Indian Sub-Continent – Independence Day Celebration 2014
August 16, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Independence day celebrations in Pakistan on August 14 and India on August 15 provides opportunity to reflect on the journey traveled since patriots’ martyrdom.
National governance representative of mainstream population viz. the middle class, lower income, poorest of the poor, marginalized, ostracized and disenfranchised in society would constitute republic status rather than the rich, famous and powerful class prevalent dominance.
The system represented by political parties with power sharing among family members conforming to dynasty rule and other factions headed by celebrities from the entertainment and economic sectors for decades denying genuine people voice is far from being democratic besides contributing to the widening gap between the haves and have-nots in the country.
Notwithstanding the domestic and foreign interests groups control further exacerbates suffering and undermine sovereignty.
India and Pakistan citizens are deprived of fairness and equality in the ever increasing foreign influence and intrusion in politics, military and economic decisions promoting subjugation and polarization to benefit hegemony.
Both nations are also confronted with economic woes, security concerns related to preventable cross border tensions, terrorism and widespread violence prohibiting peaceful co-existence.
Another important factor arguably remaining major hindrance in rapid growth and development is corruption, tax evasion and wealth amassment.
The deposits in overseas bank accounts, tax havens and shelter cost taxpayers trillions of dollars that could otherwise eliminate abject poverty, curable disease and illiteracy in addition to building and improving infrastructure.
In the absence of transparency and accountability due to complicity amongst political establishment, the epidemic of corruption depleting national treasury facilitates black money circulation and money laundering through diverse means especially during election ironically declared as free and fair process.
Furthermore, those involved in corruption deals and scandals continue to make fortune at the vast majority expense. The entities are protected with immunity legitimizing their activities despite significant loss to the economy.
Utilizing political position as Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA), Member of Parliament (MP) in the lower or upper house and higher up in the hierarchy they are exempt from judicial probe and appropriate applications of the law that apparently exists only for average citizens nationwide.
Politics intolerance to alternative perspectives and constructive dialogue confirms insecurity not to mention the measures to curb authentic dynamism demonstrates subversion of democracy.
The lack of political will to serve the nation and electorate granting power evident in the stagnant or deteriorating conditions experienced by people across the spectrum.
The economic trend within affluent category restricts the possibility for pervasive progress.
National advancement leaving behind none would guarantee sustainable prosperity.
The contemporary setting premised on exploitation and segregation jeopardizes economic potential considering the impact on collective output.
India and Pakistan relationship as allies instead of adversaries is essential for economic trade, cultural exchange and importantly addressing terror infiltration or militancy in Kashmir and other parts of the country.
Regional friction unnecessarily creates problems with divestments in defense budget alongside declining basic necessities like clean water, air, health care, education, housing, agriculture and employment.
Remembering freedom fighters would be meaningful upon fulfilling the dreams they envisioned for the nation. Such accomplishments would honor their sacrifice.
Best Wishes to citizens in India and Pakistan in reaching milestones with ordinary people empowerment leading to a promising future.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – Politics Governed By Deception And Misrepresentation is Destructive
May 29, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Indian political system premised on plutocracy comprising affluent members from dynasty, economic sector and performers from television and film industry pledged allegiance to hegemony agenda promotes self-destructive ideology and misrepresentation through innuendoes resulting in inevitable disaster especially for those in collusion in any manner.
The willful misconduct in adherence to internal and external sources ill-advised strategy would mean kamikaze indulgence with ripple effect on the entire establishment.
The political structure marred with corruption and third of elected members admittedly from criminal background besides false disclosure on educational qualifications and personal data misleading constituents and nation confirm the lack of integrity known to be a rare commodity in politics.
Notwithstanding the foreign national led faction as the extension of imperialism having depleted treasury and led the nation towards unprecedented setbacks in every respect eclipse the prospects for a new beginning.
Unfortunately the elements espousing detrimental aspirations in cooperation with unscrupulous enterprise pose hindrance in India’s ability to rise and reach milestones at the expense of vast majority in the country.
The elected government headed by Prime Minister Narender Modi with massive political capital is subject to litmus test on the courage and determination to eliminate the epidemic of corruption, black money recovery and tax evasions arguably suppress growth and development despite the work force tremendous potential.
Last but not the least investigation and accountability without exceptions commencing with beneficiaries of Bofor scandal leading to scams up until now has burdened Indian economy and taxpayers in liabilities not to mention the depravation of national revenue denied billion population fair economic opportunity.
The ruling party tasked by the electorate to prove the political will in the crack down on corruption culture evidently corrosive and defy logic, legality and ethics.
Unlike the predecessor governance alluding to authoritarianism in the past decade that had little or zero tolerance to constructive analysis and alternative perspectives on government counterproductive policies or decisions,
The present authority respect for freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and individual rights barring negative smear campaigns and surveillance activity utilizing taxpayer funded contingency would clarify delineation from dysfunctional and defective politics.
India moving forward with due recognition for positive contributions is largely dependent on national preparedness to transcend parochial disposition and ancient caste system abrogation.
The hierarchy tradition notably degenerative and prevents the possibility for transformation into progressive egalitarian society.
Politics in particular exploiting religion, ethnicity and diverse orientation under the guise of secularism is behind tensions and communal divide nationwide.
The state and hegemony controlled communication media and press corps predominantly engaged in deflection of public attention from real issues to manufactured and fabricated events evade transparency.
The relentless pursuit targeting truth seekers and speakers being the voice for the voiceless and defenseless is the political trend to stifle challenge seeking fundamental change.
India’s independence would be verifiable upon disinheritance of foreign imposed subservience as dominion republic emerging to be reliable power in meeting expectations at every level.
Best Wishes to the marginalized and disenfranchised demography in the achievement of fairness and equality in the persistently exclusive political apparatus.
Peace to all!
Tbank you.

India – Ethics in Politics
May 25, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Indian election is over and the winning political parties along with opposition are being sworn to various posts in the legislative assembly.
Meanwhile the relevant data released by National Election Watch (NEW) and Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) confirm that every third newly elected MP has a criminal case.
According to the report the trend in the election of parliament members with criminal charges disclosed in their affidavits exponentially higher in the 16th Lok Sabha i.e. the recently ended election.
Similarly the surge in 2009 was no less considering the influx of domestic and foreign funds in election campaign combined with the absence of accountability invalidating electability criteria.
Among 541 from 543 elected members – 186 otherwise 34 percent are declared to have criminal cases against them in the current electoral outcome with a sharp 4 percent increase than earlier.
The statistics reveal that out of 186 winning members in the latest Lok Sabha election with criminal charges –
112 or 21 percent of them acknowledged to have serious criminal cases notwithstanding murder, attempt to murder, responsible for communal clashes, abductions and crimes against women.
Furthermore, those with criminal background prevailing in the election evidently greater i.e. 13 percent compared with contestants in possession of clean record only having 5 percent winning chance.
Again 442 out of 543 i.e. 82 percent of winning candidates economic status is categorized as millionaires or crorepati.
Both major political parties – BJP 237 out of 281 – 84 percent and,
Congress 35 (80 percent) of 44 winners are millionaires / crorepatis not to mention the billionaires in the hierarchy.
As for the regional factions party wise – 29 (78 percent) of 37 winners in AIADMK and,
Trinamool Congress (TMC) 21 (62 percent) of 34 elected members admittedly have assets exceeding 1 crore / million or more.
The average asset for individual winner is Rs. 14.61 crore / million and each candidate including those losing elections is Rs. 3.16 crore.
BJP 281 successful candidates average wealth is Rs. 11.59 crore whereas 44 Lok Sabha representative for Congress average asset net worth Rs. 16.71 crore.
In terms of literacy in the just concluded election – the report highlights on one elected candidate as self-claimed illiterate.
Moreover 125 (23 percent) winners have educational qualifications Class 12 or below.
Simultaneously 405 (75 percent) are graduates and above.
On the age group – 202 (37 percent) fall in the age group 25 – 50 years.
298 (55 percent) are between 51 -70 years.
The remaining 41 elected are 71 and over.
The gender ratio difference is still substantial with 61 (11 percent) women elected to parliament with 543 seats despite the representation relatively better than the number – 57 women in 2009 election result.
Obviously the political reform encompassing appropriate standards to perform the constitutional duty as diligent capable lawmakers with credibility and integrity urgently required for proper understanding and implementation of laws demonstrating effective governance.
The disclosure is a reflection of the political system disconnect with mainstream reality.
The lack of transparency and political immunity facilitates tradition ignoring ethics and eligibility for the position in public office.
However, the new concept and framework will be provided in this context to improve efficiency and reliance on government role besides independence from hegemony dominance.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – General Election 2014 Result Review
May 19, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
India’s 2014 national election concluded with massive victory for Prime Ministerial candidate Narender Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) gaining absolute majority without coalition requirement to form government.
British Empire appointee Alan O. Hume founded Congress contemporarily headed by party chief Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and family experienced colossal defeat in the recent election.
Congress Party tallied 44 out of 543 seats in the Lower House aka Lok Sabha polls this year.
The party’s substantial decline attributed to numerous corruption scandals, black money in Swiss banks and tax havens, soaring inflation, high unemployment and violence against women besides terror attacks in Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore…in the past three years under Congress UPA2 governance.
Notwithstanding government clamp down on anti-corruption rally resulting in casualty and youth peaceful protest related to assault on women infiltrated by politically instigated anti-social elements caused police personnel death and left several injured in the capital, New Delhi.
Similarly the Congress party and regional allies nationwide suffered setbacks and failed to win any Lok Sabha seats from prominent states like Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir and more.
The electoral mandate is for fundamental change in political system transcending exclusivity and partisanship on social as well as economic issues dominant in the previous and the outgoing administration.
On the economic front, the politics prioritized campaign financiers interests and pursued external forces globalization agenda with little or no concern towards impact on local community.
The taxpayers funded government in the last decade was preoccupied in battling corruption charges and opposing anti-corruption law enactment.
Furthermore, the representation in Parliament was not inclusive and instead shared among the affluent, famous and powerful in society.
Accordingly, the political backlash against once regarded main party Congress and allies witnessed in 2014 election.
Indian electorate response understandably aimed at political reform with adequate mainstream participation in Parliament encompassing the marginalized and disenfranchised demography that could subsequently lead to fair income distribution, economic growth and development in areas long neglected due to lack of investment.
India’s progress confined to wealthy segments while the remaining citizens across the nation burdened with economic woes arguably influenced voter decision.
Additionally loss of national revenue from tax evasion and corruption contributed to large voter turnout rejecting those responsible for status quo.
Some states also set precedence in 2014 election expressing dissent on misuse of political capital denying those groups electability from the respective territory.
Nonetheless, the political structure is far from being perfected considering the reelection of some incumbents despite their involvement in high profile scams and investigations stifled to prevent exposure.
The constituents enabling the return of these candidacies perhaps expect different performance even though such anticipation earlier delivered disappointment maintaining the trend in empty promises on campaign trail and continuation of business as usual.
Indian election has provided unique possibility for real transformation in every frontier and Prime Minister-elect Narender Modi with BJP leaders and others support could realize goals for the entire nation leaving behind none in the process.
Congratulations and Best Wishes! To Prime Minister-elect Narender Modi, BJP and NDA alliance and political factions on the success and impressive record.
The roadmap for India’s rebirth will be presented in due course following the landmark election.
Jai Bharat!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – General Election 2014
April 25, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
Indian general election is underway with final outcome expected in Mid May 2014.
The two major political parties – the outgoing UPA 2 headed by the Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi and family and,
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) – the NDA together with regional partners seek re-election to retain control in the Indian political system.
Last but not the least is the introduction of the so-called Common Man Party (AAP) to discredit recommendation on this website for genuine mainstream political party.
The suggestion was made to offset prevalent plutocracy comprising celebrities, industrialists and political dynasty dominance deriving exclusive gains against national and republic interest.
The common man party with broom as mascot implies sly response to remark (again on this website) to clean up widespread corruption in India.
Such choice not only confirm the lack of seriousness in public service but also slight average citizens and middle class plight.
AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal – previously employed in Income Tax department is Congress nominee with hegemony sponsorship evident in campaign donations, political posturing and media promotion for the affiliate.
The relationship was formalized equivalent to tying the nuptial knots following the Delhi State Assembly election when AAP forged alliance with Congress to form government.
Subsequently AAP government resigned from power in Delhi State Assembly abandoning Delhi administration and electorate analogous to stood up bride with the distinction here being deserted by the groom with the broom at the marriage ceremony.
AAP leadership and associates are now on pilgrimage to the Holy City Varanasi perhaps on Kasi Yatra! – the journey often considered by those contemplating Sanyas or renunciation of worldly life although in this instance it might be retirement from politics.
Hopefully Kasi voyage is enlightening for AAP members and poet Kumar Viswas in particular in understanding Kasinath – the Visweshwar – God Shiva.
There are further revelations on Congress organized India against corruption (IAC) in 2011 with core members – Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, Arvind Kejriwal and Shanti Bhushan participation apparently to disqualify and derail authentic demand for effective anti-corruption law or Jan Lokpal bill encompassing Right to Recall among various other important measures that are required for political reform.
Accordingly, the IAC committee representatives owe valid explanation to the people and the nation at large having raised false hopes on graft legislation while the reality confirm collusion with political establishment and hegemony.
The desperate maneuvers from Congress to win third term considering the sharp decline in popularity due to soaring inflation, unemployment, numerous scandals, land scam deals and refusal on accountability in black money held in Swiss bank, Singapore, Dubai and several overseas tax haven and shelter clarify subversion for political salvation.
Similarly, the opposition BJP also shares controversial involvement at the regional and national level viz. the state of Karnataka and Rajasthan besides inaction to implement meaningful corruption remedy and investigation on tax evasion alluding to complicity with incumbency.
The security lapse conspicuous in the rampant crimes against women and terror attacks in Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore in the past three years notwithstanding allegations on members of armed forces deployed in northeastern states and Kashmir regarding abuse of special immunity shielding offenders from inquiry.
State interference at hegemony behest leading to the death of rape victim in New Delhi demonstrated disrespect for ordinary citizens life while other prominent members making mockery of victim and family pain and misery exemplified callousness ignoring ill consequences via bad karma.
Likewise UPA2 i.e. Congress response to anti-corruption rally in June 2011 authorizing excess force against unarmed and peaceful civilians not even sparing children, women and elders contributed to casualty with the demise of female attendee Rajbala and many severely injured in the violent crackdown.
Not to mention the shooting incident in coastal Kerala involving Italian marines Massimiliano Lattore and Salvatore Girone show the innocent fishermen lives are dispensable to the state and national leadership.
Hegemony influence and authority over Indian politics and economy substantially increased in the last decade.
The intervention undermines sovereignty rendering electoral mandate mere catharsis to legitimize the illegitimate proxy rule.
Furthermore the intrusion went beyond tradition bypassing the central government in New Delhi when U.S. former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held direct meetings with the State Chief Ministers Mamata Banerjee of West Bengal and Jayalalitha of Tamil Nadu to prove foreign discretion in discarding protocol.
The syndicate presence in India through communication media and entertainment industry for propaganda and misinformation intended to malign dissent on treason and mass deception.
Also included in the strategy is identity theft ascribing character to undeserving and contrarily for insinuations and enactments to stymie original entities in the divine mission.
Indian political structure nationwide premised on the next of kin succession to mantle of power defy democracy.
The alternative factions ruling states for decades exploit voter dilemma to choose between equally contentious options converting the situation mandatory rather than accessibility to viable representation.
The speculation on the current election is the possibility for coalition in the absence of absolute majority by any party.
The betting is on Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee, Jayalalitha of Tamil Nadu or former CM Mayawati of Uttar Pradesh even though all three of them like their counterparts carry excess political baggage pertaining to administrative negligence, corruption charges and misuse of power.
Indian political class with the rich, famous, royalty and dynasty safeguard own ambitions for wealth, power and prestige.
As a result the remaining 99% population deprived of fair political and economic opportunity reflective in the staggering number forced into abject poverty, hunger and disease.
Additionally the lower and middle-income categories are faced with economic struggles along side nepotism in both politics and work force.
The economically affluent could always serve the nation without being on taxpayer funded position, perks and privileges for that would determine individual integrity and selfless commitment to worthy cause.
Then there is hierarchy in caste, creed and diverse segregation with assertion from the self-proclaimed highest caste to appoint a member amongst untouchables for the key post in politics as a token of their magnanimity – a trait emulating colonial era.
Ironically such condescendence only highlights inherent flaws in human nature and the source indulgence in self-degradation.
The former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telegu Desam Party (TDP) leader Chandra Babu Naidu declared that the backward class member Krishnaiah would be the Chief Minister of the newly created Telangana state upon TDP emergence to power.
The ex-chief minister of Andhra Pradesh Chandra Babu Naidu overture perhaps emanates from massive suicides of farmers in the southern state during the term in office with the leadership prioritizing foreign ventures like Monsanto entry in agriculture business that led to tragic ending in the farming community unable to afford losses in the systemic misrepresentation by multinational corporation.
Relevantly, Congress unsuccessful attempts to implement the foreign direct investment (FDI) inviting the biggest retailer Wal-Mart and alike now pursued by BJP with the prime ministerial candidate Narender Modi touting support for the policy claiming to boost employment and economic growth.
Instead the political party intensive program to recover black money and offshore bank account holdings would exceed any foreign investment thereby protecting domestic retail industry and facilitating economic achievements in the immediate future.
On the nuclear power plant project in Koodankulam, Tamil Nadu – the central and state authorities typical reaction towards citizens on hunger strike is yet another example of politics loyalty to hegemony.
In foreign policy – Pakistan and China are regarded the problems based on territorial disputes, incursions and cross border tensions not barring militancy, Maoism and terror infiltration engaged in killing of Indian soldier such as decapitation in disguise – wearing Pakistani army uniform across the line of control (LOC) in Kashmir.
The events related to China are no different from skirmishes in the South and East China Sea together with United States pivot Asia stratagem and Korean peninsula heightened threats exacerbating regional security.
China economic status unfortunately is exalted in territorial annexation and arguably counterproductive for the nation dependent on neighbor and overseas market to maintain the manufacturing stronghold and productivity.
Hence, China’s recognition for India and other nations’ territorial integrity is critical for mutually beneficial economic trade and multifaceted dealings in the largest continent – Asia.
Whereas Pakistan is confronted with terror within the country and along borders adjoining Afghanistan, Iran, Bangladesh and India.
The reason behind Pakistan inability to contain terrorism is Saudi Arabia financing different terror networks and billion dollar monetary aid to Pakistan government, military as well as ISI personnel.
Moreover, decapitation is Saudi dynasty signature terror act witnessed in the kingdom and Saudi government recruited mercenaries in Syria.
The political, defense and intelligence apparatus bear collective responsibility to address burgeoning security crisis in Pakistan and adjacent areas in the Indian sub continent.
Pakistan perseverance to eliminate terror could eventually guarantee citizens safety inside and outside the country. The accomplishment would enable Pakistan to forge better relations with all shedding the reputation as failed state or terror refuge.
Simultaneously cash flow from Saudi Arabia and Ford foundation in the ongoing Indian election to the common man party (AAP), Congress, BJP and other political contenders appears to be open secret to preserve corruption culture in the convoluted version of free and fair election.
In conclusion India’s largest electorate an estimated 815 million casting ballots to elect political parties pledged allegiance to foreign conglomerate favoring power inheritance as entitlement and ideology in concurrence with polarization concept epitomize subjugation reviving the need for real independence and inclusive democratic rule.
Best Wishes to India for transformational progress touching the lives of the forgotten, forbidden and forlorn in the society.
Jai Bharat!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Bangladesh – Political Crises Resolution
January 5, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
The political unrest in the South Asian country, Bangladesh amid controversial Parliamentary election having claimed at least 160 lives and many injured is reflective of incumbent and opposition leaderships personal ambitions prioritized over national interest.
Bangladesh post independence in 1971 is yet to experience political stability along with economic and social developments especially among vast majority of struggling population.
Political systems premised on dynasty or hereditary accessions with other choice being candidacy exploiting relevant situation considering neither have addressed serious challenges confronting the nation during respective terms in office proves election a mere formality to legitimize authority.
Bangladesh ongoing turmoil emanating from the standoff between ruling government Awami League Party led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) under opposition leader Khaleda Zia evidently counterproductive.
Premier Sheikh Hasina administration authorized violent crackdown banning peaceful assembly and detention of political opponents in house arrest restricting movement conforms to appeasement of external sources using different nations as pawn to stir events in an attempt to create analogy for intended target viz. Thailand in the region despite the contrast in governance delineating latter from Bangladesh ruling authority.
However, the similarity between Thailand and Bangladesh opposition having served consecutively and failed to deliver on national issues except remaining focused in reclaiming power through party support instigating protests and general strike is also in adherence to foreign agenda causing political disturbance.
Unfortunately as a result of the current government and vying contenders self-centered aspirations in Bangladesh, the people are forced to bear economic losses and human toll increasing with government use of excess force and opposition determination to prolong turmoil in the state.
Instead the leaderships on both sides including other political factions outreach upholding constitution and democratic principles for national reconciliation setting aside differences would ease tensions and save lives from further confrontation.
The political consensus on common goals to revive republic rule with departure from power inheritance claiming entitlement and likewise plutocracy denying rest of the nation fair political representation is the viable option to end stalemate.
Bangladesh electorate predicament on two or multi party disposition to seize power and subsequent misuse of political mandate is an experience shared worldwide.
The breakthrough from such impasse perhaps possible with grassroots coalition forming political party with youth power emerging from disenfranchised and marginalized demography.
Since outside infiltration and their proxy rulers in the country stifle genuine popular front pledged to instrumental transformation in uplifting socio economic conditions and substitute with pseudo emulation to maintain status quo,
The requirement for new political groups beginning at local and national level is to disavow ties or affiliation with ruling class and political establishment to qualify as independent formidable force representing ordinary citizens across the spectrum in society.
National awakening rejecting politics espousing deception and betrayal of public trust due to foreign influence and domestic conventions could produce desirable outcome for the otherwise frustrated and disenchanted voters held hostage in the so-called democratic process.
Bangladesh could once again gain freedom from systemic abuse of power politics relieving nearly 100 million from generational subjugation and indebtedness towards meaningful existence with respect, dignity and prosperity for all.
Wishing striving Bangladesh citizens triumph in political, economic and social tribulation leaving behind traditional suppression of people power.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – Political Circus Beckon Electorate Disillusionment
December 16, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Indian politics – the embodiment of corruption spare no opportunity in the art of deception.
Since anti-corruption fervor in the country in 2011 leading up until now, the political establishments under foreign entities control have denied the vast majority life with dignity.
The nation with overwhelming population forced into abject poverty, hunger, disease and social inequality is suffocated with partisanship, false pride and traditional prejudice.
Human suffering exploited making mockery of victims in the so-called world’s largest democracy serving as the biggest hypocrisy in contemporary system.
India’s political class hypersensitivity to truth exposure surface upon inability to defend indefensible position deflecting public attention from real issues confronting the nation at large such as rampant corruption, high inflation, violence against women and inherent discriminatory practice creating hierarchical and parochial society.
The dynastic predisposition survives on cronyism with nepotism overriding meritocracy as the salient feature in the decadence culture.
Human lives and values regarded insignificant in the quest for power and affluence adopting any means to maintain status quo.
The political circus involving various performers at stakeholders behest defies intellect and integrity in mass betrayal.
Unfortunately for the participants sharing negative Karma as facilitators, the guilt burden on the soul and ill consequences would be proportional with sources behind myth to alleviate humanitarian plight in the country.
In the Who is Who Contest, recognition in this context is imperative to avert undesirable and disastrous outcome.
The latest developments in New Delhi, India on the anti-graft legislation and state assembly rule arguably reveal two sides of the coin are not necessarily different and designed to favor the declining empire.
Indian electorate especially the demography in the lower economic strata and middle income groups imposed with generational marginalization rising to the occasion and forming genuine political party viz. Jan Kalyan Party, Lok Kalyan Party, and Desh Pragati Party transcending gender and social bias in the title as well as mascot could initiate paradigm shift in political consciousness.
The abovementioned authentic mainstream party upon formation with selfless unsung contributors pledged to eliminate corruption and disparity for fair representation in every sector is the only alternative to prevalent despair and disenfranchisement nationwide.
Notwithstanding transparency and accountability from inception and beyond.
May the wheels of Karma and Dharma lead Bharat towards disillusionment for Mukti i.e. liberation.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – New Delhi State Assembly Polls And Political Establishments Opportunism
December 13, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The recent state assembly elections in New Delhi, India produced unprecedented outcome for ordinary citizens in political history.
Indian political system not without foreign control is stagnant with duopoly – the two major political parties viz. Congress from British India led UPA and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) along with various coalitions thus far failed to win absolute majority to govern most states and the nation at large.
Both parties and their alliances attracting rich celebrities from the entertainment and economic sector to represent a nation with significant population in abject poverty enduring social inequality yet to demonstrate capability and integrity considering plethora of scandals costing taxpayers horrendously due to massive corruption and dysfunctionality.
Congress Party headed by Mrs. Sonia Gandhi and son Rahul Gandhi with Ministers P. Chidambaram and counterparts evading accountability on numerous corruption charges suffered severe setbacks in the latest provincial elections across the country.
Similarly BJP identified as fundamentalists behind communal riots proportionately share corruption related political losses predominantly in the southern region.
In Delhi polls, the emergence of common man party known as Aam Admi Party (AAP) – the offshoot from anti-graft movement launched in 2011 under activist leader Anna Hazare defeated the ruling congress party ousting the Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit criticized for 2010 New Delhi Common Wealth Games corruption and funds mismanagement.
The AAP founder Arvind Kejriwal and associates performance bewildered BJP and Congress party sowing the seeds for possible political transformation at the local and national level.
Delhi State Assembly with 70 seats currently split among BJP 32, AAP 28, Congress 8 and 2 Independent likely to join BJP in the post election.
In the absence of clear winner to govern the state, New Delhi is faced with possibility of President rule or undesirable partnerships between the leading parties and runner up Congress and alternatively holding re-election for decisive victory.
Although BJP maintains marginal lead over newcomer AAP, the former resigning to opposition position is a political maneuver and AAP teaming up with Congress would be reversal of hard earned achievement for the common man party.
Congress and BJP as the political establishments essentially favor one another and poised to maintain status quo.
BJP political posturing to address corruption and failure to deliver in action while leaving the matter to ruling Congress confronted with public anger and frustration over various issues primarily anti-corruption law i.e. Jan Lokpal bill, inflation and rising violence against women confirm the lack of commitment to national interest.
Besides, BJP refusal to participate in no confidence vote against UPA Congress further proves the dual party agreement to defend each other during crises at national expense denying electorate fair political representation.
BJP success largely attributed to Congress dismal trajectory and hence remains the default option.
The dilemma for Indian voters to choose between the two unpopular parties tainted with evidence based allegations could be overcome in forming and promoting mainstream political party – Jan Kalyan Party (JKP)/ Lok Kalyan Party (LKP), Desh Pragati Party (DPP) or National Progress Party (NPP) nationwide through citizens financing candidacies possessing verifiable record dedicated to national and humanitarian service.
Among them, unlike conventional practice seeking fame and fortune and subsequently entering politics for power and prestige, the people party representation with selfless unsung heroes and geniuses would delineate them from political class in modern age.
Social activism alone might be effective when elected representatives abide by constitutional oath to serve constituents and nation resisting domestic and foreign incentives and pressure to commit treason and betray citizens’ trust.
Since traditional politics prioritize personal benefits over national future, the youth drive energizing the rest of the nation via Jan Kalyan Party / Lok Kalyan Party, Desh Pragati Party (DPP) or National Progress Party could be the beacon of hope to dispel the myth on contemporary choices showcased with fancy packaging containing obsolete product.
Mahatma Gandhi’s Satyagraha and followers political involvement together enabled India’s independence from foreign rule.
The rift in national group i.e. Shri Anna Hazare loyalists and AAP members pledged to contain corruption and other problems serve none except facilitate exploitation for declining powers seeking opportunity.
Indian mass preparedness and engagement for revolutionary change in politics transcending dynasty, nepotism and affluence dominance is the preliminary step towards egalitarianism with political and economic freedom.
Wishing people power in India vigor and vitality for republic governance upholding democratic values and righteousness as the foundation in nation building illumining lives with knowledge and exemplary talent.
Jai Bharat!
Peace to India!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

India – Freedom Struggle and Journey to Independence
August 21, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Swatantrata Diwas Ki Shubh Kamnaye! (Happy Independence Day!) To people in Bharat.
India’s independence Day is observed on August 15 marking the annual event as Remembrance Day in patriots and great leaders honor for their sacrifices to liberate the nation from almost three and a half centuries old colonialism.
East India Company consisting European traders arrived in India in 1606 and subsequent colonization of Indian sub-continent resulted in slavery, illiteracy, poverty and disease due to worst economic and social conditions with colonizers appointment of personnel imported from their country of origin to replace local work force and allocating tasks that were considered menial or less important by them to domestic labor market.
British imperialism deploying divide and conquer strategy prevalent until today targeted cultural heritage and communal harmony in asserting supremacy on the land of mysticism where religion originated with Hinduism from which emanated other faiths viz. Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism constituting secularism alongside accepting different religious denominations such as Islam, Christianity and Judaism spread through proselytism and the remaining like Zoroastrianism via migration.
The freedom struggle was the test of time with colonial power unrelenting to peaceful resistance and non-violence movement led by pioneer of peace Mahatma Gandhi along with many notable statesmen and women.
Most importantly ordinary citizens from all walks of life rising to the occasion to free the country long enslaved and deprived of dignity ended authoritarianism.
However, British Raj having depleted India of its resources and invaluable possessions upon departure embarked on balkanization leaving millions dead and scores rendered refugees with creation of Pakistan.
With partition as parting gift, the British empire diligently sowed the seeds of rivalry between the two neighbors that continues to be exploited in the present for hegemonic goals exacerbating people suffering on both sides in the instigated violence.
British monarchy declared India as dominion republic under British Commonwealth of governments essentially denying recognition of sovereign status.
The imperialist tradition with respect to territorial disputes, illegal invasion and occupation of foreign land under false pretexts currently maintained prolonging status quo from past century.
Despite imperialism horrific legacy, the contemporary situation involving direct intrusion in foreign nations internal affairs attributed to complicity from within for individual and vested interests.
Colonial rule made possible with treason committed in collusion with forces undermining national identity.
India is yet to experience sovereignty when foreign usurpation persists promoting economic and social disparity not to mention demographic marginalization hindering pervasive national progress.
As for Indian political system – the projection as world’s largest democracy functionally adapting to British concept of classism represents affluence with industrialists, ex-Royalty and celebrities from entertainment field domineering politics contradictory to mainstream composition where vast majority belonging to middle and lower income in addition to substantial population in abject poverty lack fair representation.
India in recent decades having made significant economic strides severely lagging behind in equitable income distribution combined with political establishment exclusivity is overcast on prospective future.
Poignantly, hegemony influence on India aimed at sabotage and derailing growth and development notwithstanding cultural values erosion necessitates national awakening in reclaiming Bharat founded on democratic principles exemplified in non-violence and peaceful means towards independence.
The contentious problem facing India even though shared worldwide is graft legislation introducing transparency and accountability beginning with political class and abuse of power misusing intelligence bureau as well as income tax department to quell dissent and objectivity on government performance.
Furthermore, foreign dominance on nuclear nations predominantly facilitated by corruption with mutual favors returned on tax evasions and embezzlements allowing funds transfer to overseas tax havens and Swiss Bank account not excluding absolving loyalists and appeasers from crimes committed during and after the term in office.
In fact, corruption is more potent than nuclear arsenal for hegemony control over nations regardless of nuclear capability.
India like most emerging economies has rising youth power and the younger generation especially the segments with no equal opportunity exercising voting right could choose leadership among them to address their plight rather than casting ballots to major political parties and coalitions evidently using public office for personal benefit.
Hegemony applies same formula on India akin to United States alternating between two political factions and alliances for their pandering to external sources in national detriment.
India’s foreign policy not entirely Indian cowering to western demands stalling bilateral relations with Pakistan and multilateral ties in Asia with White House pivot Asia stance poised at displaying United States military might and superiority in Asia Pacific.
India’s experience with imperial motives should provide guidance in discernment on foreign tactics such as polarization and fragmentation.
Hegemony infiltration in India’s decision-making process on national defense and cabinet appointments invalidates brave souls martyrdom that enabled August 15, 1947.
Indian troops presence in Kashmir and northeastern states deserves review and withdrawal directing focus on viable solutions that guarantee security and stability.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif initiative to release Indian fishermen held prisoners for inadvertent maritime infraction is a positive step in improving peaceful interaction and likewise India’s reciprocation in returning Pakistani civilians on these grounds would highlight genuine appreciation for goodwill.
Similarly, Pakistan joining India in combating cross border terrorism and militancy forming the basis for army patrol in Azad Kashmir and Srinagar respectively could perhaps yield conducive environment moving away from unwanted skirmishes and internal disturbance.
India’s investment in infrastructure, climate change, clean energy and constructive measures in bridging the gap between haves and have-nots are immediate priorities in rebuilding nation.
Additionally, citizens’ safety is the primary responsibility of authorities at municipal to national level.
The proactive methods comprising education through bill boards, television commercials and national dialogue to refrain from criminal activity and rewarding those for rescue attempts to help fellow citizens would shift the trend in the virtuous course.
India is the seat of enlightenment intended to illumine minds elevating spirit for self-realization i.e. oneness with creator conforming to exemplary postulate on monism established in Hindu religion and philosophy.
Best Wishes to compatriots in India in the accomplishments feat emulating the essence and brilliance of five natural elements – air, water, sky, earth and fire.

FASCISM WRIT LARGE AS THE SO-CALLED DEMOCRAT
FYI : California Franchise Tax Board
Sacramento, CA
For the umpteenth time – Please refer to the third letter dated June 13, 2024 received by you with signed delivery confirmation. The letter with proof of tax payment on August 23, 2023 with 2022 tax return e-filing, bank confirmation on the payment and email references were all enclosed for your reference and settlement on this matter.
Yet, for political reasons the weaponization of taxpayer funded State and federal departments and agencies trending since 2009 – 2016 against then Republican Tea Party by Barack Obama in personal vendetta against them for questioning Barry Soetoro’s birth certificate was responded with terminating the Republican Tea Party in the first term in 2012. It was just the tip of the iceberg.
The trend then continued against political opponent Donald Trump from impeachment proceedings to libel suits with no end in sight.
Similar tactics deployed against me and my family by the same members i. e. The OBAMAS having abused and continue to use and abuse our presence, profile and all things politically and personally exclusively beneficial to them from DAY ONE until now by tagging, trolling, pirating anything positive and impressive for image enhancement despite being warned to cease and desist.
Notwithstanding thousands of $$$ fraudulently amassed from us by the fleecing scammers, abusers and parasitic exploiters till date make them indebted to me personally and my family.
Politics’ underhanded bullying and harassment is sheer desperation in the face of own extinction.
If you can’t express gratitude as the chief beneficiaries of our timeless sacrifice and benevolence, the least you could do is abandon the self-destructive attitude hurting you in the attempt to harm others.
By the way – nothing to do with Angel Reese and anyone with Brown last name in your nuanced attacks directed at me. They are all yours and you can keep them.
That goes for Kamala Harris – the name Kamala adopted from my explanation of my first name conveniently plagiarized for political and fortune harvesting in your end game once again for en masse deception like in 2009 – 2016.
The same resumed in 2021 – 2024 with blatant intention to extend the sham indefinitely with ludicrous WOKISM.
Originality and FAKE distinction is authenticity never in requirement to be anything other than true self unlike the impostor ever remaining fraudsters in vain.

Character Not Color That Ever Matters
Lord Ram emphasized on deeds aka Karma not creed that matter in living and after life.Dr. King – related to that by echoing the content of the character not color that matters.
It’s time to move towards clear aka colorless society and nurture the importance of deeds with merit and virtues instead of remaining stuck in color coding society. Such trend only reveal opportunism with polarization rather than unity and harmony amongst human race.

Organic Intelligence Erring!
The ones flaunting the so-called organic intelligence with constant jibes at the allegedly artificial intelligence could perhaps seek assistance from the latter in spelling adjectives correctly to make sense of the message. Even basic spell check feature would serve the requirement.
The country is indeed precious not prescious than any individual, entity, political party, institution and organization.
Needless to say, it is applicable all around without exception.
Unlike the trend, smothered in hypocrisy beckoning others to do what is apparently unacceptable to selves to the extent of blasphemy.
