Matter for Man Ki Baat
Dr T H Chowdary*
Sir,
In the spirit of Jan Ki Baat, I am submitting the following points for eliciting your opinion announcing your conviction and commitment to action in right time.
1) Population: India cannot afford limitless growth in population. This growth is adding about 15mln people per year that many mouths to be fed and housed to the existing 135 crores. The question is with increasing population will it be mouths to feed and bodies to house or so many brains that will create wealth out of natural resources through education and health .
The fact is, the growth in the population is in the welfare consumers namely, our SC, ST and Muslim sections of the population. The so called FCs were earlier content with two children but now with only one child. They are giving them the best education at unaffordable costs even and exporting them to America .
The Article -51A of the Constitution may be amended to make two -child norm as the fundamental duty of the every family. Any parents having the third child should be disqualified from every type of welfare including reservations and even voting. This maybe propagated first; made a national issue followed by amendment to the Constitution and enforcement of it later like the Right to Education Act, not limiting it to the Directive Principles.
2) National River Grid: The dispute over the waters of Krishna is leading to the break- up of bon homie between K Chandra Sekhar Rao, the Chief Minister of Telangana and Sri Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Chief Minister of AP.
There is dispute on interstate revers not only in the Telugu states but between several other states. We must amend the Constitution and make law that all inter- state rivers are the property of the nation and not that of any state in which it flows for some length . There must be a National Water Grid just like National Telecom Grid, National Electrical Grid, National High Ways. They Union government should construct dams and the reservoirs and from them, distribute water through national canals to state reservoirs and the states should construct state canals and distribute the water to districts and so on. Appropriate legislation to make the inter-state rivers, the asset of the Union government and the Union government to have the responsibility to distribute the water in equitable quantities to different states must be enacted.
3) Dis-engage governments from Temples: Hindus are adversely discriminated in this country. Their places of worship, namely temples and their assets (which were bestowed to them by great rulers of this country, are now managed and administered by several state governments. Parties in power are using them for patronage, power and pelf, caring little to strengthen Hindu polity to withstand and repulse the war Hinduism by the tolerant, exclusivist religions.
4) The churches of Christians and mosques of Muslims and the Gurudwaras of Sikhs are left to be managed and administered by bodies of people of the respective religions.
Even the BJP governments ( eg: in Karnataka) are exploiting temples for political advantage. Union government should intervene to disengage all state governments from the administration and management of temples for which purpose the Union government may issue a directive or legislative in this regard .
Let the State governments first publish their intention to disengage and invite suggestions from Hindus, individually and through their societies. State governments can even constitute a committee to suggest how to disengage and bring about orderly transfer and civilized administration of temples by the societies of devotees of Hindu gods and goddesses.
5) Sectarian Universities: Alighar Muslim University, Jamia Millia, Maulana Azad National Urdu University ( MANUU) and such sectarian universities although funded by the Union government are having Muslims only as Vice Chancellors . While the secular universities like Osmania University in Telangana and Andhra University in Andhra Pradesh have been having Muslims and Christians having Muslims as Vice Chancellors.
That Urdu is nor a religious language but Islamists are trying to make it into the religious language of all the Muslims in India and thereby exacerbate divisionism among our citizens. One measure is to appoint preferably Urdu -knowing eminent Hindus as the Vice Chancellors of these universities.
Enough damage has been done to the culture and heritage of the country which is essentially dharmic (sanatan dharma , Hindu …) by the pseudo seculars profession and activities of the rulers especially from the Nehru Dynasty and now competed by the cattiest regional parties. It is therefore essential that none of our Universities should become sectarian and this is the fest step should be to appoint Hindus also as Vice Chancellors of MANUU, AMU, Jamia Millia such in states like Telangana & Andhra Pradesh there are minority Gurukulas that is , residential schools for Muslims. In this schools Vandemataram is prohibited .
6) Finish the Civil War: The Naxalites, Peoples War Guerilla armies abetted by their above-ground civil formations in universities and professions have been waging the endless civil war, since the late 1970s, the longest in any country’s history. In the world. We cannot understand why the Union government will not, perhaps cannot end the jihadi battles in Kashmir, as it may mean all out war with China- abetted and even collaborated Pakistan. But cannot the world’s third largest Armed force of India win over the PWG?
Please end this civil war with a resounding triumphs for the Bharatiya state. Stop sacrificing.
