentary constituencies of India. Running in nine phases from 7 April to 12 May 2014, it was the longest election in the country's history.

Indian Election Commission now practices slow phase election schedule; not in a hurry; not in one day. This strategy avoids all kinds of polling day violence; booth capturing and other threats. Election commission could deploy enough security forces for free and fair election. Political parties also started behaving good. Any bad incident would affect the image of that political party and also affect their potential in the next phases. Enough security could be deployed in each location on different schedule dates. Media could effectively cover polling process. Nowadays poll violence completely come to an end in India. Political parties don't even attempt to any violence activities. People have more confidence in the election process and come in large numbers to booth and cast their vote with greater responsibility.

Now coming to military role in democracy in Sri Lanka...

Military have been so effective in the northern and eastern part of the nation. Military intelligence cover all political leaders, all spiritual and religious leaders, all other activists and citizens too. Military do occupy more parts of this region and also involved in civil services activities too. With the military presence, the elected Provincial government in north region couldn't function with total freedom and independence.  Military have been deployed on the roads; inside the university and all other spy activities too.

Citizens living in north, have seen more violence for many decades. So, now they try to live their life. They do co-operate with military and other security forces and live life as it is. From their perspective, the situation is not the best; but it is not the worst; so they just take it as it is; no complaints.

So,  government face absolutely no challenge from the people of northern and eastern regions. Right now, the government face challenges from the rest of the island; from their own friends and colleagues; from their own spiritual leaders.

Right now, government don't face any challenges from the military. The Mahinda Rajapaksa government could now trust and rely on military forces only. 

It is so surprise; one monk said; that monk has been the mastermind for this curent crisis. In Sri Lanka, monks are very active in politics. Do monks have voting rights? 

In fact, Sri Lanka monks follow the path of Buddha. In the early part of life, Buddha was a king. Then Buddha left the kingdom and gave up politics. Sri Lanka monks follow the early part of the life of Buddha. Sri Lanka monks are very active in politics. 

So far, Mahinda Rajapaksa had to rely on police intelligence for the central, western and souther parts of Sri Lanka. Police intelligence miserably failed in Sri Lanka. Police intelligence failed to capture information on all these current developments.  Now, Mahinda Rajapaksa left with no option. Mahinda Rajapaksa has to replace police intelligence with military intelligence.

Right now, when you walk on the roads in Jaffna, you would see lot of military personnels with machine guns. From December 2014 onwards, that would be the situation in all parts of Sri Lanka. Whether you are in Kandy or Colombo, you would see military personnels with machine guns every where in Sri Lanka.

It is not an easy task. Military in Sri Lanka is the most complex and challenging one. In India, you could depute soldiers in any part of India; you could ask the soldiers to serve in Darjeeling or Kashmir or Mumbai or Madurai. But not in Sri Lanka.

In Sri Lanka; it is so sad; we need to use all those divisive labels in making things clear to all. In Sri Lanka, people carry divisive labels such as Tamil and Singala. In Sri Lanka, only Singala people could join in the military. It is quite natural for the Singala military to act against Tamil civilians. There has been no challenge at all. It has been so easy for the Sri Lanka military to manage people in the northern region.

Now, Sri Lanka is facing new challenge and crisis. Singala military has to act against Singala civilians. It would not be easy for Sri Lanka soldiers. Sri Lanka military would revolt against Mahinda Rajapaksa government. 

Every challenge has an innovative opportunity. Mahinda Rajapaksa has the solution on hand. Karuna. Karuna is the best friend of Mahinda Rajapaksa. The President could appoint Karuna as a military general and give the responsibility to manage the challenges in central and southern part of Sri Lanka. Karuna has military experience; could recruit Tamil soldiers and use them against the people of southern Sri Lanka.

So, Mahinda Rajapaksa could not use the current military to manage the current crisis. Currently all politicians are revolting against Mahinda Rajapaksa; all monks are against Mahinda Rajapaksa; now the military would revolt against Mahinda Rajapaksa.

Only way out to escape from the current crisis is just cancel the election and quietly rule Sri Lanka for the next two years. Blame it on Pope. As Pope is visiting, let us postpone the election indefinitely. 


National Government right now

In United States, the election dates are fixed. The period is fixed. They don't have any snap polls. Even in crisis, their constitution offers a stable democratic government. No confusion at all.

Those founding fathers of United States of America; not just their citizens, but also the whole world respects and regards those visionary human beings. They could build a system, three hundred years ago, taking everything into consideration. The best of the best in democracy system; no defects. The current day chaos in American system is the misinterpretation of the constitution; such as, primary election and its elimination process; and so on. The United States constitution doesn't authorize any political party and its all associated practices such as, primary election. Even three hundred years ago, they didn't introduce any election symbols; their citizen could read the names of the candidates and could cast their vote. In India, it is an insult to the intelligence of the citizen, to have symbols on those electronic voting machine.

In India,  when the election is announced, the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that he will step down after his country's national elections due in May.

"In a few months' time, after the general election, I will hand the baton over to a new prime minister," Singh told a news conference in New Delhi.

In Sri Lanka; don't just blame Mahinda Rajapaksa. Earlier, Chandrika Kumaratunga did try to abuse the constitution by announcing poll earlier and asked for adding one year to the second term.

The whole sufferings of the citizens of Sri Lanka, right from 1947 - is mainly due to the confusion of political system. Had they practiced 'all citizens are equal' policy right from 1947, they would not had to undergo all those sufferings of civil war.

At least now, have the policy; may not for citizens; but for candidates. Let all candidates be equal; let them have equal rights for the election.

So, let the President Mahinda Rajapaksa resign and may act as an interim president till the announcement of the election results; if Mahinda Rajapaka has confidence in himself and in his performance.

But now, more than confidence, the President Mahinda Rajapaksa has fear. All his actions are born out of fear. So, Mahinda Rajapaksa would never resign and would not select the role of interim president.

But the field has to provide equal rights and opportunities to all candidates; then only the election would be fair and free.

So, dismiss the Executive President now, as the election has been announced and form an interim National Government now; yes right now.

In any democracy, the legislature has the power. So, in legislature pass a resolution to dismiss the Executive President and form an interim National Government now.

No need for National Government after the election; after the election, let the President have a free hand in selecting her  or his cabinet.

But now, form the National Government.

Challenge the system; in the court; in the legislature; and on the street.

Imran Khan has been a model for emerging democracy; fight on the street.

Member of Parliament Mangala Samaraweera said; the MoU about the deal of making Ranil as the Prime Minister would be signed on the road on next Monday.

So, challenge the system; let the world know about the democracy in Sri Lanka.

It would be meaningful to boycott this election, if Mahinda Rajapaksa continue to be the Executive President during the election process. Out of fear of defeat, Mahinda Rajapaka would misuse and abuse all the democratic institutions such as, Election Commission, Judicial Legal system, Parliament to win the election. It will not be a fair and free election. President Mahinda Rajapaksa would fix the result; even if the results go against Mahinda Rajapaksa, you cannot ask him to vacate the seat. Mahinda Rajapaksa would continue to be the President till 19 November 2016.

So, act now and go for an interim National Government right now.

Then all players on the filed would be equal. Let Mahinda Rajapaksa take this as a challenge and contest the election on his strength in free and fair way. In that manner, if Mahinda Rajapaksa contest and win the election, the world would respect him.

Not sure, whether God would bless Mahinda or not; but the Pope would visit Ceylon and would bless Mahinda.

On the other hand, if the world have to witness violence on the streets of Colombo, the Pope would cancel the visit.

So, go for an interim National Government right now.

No New Government in January 2015



First Term:
Election date: 17 November, 2005
Swearing In date: 19 November 2005

Second Term:
Election date: 26 January, 2010
Swearing In date: 19 November, 2010

Third Term:
Election date: 8 January, 2015
Swearing In date: 19 November, 2015

No Third Term:
Election date: 8 January, 2015
End date: 19 November, 2016
___________________________________________________
President Chandrika Kumaratunga had called the 1999 election one year ahead of schedule; she argued that the extra year should be appended to her second term, and filed suit do to this. The Supreme Court of Sri Lanka rejected her claims and the election went ahead.
___________________________________________________________________

There will be no new government in January 2015.
Even after the election...
Mahinda Rjapaksa win or lose; it doesn't matter.
Till 19 November, 2016, Mahinda Rajapaksa is the President of Sri Lanka.

All these National Government for 100 days; no way.

Earlier they said; eliminate the Executive Presidency in 100 days and make Ranil as the Prime Minister.

Now, they modified their goals and say, we would form a National Government for 100 days and do reforms that are possible. They do not publish a list of reforms, that they plan to accomplish in 100 days.

Soon, they would quit.
_____________________________________________________________

One good thing that has happened in Sri Lanka.
Now, in 2014, all citizens of Sri Lanka are equal.
Not by constitutional; but by Mahinda Rajapaksa's action.

All citizens; without any exceptions; are equal in Sri Lanka.
Freedom is denied to all;
Freedom is denied not just the people in the north, but also for the entire island.
As there is no freedom for citizens, all are now slaves.
Except the President and his family all are slaves.
Even cabinet ministers are slaves.
The difference is between comfortable slaves and uncomfortable slaves.
Cabinet ministers are comfortable slaves; others are uncomfortable slaves.
___________________________________________________________
All these early poll and its related activities have been happening; they are advantage to Mahinda.  All conspiracies are out. What the intelligence couldn't deliver, the poll announcement brought all conspiracy out. With this poll announcement, Mahinda could come to understand the conspiracy that has been going on against his rule.

Till now, Mahinda Rajapaksa has not resigned. Mahinda would never resign.

Even if, Maithreepala Srisena win the election; as per constitution, Srisena would be known as President-elect; not as the President.

In United States, the election happens on November 4. By evening, the results would be out. The winning candidate would be addressed as President-elect. The President-elect may have to wait for two months before take charge from the outgoing president.

So, no change of government - in the month of January.

Let Rajapaksa family rule for two more decades

Let Mahinda Rajapaksa continue to be the Executive President of Sri Lanka. Let Mahinda serve the nation for third term; and then his family rule for two more decades.

Already Mahinda Rajapaksa had been the President for a decade; let them rule for two more decades; in total, let the people of Sri Lanka undergo the pain and suffering for three decades.

People in the north had been suffering for three decades. Rest of the people didn't understand their sufferings. Now, with Mahinda Rajapaksa presidency, the rest of the people understand the need for freedom and basic human rights.

This is not enough. Let all people of Sri Lanka suffer for two more decades. Then they would realize the sufferings of the people of the north.

These Rajapaksa brothers invest the entire tax money on two things. One is military; other is on monks.

They need military to control the people in the north and the east.

They need monks to control the people in the rest of the country.

Youth have only two options in Sri Lanka. Either they could become a monk; or become a soldier.

Both investment consumes huge wealth from tax payers money; but absolutely no return on this investment.

Let the status quo in Sri Lanka continue.

Because the new common candidate Maithripala Sirisena is in a state of confusion. 

Maithripala Sirisena said; he will eliminate the Executive Presidency in 100 days; and make Ranil  Wickramasinghe the Prime Minister.

This statement is not clear; in fact, it contradicts; then what will Maithripala Sirisena would do.

Will Maithripala Sirisena be the Health Minister in Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe's cabinet.

Mahinda Rajapaksa is a known person; the whole world knows about Mahinda Rajapaksa; it is better to go with known leader rather than with an unknown  Maithripala Sirisena.

More over, Maithripala Sirisena is not standing on his own strength; there are more people at the background. 

Maithripala Sirisena would be the Manmohan Singh and Chandrika Kumaratunga will be Sonia Gandhi.

The political problems of Sri Lanka are:

  • all citizens pay equal taxes
  • so, all citizens are equal
  • if, all citizens are not equal, then it doesn't matter, whether it is President X or Y
  • delegate power to the Provincial Council and local governments
Executive President is not a problem. Empower the citizens of Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka is not a small country as Singapore; you cannot effectively govern Sri Lanka with a centralized power with the Executive President.

Let the Executive President take care of business outside with the international community.

Let the Provincial Council manage the daily affairs of the local people.

The End of Family Rule in Sri Lanka


Sirisena’s letter – a red light for Rajapaksas


It is reported that the Secretary General of the SLFP Minister Maithripala Sirisena has, in writing, asked the President why preparations are being made to hold a sudden presidential election when his term ends in two more years.

The internal conflicts in the government have developed rapidly after the Uva PC election and many seniors in the SLFP have expressed opposition to holding a presidential election before President’s 6 year term ends. The written query by the Secretary General of the SLFP would have been influenced by the forces opposing Rajapaksas point out political analysts adding that Minister Sirisena would not resort to such an action on his own.

In his letter Minister Sirisena asks why a presidential election is held when promises made at the previous presidential election had not been fulfilled and suggests it would be better if the election is held after fulfilling the promises.

Minister Sirisena too is a senior in the SLFP who has been harassed by Rajapaksa family regime. Political analysts say a large number in the government are preparing to publicly act against Rajapaksa family rule in the near future. They say the letter from Minister Sirisena is a signal for what is in store for the regime.

Sri Lanka election: Health chief to challenge Rajapaksa


The move by Health Minister Maithripala Sirisena is a major political setback for the president ahead of the January vote.

Mr Sirisena was one of the most powerful men in the ruling party.

Five other government MPs have also announced their defections. Rajitha Senaratne, Duminda Dissanayake, Rajiva Wijeysinghe, MKDS Gunawardena and Vasantha Senanayaka have all decided to back Mr Sirisena in the 8 January election.

He also has the backing of the main opposition UNP in the poll as well as the support of former President Chandrika Kumaratunga. Correspondents say that Friday's dramatic developments are likely to split President Rajapaksa's Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP).

In a news conference, Mr Sirisena said that Sri Lanka was heading towards a dictatorship and was blighted by rampant corruption, nepotism and the breakdown of the rule of law.


He said that the president's executive powers, the deteriorating law and order situation and Sri Lanka's weakening democratic structures were all reasons that compelled him to accept the common candidate nomination.

"The entire economy and every aspect of society is controlled by one family," he said.

Parliamentary Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa, Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa and the powerful Defence Secretary, Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, are all brothers of the president.His eldest son, Namal, is a lawmaker and head of the youth wing of the president's Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP).

_______________________________________________________

Winston Churchill 1945 election is the best example for all politicians around the world. You could face the challenge from outside; but you fail when the challenge is from within.

Winston Churchill effectively faced the challenge from Hitler; but miserably failed to face the challenge from his own colleague, the Deputy Prime Minister Clement Attlee.

In 1945, Winston Churchill lost the election. It was a landslide victory for Clement Attlee. The Prime Minister Clement Attlee gave freedom to India, Ceylon, Pakistan and brought down the entire British empire. Clement Attlee brought the Great Britain down to Ordinary Britain. Clement Attlee is the main reason for the chaos in most part of the world like, India, Ceylon, Pakistan and Burma.

Now coming to Sri Lanka... The President Mahinda Rajapaksa failed to realize the challenge from his own colleagues. The emerging star of Sri Lanka, Srisena warned the President against having election now.

It's still not too late. The President could cancel the election and continue for the next two years. Mahinda could have someone file a PIL in the Supreme Court to challenge the decision of having frequent election with the taxpayer's money. In that way, the president could get over with the current crisis.

In India, it is Shiv Sena; in Ceylon, it is Srisena challenging the ruling party. When the entire opposition of Sri Lanka had gone weak and ineffective, the challenge comes from within. Don't assume that there would be no challenge. Challenge is always there.

Sarath Fonseka is not an effective politician. This Srisena, the very first move is very effective. Srisena offer the Prime Minister post to Ranil. That is the best move. If Rajapaksa could break that deal, it would go advantage to Rajapaksa; otherwise, Rajapaksa couldn't stop the momentum.

India influence all the neighbors; The people of India voted against family rule; that action would influence Sri Lanka.

The world would have ignored the election in Sri Lanka had there been no surprise. But now, the world is watching closely the developments in Sri Lanka.

Mahinda Rajapaksa could declare himself as a King and could continue with the family rule. But in the name of democracy, Mahinda Rajapaksa could not continue with his usual style.

Looking at the challenge of Imran Khan in Pakistan, Mahinda Rajapaksa had decided to go for an early election. That action, that is born out of fear; that action itself is bringing Mahinda Rajapaksa down.

Growth & Inflation

It ia applicable for all institutions; religious, social, political, spiritual, business organizations. With political example, it would be easier to understand the movement and could understand the distinction between growth and inflation.

Growth & Inflation.

Growth happens naturally; the environment is clean from pollution; soil is fertile; water is flowing; plants grow naturally. You don't need to work hard. The growth may not be obvious and noticeable; but natural.

It is so sad; we need to define what is natural. The other day, one person said, he would like to go to Las Vegas; but not Grand Canyon. The reason he said, he doesn't like nature; he likes only woman. That person fails to realize the fact that, not only woman but also all human beings are part of the nature.

In today's arts, culture, cinema - you don't see a villain character; every character looks like Rama and Krishna. You don't see Ravana or Dhurioyadhana. Even in movies, there is no villan like Pran, Prem Chopra, Amjad Khan. In today's world, if you try to make a movie like Sholay, you would easily get lot of Dharmendra; lot of Amitab Bacchan; lot of Hema Malini; but no Amjad Khan. It is very difficult to find a villain.

Even villain characters had been projected as hero. For instance, Kamal in Nayakan; Rajni in Baasha; Ocean 11 series.

Everything happens in super high speed; leaders couldn't even realize the movement of their organization; whether it is going up or going down. Speed matters; not the direction. When you walk, even if you fall down, it would be easier to recover. When you are moving in superhigh speed, there is no chance of recovery.

Inflated balloon is so attractive; everybody loves it; but it doesn't last longer.

Around 1999, United States America economy was in a boom. People were invested in any company. The boom couldn't sustain; it went into bust. In fact, the CEO was happy about the bust. They could relax; they could take a look into their own organizations. They were surprised to find so many truths about their own organization.

One CEO was surprised and shocked. There were 600 persons were occupied with the responsibilities of recruiting engineers, managers for their organization. Then the CEO asked, what was their daily job; what did they do everyday for all these years. The CEO learnt that, almost everyday, each recruiter used to recruit 75 persons for various positions. Over the period, the organizations were burdened with employees; the salary & benefit bill was eating away all the profits they earned. The CEO had to lay off huge number of employees.

Even after several years, that organization couldn't recover from their early mistakes.

Also, you need to understand the human character and behavior of this generation. In general, human beings are not loyal to any body or to any organization. All they see is challenges and opportunities.

A decade ago, there were two religions in the technology world. One religion was Microsoft Windows. The other was Sun Microsystems Unix. They used to hate one another; literally,  engineers used to engage in war of words.

Now, both religions were gone. It is all virtual and cloud. So, no engineer need not be loyal to any organization. In fact, there is a thin line of difference between slavery and loyalty. Now, nobody is loyal or slave to anybody.  Everybody enjoys total and complete freedom. In freedom, they could easily move from one organization into another.

In this case,  Arvind Kejriwal team got rid of this person; so, less suffocation in Arvind Kejriwal's camp. This person is now got into BJP. BJP is burdened and polluted with garbage.

Pollution would be quick. In fact, for several thousand years, River Ganga was clean; it must have taken a very short period of few years to get River Ganga polluted.

In today's world, even if you fix a strict rules such as; you need serve as a sevak in RSS for five years to get a seat in election; and you need to serve in Indian military for five years to become a minister in state and central cabinet. People would ready to go through the process.

In United States, the presidential candidate used to be Vietnam or Korean war veterans. They might have joined in the military to escape from their daily boredom life. But when they become candidate, they might say, as if they had joined military to serve the country.

It is easier to manage a global organization. You appoint a person as a regional authority; assign responsibility to manage the region; have that person accountable for the performance of that region; or for the failure of that region.

In Indian political scenario, you cannot apply this management strategy. When you authorize a person for a region, soon that person may emerge as a strong leader. Then that person may challenge the central leadership.

On the other hand, if you don't provide authority for regional leaders, then they couldn't perform and they may bring down the entire organization with their non-performance.

Right now, if you have an election for the central government, perhaps the Modi magic would get less number of seats than the present.

They keep talking; but not delivered yet. They may say that, congress didn't deliver for 60 years as an excuse. It would be better for the nation, if they could work on a limited scope of managing the central government.

Lean body performs better. Fat and inflated body could become a burden to the entire nation.

Democracy & Manufacturing


A few observations:

  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech in english
  • It is good; very impressive; could have done in US & UN
  • With world leaders, Narendra Modi is friendly & feel comfortable
  • Lot of smile; hand-shakes; selfie; photographer; hug
  • In India, no hand-shake with his cabinet team; even on their swearing-in
  • In Australia parliament, Modi appreciated the democracy.
  • Modi said, in parliament, both ruling & opposition come together
  • In Lok Sabha, Modi doesn't even have eye contact with any MP
  • In India, they didn't invite the Prime Minister for Nehru celebration
Modi made a USP - Unique Selling Proposition. That is, India is the only democratic country with manufacturing facility.

Modi tried to say; China is not a democracy; India is a democracy. So, Australia as a democratic nation better come to India for your manufacturing needs.

It will not work. 


 Traditionally, the following nations are for manufacturing:

  • Singapore
  • Malaysia
  • Taiwan
  • China
  • South Korea
  • and Japan
In the above list, except Japan, all other nations are not democracy.

In fact, democracy means freedom. Freedom and manufacturing do not go together. 

Communism; workers union & manufacturing go together.

So, it is a curse on China; for this century, they need to manufacture goods for the rest of the world.

It is not a gift; it is a curse on China.



India has already crossed that bridge.

Modern India is all about freedom; India will never go back to manufacturing.

America would never go back to manufacturing. Likewise, India also would never go backward.

Right now, innovation happens in America:

  • idea
  • concept
  • Leonardo da vinci like diagram
  • industrial design
  • prototype
  • then handover the manufacturing to China and other far-east countries.
India is in that position.

In all other countries, political leaders made a policy decision and because of that, those nations did move forward. In India, political leaders played minimum role; it's all citizens did move forward on their own; as a result, the country India moving forward.
_________________________________________________

In current India, if Boeing come to India for manufacturing; Indian youth may not be very enthusiastic in joining in Boeing.

The Indian youth may ask, "What is the job?"

Boeing may say, "Building a seat for aeroplane. It may take a week for you to build one seat. In a month, you may build four seats. In a year, you may build around 50 seats."

Doing the same, repetitive job; Indian youth may not be interested in it. In youth's perspective, it is not Boeing; it is Borrrrrring.
______________________________________________________

If you follow the history, in 1930, America was in Great Depression.

Then, in 1940, Nazi was all about manufacturing; built lot of weapons; automobiles; and scientific development.

Britain asked America for help. America didn't have enough resources to build weapons to manage Hitler. But, Americans built RADAR.

In MIT, Americans built the radar system; which could scan and give information about the movements of Hitler military. Information on real time was the key to victory.

Hitler had large army; but Churchill had information about the movement of Hitler military.

From then on, information on real time is very critical for business, government and other service sectors too.
________________________________________________________

By that time, Peter Drucker, Albert Einstein and so many others landed in America.

Peter Drucker developed Management.

Japan; the political leaders of Japan; they wanted to develop Japan; they wanted to develop management skills for their youth. 

The Japan policy was; bring management materials in Japanese language; bring management experts to Japan and give training to Japanese executives. In that way, they didn't send their entire population to America and lost the Japanese culture. Without destroying their culture, Japan could develop.

South Korea policy was mixed; they send their executives for short term to America and come back and work for the nation.

China policy. no management; just large volume for cheap labor. In fact, China didn't develop in human index; economic index may have gone up. The Chinese population have became more towards slavery. 
______________________________________________________
Indian growth and development is not by any policy or by any planned one.

It's totally natural and organic. 

If an Indian know 26 alphabets of English; noun; verb; adjective; that's enough. That Indian is qualified to go to America. 

On top of that, if that Indian could take a training on any computer program; not from IIT or IISc; just around the corner; or inside a neighbor house; four or five students; learn the syntax; ready for body shopping.

Narayana Murthy, Wipro, TCS - all body shopping companies were eagerly waiting for placing you in Cisco, Apple, Google, in San Francisco bay area.

The poor Indian; poor in computer knowledge; as well as in wealth; undergo massive transform, on the job. The first paycheck transform their house in India; in a year, that person learns a lot; could challenge a Ph.D from Stanford.

These Indian youths, as they work in Information Technology, they have to work closely with the top-executives. Now, on the job, they start learning about management from their managers. In two to three years, they become manager; then CEO.

Do you expect them to wear Khaki shorts and work in a factory; no way.

Make in India is not a good policy for this decade. Leave it to China; let them make.

Just like America; let us enjoy freedom. 
Free person only could innovate; let us innovate; let China make.

It is a curse for China to make for the entire world population. It is a lot of burden on the people of China. 

So, Democracy & Manufacturing do not go together.

Democracy & Innovation go together.
Slavery & Manufacturing go together.

Modi, the Rockstar


Narendra Modi, the Rockstar from India.

In the whole wide world, only Narendra Modi could perform like a rockstar in front of the desi audiences. Nobody else could do it.

Barack Obama couldn't perform in front of overseas Americans. Overseas Americans earlier served in Iraq; now in Afghanistan.  Barack Obama could not go into an auditorium in Kabul and perform like a rockstar in front of US Soldiers.

Overseas Sri Lankans live all part of the world. President Rajapakse could not meet those overseas Sri Lankans and perform in front of them. In fact, President Rajapakse would be happy, if they don't greet him with Eelam posters and flags.

Overseas Chinese live all part of the world. They broke their connection with mainland China. They would never go back or even visit China. In fact, they change their name into George or Jim.

Most of the overseas citizens left their motherland for good. They had to leave their nation and seek asylum in other nations.

Only Indians; they have left India looking for better life. Life in India was not bad; but still they would like to have the best.

This generation; there is no love for mother India. They came to Australia just like that. Do they transform into Australian; no way; they continue to be Indian; form their own community; and have friends only with them. Only the desi population talk about dual citizenship.

For them, it is just another rockstar performance. Don't take this crowd serious.

Eelam crowd is a very serious one. Even those people; they are now well established in Canada; London and so many places. They will not return to Jaffna. They may raise their voices for freedom and liberty; but their next generations would not leave Canada; and they will not even imagine to go back to Ceylon.
_____________________________________________________

This may be the first time in history, a nation leader is referred to as a rockstar. Many political leaders came from entertainment industry. For instance, MGR, Ronald Reagan, Arnold Swarznegar.

MGR is known as revolutionary leader in politics; not as a rockstar.

Somehow, even in Indian politics; as well as in world politics; no politician even try to follow the model of Modi. Barack Obama doesn't try to do any rockstar performance; not Putin; not the Chinese leader.

The truth is;

Aung San Suu Kyi said to reporters in the manicured garden of her lakeside villa here, with Mr. Obama standing beside her. “I always warn against over-optimism because that could lead to complacency. The reform process is going through, let us say, a bumpy patch.”

The president acknowledged that Myanmar, also known as Burma, was falling short in several key respects, including its refusal to amend a constitutional provision that makes Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi ineligible to run for president, as well as its unwillingness to curb the violence against the Muslim Rohingya minority in the country’s west.

Myanmar’s long journey to democracy, Mr. Obama said, is “by no means complete or irreversible.”

That is a powerful political statement; in fact the truth; from two world leaders. 

That is what matters in the world political leaders meeting.
______________________________________________________

Russian President Vladimir Putin got a blunt message when he approached Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper for a handshake at Group of 20 summit in Brisbane, Australia.

“I guess I’ll shake your hand but I have only one thing to say to you: you need to get out of Ukraine,” Harper told Putin.
______________________________________________________
Indian Prime Minister avoids these kind of conflict. If world political leaders shy away from political realities and would just like to have a fun time; then who would talk about world problems. 

One good thing is; at least, other world leaders act with political responsibility, not only for their nation; but also for the entire world.

What is Obama's problem about Burma's democracy. But Obama does act with larger responsibility.
Obama also engaged in his rockstar performance for the last six years. Now Obama has only two more years. This is the first time, Obama stop distinguishing the congress man and woman as democrats or republicans. Obama is prepared to work with all Senators.

May be in his second term, Modi may engage in serious political service; not rockstar performance.

From Corruption to Confusion



Until a few months ago, India was in a state of Corruption. Now it is in a state of Confusion.

There are so many words have been used for corruption; let us categorize them:

  • common men and women facing corruption in their daily life
  • donations to political party
  • large scale theft such as 2G
  • local business person evade tax
  • overseas business person investment abroad
Corruption in daily life of common citizen; no Prime Minister could fix this menace. Citizen have to go through this sufferings on daily basis. Paying bribe to traffic police and so on; these are all happening on small scale; but on a very high volume; this cannot be eliminated in India.

In United States, these small scale corruption is not happening. They may have large scale corruption in Washington; but not in local government.

So, in India, the local government system has to be strengthened. It has to be empowered and made effective.

Right now, a traffic policeman in Kanyakumari city is recruited by the Tamilnadu State Police department in Chennai. How could a manager, sitting in Chennai could effectively manage a traffic policeman in Kanyakumari. So, this ineffective government organizational setup is the root cause for corruption in daily life.

In United States, local government have police authority; they manage traffic; stampede; domestic violence; and other small crimes. Then the State police force; FBI, they come into picture for larger crimes.

So, fix the government setup. Just talking about corruption is no good.



Then, donations to political parties. Radha Timbo is in the list. Radha Timbo donated money to political parties. A few decades ago, political parties used to beg for money from the public. Nowadays, they don't ask for any donations from the public. Only Arvind Kejriwal asks for donation; not other poltical parties.

Even communists have enough asset to run their political party. They used to beg for money by standing in the street corners with their tin box. Also, they used to raise money by selling their books. Not any more.

Arvind Kejriwal wasted all his donations. Arvind Kejriwal received donations in dollars; but with his irresponsible acts like, contesting against Narendra Modi in Varanasi; just wasted all those hard-earned dollars of NRIs.

So, donations from business houses are no longer considered as bribes; and these amount doesn't qualified to be considered as corruption.
_________________________________________________________

Then 2G. In fact, we need to be thankful to those persons involved in 2G. It is an innovation in corruption.   Until the CAG released the figure like 1.7 lakhs of crores; nobody could; even in their wild imagination could arrive at that fantastic number. It is huge; it is beyond imagination; nobody could realize the hidden potential of Wi-Fi. It is a fact like E=mc2. Even other countries come to realize the huge potential. They should be awarded; not with punishment.

2G doesn't qualify to be categorized as corruption. No body gave money to anybody to achieve any result. It is a wealth; wealth of the nation; they stole the wealth; it is a theft. They may be charged under the category of robbery or theft.
__________________________________________________________

Local business person evade tax. A huge educated community is actively engaged in this activity. In United States, the tax professionals make sure that their clients pay the right tax to the government.

In India, the Chartered Accountants and other tax professionals make sure that their clients pay the minimum tax to the government. Fix this CA community; black money in India will be gone completely.

In fact, Indian business person have no knowledge about avoiding tax. These CA associates do all that tricks; the business person just sign the documents. So, have a strict audit on the licence of these CA professionals.

So, far, no governments have understood the problems; and they have not taken any action against this internal black money issue.

All other country political leaders suggest India; first fix your internal black money and tax system; then you could worry about foreign investment.
__________________________________________________________

Overseas business person and their investment abroad.

It is the usual conflict between have and have not.

Compare to those overseas business persons, Ram Jethmalani, Subramanian Swamy & Arvind Kejriwal are have not.

These have not, cannot generate any wealth; they live their life on others wealth.

Look at their profession; lawyers. Lawyers don't generate any wealth.

In fact, in ancient India, there were no profession called lawyers. Only the British created this profession. Then Indians followed the British. Right from Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Jinna, Nehru and so many others; they went to London; not to study engineering or doctor; just the law.

The British created the Magna Carta and the entire judicial system. They had to create Magna Carta; because of their ineffective King. The King was not delivering justice; so the citizens had to take the Judicial authority away from the King.

King Pandyan was an effective king. When Kovalan was brought to the court of King Pandyan; the king, based on the evidence present; immediately gave his judgment; and Kovalan was executed.

There were no lawyers; lawyers are interpreters to the judge. The king didn't need any interpreter. The king could directly communicate with the accused. So, there were no public prosecutors to represent Kovalan.

Even Kannghi didn't look for any lawyer. Kannaghi went to the court directly; and presented her case to the king.
______________________________________________________
Just observe an overseas business person. Without coming to a conclusion; just observe.

For instance, let us take Shibulal of Infosys.

Shibulal have invested in apartments abroad; gets rental income  out of these apartments; pays taxes on those rental income in those countries. Out of that income, Shibulal may have bought new apartments too.

So, overseas business person may not be keeping all their wealth in savings account; they may invested in business abroad; properties abroad; stocks and shares abroad.

You may question; the source of income for the initial investment; when Shibulal bought the first apartment in Seattle, what was the source of income.
________________________________________________________
In general, just ask a simple question to the travellers at the departure section of the international airport.

How much dollar do you carry? How do you plan to manage your expenses abroad?

When you go for US Visa, they do ask this question. So, let Indian Government ask this question.

When Siviaji or MGR made pictures abroad, they used to go to RBI and ask for exchange. RBI may authorize a certain amount of dollars to them; they need to manage their expenses within that amount.

Nowadays, nobody goes to RBI and ask for exchange. They just board the plane without any worry about any budget.

Things have changed a lot. Even Ram Jethmalani spends months in stay in abroad. It is impossible to keep track of all the wealth movement.

All Indian TV channels are available in United States; do they make income in dollars.

Bitcoin is now popular. Moreover, people have started practicing the traditional indian business model; i give you hardware; you give me the software; no money transaction involved. Exchange of materials.
________________________________________________________

So, the current government is in a state of confusion.

Corruption & Mismanagement

Had it happened in Uttar Pradesh; or Bengal; or Tamilnadu; or Kerala; by this time, the Home Minister Rajnath Singh would have made several calls to the Chief Minister; Governors; Chief Secretaries.

Indira Gandhi formula is the best for India. We rule Delhi; you manage your state.

This Chattisgarh tragedy must be the topic of discussion in Australia.

In general, throughout the world, political leaders commit two mistakes:

  • Corruption
  • Mismanagement
Corruption is now under control. Very powerful communication tools have brought awareness in people; people could identify any corrupt practices at the very beginning. 

Political leaders also have realized the value of integrity; and the value of good character.  Mostly family members manage wealth; by doing some legitimate business. Wealth is no longer an issue for political leaders.

Besides that, the law is effective; most of the corrupt political leaders had been to jail. Also there are ways to recover the wealth back from the corrupt political leaders.

So, corruption is not an issue at all for this century.

Mismanagement is a serious issue. Loss of lives because of mismanagement is a serious criminal offense.

Loss of lives may happen in many ways:
  • War - George Bush sent the US military to Iraq & Afghanistan
  • Terrorism - Attack on World Trade Center
  • Flood, Cyclone, Fire, Tsunami, EarthQuake and other natural calamities
  • Conflict in the border areas
  • Road, Bus, Train and Air accident
  • Stampede in festival
  • Naxal menace
  • Communal violence & riots
  • Rape and murder
  • and Chattisgarh Sterilisation tragedy
War. Political leaders do know that their soldiers will die. People join in the military are prepared to die. So you cannot avoid that death.

Terrorism. It is a challenge. You cannot blame political leader.

Natural calamities. Political leaders do take cautious measures to minimize the damage. Nothing to blame.

Conflict in the border areas. It cannot be avoided.

Road, Bus and other accidents - you cannot blame political leader.

Stampede. Political leader could take steps to manage it.

Naxal meance. It is a challenge to all.

Communal violence. Nowadays, political leaders stay away from them.

Rape and murder. Unless the political leader is directly involved, you cannot blame them.

Chattisgarh Sterilization tragedy. No need for judicial enquiry. Nothing to enquire.
Dead bodies are there. It is obvious.

When corrupt leaders go to jail; leaders, who mismanaged the government also have to go to jail.

The dead are not going to coming back live; but there should be a punishment.

Resignation will do no good. Go to jail and go through the punishment process.

Corruption is non-issue compare to loss of lives.

Where is Doctor Subramanian Swamy.

For a single woman death, Dr. Swamy gives his whole time & energy.
Now, Dr. Swamy couldn't open his eyes and see the truth in this tragedy.

Political Responsibility


Just three hundred years ago, founding fathers of America talked about separation of power; responsibility; delegation; federal, state and local governments.

In ancient India, they built a wonderful system.

  • Brahma - the creator
  • Vishnu - the protector
  • Siva - the destroyer
In software technology, you may talk about constructor and destructor. Our ancestors had understood the need for a destroyer.

Absolutely clear separation of power. All three have political responsibility; political authority; and they are accountable for their actions.

Then they have,
  • Saraswathi - education
  • Lakshmi - wealth
  • Parvathi - courage
No confusion at all. Clear separation of responsibilities.

They did have local governments too.
  • Meenakshi ruled the Madurai
  • Kamatchi - for Kanchi
  • Vishalakshi - for Kasi
In the above political structure, do you see any one having;
  • Economic Responsibility
  • Economic Authority
  • Economic Accountability
Some how, this generation is totally confused. Why do they run after economic development. If they are busy in building economical wealth, then who would manage the political responsibility of the nation.

People elected leaders have,
  • Political Responsibility
  • Political Authority
  • Political Accountability
Our political leaders running away from their political commitment.

In ancient Indian system, as well as in literature, there is nothing great about economic development. Business system was there; even in that business also, they preached high moral value.
  • economy
  • capitalism
  • socialism
  • corruption
These theories were invented and promoted by Adam Smith & Karl Marx.

So, this is the order of emergence of the subjects:
  • politics
  • economics
  • management
"End of Economic Men," was the first book, Peter Drucker published. When the whole Europe adopted Karl Marx, Peter Drucker saw the false in that system and highlighted.

Then, Peter Drucker studied General Motors and published the book, "Concept of the Corporation."

The reviewers said, this book covers the political structure of an organization; but it doesn't qualify to be considered as a politics subject.

The reviewers also said, this book covers the economical part of an organization; but it doesn't qualify to be considered as an economics subject.

Then they said, this may be a new discipline; that is how the 'management' was born.

So, Amitabh Bachchan,  Rajinikant, Kamalhasan have responsibility in film arts.

Narayana Murthy, Tata, Birla, Ambani have responsibility in business development.

Gavaskar, Sachin and other sports persons have responsibility for sports development.

Political leaders have political responsibility and responsible for political development.

Sachin cannot sing and dance in movies.
Rajinikant cannot score 264 in one day match.
Narayana Murthy cannot take responsibility for Chattisgarh  tragedy.

All professions are dignified ones.

When a barber, takes his instruments on hand; the barber checks the cleanliness; sharpness of the instruments; with passion.

Highly educated doctors; lost all their senses; couldn't even verify the instruments; drugs; and other conditions.

Dear Political Leaders, please listen.

Nobody is going to question you about the profit and loss account of Indian nation. Nobody is going to blame you for the heavy loss in the budget or nation's balance sheet.

You have no economic responsibility.

All you have is, political responsibility. 

The obvious highlighted political issues of India:
  • Chattisgarh tragedy
  • Voice vote of confidence in the Maharashtra assembly
  • Frequent election such as, Delhi
The rest of the world asks simple question:

You could place a satellite in its orbit in Mars; but you cannot do a simple medical surgical operation.
