42.1 List of proposals to improve Electricity production and Supply

1. Right to Recall Central Electricity Minister, State Electricity Minister, Central Electricity Regulator, State Electricity Regulator

2. Equal Allowance System over Electricity Consumption to reduce power cuts

3. MRCM (see chap5) will improve electricity purchasing capacity of poor.

4. Right to Recall judges and Jury System will reduce electricity power theft and thus improve electricity production

42.2 Right to Recall Electricity Regulators, Ministers

In the area of electricity, 4 persons play key roles : Central Electricity Regulator, State Electricity Regulator, Central Electricity Minister and State Electricity Minister. My request to non-80G-activists and citizens is to convince PM, CMs to print TCP , and then using TCP, citizens should enact Right to Recall State Electricity Minister, Right to Recall Central Electricity Minister, Right to Recall State Electricity Regulator and Right to Recall National Electricity Regulator. In addition, using TCP, citizens should also enact Jury System over Govt owned Electricity Companies. This will reduce corruption in staff, reduce theft and reduce maintenance failures.

42.3 Self-regulated power cut and 24 hour electricity for all : Allowance System over Electricity

In India, officers have deliberately not installed electricity wires in many villages. That is because if people in those areas start getting electricity, then the elitemen in cities will have to live with lesser electricity. Also, in many areas, the elitemen cut the power supply, by load shedding, in poor areas so that elitemen in well off areas can have more electricity for themselves.

How do I propose to solve this problem?

Once we have Right to Recall Electricity Ministers, the load shedding in all areas over India will become uniform. But that does not reduce the problem. We must get rid of load shedding within 2-3 months if possible. We start increasing number of power plants, but power plants will take a few years before they are built. And bigger problem is getting coal, fuel etc to produce the electricity. The raw fuel problem does not have guaranteed solution.

So how do I propose to create a situation where-in there will be minimal power cuts across India? I propose that citizens should print the following draft in Gazette using TCP.

1. Citizens can replace Central Electricity Minister and State Electricity Ministers using Right to Recall procedures.

2. The Central Electricity Minister will give estimate of per citizen production from power plants under Central Govt.

3. The Central Govt will have 1/3 share of it and rest will be allocated to citizens in a ratio that the citizens where plant is located will get twice the net share citizens of other states.

4. Example : Say estimated production from a particular power plant owned by Central Govt in coming month is to be 1000 million units . Then about 333 million units will go to Central Govts. The rest 667 million units will go to citizens. Say that State has 10 cr citizens and rest of the India has 105 cr citizens. Then each citizen in that State will get 10.6 units and citizen outside that state will get 5.3 units

5. The State Electricity Minister will give estimate of per citizen production from power plants under State Govt.

6. The State Govt will have 1/3 share of it and rest will be allocated to citizens in a ratio that the citizens where plant is located will get twice the share citizens of other states.

7. Example : Say estimated production from power plant owned by State Govt in coming month is 1000 million units . Then about 333 million units will go to Central Govt. The rest 667 million units will go to citizens. Say that State has 10 cr citizens and rest of the India has 105 cr citizens. Then each citizen in that State will get 10.6 units and citizen outside that state will get 5.3 units.

8. A private electricity manufacturer, including captive plants, will allocate the consumption rights in the same was Electricity Producers owned by State Govt.

9. If a person has electricity generator at his home, this law-draft will not apply on him.

10. A citizen can allocate his share to meter numbers (consumption points) or registered consumers in any ratio he decides. The registered consumers can transfer the allowance amongst one another.

11. The meter’s consumption limit will be decided total allocations made to the meter

12. Example : Say a meter number is N. Say 5 citizens each having allowances of 50 units have allocated their allowances of 50 units allocated 50% of their allowances to this meter number. That that meter’s consumption limit will 125 units

13. If a meter exceeds the consumption limit it has, then Govt can impose a fine which can be as high as 10 times the regular charges

14. To allocate his consumption units to meters and registered buyers, the person will need to go to his Talati’s office indicate his allocation. Up to one change in allocation per year will be free and there after, the person will need to pay a fee of Rs 3.

15. The State/Central Govt will allocate its own units to its own departments such as Military, Courts, Police etc. The rest will auctioned in the open market.

16. A citizen can allocate his electricity units as follows : N1 units to a particular meter number, N2 units to another particular meter number and excess units to a particular company. The “particular meter number” can be his own household and/or shop he owns.

17. If a citizen feels that certain category of persons, such as farm land owners etc should have more Allowances, he may submit the clauses as affidavit and then citizens will decide using TCP or MPs will decide as per existing and new laws.

18. The end user will pay the charge for actual electricity he consumes as decided by the Electricity Regulators.

42.4 Effect — fan-tubelight or equivalent cash for all

In 2009, per capita electricity consumption of India was 612 KWH or 612 units per year. How much is one unit? One unit can keep a 60 W tubelight go for 16 hours and a 60 W fan for 16 hours. If a family runs a bulb 8 hours a day and fan for 12 hours a day, then they would consume 438 units a year. For other appliances, they would surely need more electricity.

In the “Equal Allowance over Electricity” proposal I proposed, each person’s consumption limit and it is transferable. Thus a person who has no light at home or keeps his light off can sell away his consumption rights to a person who requirement is excess. IOW, the load shedding or power-cut is minimized by increasing the price in such a way that only those who are consuming more than the average will have to pay, and the excess payment is decided is free market (i.e. each citizen) and the money directly goes to the citizens who consume less electricity.

For example, say per citizen per month consumption allowance is 40 units. Then a family which has no electricity connection can sell away 40 units of consumption unit to any company and get amount equal to market rate from that company. Say a family of 4 only uses a tubelight 5 hours a day and fan 12 hours a day. They will need 30 units a month. So they can use 30 units and sell away rights to consume 130 units to someone else. Likewise, a person who uses air conditioner 20 hours a day will consume 600 units a month. He will need to buy 560 units from someone who is consuming less.
So how does this Equal Allowance System reduce power cuts? Because if every person consumes as per units he has obtained then there will be no power cuts at all. Now the fact that a person will have to pay 10 times the charge will ensure that he will buy units from markets rather than flouting it, or in case, he cannot buy units then he will reduce his consumption himself. IOW, a mall which is running air conditioners round the clock is welcome to run the air conditioners, but they better get units from those who are consuming less. And if those who are consuming less decide to consume more rather than give away the unit, then the mall will have to wait till power production increases.

42.5 How MRCM will improve power scenario

The MRCM will increase the incomes of the poor. This will increase their ability to but electricity. Also, MRCM ensures that citizens get incomes from royalties that comes from crude oil, coal to citizens. So if demand for electricity rises and if electricity manufacturing companies decide to pay more for crude oil or coal, then incomes of citizens will automatically rise. Thus MRCM ensures that every person will be able to use at least some electricity.

42.6 How Right to Recall judges improve Electricity Production?

RTR judges will ensure that judges will not give stay orders to block the projects. E.g. Narmada Dam project got stalled for 40 years due to stay orders from various judges. So as stay orders decrease, the hydro power plants and other power plants will come at faster rates. This will improve electricity production.

42.7 What can YOU do to improve Electricity Supply?

Please read chap-13 of this book http://rahulmehta.com/301.htm . It has several steps where-in you can spend 6 hours a week and help to bring TCP draft in Gazette in India. The steps involve distributing pamphlets, informing citizens on motives of leaders such as Congress MPs, BJP MPs, The Anna etc who oppose TCP draft, by giving newspaper ads, contesting elections. Once TCP gets printed in Gazette, using TCP, it will become easy for activists to get citizens’ opinion law-drafts mentioned in this chapter such as Right to Recall National Electricity Minister, RTR State Electricity Minister, Equal Allowance System over Electricity, MRCM etc. This will make it possible to create uninterrupted 24 hour self-controlled electricity supply.

43.1 Main problems

The trade deficit of India is out of control – we are importing more than we export. This has forced GoI to borrow dollars and this has increased foreign debt and dependence on US. How do we reduce trade deficit and pay off the external debt? And ensure that debt doesn’t increase in future?

And while citing proposals on reducing trade deficits, the key item that one must address is crude oil (and associated products). India has to import about 75% of crude oil it consumes and that takes away much of the forex (nov-2011). And an increase in international prices forces GoI to borrow dollars and increase the final local sale price of petrol. I have no proposals to “stabilize” the final petrol price, but I do want to spell out how the laws I propose will reduce petrol imports, reduce other imports, reduce the final sale price of petrol and also ensure that petrol import and other imports will not create foreign debt.

My proposals have following changes at core :

1. buying dollars or import expenses will not be deductible expense wrt income tax calculations

2. dollars earned or rupees earned from sale of dollars to private company will be taxable income

3. rupees earned from sale of dollars to RBI will be tax exempt income till India’s public external debt is repaid, and after that it will be also taxable income.

43.2 List of proposals to reduce imports and foreign debt

1. Import duty of about 300% on most goods.

2. For some commodities, importer will have to pay part of duty in dollars and not in rupees. E.g. As per one of my proposals, if a person imports a car or car parts, the duty will be 300% and will have to be paid in dollars.

3. The cost of imports will not be allowed as deductible expenses for income tax purposes

4. Part or whole of duty paid too may not be allowed as expenses for income tax purposes.

5. Example : Say a person imports goods worth say Rs 10 lakhs, and say he had to pay duty of Rs 30 lakhs and sells the goods for Rs 70 lakhs. Say the salaries he paid and rents he paid Rs 8 lakhs. Then his profit will be entire Rs 70 lakhs minus Rs. 8 lakhs of salary, rent etc i.e. Rs 62 lakhs. The Rs 10 lakhs of import will not be allowed as deductible expense. And whole or portion of Rs 30 lakhs of duty too may not classify as deductible expenses. So importer has to keep the markups accordingly. This will increase the prices of imported goods including imported petrol and thus reduce the imports

6. The exporter must keep the proceeds of his exports in dollars in account with bank authorized by RBI to keep forex

7. If exporter wants to keep the revenue in dollars, then tax of 35% to be paid in dollars will apply on the revenue amount he received. But if the exporter sells the dollars to RBI at rate decided by RBI within 3 months after he receives the dollars, then that entire revenue will be tax exempt.

The above laws will reduce imports and reduce trade deficit.

43.3 List of proposals to manage crude oil imports and over all supply

1. MRCM : give 67% crude royalties to citizens and rest 33% to Military (see chap-5)

2. Right to Recall Petroleum Minister, RTR Hindustan Petroleum Chairman, RTR ONGC Chairman, RTR IOC Chairman. The procedure will be similar to RTR Reserve Bank of India Governor given in chap-9.

3. Jury System over employees of Hindustan Petroleum, ONGC, Petroleum Ministry etc. Encouraging use of local technology in oil drilling and refining

4. RTR State Transport Chairman to improve public bus system to reduce petrol consumption

5. RTR City Transport Chairman to improve public bus system to reduce petrol consumption

6. RTR City Mayor and RTR Municipal Commissioner to improve footpaths and pedestrian crossings so that use of vehicles reduce

7. Improve all govt depts so that travel requirements reduce, by increasing use of Govt websites and public-emails

43.4 Giving crude oil royalties to citizens (MRCM law)

My key proposal is to convince citizens to convince PM, CMs to print TCP-draft in the Gazette (see section-1.3). And then using TCP, citizens can convince PM to print MRCM law. Once MRCM law-draft is printed in Gazette, citizens will directly start getting mineral royalties from crude oil and natural gas. Once this happens, citizens ability to buy crude oil at higher prices will increase, and they will be able to withstand price rise to some extent. Let me elaborate.

The final price of petrol is sum of royalty, taxes, cost of exploration, drilling, cost of refining, cost of transports, retail costs and normal profits of companies in each activity. If the drilling, refining is done locally, then using RTR over Hindustan Petroleum Chairman, ONGC Chairman and Petroleum Minister, citizens of India can ensure that these companies are not making too much profits, not paying too high salaries and not siphoning money. The costs of drilling, refining has 2 main components – salaries and material. These costs are fixed in short run – they don’t vary randomly. I propose zero excise\sales taxes on internal production and replace the taxes by royalties alone. The royalties will directly go to citizens and military via MRCM-draft printed in the Gazette (see chap-5)

So what procedures do I propose to decide the royalty? The drilling company like ONGC will sell the crude oil to refining company like HP at international prices (plus customs duty) and the difference between cost of drilling and the sale price to refinery will become the royalty to the Govt, of which 67% will go to citizens. Now what will stop crude oil drilling companies etc to raise the cost by over paying its workers or over paying contractors siphoning out money from ONGC? The RTR ONGC Chairman and Jury System over ONGC employees will ensure that such things will be minimal.
So now say (cost of explorations + cost of drilling + cost of refining + cost of transport + cost of retails etc) is Rs 10 per liter of petrol. Now say internal production is 20 liters per citizen per month. And if imports are zero, then selling price at this supply level is Rs 60 per liter. Then Rs 50 will be the royalty that will go to Military and Citizens in 33% to 67% ratio. Whatever may be the royalty income, it will be equal to ability to buy certain amount of petrol for “free”, directly or indirectly.

43.5 To ensure that oil import doesn’t become GoI liability

The problem with imports is: who will bear burden of forex. My proposal to manage forex needed to import crude oil is as follows :

1. A company which is in oil drilling or refining business must be WOIC (Wholly Owned by Indian Citizens , see chap-20 for details on WOIC)

2. A company in oil drilling or refining business in India cannot take any debt in dollars

3. A trading company can import crude oil or petrol and sell it refineries or petrol wholesalers or retailers. This trading company may or need not take debt in dollars. Trading company may be private and need not be WOIC.

4. The trading company can purchase dollars from any company it deems right for the prevailing market price.

5. The trading company cannot take money spent on importing crude as deductible expense. And thus entire sales it makes to refining company will be taken as gross income.

6. The Govt may impose import duty on imported crude oil or imported finished petrol, and may mandate that whole or part of duty must be paid in dollars.
So the oil importing company has to obtain dollars on its own and not from GoI. The oil importing company will eventually get dollars from companies which export goods from India. If the exports fall, then automatically, oil importing company will get less dollars and so the import will fall. But GoI wont need to take any debt to support the oil import.

43.6 Increasing industrial exports

1. Exposing anti-worker anti-poor intellectuals : Most of intellectuals are agents of elitemen, and so they oppose giving mineral royalties and land rent from GoI plots to the poor. And sadly activists think that these intellectuals are pro-poor, pro-workers. I at RRP propose that we should inform activists that these intellectuals are anti-poor pro-rich and here is the proof : they oppose giving land rents from GoI plots to the poor citizens.

2. Protection of workers : the MRCM law-draft will give a minimum income to all workers and so it will protect them against exploitation.

3. Hire-fire laws : Using TCP, enact hire-fire laws in India

4. Universal Provident Fund and Pension System : Enact provident fund system and pension system for all citizens. Abolish all EPF and private pension schemes. This will reduce burden on employers to manage the paperwork.

5. Environmental laws at par with US of the year, when per capita GDP of US was that of India.

6. Ban all agricultural exports till all Indians have enough to eat

7. Income from sale of dollars to RBI will be exempt from income tax till the foreign debt is repaid. After that no subsidies of any kind to any exporter.

43.7 Improving administration of India’s crude oil drilling and refining companies

The oil companies in India pay too much salaries etc to its employees and corruption is norm. So what solution do I propose overt this problem? Following are the solutions are propose

1. Right to Recall Petroleum Minister
2. Right to Recall ONGC Chairman
3. Right to Recall Hindustan Petroleum Chairman
4. Jury System over employees of Petroleum Minister, ONGC, HP and all oil companies

These measures are more than sufficient.

43.8 Reducing crude oil consumption by improving bus systems

Crude oil consumption can be decreased by improving footpaths, improving city bus service, improving state bus system, creating shared taxi service, shared auto rickshaw service, creating bus service where person can carry his bicycle and so forth.
Once citizens have RTR over City Bus System Chairman and State Bus System Chairman, the bus system will improve, private traffic will decrease and crude oil import will decrease. RTR Mayor and RTR Municipal Commissioner will improve footpaths and further reduce crude oil import.

43.9 Increasing vehicle tax, parking fees to reduce crude oil consumption

The annual vehicle tax should calculated on the basis of land price and (amount of land the vehicle takes minus per capita available space at peak hour). And the parking price too should be increased as land prices increase. Because as long as person is taking less or equal to per capita space at peak hour, there will be no congestion. But moment some people start taking space more than per capita space available, congestion will increase. In short, when anything gets subsidy, rampant misuse happens and shortages occur. The vehicle tax and parking fees must be linked with market price of the land – with some adjustments. At the same time, parking fees and vehicle tax should be used only for building roads, footpaths and not for unrelated purposes. Further, vehicle tax may be used for subsidizing public bus system because public bus system benefits the car users. I propose to print all the drafts in Gazette in using TCP only.

Further, I propose to make all travel related expenses non-deductible for income tax purposes. This will include purchase of petrol, purchase of vehicles and depreciation on vehicles. I propose to print all this drafts via TCP only.

All these proposals are for tomorrow. As crude oil production increases, as India purchases more oil wells outside India and as exports increase, many of the above proposed laws may be removed or relaxed. But as of now, urgent need is to increase exports, reduce imports, particularly reduce crude oil import and so forth.

43.10 What can YOU do to reduce crude oil import , other imports and foreign debt?

Please read chap-13 of this book http://rahulmehta.com/301.htm . It has several steps where-in you can spend 6 hours a week and help to bring TCP draft in Gazette in India. The steps involve distributing pamphlets, informing citizens on motives of leaders such as Congress MPs, BJP MPs, The Anna etc who oppose TCP draft, by giving newspaper ads and contesting elections. Once TCP gets printed in Gazette, using TCP, it will become easy for activists to get citizens’ opinion law-drafts mentioned in this chapter such as Right to Recall Petroleum Minister, RTR ONGC Chairman, MRCM, making dollar expense undeductible, RTR City/State Bus Corporation Chairman, RTR Mayor etc. These changes will reduce crude oil imports, other imports and thus reduce foreign debt as well.

44.1 Proposals in short

1. Print a Gazette Notification that imposes 5 year prison sentence for slaughter of cows and bullocks. Most states, except Kerala and West Bengal already have such provision.

2. Right to Recall Police Chief , Right to recall District Public Prosecutor, RTR District judge, RTR Cow Welfare Minister to enforce the prison sentence

3. Jury Trial and not judge trial to decide the guilt and length of prison sentence

4. Narco Test by Approval of Jurors on those accused of cow slaughter

5. Right to Recall District Anti-adulteration officer , so that selling of fake cow-milk and fake cow-ghee decreases.

6. Invest in creating technology for sperm separation and thus enabling sex selection of cows i.e. at the time of impregnating cow, the cow-owner can ensure the sex of calf

7. Cancel subsidies to tractor. This will increase demand for bullocks.

8. Selling of cow meat will be banned. Jurors may impose sentence of 5 years in prison.

9. No export of cow meat. Jurors may imprison anyone exporting beef for 5 years.

10. No export of cows. Jurors may imprison anyone exporting cow for 5 years.

11. No inter-state movement of cow. Jurors may imprison anyone moving cows from one state to another 5 years.

12. Govt will run cow shelters ; the funds will be collected using wealth tax

13. The Govt will purchase old cows at a set price

14. There will be no subsidy for cow or buffalo

15. The milk will have explicit label of cow’s milk or buffalo’s milk. The label will also specify whether the milk is from “desi cow” , “geer cow” or “jersey cow”.

16. The milk have label displaying fat and protein contents, and possibility of heart attack depending on fat level, as determined by Medical Council of India. This will reduce the consumption of buffalo milk,

17. There should be one panjara-pol (or gau-shaalaa) in every colony of 10,000 to 30,000 in cities. Thus the cities will have at least 1-2 gau-shaalaa in each ward.

18. Running advertisement campaign explaining harmful effect of buffalo milk on heart, and how buffalo milk increases possibility of heart attack. As information on ill effect of buffalo milk on heart spreads, consumption of buffalo milk will decrease

44.2 Explanations in detail

Cow slaughter is legal only in Jammu Kashmir, West Bengal, Kerala and parts of North East. All other States have imprisonment for cow slaughter. E.g Gujarat has imprisonment of up to 6 years, Haryana has imprisonment of up to 5 years etc etc. But the imprisonment doesn’t happen because of corruption of District Police Chief, District Public Prosecutors and District judges. So Right to Recall over these positions will corruption in these posts and thus reduce cow slaughter. Eg if there is RTR District Police Chief, then police chief will know that citizens don’t want cow-slaughter to continue and citizens will expel him if cow slaughter goes on, then Police Chief will crack down and cow slaughter will decrease. In addition, the judge trial in cases of cow-laughter should end. The judges are prone to nexuses, nepotism and thus corruption. So cow-killers will get away. So trials on alleged cow-slaughter must be decided by the Jurors. And Jurors may order narco test in public to extract more names from the accused and also know the truth.

Hindus give free food to cows and also donate money at gau-shala. IOW, Hindus are subsidizing beef !!! To fix the mess, I request all Hindus to buy cow-milk product as raw cost price and give subsidy and sell it to poor, and not give any money to gau-shaalaa. By buying cow-milk products, they are giving revenues and normal profits to gau-shaalaa to keep cows.

The buffalo milk is cheap, but increases the chances of heart attack. So when cost of heart attack medicines, operations etc are taken into account, buffalo milk is far more expensive that cow milk. But sadly, most people do not have information on this. The Govt can run a one year campaign to spread this information to citizens and this will reduce consumption of buffalo milk and increase consumption of cow-milk. Also, most people have no way to know whether milk or ghee labeled as cow milk or cow ghee is actually cow milk or cow ghee or just buffalo milk. This is because District Health Officer in-charge of controlling adulteration are corrupt. So I propose RTR District Health Officer so that supervision improves, adulteration decreases and citizens’ faith in label increases.

By de-subsidizing tractors demand for bullocks can be raised and this will reduce bullock slaughter. And by de-subsidizing chemical fertilizers, demand for cow and as well bullock will increase.

And lastly, cows give birth to cows and bullocks in equal number. And economy may no longer needs so many bullocks. And this increase slaughter of bullocks and if slaughter of bullock increases, then slaughter of cow may also sneak thru. Now it is possible to segregate sperms which can give birth to cows mostly cows and less to bullocks. Using this technology, number of unneeded bullocks will reduce to less than 1% and thus bullock slaughter will reduce.

These measure will reduce cow and bullock slaughter to near zero.

44.3 What can YOU do to reduce cow-slaughter?

Please read chap-13 of this book http://rahulmehta.com/301.htm . It has several steps where-in you can spend 6 hours a week and help to bring TCP draft in Gazette in India. The steps involve distributing pamphlets, informing citizens on motives of leaders such as Congress MPs, BJP MPs, The Anna etc who oppose TCP draft, by giving newspaper ads and contesting elections. Once TCP gets printed in Gazette, using TCP, it will become easy for activists to get citizens’ opinion law-drafts mentioned in this chapter such as Right to Recall Police Commissioner, RTR District Health Officer, ending subsidies on chemical fertilizers, ending subsidies on tractors, ending fuel subsidies, ending water subsidies, increase subsidies on final cow-milk products, banning inter-state movement of cows etc. These changes will reduce cow slaughter.

45.1 An analogy from software field, and short summary of Janlokpal

Say you are shareholder of a company which has 100,000 PCs and you have problem of hackers getting into PCs. An expert comes and says “lets centralize control of all 100,000 PCs into 11 servers”. Any software developer will ask — “what if a hacker or a physical intruder gets access to those 11 servers? Then with one stroke, he gets malafide access to all 100,000 machines”. Such super-centralized system may stop small hackers, but it is a blessing to an high profile intruders who can access machines physically.

The Lokpal System or Janlokpal System is of the same nature.

The Janlokpal will certainly reduce low-level corruption significantly. But it will increase MNC-owners’ domination in Indian administration. IOW, Janlokpal is a medicine which will reduce diabetes by 50% but triples the cancer. In contrast, Right to Recall is superior – RTR reduces corruption as well as reduces MNC-owners’ domination. The cancerous effect of Janlokpal can be zeroed by adding Right to Recall Janlokpal clauses to it. But The Anna, Chhote Anne and all MPs or all parties are united on this — they have all harshly opposed the proposal to add Right to Recall Lokpal clauses in the Lokpal drafts.

This chapter explains how Janlokpal will surely reduce corruption, how it will also surely increase MNC-owners’ dominations and enslave India, how RTR-Lokpal zeroes out this fatal flaw, why The Anna opposes RTR-Lokpal and many other factors of the “MNC-pal masquerading as Janlokpal” game.

45.2 How Janlokpal benefits MNC-owners and Missionaries?

The MNC-owners these days have to bribe and cater 10000s of officials across India at all ranks from Supreme Court judges and PM to CM to Collector to Patwari, Talati. Now let me explain how the corruption in Group-B to Group-D officers/judges benefit small-medium businessmen over MNC-owners. Say a person in some city like Ahmedabad or Delhi owns say 5-10 restaurants. Say he wants to open one more restaurant and local officers ask for bribe of say Rs 500,000. So he pays the bribes and opens a restaurant. Now consider MNC-owner sitting in NYC wanting to open one more restaurant in India. The local officers will raise the bribe to Rs 20,00,000 because the MNC-owner does not have local contacts to create political problems against that officer. Now MNC-owner has no time to directly deal with local officer as his empire is spread all over India and World. So the MNC-owner will have to hire a Radia-type lobbyist or middleman. And that middleman will say that officers are asking for Rs 60,00,000 of bribes !! So all in all, the MNC-owner ends up paying 10-20 times more bribe that what local guy would have had to pay. In addition, Chinese companies are now also coming and offering bribes. This has further increased the bribe money American MNC-owners have to pay.

To reduce the costs and headache, the MNC-owners saw that if there is a committee of non-recallable 11 officers who have powers to imprison anyone in Indian administration, then the bribes that the MNC-owners have to pay will reduce. How?

The MNC-owners will then have bribe only11 officers and via them MNC-owners can threaten any officer PM to Patwari. These 11 officers can be called as MNC-pals.
And the Missionaries feel the same way. Many Group-B to Group-D officers resist them as they are more connected with local communities. And if these 11 powerful persons have power to imprison anyone and everyone, then the Missionaries can hire the relatives of these 11 officers as constantans and use them to control officers who are resisting conversions So these 11 officers can be also called as Missionary-pals.

(Aside : Like it or don’t, the corruption in group-B to group-D officers etc is what has blocked MNC-owners from taking over whole of India. Otherwise, CMs, PM, Ministers, senior Party leaders, Supreme judges, High judges etc are small in number and MNC-owners have already purchased their loyalties by giving them cash or giving their relatives high paid jobs. This is NOT to say that corruption in group-B to group-D officers should stay. It must reduce. But if nepotism/nexuses at top doesn’t reduce, then reduction in corruption at lower levels will only benefit MNC-owners.)

45.3 would YOU support IMF Chairman fasting for MNC-pal law?

So a question MNC-owners and Missionaries faced is — how to get MNC-pal law passed?

The first thing anyone would notice is that the name MNC-pal is bad. The name must at least create a false sense that it is meant for commons, and so a name like Lokpal would be good, and a name like Janlokpal will be even better. But catchy name alone will not be sufficient. Anyone who would read the bill would see that centralizing all powers in hands of 11 non-recallable officials is nothing but a plan to strengthen MNC-owners’ control over India. So how to suppress this fact from becoming point of debate? Now we all know that in India, fasting supported by paid-media is a powerful way to create emotional chaos and suppress fact based debates. Eg. Mohanbhai-1 and British-paid media had used fasts efficiently to misguide people.

So how does The Anna fit in the whole scheme? If fasting is enough to misguide people, why not have IMF Chairman fast for Janlokpal at Jantar Mantar? Well, say IMF Chairman and Wallmart Chairman wearing $5000 Armani suit, $1000 Arrow shirt. $1000 Frezorie tie and $2000 Gucci shoes starts a fast for MNC-pal law at Jantar Mantar. Then would you support the law without reading it? NO. No matter what TV-channels say, you would never trust IMF Chairman in Armani and Gucci blindly. No matter how many days he fasts, you would read and analyze the law. And if you analyze the law, then you would immediately see that giving control over administration is to 11 officers only helps MNC-owners. But say if an elderly saintly man with no wealth, wearing simple clothes sits on fasts, and paid news call him as Mahatma Gandhiji-2. Then now, would you support the law without reading and analyzing it?

And so the MNC-owners paid TV-channels to show The Anna who was fasting for Janlokpal so that a debate on “what if Janlokpal become MNC-agent” can be suppressed.

Let me give you analogy from history and common experience. Say a white man comes and says that “2 + 2 = 4” or “sum of all angles in triangle is 180 degrees”, then would you believe him? Yes, you would. Because when something is verifiable provable fact or sounds reasonable, then person’s color of skin, his dress, how much wealth he has etc become irrelevant. Even his affiliation, whether he is MNC-agent or Congress-agent or RSS-agent become less important.

But now consider a different case. Say you in year 1920, and the British Viceroy comes and says “see people of India, dump all swords and spears, burn all guns, throw away all bullets in river — all weapons are useless … just fast, spin charkha and sing bhajans for 30 years and we British will get scared, and we will run away and you will get freedom”, then would you believe that goraa Viceroy? HELL NO. That’s why the British Viceroys spoke such a lie, and instead the Viceroys paid newspapers to print pictures of Mohanbhai-1. IOW, when lies are to be thrown and facts are to be suppressed, paid news are necessary but not sufficient. The wealthy individuals also need a person with saintly image, who wears simple clothes, has no wealth and someone who can speak loads of lies with straight face without smiling. So MNC-owners cant have IMF Chairman fast for Janlokpal, they need an Indian saintly figure.

But why would a “saint” speak lies? For fame. Let me elaborate

In politics, some 2% people are committed; they may want money\fame\power\etc but only in ethical way. They want money, power, fame etc as much as all do, but will never sell national interests for money or fame or power. They are what we call as good guys. About 97.999% people in politics want money thru any means, and we call then bad guys. And IMO, the worst are the 0.001% who want fame thru any means. Those who want fame will never touch money as that can reduces the faith in blind followers around them. But they can sell national interests to MNCs and wealthy Indians for fame. And of these fame-seekers, worst are those who want their name to become immortal in history. Some example of such fame hungry who sold away national interests are Mohanbhai-1 and Nehru. To get fame, Nehru stopped Indian Military from advancing in JK in 1947, went to UN on JK issue in 1948, weakened Indian Military between 1948-1962 and did many such things. Mohanbhai-1 was another such fame hungry character who ruined national interest. eg Mohanbhai-1 peddled the lie of non-violence, because he wanted the British-paid media to fetch him fame. This delayed freedom by 30 years (and would have been infinite years if there was no World War 2), and resulted into deaths of 10 lakh Hindus in 1947. And Mohanbhai-1 also peddled lie of “Trusteeship of private property” for fame. This 0.001% fame hungry people are worst, and more lethal because it is difficult to prove that they are bad guys and particularly when paid-media is posing them as saint.
Mohabhai-1 peddled lies of non-violence, British paid newspapers to cover him, and all that the delayed Indian freedom by decades and 10 lakh innocent Hindus got slaughtered and 4 crore lost their wealth and had to flee.. Now Mohanbhai-2 is peddling lie of “Janlokpal with no right to recall Janlokpal” and TV-channels paid by MNC-owners are covering him and this will take India back to slavery of MNC-owners.

Finally, I will explain the process how fame-hungry person and wealthy sponsors communicate. They don’t !! They never speak to one-another. The fame-hungry person, such as Mohanbhai-1 or Mohanbhai-2 starts looking for statements and activities which can get them fame. The individuals who own media give directives to journalists and columnists on which activist leader to highlight and whom not to highlight and whom to highlight positively and whom to highlight negatively. The fame-hungry activist-leaders read the journalists, and then adjust their statements and actions based on what they think will fetch them more positive coverage in next round. So till end, the fame hungry person thinks that he is using mediamen !! The reality is just opposite. The fame hungry person will knowingly peddle lies, with aim to get fame, and hope that once he gets fame, he can turn the table. So the fame-hungry persons takes lie-peddling as tactical compromise and convinces himself that when he becomes famous, using his fame and aura, he will do many good things which will cancel the ill effects of lie-peddling he is doing now. What is end effect? The fame-hungry person will never get a chance to turn the table. Because if and when that fame-hungry person behaves in a way sponsors don’t like, the sponsors will block his media coverage. Eg Mohanbhai-1 did not want partition which the British wanted. So the British-paid media. Later Mohanbhai-1 demanded that Congress should be dissolved. The Indian elitemen did not want that. And so they paid media to block his statements on need to dissolve Congress for many months.

So one thing ac activist-leader should always keep in mind is — an activist-leader can never use media-owning elitemen, it can only be other round. The elitemen are too shrewd cant be used. And a lesson to non-80G-activist is — if your activist-leaders is planning to use media-owners, that activist-leader is living in fool’s paradise. So my suggestion to all non-80G-activist is – please analyze if your activist-leader is opposing (= postponing) proposals for fame or because the proposals are bad. If proposals are bad, there is valid reason to oppose them. If the proposals are good, then most likely reason he is postponing (= opposing) them is to ensure favorable media-coverage. Whatever motive or mission he has in gaining media-coverage at the cost of good proposals, it will only do harm to nation.

45.4 The way out

So that’s the Janlokpal Game in a nut shell. The goal is to get a law-draft passed that would strengthen MNC-owners’ control by having 11 Masters, so that MNC-owners need to deal only with their 20-50 relatives. The game is to use network of paid news and NGOs to highlight a Mohanbhai who fasts for that law-draft so that debate on “what if Janlokpal becomes MNC agent” can be suppressed. The sole purpose of The Anna’s fasts is to suppress debate on “what if Lokpal becomes MNC agent”. Otherwise, MNC-owners want Janlokpal, and so MPs will pass Janlokpal anyway.

So what is the way out?

The way out I propose is that non-80G-activists without waiting for unity should demand addition of Right to Recall Lokpal clauses. This will make more and more non-80G-activists demand RTR drafts and will increase the chances of getting RTR enacted in India. And if and when RTR comes, MNC-owners’ domination will end.

45.5 A look into past — RTI and Right to Recall Information Commissioner in RTI

Some 7 years back in year 2004, when RTI-law-draft was being discussed, I cited 3 flaws —

1. the RTI-law-draft does not enable a citizen to put his RTI application on a GoI website

2. the RTI-law-draft doesn’t allow citizens to add their names to an existing RTI application and thus lower middle class and lower class citizens cannot prove numerical support to an RTI application and without help of mediamen, who have expenses and do need to be paid.

3. the RTI-law-draft doesn’t have procedure by which citizens can recall/replace/retain Information Commissioners (i.e. there is no Right to Recall RTI Commissioner) and so most Information Commissioners will become corrupt and RTI will become a useless tool in fight against corruption.

(1) and (2) is what I call as lack of Transparent Complaint Filing in the RTI-law-draft and (3) is what I call as lack of Right to Recall (and Reject). The Right to Recall via Jury System or explicit majority approval is must to reduce corruption. No country in world, except Japan has achieved low corruption with Jury or RTR or both. I have explained Right to Recall aka Prajaadheen Raja in chap-1 of http://goo.gl/ybfEo ( http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf ) and will cite part of it in context of Right to Recall Lokpal. A belief that corruption can reduce without RTR (via Jury or majority approval) by installing super-Gods like Information Commissioners or Lokpals is like hoping that agents of Mafia Chiefs will reduce crimes. But the apex activists in year 2004 said that “we must insist on RTI-law-draft without transparent complaint filing and without Right to Recall clauses, and only after RTI passes, we will later make sure that these clauses get added”. In the field of activism, the word “later” means “next life time”.

Back then I had less courage to spend my own money in advertising these fatal flaws and remedies. And lesser courage made me put faith in the promise of “later”. The RTI-law-draft passed without any transparent complain filing clauses and without Right to Recall Information Commissioners. Look and see for yourself — so many RTI-awareness classes has been held , so many RTI applications have been filed and so much time and money has been spent and wasted. But corruption did not decrease by even 1%. The RTI-law-draft today has become a defunct tool in the fight against large cases of corruption/nepotism in judges, Ministers, IAS, IPS.

Today in nov-2011, many things have changed, but more they change, more they remain same. Back in 2004, RTI was hot and promises were thrown that come RTI and corruption will reduce by 90%. Today (nov-2011), Jan Lokpal is trendy and The Anna says that Lokpal will reduce corruption by 90%. But today, The Anna or The Team, who were members of very powerful Govt Committee to draft Lokpal bill, insist that Lokpal Act should be without Transparent Complain Filing clauses and without Right to Recall Lokpal clauses. And The Anna and The Team may say that Transparent Complaint Filing should be put later i.e. in the next life time, and oppose the humble request of uncivil society (aka common citizens) to add it “now”. The only change between 2004 and now is a very tiny one — this time, I have decided to spend my own hard earned post tax money to ensure that at least a few hundred activists do know about these 3 fatal flaws in Lokpal drafts and do know about remedies and also know that Anna added these remedies or Anna refused to add these remedies. Unlike Anna who got backing of 50 TV-channel-sponsors and 400 newspaper-sponsors across India, I am backed only by my own income only. Taking the information about Right to Recall Lokpal clauses to a few hundred activists via newspaper ads and internet — is as far as I can go with my own limited money. Rest will be decided by the priorities and decisions of activists who come to know about my proposed additions in the Lokpal bill via my limited campaign.

45.6 Major flaws short-comings in the Lokpal draft

1. Selection procedures (section-6.6.i) are completely void of transparency : Section-(6)(6)(i) of Jan Lokpal says “i. Public feedback shall be invited on the shortlisted names by putting these names on the website”. But draft is completely void of ways and means by which 75 crore or even 1 crore citizens can send feedback in transparent way. E.g. say I send a letter to Lokpal Selection Committee Chairman that “appoint Mr. NaMo as Lokpal” or “appoint Mr. Nitish as Lokpal”, and the Lokpal Selection Committee Chairman may say – “you never sent such a letter” or replace my letter with letter saying “appoint Mr. X as Lokpal”. This is very much possible. Solution is to have procedure by which citizen can post affidavit on Lokpal’s website by visiting Collector’s office. Likewise, if 50 lakh people send a letter saying “pls appoint Mr. NaMo as Lokpal”, the Committee may say “they got only 10 lakh such letters”. Solution? The Transparent Complaint Filing (described in next point) will almost eliminate this problem.

2. Transparent Complaint Filing is must : A corrupt Lokpal or Lokpal who is agent of MNCs may say : you never sent me the full complain !! Let me give a detailed example : (i)say I send a 20 page long complaint against a judge or a Minister by registered ad postal mail (ii)say Lokpal has nexuses with that judge or that Minister, or if Lokpal is an MNC agent and those MNCs have asked Lokpal to protect that judge/Minister (iii)then Lokpal can remove 5-10 key pages from envelope, and then tells me after 3 months, that “you never sent the full complaint and so we had to dismiss your complaint”. In a country where whole files disappear, this is more than likely. Solution I propose is to add 3 clauses in Lokpal draft that would enable citizens to DIRECTLY put affidavits (complaints) on the website of Lokpal via personally visiting Collector’s office. If Lokpal now tries to remove pages, the citizens will come to know immediately because of 100s of backups taken by private and Govt bodies’ software.

3. Right to Recall Lokpal aka Prajaa-aadheen Lokpal is must : If Lokpal becomes corrupt then citizens will have to wait for five years, or do another hunger strike. Hunger strike needs support of media. Without support of media, hunger strike doesn’t even kill a mosquito. E.g. Forty lakh people died in Bengal due to hunger and famines in early 1940s and paid or unpaid media did not give any attention. But when Mohanbhai were to stay hungry for even 5 days, British-paid media would create perception of earth-quakes. So hunger strike is not an option for the hungry and poor – it is only for those who are well connected with paid or unpaid media. Now given that selection committee for Lokpal is governed by Speakers, SCjs, HCjs — the possibility that a person as corrupt as S. Pawar, but with a clean image, will become an Lokpal is real. The solution I propose is : we should add clauses in both Lokpal draft that would enable us citizens to expel/replace Lokpal aka Right to Recall Lokpal.

4. Right to Retain Lokpal : Say the Lokpal is honest, but SCjs are as non-corrupt as S. Pawar. Now in the proposed IAC Lokpal draft, SCjs can expel Lokpal (pls see section-7). So if SCjs are as non-corrupt as Pawar, then they may expel Lokpal. Now both Lokpal bills provide no means for citizens to re-install that honest Lokpal back. i.e. both lack Right to Retain Lokpal. In fact, the fact that Lokpal can be expelled by SCjs make him dependent and not independent. The relative-lawyers of SCjs may constantly threaten Lokpal and extort favors from him, just as Ministers’ relative extort favors from officials. Solution I propose is adding Right to Retain clauses, which would enable citizens to re-install a non-corrupt Lokpal expelled by corrupt people in power.

45.7 What can you do to make MNC-pal a true Janlokpal?

I am only requesting all activists, including IAC activists, to request PM, Anna and all Committee Members to add

1. Three clauses for Transparent Complaint Filing (aka TCP described in chap-1 of this book http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf )

2. Twelve clauses for Right to Recall Lokpal , which will also act as Right to Retain Lokpal. The Right to Recall Lokpal clauses would make the Jan Lokpal a Janaadheen Lokpal, and thus a Jan Lokpal in true sense. If Jan Lokpal is not Janaadheen Lokpal, he will become Dhan Lokpal i.e. agent of MNCs and elitemen lobbies.

3. The draft committee should put all proposals sent to it as affidavit on its website, and may charge a fee to scan and upload the affidavits.

So I request all activists to ask PM and Annaji and IAC to add these clauses in Lokpal draft.

45.8 Three clauses of Transparent Complaint/Feedback Filing aka Citizen’s Voice

Following is the addition is propose in Lokpal bill.

Section-NN : Transparent Complain/Feedback Filing

#
Officer
Procedure

1 Instruction to Collector (or Executive Magistrate he designates)
The President hereby orders Collector that : if a woman voter or dalit voter or senior citizen voter or poor voter or farmer voter or ANY citizen-voter in his district submits a complaint to Lokpal to the Collector (or his designated Executive Magistrate) and requests to be put on the website of Lokpal, the Collector or his designated Executive Magistrate will issue a serial number and put that affidavit on the website of the Prime Minister for a fee of Rs 20 per page.

2 Instruction to Talati, Patwari, Village Officer (or his clerk)
The President orders Patwari that :

(2.1) if a woman voter or a dalit voter or a senior citizen voter or a poor voter or a farmer voter or ANY citizen-voter comes with voter ID, and specifies YES_NO on a complaint submitted on Lokpal’s website, the Patwari will enter his YES-NO on the Lokpal’s website along with his voter-ID and give a printed receipt for Rs 3 fee.

(2.5) The fee will be Re 1 for BPL card holder

3 [To all Citizens, Lokpal]
This section is for transparent complain filing only for dalit, poor, women or any voters, it is not a referendum procedure. The Yes-No count will not be a binding on Lokpal etc. However, if over “a certain number” of women voters, dalit voters, senior citizen voters, poor voters, farmer voters or ANY certain number of citizen-voters register YES on a given affidavit, then the Lokpal may or need not take necessary action in two months. Or the Lokpal may resign. The “certain number” will be decided by Lokpal. Lokpal’s decision on this will be final. And all citizens are requested to note that this procedure can be also used to send feedback to Lokpal Selection Committee under section-(6)(6)(i) of this bill.

—– end of addition—-

Summary : I summarize the above proposed clauses in Lokpal draft as : please allow a citizen, if he wants, to put his complaint/affidavit on PM’s website. That’s all. This is less than Pandavas asking for 5 villages.

FAQs

Q1. What is the purpose of clause-2?
A1- Clause-2 is because if 10000 citizens have same complaint, all need not go to Collector’s office and spend Rs 40 and create law-order mess. The load is reduced to filing YES and gets divided over 100s of Patwaries. It decreases travel time for citizens, travel expenses, decreases load on system and decreases possibility of crowding at Collector’s office.

Q2. Can someone buy votes in this procedure?
A2- The Lokpal Draft Committee Member Shri Annaji says we all 75 crore citizens of India, except handful of wealthy and educated in civil society, sell our votes for Rs 100, bottle of liquor and a saree. I will gulp this insult thrown on me and my 75 crore fellow voters. But I request Annaji to ask his supporters in USA how much did they sold away Indian citizenship for. Nevertheless, Annaji may be worried about possibility that we all commons would sell our YESes under clause-2.1. To reply — I request Annaji and all to read clause-2.2 . Clause-2.2 says citizen can change his YES any day. So if a rich man pays a citizen Rs 100, bottle and saree to get a YES, then next day that citizen can change his YES to NO and demand Rs 100, saree and bottle again. Now even if 100 richest men of India start paying Rs 100, bottle and saree everyday to crores of citizens everyday, within month they will all run out of money. So clause-2.2 makes the whole procedure immune to sell-out.

Q3. Costs estimates
A3- Even if 1 crore citizens register YES, the cost is below Rs 3 crore and that covers salary of all clerks. Further, when PM implements the system via ATM and SMS, the cost per YES will drop to few paise per YES/NO. So even if all 75 crore citizens were to register YES on an issue, the cost will be just few lakhs.

FAQs

Q1. Can anyone but approvals or votes in THIS proedure?
A1 – The Lokpal Draft Committee Member Shri Annaji says we all 75 crore citizens of India, except handful of wealthy and educated ones, sell votes for Rs 100, bottle of liquor and a saree. I will gulp this insult thrown on me and my 75 crore fellow voters but vow to return it back with interest. But I request Annaji to ask his supporters in USA how much would they sell their Indian citizenship for. Nevertheless, Annaji may be worried about possibility that we all commons would sell our YESes under clause-5. To reply — I request Annaji and all to read clause-7 . Clause-7 says that if someone pays a citizen Rs 100, bottle and saree to get a YES, then next day that citizen can change his YES to NO and demand Rs 100, saree and bottle again. Now even if 100 richest men of India start paying Rs 100, bottle and saree everyday to crores of citizens everyday, within month they will all run out of money. So clause-7 makes the whole procedure immune to sell-out.

Q2. Costs estimates
A2 – Even if all 75 crore citizens register approvals, the cost is below Rs 250 crore and that covers salary of all clerks. The cost is too small compared to damage corrupt Lokpal can cause. Further, when PM implements the system via ATM and SMS, the cost per YES will drop to few paise per YES/NO. So even if all 75 crore citizens were to register YES on an issue, the cost will be just few lakhs. So cost is non-issue.

Q3. How will citizens know about Lokpal candidates?
A3 – How do citizens know about their MP candidates? Same way they will know about Lokpal candidates. Each citizen will initially approve candidates he knows about. Later, when no candidate gets over 24 crores approvals, citizens will take interest in candidates who are say in top 10 or top 20. The candidates will also file their descriptions as affidavits on net, and citizens who don’t have net can know via 5% citizens who have net on PC or their mobile. In addition, activists of organizations like BST or IAC or political parties can also spread information about candidates in top 20-25 list. This way, more and more citizens will come to know about popular candidates.

Q4. Wont citizens approve a corrupt person as Lokpal?
A4 – If a person can get approvals of crores of citizens by paying them Rs 100, bottle and sari, then surely he can also offer Rs 100 cr to each of the 10 committee members or influence them via lobbyists, corporates, media.. But still lets assume that all committee members are saints and immune to all influences. And lets say that crores of citizens sent the most corrupt person in Lokpal Committee. But he will be only one out 10. The remaining nine members are honest and all appointed by honest committee members. So why should Annaji worry about one corrupt Lokpal member so much? Aren’t nine members capable of dealing with one corrupt member?

Q5. Is these Right to Recall Lokpal clauses unconstitutional?
A5 – Please cite which article of Constitution is violated? And till Supreme Court judges say it is unconstitutional, these proposed clauses are constitutional.

45.10 Reply to Annaji’s lies and insults, that we citizens sell votes

In India, to get membership into civil society, one has to insult us commons by calling us illiterate, vote-seller, unaware, moron etc. The Anna is now apex of civil society and is WalMart of 80G-activism, and so no wonder he has said that ALMOST ALL of us 75 crore citizen-voters of India sell votes for Rs 100, bottle of liquor and saree. His statement also covers me, because I am a common man myself. I would like to refute the lie.

It is a fact that citizens do take money. For that matter, an elitemen will not take Rs 100, but will he turn down Rs 10000 or Rs 100,000? Don’t activists take money from Foundations? But saying that citizens “sell” that vote is not just wrong, but a stupid statement or a lie because every citizen knows, and Annaji too knows that voting is confidential. So voter may have taken money from one or two or even 5 candidates. But inside booth, he votes only for candidate he likes. Hence there is no “selling”, because voting cant be monitored at all.

Now a valid question does come. Why do corrupt candidates win? Answer is — in most elections, all major parties field only corrupt candidates. This is because party presidents don’t like non-corrupt non-criminal candidate as they are difficult to suppress and prefer corrupt and criminal candidates as they are easy to control. A person who has 10s of corruption/crime cases against him can be easily forced to shut up by threatening arrests. Selecting bad candidate is NOT a flaw of voters.

But one more question comes. Then why don’t voters vote for honest independent? Because in India, Election Commission doesn’t allow voter to give preference (multiple votes) but allows voter only to cast one and only one vote. So lets say there are three candidates – dishonest BJP candidate, dishonest Congress candidate and honest independent. Say a voter hates Congress. So he fears that if he votes for the honest independent candidate, then this will increase the possibility that Congress would win. However, if Election Commission were to allow voters to cast preferences, then voter can give first preference to honest independent and second preference to BJP1 and thus vote for honest candidate as well as ensure defeat of Congress1 (see chapter-40 , section 40.11 – Instant Runoff Voting in http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_runoff_voting ). This will increase focus honest independents get and in 1-2 elections, he may be able to defeat dishonest candidates. However, Election Commission opposes enacting preferential ballots and insists on only single voting. So each voter has to vote for candidate-X who can defeat the candidate he hates most. Even if no money was given, the voter who hates Congress1 would still vote for dishonest candidate of BJP1 and voter who hates BJP1 will vote for dishonest candidate of Congress1. So this is due to system, not due to voter or sell out.

If a class-X student says that “voters sell out”, I will call it lack of information. But if a seasoned activists or politician speaks such a lie, I would call it as motivated lie to increase support for dictatorship. The Anna is wants to generate support for a dictatorial Lokpal bill without Right to Recall, and so he is spreading such lies. His slogan is not “mera neta chor hai”, but his slogan is “mere desh ke saare aam aadmi chor hai”.

And above all, while Annaji worries why voters vote for dishonest candidates, he doesn’t say why candidates dare to become corrupt. The main reason is – citizens cant expel them and cant imprison them using Jury System or Majority Vote. It is preposterous that he doesn’t focus on more corrupt people like judges, IAS, IAS, civil society members who launder money via NGOs and is chasing us commons.

45.11 How MNC-pal (aka Lokpal or Janlokpal) will strengthen MNC-owners, weaken India

There is something 10 times worse than corruption that is happening in India. What? Our weapon manufacturing and maths\science education is weakening day by day. Why? The main reason is — MNC-owners are bribing Ministers, IAS at State\Central levels to ruin our weapon manufacturing and maths\science education. And Janlokpal or any Lokpal with no Right to Recall Lokpal can worsen this problem. How?

The Janlokpal or Lokpal selection committee consists of some 9 persons (namely Vice President, PM, Leader of Opposition, 2 Supreme judges, 2 High judges, CEC, CAG) which already may be MNC-owners’ agents or MNCs can easily bribe out or cater via Radia like lobbyists or MNC-owners can blackmail them via mediamen. And thus MNC-owners can ensure that only MNC-puppets with clean image become Janlokpals or Lokpals. And in case a non-puppet becomes Janlokpal or Lokpal, MNC-owners can bribe him out or blackmail him down using mediamen. Using these puppets Janlokpals or Lokpals, MNCs will suppress lower scale corruption (District Collector and below) because low-scale corruption hurts MNCs more than small-medium businessmen. At the same time, the Lokpals will promote policies to weaken Agriculture, Defense Manufacturing and Maths]Science education, so that India becomes more and more dependent on MNCs. How can Lokpal promote such polices? By harassing the IAS, judges, Ministers who oppose these polices and favoring Ministers, judges, IAS who support these policies.

45.12 How MNC-pal (aka Janlokpal) will weaken security, strengthen secessionists

If the MNC-owners manage to plant their agents as 11 Lokpals, which is easy as the 9 members in-charge of appointing Lokpals can be bribed or coerced, then it can weaken Indian security and also strengthen secessionists like Kashmiri secessionists. How? The MNC-owners’ also cater the interests of US Military because US Military caters interests of MNC-owners. The US Military wants independent Kashmir, because if Kashmir becomes independent, then Kashmir will have to invite US Military to protect itself from Pakistan, China and India. So MNC-owners will ask Janlokpals to throw right or wrong charges against every Minister, MP, IAS, IPS etc who are opposing referendum/secession of Kashmir, and thus increase the possibility that Kashmir may secede. But if there is Right to Recall Lokpal, then citizens can replace such Lokpals and thus Lokpals will not dare to harass committed officers on frivolous basis.

45.13 How Janlokpal with no RTR-Lokpal is Missionary-pal

As explained earlier, given the selection-search procedures, it will be piece of cake for MNC-owners to install their men as Lokpals. Now MNC-owners depend on US Military and US Military depends on Missionaries for recruits and motivating soldiers to kill and die !! This may be surprise for many readers, but The Churches are biggest recruiters and motivators for US Military. The Churches always motivate youngsters to join US Military and always mention that Christianity has re-entered Middle East after 1200 years due to US Military only. Now there is always give and take in any business. The Churches will ask US Military to give favors and US Military will ask MNC-owners to give favors. So all in all, the Lokpals will have to do a lots of favors to the Missionaries. The favors will be done by throwing right or wrong corruption cases against all Ministers, MPs, officers, policemen etc who oppose Missionaries. However, if there is Right to Recall Lokpal, such nefarious activities wont happen, because citizens would promptly replace such Missionary-pal. And threat of replacement will ensure that the Lokpal doesn’t dare to become Missionary-pal.

45.14 Response of IAC members, The Anna and The Team on RTR-Lokpal etc

Over 99% IAC members haven’t read even 2 out of 27 pages. When I describe the bill, they too are horrified at the certainty that Lokpal with no RTR-Lokpal is nothing but MNC-pal and Missionary-pal So almost all IAC members I meet say that Transparent Complaint Filing is must and almost all also agree with RTR-Lokpal-clauses. Many say that they have spoken to The Anna and The Team personally and some said that they read each of the RTR-Lokpal clause in Hindi as well. These IAC members tell me neither The Anna nor any of The Team Members are showing any interest in RTR-Lokpal.

45.15 Why The Anna opposes RTR-Lokpal-clauses?

The Anna was an Anna of a village and how he is The Anna of India. He was a small time (and no disrespect for small and I myself is a small guy) kirana level activist like myself, and how he is Walmart of activism. But who gave him all the fame? The TV-channels and newspapers. And who paid the TV-channels and the newspapers? The MNC-owners. Why? Three reasons — to kill the fame of Shri Ramdevji, to wash away the Swiss money issue and also to camouflage MNC-pal as Janlokpal. In return, what does The Anna get? Not money — The Anna doesn’t take money, and he is not at all interested in money. Then what does The Anna want and is promised to get in return?
What did Mohanbhai-1 want? Not money, not power. What did Nehru want? Not money. And say he wanted power, but then, what did he want after he had power? Fame. Many people have extreme urge to have lots and lots of fame and some have morbid wish to become immortal in history. They wont take a penny of bribe, as this may hurt their image in blind bhagats around him and also may suffer bad reputation. But they can do any harm to society for fame.

To get fame, they speak what elitemen who pay mediamen want them to say and not to say. Eg Mohanbhai-1 supported execution of Mahatma Bhagat Singh, because he saw that that would make British lakhs of rupees to newspapers to create good image of Mohanbhai-1. Likewise, he started Dandi March to disperse Purna Swaraj movement started by Mahatma Bhagat Singh in prison via his court trial speeches. Because Mohanbhai-1 saw that British would gladly pay newspapers to give him all the publicity he wants to so that Purna Swaraj Movement gets dispersed.

The Anna knows that Janlokpal with no RTR-Lokpal is MNC-pal and Missionary-pal. And he knows that this will take India towards slavery of MNC-owners. And he knows that if he supports RTR-Lokpal, then MNC-owners will stop giving him publicity and fame, and worse, MNC-owners may also unleash negative propaganda against him in newspapers and TV-channels and ruin all his reputation. That’s why The Anna is opposing the proposal to add Right to Recall Lokpal clauses in Lokpal draft.

45.16 The way out

The way out I suggest is — ask all Ministers and also The Anna to support proposal to add RTR-Lokpal clauses in the Lokpal drafts. If The Anna supports the proposal, then RTR movement will advance. And if The Anna opposes RTR-Lokpal then The Anna will get exposed and RTR Movement will still advance. And if Janlokpal with RTR-Lokpal passes, then India will be greatly benefited. Within 3 months after this law-draft passes, RTR will come on every position from PM to Talati and India will become a much better and stronger place. So way out I suggest is — please campaign for RTR-Lokpal clauses.

45.17 Conclusion — What can you do make MNC-pal a true Janlokpal?

Please write following letter to PM and also The Anna.

Dear Sir,
We request you put all feedbacks on Draft Committee websites. And we request you to add clauses in Lokpal bill which will ensure that a citizen will be able to put his affidavit on Lokpal’s website which can be seen to public. And citizen can add their names to the affidavits support. And also request you to add Right to Recall Lokpal clauses, because without Right to Recall Lokpal, Jan Lokpal will become Dhan Lokpal i.e. MNC-owners’ agent. At least one out of ten Lokpal members should be recallable , replaceable by us citizens.
Regards ,

46.1 How/Why Pakistan and Imperial China may unite against India?

To begin with, I would request the reader to use his intense discretion. Predicting war or non-war is prone to too much inaccuracy. Eg many predicted WW-3 between Russia and USA, and it never happened. And none predicted US-Iraq wars and none predicted US-Libya wars and they happened. So none can predict how and when India-China War will happen, if at all that happens. And none can predict if Pakistan + Saudi Arabia + China + Bangladesh will do a combined assault on India or not,, and if they do, when/why and how. All this prediction business is useless – no one can be right even if he is lucky that he got it right.. Nevertheless, there are reasons why we may face a war against (China + Pakistan + Bangladesh + Saudi Arabia) and following are the factors that may lead to such a war.

Factor-1 : Reaction against oil loot and Christianization unleashed by Americans

The Imperial Americans, with goal of capturing oil wells and Christianizing the whole world, have captured Iraq and now captured Libya. Iraq as of now (dec-2011) over 15% Christian due to systematic conversion methods employed by the US Army, US Missionaries and duely approved by citizens of America. Due to this rapid Christianization, a revolt is brewing in Saudi Arabia against the King, because the King is still supporting the Americans. The Saud Princes are becoming more and more unpopular to the extent that many in Saudi Arabia now believe that the Saud Princes have secretly accepted Christianity and are working with Americans in destroying Islam across Middle East and whole world. All in all, a revolt is brewing in Saudi Arabia.

If revolt in Saudi Arabia happens, it may be beginning of the end for India as we know. How?

The new regime in Saudi Arabia will be Islamists and will be under threat from USA. It will need soldiers and weapons to thwart the threat. Now Saudi Arabia has a lot of oil and wealth, but has no soldiers and no weapons. Pakistan has soldiers to spare but Pakistan has no weapons, and Pakistan has no money to buy weapons. Imperial China has weapons, but Imperial China can`t afford to give weapons for free. So (China + Pakistan + Arabia) make a mutually dependent combination – each has something with other two dont and each one needs something that other two can provide. So if a revolt happens in Saudi Arabia, then Saudi Arabia may give money to Pakistan to get soldiers and give money to China to buy weapons. Pakistan will use the money to buy weapons for China. And China has nothing to lose.

Factor-2 : Iran

Another factor is Iran. After devouring Iraq and Libya, USA now wants to destroy Iran and obtain all its oil wells. Imperial China had made 100s of billions of dollars of investment in Libya and USA destroyed or captured all of it. Now investment of Imperial China in Iran is threatened. So China has no option but to provide weapons to Iran. Iran has deep animosity with Saudi Arabia as well as Pakistan. But given that USA is all committed to loot oil or Iran and Christianize Iran, Iran may have to join Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. This will further damage India.

Factor-3 : USA benefits if Pakistan + Bangladesh + China attack India

Now if Pakistan attacks India, Imperial USA stands to gain, as India will then have import weapons from USA (or UK or France) and dependence on weapons and parts will ensure that India becomes a slave of USA. And then USA can use Indian soldiers as camels to destroy Imperial China. Even though Imperial China knows that Indo-Pakistan war will make India a slave of USA and will hurt China, China cant refuse weapons’ sale to Pakistan and Iran. And China has no way to stop Pakistan from attacking India. Besides, China does see a benefit in destroying India.

The End Goals of Imperial USA and Imperial China

The end goal of Imperial China is to divide India into several parts, each one at constant war with others so that China can devour minerals of India peacefully. The end goal of Imperial USA is same plus it wants to Christianize India (same as East India Company of 1750s).

46.2 Options for citizens of India? — give guns to all

The wealthy Indian citizens can flee out of India. Most wealth Indian citizens have a house in US or Australia or New Zealand or UK or Canada etc and have investments there. They can easily flee to those countries and live happily ever after. Those who think are unable to flee or have ego problems against fleeing will have to think about other options.

So what options do we, i.e. those who cant flee to US, have?

To fight these wars, we will need weapons. As I mentioned in earlier topics in this book, we can either manufacture weapons or import weapons from US. If we import from weapons from US (or West), then eventually USA will use dependence on weapons to gain control inside polity, and wreck Math\Science education and make us more dependent on US for manufacturing of everything.

If we decide not to import weapons, then what options do we have?

The only option, I could think of is – manufacturing guns and giving guns to all citizens of India. Please note that this is only option that I could think. There may be people who claim to have far better option. I can compare their options with mine after they write the options they propose.

The reason why I say give guns to all is because guns and bullets is something we can manufacture in India. And we cant manufacture complex weapons like tanks, fighter planes etc in a short span of few years. If all citizens have guns, they can stop the invading armies and guns will be so distributed that foreign Air Force can only destroy a small fraction of it no matter how many bombs they throw. So the solution I propose to two-front war to fully de-license gun manufacturing and ownership and promote gun owning as far as possible.

46.3 What can YOU do to deal with possibility of two-front war

Please read chap-13 of this book http://rahulmehta.com/301.htm . It has several steps where-in you can spend 6 hours a week and help to bring TCP draft in Gazette in India. The steps involve distributing pamphlets, informing citizens on motives of leaders such as Congress MPs, BJP MPs, The Anna etc who oppose TCP draft, by giving newspaper ads and contesting elections. Once TCP gets printed in Gazette, using TCP, it will become easy for activists to get citizens’ opinion law-drafts necessary to create Military and weaponized citizenry to deal with two-front war.

47.1 Strengthening Weapon manufacturing and Military – The must step to reduce conversion

Many of those who wish to stop conversions give a simple solution — enact a law-draft to ban conversion and imprison the priests etc who are trying to convert people. Well, the approach “just make the law” or “just use the police” will fail

1. if and when US Army itself lands into India
2. if leaders are discouraging weapon manufacturing and so Indian Military is dependent on MNC-owners to provide weapons to defend India from Pakistan\China.
3. if leaders are creating economy if dependent on MNC-owners.

I will elaborate each point.

1. When US Military land in India :
Many countries such as Iraq etc could stop conversion from Islam to Christianity by banning it by law-draft or through policies and using police to imprison those who were trying to convert people. And the approach ended when US Military took over Iraq. After US Military took over Iraq, it converted about 15% of population into Christianity via various indirect means. So if the administrative setups activists and their leaders are creating bans on conversion, but it is not promoting large scale quality weapon manufacturing, then sooner or later, US Military will arrive and then conversions will start at large scale. And if activists are promoting administrative structure that promotes weapon manufacturing, then perhaps laws to ban conversion may not be needed at all – conversion may end without any laws. Because an administrative structure that promotes local weapon manufacturing will also promotes economic upliftment, improves court, increases science\maths education and so reduces faith in all religious beliefs and promotes mild atheism. This reduces conversions automatically.

2. Indian Military becomes dependent on USA for weapons :
Next, lets say US Military never comes. But if activists opt for an administrative setup that discourages small “unconnected” industrialist and thus discourages weapon manufacturing, then Indian Military will become dependent on MNC-owners for weapons to defend itself from China\Pakistan. So MNC-owners will tell the leaders “promote pro-conversion laws and policies, or else we will block the supply of weapons and spare-parts”, and the leaders will have to promote pro-conversion laws and policies. The MNC-owned media will continue to promote leaders as string leaders, but in reality these leaders would have no option but to promote laws and policies that promote conversions

3. Indian economy becomes dependent on MNCs :
Further, if activists promote administrative setup that doesn’t promote small\large industrialists, then industries will fall back, and will create a vacuum wherein MNC-owners will get in. And as more and more mineral mines and manufacturing companies come under MNC-owners, they will increase domination in policy-making. This too will lead to policies that will promote conversions

So if the activists insist on a setup that discourages weapon manufacturing and technology growth, then sooner or later, the western-MNC-owners’ domination via Military or via weapon-sales of via establishment of factories will increase and this will lead to conversions. Conversely, if activists wish to reduce conversions, then mere law-making, banning, sloganeering etc wont do much good. It is necessary that activists force PM\CMs to print Gazette Notification drafts that will reduce unfairness on local small\large industrialists and promote weapon manufacturing.

47.2 How bad Gazette Notification drafts in education increase conversions

If the activists do not focus on Gazette Notification drafts necessary to improve education, it is likely that due to pressure of foreigners, the Ministers and IAS will print drafts that create an education system that makes good Maths\Science education very expensive. So while upper class will not even notice, but the lower class will become restless. At this point, the Missionaries will step in and provide reasonably good quality education to the poor and this will promote conversion. Eg today in India, the Ministers have made questions papers in exams easy, have ordered teachers not to fail students and are also eliminating 10th class board exams. This will worsen the quality of education. Further, recently, around Feb-10-2012, Ministers abolished IIT-JEE and this will reduce the time 8th class to 12th class students were spending in studying Maths\Science and will reduce So as Govt schools’ standard worsen, the poor may start sending their kids to Missionary run schools en-masse.

And MNC-owners may deliberately force\manipulate IAS\Ministers to print drafts that will worsen Maths\Science education in the Govt schools so that Missionaries schools get more\better students. This approach has been tried and worked successfully in South Korea, and is also being implemented in India as I write this book.
The solution is that activists should ensure that drafts like RTR DEO, RTR Education Minister etc are printed in the Gazette and there are other necessary drafts that improve the Maths\Science education.

47.3 How bad Gazette Notification drafts in Health and medicine increase conversions

Because of bribes given by MNC-owners to MPs, the MPs in 1998 and later in 2004 made laws which strengthened parent laws on medicine in India. Later, the MNC-owners also bribes IAS\Ministers to enact laws that will make it difficult for small pharmaceutical companies to work cost effectively. So the prices of many medicine shot up by several times since 1996. Again, the rich wont even notice. But the poor had nom option but to turn to Missionaries.

So solution is that activists should force PM\CM to print a Gazette Notification canceling patent laws of 1998 and 2004, and restore the patent laws of 1972. And in addition, health care should be subsidized.

47.4 RRP proposals to reduce conversions

My suggestion to activists is that they should convince PM to print TCP draft in the Gazette. Once TCP is printed in Gazette, it will become possible to collect citizens’ opinion on the following proposed Gazette Notification drafts, and take following steps :-

1. Print MRCM draft in Gazette : Once MRCM-draft (see chap-5 of this book http://rahulmehta.com/301.htm ) is printed in Gazette, citizens will directly get mineral royalties and land rent from GoI plots into their own accounts. This will reduce poverty and this will reduce conversions.

2. Print Right to Recall District Education Officer and RTR Education Minister in Gazette : This will improve education in Govt schools and so people will have lesser reasons to send their kids to Missionary schools, and thus conversion will reduce

3. Print Gazette Notification repealing patent laws over medicine : this will bring the costs of medicine and will further reduce conversions

4. Print Gazette Notifications that will improve Military : There is a long list of Gazette Notifications needed to improve Military and weapon manufacturing in India – they are described in chap-24 . Some of them are – enact wealth tax, enact inheritance tax, improve courts so that small\large industrialists face less unfairness, RTR District Education Officer, RTR Education Minister, introduce weapon education as subject and so forth.

5. Print Gazette notifications that would reduce unfairness in courts, police : Unfairness in police and courts is the biggest reason that makes a person drive himself away from society and can even make him hate his society and his religion. When there is rampant unfairness in courts and police, it becomes easy for Missionaries to convince the victims and also those who care that the reason for unfairness is religion and prompt them for conversion.

6. Right to Recall Police Chief , Right to Recall judges : Many instances of atrocities on Dalits happen because of lack of RTR over Police Chief and lack of RTR over judges. eg Some 6 years back, the head trustee of a famous temple in Orissa openly told on TV that they will not allow Dalits to enter temple. But the High Court judges did not imprison him and did not even send him any notice. If people had RTR High Court judges, then High Court judges would have immediately sent summons, and threatened him with prison sentence, in which case the temple trustee would have immediately apologized. But since citizens don’t have RTR judges, the High Court judge took no action and as a result some 500 dalits announced that they would convert. All in all, cases of atrocities and insults happen because judges look aside, and they would happen less if judges take prompt actions. And RTR judges (and JurySys) are the only way to ensure that courts take fast/fair actions.

47.5 The steps that will fail to reduce conversion

Lakhs of activists, such as RSS activists, VHP activists, Bajrang Dal activists etc want conversions to reduce without violence or force. Sadly they are working under several activist leaders, who are asking these committed activists to spend (waste) their time on actions which will not reduce conversions. Some of these activist leaders are RSS leaders, VHP leaders, Bajrang Dal leaders etc.

IOW, RSS workers, VHP workers etc are truly committed and want to reduce conversion without force. But their leaders in RSS\VHP have nefarious agenda, and so they are wasting away the workers’ time. Following are the useless things they do and useful things they refuse to do

1. The leaders ask their activists not to spend any time in understanding in law-drafts and Gazette-drafts. They insist that workers should only spend time in charity or rallying, but never spend time in understanding law-drafts

2. The leaders also ask activists not to show any interest at all in Gazette drafts needed to reduce unfairness in courts and unfairness in police. So the unfairness in court/police and resulting insults/atrocities go on and keeps the poor pushing away from Hinduism. Further, poverty and poor education in Govt schools

3. The leaders also ask activists not to show any interest at all in Gazette drafts needed improve education in Govt schools. So govt schools remain badly managed and so the poor are promoted to send their kids to Missionary schools.

4. The leaders also ask activists not to show any interest at all in Gazette drafts needed reduce health care costs at Govt Hospitals and improve the reach of Govt Health care depts. So health care remains in bad share and so the poor are promoted to take services from Missionaries.

5. The leaders also ask activists not to show any interest at all in Gazette drafts needed to improve Military and weapon manufacturing. So this leaves India vulnerable to takeover from US Military which will end up into en-masse conversions.

6. The leaders ask their activists to demand laws to ban conversion. These laws will not help even a bit — because conversion is after all by minds and hearts and can be done privately. For 100s of years, Romans had banned Christianity and used to execute Christian on sight. Despite this, Christianity could grow secretly to a point that as high as 20% of population became Christian, and after that the local Governors were forced to abandon the laws to ban Christianity. Also, legal ban will help only till US Military arrives. And unless activists take steps to strengthen Indian Military and Weapon Manufacturing, nothing will stop US Military from arriving.

7. And when elections come, the leaders ask activists to do nothing except campaign for BJP, and BJP leaders come into power and do nothing but collect bribes. Since the activists have no background knowledge of Gazette Notification drafts, they cant even think of asking for drafts, and so problems remaining unsolved.

All in all the leaders are doing nothing but waste away time of activists and thus block good drafts from coming into Gazette. And so the problem of conversion goes on and on.

47.6 How arrival of Hinduvadi dictatorship will speed up conversion

Many activists think that best way to reduce conversion is to install a Hinduvadi dictatorship. I request them to study South Korea under Park Chung-hee. Chung-hee was a devout Buddhist who became dictator of South Korea in 1962. He discouraged conversions as far as possible using all means. But during his time, Church grew massively. In 1962, Christians were below 5% of SoKo population and by 1980, they were above 20% and today they are above 40%. How could it happen, right under the nose of Buddhist dictator?

Because when activists start supporting a dictator, the dictators’ staff becomes powerful and ruthless. And the dictator fails to even know the wrong doings of their staff, forget correct the wrongs. Gradually, large industrialists and MNC-owners and so the small industrialists get extreme unfair treatment from administration. So small industrialist fail to improve goods and so technological level of nation worsens. So the dictator is left with no option but to invite MNC-owners en-masse. And gradually, MNC-owners create education policy that would worsen maths\science education in Govt schools and this will push the poor towards schools run by Missionary. So after 10-20 years, the students of Missionary schools will have better maths\science education so they will get better positions in economy, administration etc.

So if activists start supporting a Hindu dictatorship, then same things will repeat. The dictator due to pressure of local elitemen will NOT be able to take steps to improve education (such as RTR DEO, RTR Education Minister etc). The dictator will also fail to impose wealth tax, inheritance tax etc needed to bring down land price, increase employment and reduce poverty. The elitemen will also force the dictator to reduce funds to education, health etc. These policies will create massive unrest and unemployment, which will force the Hinduvaadi dictator to invite MNC-owners to start industries. The MNC-owners will gain power to influence people inside India and using this power they will drafts printed in Gazette which will worsen maths\science education and health-care in Govt Hospitals. This will prompt the poor to go to Missionaries for education and health, and thus convert them gradually. So superficially, official conversions will reduce. But the influence of Missionaries will increase and so later both, official as well as unofficial conversions will increase.
So if the Hinduvaadi activists fall for the illusion, that Hinduvaadi dictator can reduce conversions, then that may be beginning of the end of Hinduism in India.

47.7 The plus points of Missionaries and MNC-owners

So if the Hinduvaadi activists fall for the illusion, that Hinduvaadi dictator can reduce conversions, then that may be beginning of the end of Hinduism in India.

As Far As I Think, Christianity does not have any plus points over Hinduism. But due to better drafts in the Gazette of countries such as USA, UK, Australia etc, the unfairness in their courts\police is far less. And so people are more productive i.e. in lesser amount of time. So they have produced more and better luxurious goods as well as weapons. So they are able to defeat and overpower leaders of other countries and plant their agents in the judiciary, IAS, IPS and Ministers of weaker countries. And wherever MNC-owners go, they assist Missionaries defeat other religions and gain converts.

Why do MNC-owners assist Missionaries? Because MNC-owners need help from USA Military, and US Military gets recruits via Churches. Churches are the biggest recruiters in USA Military i.e. Churches motivate US youth to join Military. So MNC-owners have to cater the demands of Missionaries, as Missionaries are favoring them indirectly.

To break the menace in long run, we must improve courts\police etc so that unfairness in India’s courts\police, so that our growth also improves.

47.8 Summary

It is possible to reduce conversions without force, but I see no shortcuts. IMO, the activists will have to take interest in forcing PM\CMs in printing Gazette Notification drafts to reduce problems which is increasing conversion rate. Shortcuts like make a law-draft to ban conversion, or imprison those who converts or tries to convert or install a dictator who will stop conversions are all going to backfire. The adversary, namely MNC-owners and Missionaries are too powerful and also productive when it comes to running factories, hospitals and schools. Their higher productivity is due to drafts in their Gazette. And the only solution is that we must print better drafts in our Gazette. There are no shortcuts.

47.9 What can YOU do to deal with possibility of two-front war

Please read chap-13 of this book http://rahulmehta.com/301.htm . It has several steps where-in you can spend 6 hours a week and help to bring TCP draft in Gazette in India. The steps involve distributing pamphlets, informing citizens on motives of leaders such as Congress MPs, BJP MPs, The Anna etc who oppose TCP draft, by giving newspaper ads and contesting elections. Once TCP gets printed in Gazette, using TCP, it will become easy for activists to get citizens’ opinion law-drafts necessary to reduce conversion without use of force or legal force. Once explicit public opinion is proved, it will be easy for citizens to convince PM to print these drafts in the Gazette, and thus reduce conversions.

48.1 RTR in India before 1925

A reference to Right to Recall is very much there in Satyarth Prakash written by Shri Dayanand Saraswatiji in 1870. Satyarth Prakash chap-6, shloka-7 says “Raajaa must be Prajaadheen or else he will rob citizens”. RTR is a procedural technique to make the Raajaa Prajaadheen i.e. dependent on people. And the shloka has been taken from Atharvaved written thousands of years ago. So RTR must had been a popular concept in the ancient times.
In modern Indian politics, till 1925, there was no explicit mention of “Right to Recall” procedure, as far as I could find.

48.2 RTR in India : from 1925 to 1998

The first explicit reference to RTR in modern Indian politics, as far as I have found, was made by Mahatma Sachendra Nath Sanyal. Mahatma Sachendra Nath Sanyal was the founder of Hindustan Republican Association, and was also Guru of Mahatma Bhagat Singh. Mahatma Sanyal wrote in manifesto of HRA in 1-jan-1925 “In this Republic (that we wish to create) the electors shall have the right to recall their representatives, if so desired, otherwise the democracy shall become a mockery.” (see : shahidbhagatsingh.org/index.asp?link=revolutionary ). This is, as far as I could find, the first explicit mention of “Right to Recall” in the modern Indian politics. After that, M N Roy insisted that Right to Recall is must in his book “the Draft Constitution of India” in 1946, but due to age and ill health he could not go far. Later Jaiprakash Narayan started a (true or psuedo) campaign for Right to Recall from 1950 onwards till he passed away in 1978. His demand for Right to Recall became a leading demand in activists from 1970-78. The Janata Party manifesto in 1977 also had promise for Right to Recall. Many of his juniors – such as Nitish Kumar, Laloo Yadav, Mulayam Yadav, Sharad Yadav, Sushil Modi, Ram Vilas Paswan etc claimed in 1970s that they were die hard supporters of Right to Recall. However, Jaiprakash Narayan never ever proposed Right to Recall draft for positions of MP, MLA etc and never made any attempt to bring Right to Recall draft inside Parliament. Due to this reason, I do suspect motives of Jayprakash Narayan. Many of his men became CM in States. Jaiprakash never asked them to pass RTR laws at State levels.

Apart from JPN, an attempt to spread information on Right to Recall was made by the legendary revolutionary Mahatma Batukeskawar Dutt in 1950s. Mahatma Batukeshwar Dutt was sentenced 10 years in Kala Pani for throwing bomb in National Assembly along with Mahatma Bhagat Singh in 1929. Mahatma Batukeshwar Dutt was follower of Mahatma Sachendra Nath Sanyal , who had proposed Right to Recall in 1925. After independence, Mahatma Batukeshwar had started spreading information on Right to Recall, because, he like his Guru Mahatma Sanyal, also perhaps believed in RTR. But he could not gather much momentum. Most likely, because the activists who liked RTR must have joined Jaiprakash Narayan, and Dutt was not able to create a group.

Now an interesting question comes against Jaiprakash Narayan. The fact that he always opposed the proposal to put an RTR draft in Assembly and Parliament proves that he was psuedo-recallists and his aim was to ensure that RTR never comes. Then why did he took the RTR cause to begin with? He could have just ignore the RTR cause. But the attempts made Mahatma Batukeshwar Dutt explains what prompted Jaiprakash Narayan to become a psuedo-recallist. If the elitemen do not sponsor a psuedo-recallist leader, then those who had liked RTR would have started working with Mahatma Batukeshwar Dutt and this would have strengthened the true RTR movement. IOW, the true RTR movement led by Batukeshwar Dutt created an opportunity for psuedo-recallists to obtain space in the media, and Jaiprakash Narayan grabbed that opportunity. This is the only plausible explanation I can think of to explain why Jaiprakash Narayan started a pseudo-recallist movement.
In any case, after his death in 1978, most of his students stopped talking about Right to Recall and RTR movement vanished without trace.

48.3 Neo-Recallist movement : from oct-1998 to may-2009

I started RTR-movement in oct-1998, and I call it as Neo-Recallist movement. The main feature has been : anyone who claims he supports RTR must first give the draft he proposes. This was necessary and sufficient to make it difficult for psuedo-recallists to hijack and destroy the movement. The draft and the “draft is must” feature is what took the movement ahead and protected it.

I first published several RTR procedure drafts in oct-1998 in http://democracy.mkolar.org/Mehta.html , http://rahulmehta.com/usa.bootstrapping.pdf and in http://rahulmehta.com/Bootstrapping.Vol1.pdf . Later, in mar-2000, I published them on http://eCharcha.com and also on http://bharat-rakshak.com under my names MehtaRahulC and “Rahul Mehta”. On both these forum, I became most hated member because on both forum majority of postors hated RTR (and still hate RTR).

The procedures I had proposed in 1998 insisted on Legislation rather than Gazette Notification and the procedures low per citizen costs, but had high threshold costs and so did not appeal to too many non-80G-activists. But many liked it and spent their time, and gave me feedback. As I got more and more feedbacks, I modified drafts and newer procedures had lesser threshold costs. So the support from non-80G-activists increased.

In aug-2004, I published the current versions of TCP-draft, RTR-drafts, MRCM-draft and other drafts. These drafts use Gazette Notifications and not legislation, and also threshold costs are as low as Rs 20. The drafts started gaining more and more acceptance in more and more non-80G-activists. But process remained slow because I was not willing to spend money in giving newspaper advertisements and I wrongly considered election contesting as useless, and so did not contest elections.

Finally, in dec-2008, I gave first newspaper advertisement in Gujarat Samachar, Ahmedabad (pls see scanned copy of the advt at http://rahulmehta.com/ad1.jpg , and for clear copy see http://rahulmehta.com/ad01.pdf ). This generated some more interest and convinced non-80G-activists that I am serious. Later, I gave one more advertisement in Gujarat Samachar in Jan-2009 (pls see scanned copy of the advt at http://rahulmehta.com/ad2.jpg , and for clear copy see http://rahulmehta.com/ad02.pdf ) and then Indian Express in Jan-2009 (pls see scanned copy of the advt at http://rahulmehta.com/ad3.jpg , and for clear copy see http://rahulmehta.com/ad03.pdf )

These advertisements generated more interest in non-80G-activists, and several of them downloaded and read the RTR drafts. It did not generate much interest in mediamen. Despite lack of media support, the number of recallists gradually started to increase due to individual level spread.

48.4 The Neo-Recallist movement : from apr-2009 till feb-2011

In apr-2009, I contested Loksabha-2009 election in Gandhinagar Constituency. The main candidate in that seat was Lal Krishna Advani himself. I was not contesting against him, I was only contesting to publicize Right to Recall law-drafts. LKA was sure to win, as Ahmedabad/Gandhinagar area is very much anti-Congress as most voters fear that if Congress wins, then Congress will create 5 Dawoods. Besides, the air in may-2009 was that BJP was sure to get majority seats and LKA was to be PM. In that election, my campaign was limited — only five newspaper advertisements, 20000 pamphlets and a few meetings. I got one favorable article from Ahmedabad Mirror. I got about 7300 votes and was 4th rank. The outcome was significant because on the day I had filled election form, hardly 300 people knew me !! The rest voted only because they liked the legal-administrative proposals mentioned in my advertisement. And my claim is – over 70000 voters intensely liked these proposals — of which 63000 did not vote as they thought that voting me only benefits Congress (or benefits BJP). But as I mentioned in chap-13, the purpose of contesting election was not to win elections or even get votes – but so that more and more people read the advertisements and pamphlets. So all in all, my contesting election on Right to Recall PM, RTR-judges and MRCM planks not only gave information about RTR to citizens in Ahmedabad, but via internet, 1000s of non-80G-activists over internet. Many non-80G-activists started printing and distributing leaflets on their own and also started sending emails, using Facebook etc to promote Right to Recall.

A major boost to Right to Recall came from Rajiv Dixitji of Bharat Swabhiman Trust. Dixitji had been supporting RTR since 1996. In Jan-2009, Swami Ramdevji formed Bharat Swabhiman Trust, and Dixitji became an apex figure in BST. He asked 1000s of volunteers to promote RTR in citizens. More and more volunteers took interest in Right to Recall. On nov-28-2010, he made a public speech in Mahouli Tahsil in Chhatisgadh supporting Right to Recall. Sadly, on nov-30-2010, he was murdered. This was a big loss to the Right to Recall movement.

So from apr-2009 to feb-2011, the movement made significant progress. The information that RTR-PM costs less than Rs 250 crore, does not create instability and reduces not just corruption but also MNC-domination must have reached to over 5000 non-80G-activists, of which perhaps about 200 were spending 3-4 hours a week in spreading this information further.

48.5 The Neo-Recallist movement : from feb-2011 till Dec-2011 (time of writing this paragraph)

A big event happened on 08-feb-2011 – The Anna and The Team claimed that they support RTR !! Since then, the Anna and The Team tried to create immense damage to Right to Recall, and were successful along one dimension but ended up help RTR-movement along other dimension. In section-13.6, I have shown that the Anna is a psuedo-recallist. Then what forced the Anna to give lip service to RTR?

Let me give some background of The Anna and his relation with RTR-movement. In Aug-2010, I came in contact via internet forums with Mumbai based activists, who were drafting law called as Lokpal to reduce corruption. I looked at their draft, and saw that these people were being fooled by Ford Foundation and assorted foreign NGOs who wanted to impose oligarchy in India so that they have fewer people to bribe with. I tried to convince them that MNC-domination, weakening of Indian Military, Poverty and Bangladeshi Infiltration were bigger problems than so called retail corruption in low level Govt offices. But they were not interested in anything except Lokpal. So I tried convincing that Lokpal will increase MNC-domination if Lokpals chose to become MNC-agents. This argument appealed them and they asked for remedies. So I drafted Right to Recall clauses (see http://rahulmehta.com/lokpal2.pdf ) and showed them. They liked the Right to Recall Lokpal clauses , and added it to their Lokpal draft !!
In nov-2010, I heard from them that Anna and several other noted activists were going to start agitation for the Lokpal drafts. I was pleasantly surprised. Pleasant – because that would mean information about inexpensive RTR procedure will now reach crores of citizens, and surprised because I could not believe that so many elite activists would ever agree to campaign for a draft which has these RTR clauses, because mediamen would never sponsor RTR. The pleasantness as well as surprise vanished in Dec-2010, when I saw their Lokpal draft (which was then renamed as Janlokpal draft), I found that RTR-Lokpal pages were gone. I asked the junior activists and they said that Anna and Team did not like RTR-Lokpal clauses, so the removed RTR-Lokpal clauses and are no longer approachable

So starting Dec-2010, we Recallists started campaigning for “proposal to add RTR-Janlokpal clauses in Janlokpal draft”. We knew that The Anna and The Team were publicity-maniac and also propped by MNC-owners’ fronts such as Ford Foundation etc and so they would never support RTR-Janlokpal clauses. So why did we ask for RTR-Janlokpal clauses? Because if they accept, it is good for India and if they don’t, then at least we can convince the non-80G-activists that The Anna is anti-RTR and request them to guess the motives. So we campaigned for RTR-Lokpal clauses
Between dec-2010 and feb-2010, scores of non-80G-activists called me and said that they had presented RTR-Lokpal clauses to The Anna and The Team. They said that The Anna supports RTR but refuses to add RTR-Lokpal clauses in Lokpal draft !! Nevertheless, more and more non-80G-activists kept asking The Anna to add RTR-Lokpal clauses in Janlokpal draft.

So finally, The Anna must have seen that he if doesn’t give lip service to RTR, he will stand exposed before non-80G-activists. This forced the Anna to give lip service to RTR. So on 08-feb-2011, The Anna started paying lip service to RTR, but as I had expected, showed all tendencies of a psuedo-recallist. Nevertheless, the fact that The Anna had to mutter “Right to Recall” words from his own mouth took these words to billion citizens overnight. So along one dimension, the Anna unwillingly ended up benefiting RTR movement. But immediately, LKA, Chief Election Commissioner, Salman Khurshid, Pranav Mukherjee, Subramanian Swamy etc opposed RTR and falsely said that “RTR is expensive, RTR is impractical, RTR will create instability etc etc”, The Anna refused to issue a rebuttal in media or even on their websites. The reason why Anna refused to issue rebuttal was that The Anna wanted to create a public perception that RTR is indeed a bad idea. Let me give an analogy — (i)say a lawyer has sold out and so that lawyer remains silent and deliberately doesn’t give counter arguments (ii)he will do this only to weaken his case.

But this enabled us true-Recallists to take our inexpensive efficient procedural drafts and convince many non-80G-activists that our RTR drafts are efficient, inexpensive, reduces MNC-domination along with corruption (unlike Janlokpal which decreases corruption but increases MNC-domination) . So number of Recallists started increasing. So all in all, The Anna’s attempt to hijack and destroy Right to Recall ended up with following benefits and losses to my neo-Recallist movement between feb-2011 and dec-2011 :

1. More people came to hear the words “Right to Recall” from say few lakhs to several 10s of crores.

2. Number of people who believed that RTR is useful increased from some 1000 to 5000

3. Number of people who believed that RTR is useless also increased, from say few lakhs to several crores because The Anna deliberately did not refute false claims of LKA, CEC Kureshi, Subramanian Swamy etc

4. The % ratio of those who believed that RTR is useful to RTR is useless decreased !!
So (1), (2) and (4) were losses, (2) was benefit.

Many would like to believe that The Anna was and is sincere about RTR. Well, if he was sincere about RTR, then why did he oppose the propose to add RTR Lokpal clauses in his Lokpal draft? And why does he still insist on signature based procedure which increase the cost of RTR by 20-100 times? And why doesn’t he refute the claims of LKA, CEC and Subramanian Swamy when they made false statements against RTR? Please see 10 characteristics of psuedo-recallist in section-13.6. You will notice that The Anna not only exhibits all 10 characterizes, he gets 100 out 100 points in each test.

Now why does the Anna oppose Right to Recall in reality (though he claims he supports it)? The reason is same as why the Anna support Janlokpal and opposed Right to Recall Janlokpal? Basically, the Anna is a fame-maniac or a publicity-maniac. In his whole life, he could not get any fame outside one district. He saw that if he supports Janlokpal and opposes Right to Recall Janlokpal, the MNCs will pay 100s of crores of rupees to TV-channels to get him fame, and MNCs will also get him man of year award in Time Magazine. If he supports RTR, he knows that MNCs will pull plug and all the fame he got will disappear.

Now an Anna-bhagat may ask : if the Anna is anti-RTR, then what was the need for him to say on 08-feb-2011 and again on 28-aug-2011, that he was committed to RTR? Talking about RTR gets no sponsorship. Well, that was all because of pressure of non-80G-activists around him. The Anna could have asked all prop-RTR non-80G-activists to take a hike, but then they would have independently started campaigning for RTR (i.e. same as joining my RRP) which would have eroded his value in the eyes of MNC-owners. The biggest value MNC-owners saw in the Anna was that he was able to waste away time of non-80G-activists. If the Anna fails to keep non-80G-activists with him, and fails to waste away their time, then MNC-owners will see no value in him.

So finally, question comes down to :- what influenced non-80G-activists of the Anna to ask the Anna to support RTR? It was the RTR-Drafts. The drafts of RTR District Education Office or RTR PM or RTR Lokpal convinced the non-80G-activists that the RTR procedures in the draft are inexpensive, immune to voter buy out and do NOT cause instability.

Now to kill RTR, the Anna and his Team have started propping Right to Reject. The goal is to ask non-80G-activists to oppose Right to Recall and instead on focus on Right to Reject to waste away their time. We Recallists are trying to convince the non-80G-activists that not even 5% voters will click “none of the above” as the voters, even though 90% voters hate all major parties. Because though most voters hate both parties, they don’t hate all parties equally. The question of lesser evil always comes. Eg say Gujarat — those who hate Congress more than BJP will always vote for BJP and those who hate BJP more than Congress will always vote for Congress. Or say UP — those who hate Mayawati , Mulayam or Congress more than BJP will vote for BJP ; those who hate BJP etc more than Congress will vote for Congress and so forth. Every voter who is tempted to vote for “none of the above” will think once “what is least bad guy loses by just 1 vote?”, and so he will end up voting for least bad guy. We Recallists are self funded my the Anna with is time-wasting Right to Reject agenda is funded by MNC-owners who will pay Rs 100 crore to mediamen every week. We failed to add Right to Recall Lokpal clauses in Lokpal drafts. Lets see, how far we can go this time.
The Neo-Recallist movement is now moving only via non-80G-activists and driving force is their desire to reduce injustice and improve India, and they see the Drafts as a necessary tool for this. There is no MNC-backing, no corporate backing, no charismatic personality propped up by paid media

48.6 My contribution in The Neo-Recallist movement

1. I wrote the RTR-drafts in oct-1998 and the re-wrote them several times to reduce costs and improve speed of the proposed RTR-procedures. In addition, I wrote this books, and several pamphlets.

2. I also gave 17 newspaper advertisements (see http://rahulmehta.com/allads2.htm ) to publicize the drafts. In addition, I have printed over 100,000 pamphlets by now of sizes 1 page to 32 pages (mostly 16 pages).

3. To publicize Right to Recall, I contested may-2001 Loksabha elections, and as a result I faced 4 income tax scrutiny. Despite this, I contested one Municipal Corporation election and one Assembly by-election to publicize RTR.

4. I have not taken any donations. All expenses of advertisements, pamphlets, meetings etc were borne by me and were paid from my post tax income. Only one Indian Express ad was paid by my friend. If a person shows interest in spending money for RTR cause, then instead of taking a donation, I request him to directly spend that money in newspaper advertisement or pamphlet.

5. I have held over 500 meetings in past 13 years, attended by sometimes as few as 2-3 persons and sometimes as many as 50-100 people. Plus I have spent countless hours in explaining RTR in internet forums such as http://bharat-rakshak.com , Facebook communities, orkut communities etc.

6. Plus I have executed several steps I have mentioned chap-13 such as writing postcards, sending emails etc etc.

I am citing all these, because I want several Recallists to overtake me by doing more than what I have done, without taking donations. And at the same time, I want to pre-inform them, that they too may face Income inquiries and more problems. And in the end, nothing may come out.

48.7 In times to come

The Neo-Recallist movement, as far as I see, will progress only via non-80G-activists and driving force will be their desire to reduce injustice and improve India, and they will see that the RTR-Drafts are necessary and sufficient. The Neo-Recallist movement will never ever get media coverage (till end), any funding from elitemen, but will keep moving on.

Will Neo-Recallists movement that I started in 1998 succeed? I don’t know. Attempts to bring RTR have been 85 year old failure in India. This time, because the movement is draft-led, it will go a long way ahead. Lets us how far it goes, and whether it reaches the destination of getting RTR-drafts in the Gazette..
48.8 What can YOU do to help RTR-movement

Please read chap-13 of this book http://rahulmehta.com/301.htm . It has several steps where-in you can spend 6 hours a week and help to bring TCP draft in Gazette in India. The steps involve distributing pamphlets, informing citizens on motives of leaders such as Congress MPs, BJP MPs, The Anna etc who oppose TCP draft, by giving newspaper ads and contesting elections. Once TCP gets printed in Gazette, using TCP, it will become easy for activists to get citizens’ opinion law-drafts such as Right to Recall PM, RTR Supreme Court Chief judges, RTR Reserve Bank Governor etc etc.

49.1 Every (political) news is a paid news, every historian is a paid historian …..

Please google, and you will find that Henrybhai Ford had said that “History is useless”. I am quoting Henrybhai, because I also believe that “History books are useless”. In fact, I came to know of Henrybhai’s quote in around 1997, and it was long before that, around 1992, I had concluded that “History books are useless”. And worse, I concluded that “most Historians are paid Historians and all the History books they have written are paid works”, just as “most political news are paid news”. So IMO, History is worse than useless — most History-texts are carefully fabricated pages to hide important pieces of information.

Most people in India till Dec-2009 believed that most political news are unpaid news coming straight from hearts of journalists or editors. They also falsely believed that most historians write on the basis of what they find and what they truly believe. They did not know that most news, columns and editorials are paid news, and that historians are also paid up. The activists like myself understood as back as in 1990 that every political news is paid news, every political column is paid column, every political editorial is paid editorial and every historian is also a paid historian. And the person who pays decides and dictates the tone and direction of the writings of news and history. This is why those who understand payment mechanisms behind news and history have diametrically opposite view of Mohanbhai from those who still don’t know that money plays 99% of role in manufacturing of news and history.

One of the biggest distortion paid news and paid histories have created in India is on characterization of Mohanbhai. The paid newspapers of 1920-1948 and history texts written thereafter that say that Mohanbhai was Mahatma. If one doesn’t know that most news are paid news and each and every historians are also a paid historians, he will almost believe that Mohanbhai was truly a Mahatma. But if one factors in the money part, and sees how and where the money flowed in news and history business, one will understand the Mohanbhai was a Duratma No. 1 , not at all a Mahatma.
I call Mohanbhai Duratma Gandhi. Why? Because to get paid publicity from British, Mohanbhai took steps that not only delayed freedom, but later amplified partition violence in which 10 lakh men got slaughtered, some 4 core men and women crore had to flee leaving their homes behind and over 20 lakh women got kidnapped. I don’t blame Mohanbhai for partition at all — partition was due to other factors. And I don’t blame him for all the violence — I blame him for a big portion of it. If Mohanbhai had not spread his toxic waste called charkha and bhajans, then number of dead/kidnapped would have been much less and loss of property would have been less too. All along, Mohanbhai knew that charkha spinning, bhajan singing were all waste of time which only benefited British and weakened Indians. But he deliberately perused those activities because he saw that more the time-wasting activities he runs, more the money British would pay to mediamen to put his pictures on front pages of newspapers, and remove others’ pictures. Mohanbhai wanted first position in all politicians back then. Mohanbhai wanted his pictures on front page of every newspaper and he wanted to ensure that no one else’s picture should come. Mohanbhai wanted glory and fame. And Mohanbhai wanted to ensure that no one else gets any glory and any fame. Mohanbhai wanted hype and sole monopoly in hype. There is NOTHING wrong I see in his desire to become famous and even have monopoly in fame. But desire to become famous extended to a point that National Interests and even lives and honor of all Indian men and women became irrelevant to him. In his world, only his fame mattered. And so he decided to become a partner of British who can buy him the fame he wanted. And that’s why, I call him Duratma Gandhi.

I understood Duratmagiri of Mohanbhai in as early 1990s. But chose not to focus on it, because I am more interested in fixing present than removing false understanding of past. But when Mohanbhai-2 aka The Anna arrived in apr-2011, I saw that explaining Mohanbhai-1 was needed to explain defunctness of Mohanbhai-2. And so I added a chapter on Duratma Gandhi in my manifesto. Mohanbhai-2 aka The Anna is also a creation of MNC-paid TV-channels, and The Anna is opposing the proposal to add Right to Recall Janlokpal clauses only because he sees that if he supports that proposals, MNC-owners will stop paying TV-channels to give him fame. And so The Anna chose to tear apart Right to Recall Lokpal pages from the original Lokpal draft, and started promoting Lokpal with no RTR Lokpal. To him, only fame matters, Indian interests may go to hell.

This chapter explains both the Mohanbhais, and also other time-wasters.

49.2 British-Mohan partnership : you waste away youth’s time, we will pay media to show you

Let me explain why\how British funded Mohanbhai, why British needed Mohanbhai, why Mohanbhai needed British media-funding and how they both worked as partners.
Say you are a young man of India in 1920s. Say you hate British inside out and want to kick them out of India. Now say a white man comes and says “2 plus 2 is 4”. Would you believe him? And then same white man says “sun rises in east”. Would you believe him?

So when a statement is correct or seems logical or is verifiable, color of skin and hatred doesn’t matter. Even if you were to hate British, and a British were to give you penicillin medicine and say “this can cure malaria”, there may be initial distrust, but that distrust will vanish after one sees that that medicine can indeed saves lives of over 90% patients. IOW, whether a person is black or white or yellow or violet, whether he is hated or not — facts, logical talks and verifiable facts overwrite all hatred.

But lets say a white Viceroy comes and says “See dear Indians, here is a plan for freedom. Sell away all your swords in kabadi; burn all your guns; throw away all bullets in river; just spin charkha and sing bhajans. You know … if you spin charkha at the speed of 100 kmhr and sing bhajans at high decibel, we British will all get scared and run away, and India will become free”.

Would you believe the above statement coming from a Gora Viceroy. HELL NO !! No Indian would believe such nonsense from a Gora Viceroy. That’s why Viceroy never said so. Instead the Viceroys paid newspapers to print pictures of Mohanbhai who was making such statements. That was British-Mohan partnership in a nut shell. The British made it known that if anyone comes forward with a method to waste away time of Indian youth into inaction, then the British will not only issue him a certificate of Mahatma, but make sure that every Indian gets a notarized true copy of that certificate, and British will print his picture in newspapers in India and world over. They will also put him on All India Radio. Not only they will get him all the fame he wants, but will make him a monopoly in the hyped world.

Mohanbhai needed media-coverage to outsmart his competitors like Lala Lajpat Rai, Mahatma Sachendra Nath Sanyal, Mahatma Chandra Shekhar Azad, Mahatma Bhagat Singh, Mahatma Subhash Bose etc. Mohanbhai did not have courage to take actions these Mahatma took, and yet he wanted all the fame. So only option Mohanbhai had was to obtain massive media coverage. For this, he needed funds, and only source of funds back them were British or British’s men such as Tata, Birla, Bajaj, Sarabhai etc. So to get ahead of competitors, Mohanbhai decided to take actions that would convince British to fund media to highlight Mohanbhai. The actions were aimed at creating projects that would waste away the time of youth and make them passive so that British face minimal damages from Indian youth.

49.3 Why did British allowed Birla, Sarabhai et al to fund Mohanbhai?

Let me elaborate the question. Historians tell us that British were damaged by Mohanbhai and Company (aka Congress) and their Charkha Brigade. The Charkha Brigade as Historians tell us consisted of over 1000 Charkha Battalions each consisting of about 100-500 Charkha-veer spinning Charkha at the speed of 100 kmph 18 hours a day. And at the same time, Charkha-veer were trained to sing Bhajans so aloud, that no one would need loud speakers. Their Charkha spinning, Bhajan singing etc forced British to leave —- at least, that’s what each and every Historian is telling us. Now it is recorded fact the funding for this Charkha Brigade came from Tata, Birla, Bajaj, Sarabhai et al. So I asked myself a question way back in 1980s — why didn’t British stopped the Charkha Brigade’s funding? Why didn’t Viceroys asked Bajaj et al not to give cash to Mohanbhai and thus starve the Charkha Brigade of funds?

To explain my question, let me ask you a different question : say you are a businessman like Bajaj, and Viceroy calls you and tells you – “you dare not fund Mohanbhai, or else I will cancel all your liceneces/quota, throw 10s of cases on you, confiscate your wealth and also throw you in prison”. Then would YOU dare to fund Mohanbhai? Plato said that “in Politics, one must answer the question he asks, or else he must not ask questions”. So I will answer this question : If I were a businessman in 1920s, and if Viceroy tells me not to fund Mohanbhai, I will not give a penny to Mohanbhai. And I bet you too wont give a penny to Mohanbhai either. No businessman back then would dared to defy Viceroy even in dreams. Most of these businessmen heavily depended on British for licenses, quota as well as technology. Any move against what Viceroy says, and their licenses would get canceled and they will be bankrupt. All in all, what it means is that Viceroy never ever told these businessman to stop funding Mohanbhai.

So let me come to the first question : why didn’t Viceroy asked Bajaj et al to stop giving funds to Mohanbhai? If Mohanbhai was hurting the British, the best thing for British would have been to cut Mohanbhai’s fund supply. But British made no attempt to cut his funding. If you were Viceroy, what benefit did you see in letting businessmen give funds to Mohanbhai.

In business or politics, there are two things — maximizing the profits and sometimes minimizing the losses. Lets us analyze the scenario of what could have happened if Mohanbhai were to run out of funds?. Then all his franchise aka retail outlets aka Ashrams would be shut down. All the lakhs youth who were in Ashram and who wanted to work for freedom would be out on streets. These youth would start searching for ways and means to get freedom. Now what if even 5% of them decide to become Mahatma Bhagat Singh, Mahatma Udham, Mahatma Dhingara or a Mahatma Subhash? One Mahatma Udham or one Mahatma Dhingara can kill at least one British (please google on Mahatma Udham Singh and Mahatma Madanlal Dhingara) and with improved techniques, he can kill 4 to 10. If 100,000 youth in India become an Udham or a Dhingara, then at least 400,000 British would die. How many British were there in India in 1938? Less than 100,000. So obviously, even if as low as 25000 Indian youth had become Udham or Dhingara or Subhash or Bhagat, British would have had to leave. But if the funding to Ashrams continues, these young men would spend away all day in singing bhajans and spinning charkhas. And so few British would die.

Thats where funding Mohanbhai reduced losses to British. A young men between 14 and 22 is willing to work, kill and also die. He is energetic. Mohanbhai would make him spin charkha, make him sing bhajans, send him to clean toilets, send him to village and ask him to do all time-pass activities for 5-8 years. By 20-28 years, he gets married, has kids and has become a passive whimper and no more a threat against British. All in all Mohan Ashrams were factories that took energetic young men who could have each killed 2-10 British into harmless useless charkha spinners and bhajan singers. If viceroys had removed these Ashrams, and even if 5% of youth had become Bhagat, British would have been finished. Hence, Ashrams minimized the losses British could have faced.

But Ashrams needed busloads of money. Khadi aka charkha-spinning was a loss-making venture even back then (just as it is today). So British allowed Indian businessmen to fund Ashrams. In fact, I would put it other way — British forced Indian businessmen to fund Mohanbhai and his Charkha Brigade. The businessmen were dependent on British license , quota, technology etc. and so obeyed the British. So I would say — it was British who funded Mohanbhai via Indian businessmen, to reduce the supply of Bhagats, Udhams, Dhingaras, Subhashes.

49.4 Mohanbhai started Namak Satyagrah to kill Mahatma Bhagat Singh’s Purna Swaraj call

Consider the following dates

Date	Events
08-apr-1929	Mahatma Bhagat Singh and Mahatma Butukeshwar Dutt threw bomb in Assembly
07-may-1929	Trial against  Mahatma Bhagat Singh et al starts. They decide to use trial to promote speech and ideas on Indian independence. Mahatma Bhagat Singh raises demand for Purna Swaraj in prison and during trial
24-jun-1929	Mahatma Bhagat, Mahatma Dutt and Mahatma Jatindra Nath Das start hunger strike
13-sep-1929	Mahatma Jatindra Nath Das passes away due to 65 days of hunger and torture. No Mohanvaadi ever died fasting. Some real fasters do die.
———-	in whole country, Mahatma Bhagat Singh , Mahatma Dutt et al become 10 to 100 times more famous than Mohanbhai. Mohanbhai develops fever and depression when he saw that everyone was praising Mahatma Bhagat Singh and he was losing his no. 1 position
12-mar-1930	Mohanbhai starts Dandi Namak (Salt) March
———–	British paid media gives huge focus to Salt March and Mahatma Bhagat Singh and his demand for Purna Swaraj loses focus
01–may-1930	Viceroy takes advantage of the fact that citizens’ focus on Mahatma Bhagat Singh has reduced and orders emergency and a secret trial.
10-sep-1930	court issues death sentence on Mahatma Bhagat Singh

All in all, the dateline shows that the real motive behind Dandi Salt March was to kill the Purna Swaraj issue. If all Mohanbhai wanted was a march, why didn’t he lead the march on issue of Purna Swaraj, which was already a hot issue due to trial speeches made by Mahatma Bhagat Singh? Why did Mohanbhai took chillar issue like salt tax? Because he could see that if he takes a chillar issue, then the British would pay paid media to cover salt issue so that Purna Swaraj issue gets eclipsed. And the history repeated in feb-2011 – the paid media gave coverage to Lokpal issue to kill the :”Bring black money bank” movement started by Swami Ramdev and Right to Recall movement, which was supported by none other than Rajiv Dixitji.

49.5 Mohanbhai-2 aka The Anna

Now lets see how history is repeating. The new age Mahatma-2 aka The Anna is no different. To his merit, he did an excellent work in managing Govt grants which were obtained to improve water harvesting in Ralegaon Siddhi. And as a result, Ralegaon improved. But there are over 50000 villages in India which have improved in past 20 years, and each one improved because of a few good men there.

In jan-2011, two movements were growing. One was “Bring black money back” started by Swami Ramdevji. Another was equally powerful in activists, though had no presence in mass-media. It was Right to Recall movement. The RTR movement did not gain much in media as mediamen opposed RTR drafts, particularly Right to Recall Doordarshan Chairman as RTR DD Chairman will reduce economic gains of mediamen. So though RTR movement had not gained much in media and commons, but amongst non-80G-activists, RTR was no. 1 movement by dec-2010. One reason was the activists were convinced that the RTR procedure drafts I wrote are inexpensive to implement. And other reason was — Rajiv Dixitji himself was promoting RTR openly.
The MNC-owners and BJP\Congress were most likely completely unaware of RTR movement, as it hasn’t come in media yet. But the MNC-owners as well as BJP\Congress MPs started looking for ways to create an alternate psuedo-movement to keep activists busy, and take them away from BBMB movement. That’s why they recruited The Anna and The Team, and started Janlokpal movement. The main goals of sponsoring Janlokpal movements were

1. MNC-owners and super-corporates needed Lokpal system so that they can control whole Indian administration by bribing/controlling just 11 people.

2. kill focus from BBMB issue

3. reduce clout of Ramdevji

4. create a myth that Right to Recall is not needed and Lokpals will reduce corruption problem to cut Right to Recall movement

5. remove the focus from issues like MNC-domination, weakening of Indian Military, infiltration of Bangladeshies, poverty, inflation, nexus of Ministers, judges, elitemen etc at high places and focus only on retail corruption

6. create a myth that Lokpal bill is coming due to mass pressure and not because MNCs made UN pass UNCAC resolution, which makes Lokpal-like body essential.

7. waste away time of youth in useless activities

The (6) was something all political parties’ MPs needed. In 2008, MNC-owners bribed PMs across world and made them pass “United Nations Convention against Corruption” in UN. What UNCAC says (pls clause-1 and clause-2 of article-6 http://www.unodc.org/pdf/corruption/publications_unodc_convention-e.pdf ) is that each country will have a “independent body” to control corruption.. This body as per UNCAC article-5 and article-6 must have powers to investigate and prosecute any and every public official, including Prime Minister. The “against corruption” were just words to fool people. The real goal of MNC-owners is to create a body of 10-15 oligarch in each country so that via these oligarchs, MNC-owners can control 1000s of MPs, Ministers, IAS, IPS etc. So MNC-owners bribed PMs of all countries to pass a proposal, namely UNCAC, which would create a Lokpal like body.

Now India signed UNCAC in 2008 and so MPs had no option but to enact Lokpal like law. Now if it appears that MPs passed Lokpal like law-draft due to UN = MNC-owners pressure, then it would have been a big loss of face before citizens. But if it appears that Lokpal came due to mass-movement, then it will become difficult to prove that Lokpal came due to UN pressure or pressure of MNC-owners.

IOW, just as British were paying newspapers back them to publicize Mohanbhai to cut influence of Mahatma Bhagat Singh, Mahatma Subhash Bose etc, same way MNC-owners paid TV-channels to project The Anna to kill the influence of Ramdevji, divert BBMB issue and cover the fact that Lokpal is coming due to UN = MNC pressure.

49.6 The general method of “give funds and media coverage to the Time-Wasters”

There are some people who agree to live with less and partially give up ambition of career and thus manage to find some time for activism. The MNC-owners as well as Indian elitemen need a method to keep activists busy with harmless, even if useless, activism. One method they have perfected is to give funding and media coverage to time-wasting activist-leaders who will get activists administer activists, make them perform useless activities and waste away his time.

How does this method work from end to end?

1. The junior-activists wrongly feel that they alone cant do much, and so they decide to join a team. This itself a fallacy. In chap-13, I have shown how 200,000 activists, all working alone and not in any group can improve India and make it at par with West in few months. Nevertheless, activists want to join some group. So they look for activist leaders.

2. The activists leaders want funding and look for donors – be foreign donors or Indian donors. And so activist leaders has no option but to subtract the items from their agenda which they think donors will not like, even if the items are extremely and urgently needed for India. This is how the activist leaders become time-wasters. There is no order from elitemen — the activist leader willingly becomes time-waster in order to suit the “trends” set by donors.

3. The activist leaders also use costume, posture and jargon that will make activist leader look “anti-establishment”. This is needed to appeal the junior activists.

4. Now the elitemen are looking for activist-leaders who are time-wasters. So when elitemen find time-waster activist leaders, they give him funding and also pay mediamen to give him favorable media-coverage so that he gains limelight in junior activists, and more and more junior activists join him. So with media-highlighting and costume/posture etc, the activist leader gets junior activists, asks them not to focus on campaigning to get good Gazette Notifications printed and instead and wastes away his time in far less efficient activities such as teaching, health, environment jihad, rallying, shouting, sloganeering etc.

5. Thus same laws will continue, and elitemen’s rule will also go on.

This is how technique of “give funds and media coverage to timewasters” works. And these days, giving media-coverage is more important that giving funds. The media coverage is almost always 95% or more of total expenditure. Eg in the Janlokpal Drama Act-1 (between feb-4-2011 to feb-8-2011, the money MNC-owners paid to TV-channels must have crossed over Rs 2000 crores).

Mohanbhai aka Duratma Gandhi is the best example of such time-wasters I can think of. He knew that if he promotes bhajan singing, charkha spinning and other time wasting activities, then British would pay media to highlight him. So Mohanbhai started activities to waste away youth’s time. And British paid for giving him national as well as internal coverage. And British also asked Indian businessmen to fund all the time wasting activities he was conducting.

The Anna is next best example. He wanted his pictures of TV and nothing else. The MNC-owners needed someone who by costume, posture etc looks pro-Indian, anti-corruption and so they recruited an Anna and by paying TV-channels, created The Anna out of him.

There are over 10000 activist leaders in India, and IMO, over 9900 are deliberately wasting away time of activists into inaction, so that they can get media coverage from MNC-owners and Indian elitemen. The MNC-owners and Indian elitemen give them coverage because the MNC-owners and Indian-elitemen want to waste away time of the youth. The activists will have to search on their own who is time-waster and who is not.

49.7 Against Shri Nathubhai Godse

I am anti-Nathubhai, because he took shortcut of killing Mohanbhai and not the hard but needed way of destroying Mohanism by exposing Mohanbhai to people of India. Many of my colleagues refer to Shri Nathubhai Godse as Mahatma Nathubhai Godse, which I do NOT. I despise him for his bad decision. Nevetheless, his bad decision did result in one good –– Shri Sardar Vallabhabhai Patel could use Indian Army against Hyderabad, something that Mohanbhai would have opposed and delayed or even aborted. So as a tribute, I do refer to him as “Shri Nathubhai Godse”.

Shri Nathubhai should have seen that this nonsense of Mohanbhai was not liked people or even Congress worker. Even in 1940, Mohanbhai’s chamcha Pattabhi lost against Mahatma Subhash Chandra Bose, even though Mohanbhai had spent 10-100 times more money than Mahatma Subhashji and had more media/travel coverage. So in 1947, the anti-Mohanbhai sentiment was much higher and universal. Shri Nathubhai should have seen that Mohanbhai was dominant due to paid-media, nit due to its rational appeal. The solution was to create a good media and while the good media comes, take efforts to spread correct information at personal levels. All non-violent ways, like pamphlet distribution, speeches and even burning effigies of Mohanbhai, are OK. But killing Mohanbhai was a wrong idea.

A homicide is Vadh only when speech against that person is punished with death, otherwise it is murder. Eg Homicide of Sanders was Vadh, because if Mahatma Bhagat Singh had made a speech demanding execution of Sanders, British would have murdered him. Homicide of Governor Dwyer was Vadh because British would have murdered Mahatma Udham Singh if he had made a speech asking for Governor Dwyer’s execution. Further, Homicide is Vadh only when majority has agreed that person should killed. In case of Sanders and Dwyer, the majority of Indians wanted them dead. But Shri Nathubhai Godse did NOT have sanction of majority — neither explicit nor implicit. Further, Shri Nathubhai had alternate remedies. Eg Consider the demand of Mohanbhai that India should give Rs 55 cr (about Rs 100,000 cr by today’s level) to Pakistan or he will fast till death. Or many such useless demands. Shri Nathubhai should have asked citizens of India to demand a referendum on such demands. The outcome of the referendum would have been — (A)don’t give even 55 paise to Pakistan (B)end Mohanbhai’s fast by giving him poison. And that would have solved both problems — Rs 55 crore issue as well as his fast till death. But Shri Nathubhai did not campaign for such referendums — he instead wanted decided to take a shortcut which had no implicit or explicit sanction of majority. This I see as a proof of laziness. All in all, Shri Nathubhai had alternate remedy — demanding referendums — which he was free to take and was never stopped. But he out of laziness did not take those route. And so his act was murder, not vadh.
Referendum could have been a powerful tool till prove that people of India hated Mohanbhai. The people of India were already realizing that Mohanbhai was a willful liar, not just wrong. Eg crores of citizens were questioning — that if Mohanbhai actually believed that fasting, singing bhajan, spinning charkha etc is cool, why didn’t he go to Lahore, Karanchi, Islamabad, Dhaka and fasted there? As more and people asked this question, the answer was becoming clear that Mohanbhai knew that fasting etc was a useless method and that he was a willful liar. If Mohanbhai were alive, within 2-3 years, people of India would have said the following to Mohanbhai

o see Mohanbhai, pls change your name to Mohasinbhai
o and pls go to Haj right away
o and on your way back, pls stop in Pakistan
o and pls stay in Pakistan for ever and never come back to India

In sep-1947, the common men, not RSS, in Harijan Basti in Delhi had ransacked his Ashram’s furniture and told Mohanbhai not to even come again in Harijan Basti. Mohanbhai could not find even one residential colony in Delhi which would give him a house to stay, which is why Mohanbhai had to live in Birla Temple. So with campaign, it was possible to convince every citizen of India to ask Mohanbhai to leave India. And all that was needed to convince all that all hate Mohanbhai was one general election. One general election – and he and all his men would have lost so badly, everyone would have come to know that everyone hates Mohanbhai. After facing one general election, Mohanbhai himself would have drowned himself in Sabarmati river — if he had any shame left. But by killing Mohanbhai, Shri Nathubhai ended up giving an opportunity to Congress leaders to create a sympathy wave and false image of popularity.

So IMO, Shri Nathubhai should have taken the good, though hard way, of informing citizens about defunctness of Mohanbhai and demanding referendums on “give Rs 55 cr to Pakistan” and other issues. He should have asked Mohanbhai to fast in Lahore and asked more and more people to ask Mohanbhai to fast in Lahore. Mohanbhai knew that Ahmisa was just a bluff which can work when paid-media supports it, and would not work in Lahore where media was against him. So Mohanbhai would have never fasted in Lahore and would have stood exposed. All this were hardcuts — needed a lot of work, lot of time, lot of efforts and yes, also needed money to print pamphlets etc. This was the least unethical way — far less unethical than killing unarmed man, no matter how dangerous his speech may be.

All in all, if a bad leader is yet unarmed, but still has image in paid-media, then solution is to expose his lies — not kill him. Killing unarmed man will do more damage than good. Which is what happened — Shri Nathubhai killed Mohanbhai and his action enabled Congressmen to extend life of Mohanbhai by 60-70 years and do more damage.

One lesson to learn from Shri Nathubhai is — shortcut never helps. Have patients, be prepared to lose all — but never take a shortcut.

49.8 What can YOU do to expose Duratma Gandhi, The Anna, Arvind Gandhi etc

The long term approach is to enact Right to Recall over Textbook Officer in-charge of publishing all textbooks (see chap-10, chap-30) and RTR over Doordarshan Chief (see chap-10). The full proposal involves splitting DD into 5 independent channel with each channel having recallable CEO ; each channel having slot for PM; and allowing each State Govt to have one channel with recallable CEO and slot for CMs. Once RTR comes over Textbook Officers, they will all print real information on Duratma Gandhi, Rashtrapita Mahatma Subhashchandra Bose etc. Now how to convince PM to print drafts for “RTR over Doordarshan Chairman” and “RTR over Textbook Officer”? For that, please read chap-13 of this book http://rahulmehta.com/301.htm . It has several steps where-in you can spend 6 hours a week and help to bring TCP draft in Gazette in India. The steps involve distributing pamphlets, informing citizens on motives of leaders such as Congress MPs, BJP MPs, Anna etc who oppose TCP draft, by giving newspaper ads and contesting elections. Once TCP draft gets printed in Gazette, using TCP, it will become easy for activists to get citizens’ opinion law-drafts such as Right to Recall DD Chairman, RTR Textbook Officer etc .should be printed in the Gazette or not.

As a short term approach, you can give newspaper ads and distribute pamphlets to expose The Anna, Arvind Gandhi, Duratma Gandhi, Subramanian Swamy etc. Exposing them is necessary as they are time-wasters and fake medicines. And time-waster doesn’t do any direct damage himself, but if enemy such as China, USA etc are wasting less time, and we end up following time-wasters, then time-wasting is nothing but helping the enemy destroy India. So I request all activists to spend at least 2 hours a week and say 33% of their activism time in exposing fake medicines and time-wasters.

50.1 My goal behind forming Right to Recall Party

My goal is to get several drafts such as TCP, RTR PM, RTR Supreme Court judge, MRCM etc printed in the Gazette, by raising Ahmisamurti Mahatma Udham Singh centric draft-led activist-guided activist-funded anti-paid-media mass-movement. Please note – the goal is not that we at RRP will get 50-500 MPs, and get the laws we want passed. The goal is to get these law-draft via mass-movement only. I have no faith in the approach that “make 50-500 good guys MPs, and they will print good law-drafts in the Gazette”. I believe in the mass-movement only, where focus of mass-movement is to appeal to Mahatma Udham Singh.
So all RRP rules are to speed up mass movement, not to win elections.

50.2 Splitting of RRP and competing RRPs

I officially encourage members to form one more RRP party campaigning for Right to Recall laws !! In fact, I would welcome an MP/MLA level candidate forming his own party and managing RRP affairs inside that MP, MLA Constituency himself rather than depending on National level RRP. That would give him full security that he would get the ticket and he can focus on the campaign in that Constituency with full assurance that he is sure to get the ticket. And that would speed up RTR movement.

50.3 Funding

The RRP will not take any donations from any outsiders or even members. An optional fee of Rs 50 may be kept purely to keep membership records, and all money collected will be donated to Prime Ministers’ Relief Fund. Please note clearly, the RRP will not take a penny of donation from anyone, not even members. The members and supporters can give newspaper advertisements or put hoardings or xerox pamphlets but no supporter should give cash to any RRP candidates or members. The members and supporters should give cheque\cash directly to the newspaper. The party officials and supporters will not get any salary or even expense re-imbursement for any expense they make.

50.4 Becoming a member

There is no membership fee or joining fee. An optional fee of Rs 50 may be kept purely to keep membership records, and all money collected will be donated to Prime Ministers’ Relief Fund. There will be no requirement to bring donations in the party. In fact, RRP is against cash as well cheque donations. There will be open request to fund newspaper advertisements, but this is not a compulsory requirement. The person should be citizen of India, above 18 and a registered voter. He may or may not be member of other Party.

50.5 Open expectations from members

1. The member is expected to take steps mentioned in chap-13 of 301.pdf (this book).

2. He should sign the petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/rti2en/

3. On his facebook profile, he must write “Right to Recall PM”

4. He should write letters to one or more of the following 14 leaders : PM, CM, MLA, MP, No. 2 MP candidate in previous election, No. 3 MP candidate, No. 2 MLA candidate, No. 3 MLA candidate, leader of the parties which got first, second and third highest votes in India and their States. The letter would these leaders to publicly declare support for the First and Govt Order RRP stands for. The letter should also mention that if the leader does not support the proposed TCP Gazette Notification, the letter writer will publicly tell every citizen that that leader is anti-common

5. If the member is NOT computer literate, and then he should find a Recallist member who is computer literate and someone he trusts. He can operate his account via the computer literate RRP member. But orkut account will be compulsory. And one computer literate RRP member can become proxy of at most 100 non-computer literate members and no more.

6. The member should check his messages once every week, and write what activities he did in past 1 week to advertise the party agenda.

7. The member should vote in every internet poll asked by the party President.

8. The members will be required to attend the Assembly level meet 4 times a year, Lok Sabha level meet 4 times year, State meet once a year and National meet once every 2 years.

The rest of the activities are described in chap-13.

50.6 Deciding first MP candidate

1. The first person who gives RRP advertisement worth Rs 100,000 in a leading local language newspaper in a tier-IV district will become RRP candidate for that Parliamentary Constituency.

2. The amount will be twice for tier-III city, four times for tier-II city and six times for tier-I city. E.g. if someone wants to become RRP candidate for Mumbai, then advertisement amount is Rs 600,000

3. The above price is 2009 base. The amounts will increase by proportionate increase in wholesale price index.

4. If there is no candidate who is willing to give ad, then person who gives highest ad will become MP in Constituency.

50.7 Changing the MP candidate

If a person becomes MP candidate by giving RRP advertisement, he will be MP candidate till he is replaced by an inner party voting where rival candidate gets votes equal to at least 5% of total voter population and more than votes he got in the last election. Also, the winning candidate will need to pay thrice expenses MP candidate has incurred in newspaper advertisements. Example : Say Mr. A has become MP candidate by giving Rs 5,00,000 of newspaper advertisement on TCP and RTR. Say the constituency has 15,00,000 voters. And if Mr. B wants to replace Mr. A. Then Mr. B will have to ask at least 75000 voters to send Rs 10, their mobile numbers along with bill showing billing address and get the mobile number registered with RRP. RRP President (myself) will administer poll by SMS. Those who are supporting Mr. A i.e. existing candidate can register for free. And once Mr. B has been proven as winner, he will need to pay Rs 15,00,000 to Mr. A.

50.8 Deciding first MLA, Corporation candidate

The advertisement amount for Assembly seat will be 1/3rd of Parliamentary seat and that of Corporation seat will be 1/3rd of Assembly seat.

50.9 Member’s role in elections

The members will be free to campaign for the candidate they think is best person to bring TCP, RTR, MRCM etc laws. The members need not campaign for the official Party candidate.

50.10 Replacement of the President of the Party

1. The election will be via internet community only. Those who are not computer literate shall vote via friend, relative etc who is computer literate.

2. The person who is challenging President must first form a Political Party named as “Right to Recall Party , no. XXX of District YYY” , where XXX is the next available number for district YYY”. He must first get this party registered and the Party must have same constitution as RRP. Rest of the draft refers it as Replacement Party.

3. The voting members’ will have different number of votes. The number of votes a member will have will be (Rupee amount they have spent on newspaper advertisements)/1000 , with minimum as 1 vote.

4. The members will cast their votes.

5. The person with highest weights will become the Party President.

6. The incoming President will spend in thrice the newspaper advertisement amount President has spent. The outgoing President will get no remuneration.

7. The Challenging President will resign from Presidentship of Replacement RRP and make outgoing President of main RRP as President of Replacement RRP. The new President of Replacement RRP may change the name of RRP as parent RRP. And then will he resign from Presidentship of parent RRP and make President

50.11 Appointment other officer bearers

Other that President, there will be candidate-in-waiting, and there will be no other officer bearer.

50.12 The Party Constitution given to Election Commission

Since Election Commission has not created detailed rules about Party’s Constitution, the copy of the Constitution given to election commission will be abridged and not detailed. The Constitution will have draft of TCP and RTR laws I am proposing.

50.13 Recognizing other RRPs

If any citizen of India forms Party whose Constitution has TCP and RTR drafts , I at RRP will recognize that party as coalition partner. And if the Party President gives newspaper advertisement of TCP, RTR drafts, I will not put any candidate in the MP, MLA Constituency he has picked. In fact, I would prefer MP, MLA candidates to form their own Parties – one for each Constituency. That way, we will have some 543 RRPs at MP Constituency level plus about 5000 RRPs at MLA level. More the better.

51.1 Why so much hostility against TCP, RTR etc

As most of us know, India’s top polity, business and administration is run by about 10,000 elitemen, of which majority now represent interests of videshi elitemen. Eg the biggest crude oil company of India is now nothing but a Rockefeller front. Now if MRCM comes, the 10000 deshi/videshi elitemen would loose profits from mineral mining to citizens. This will weaken elitemen and strengthen us commons. Likewise, RTR will reduce the ability of elitemen to bribe Ministers, officers, judges etc. This will further reduce the strength of elitemen. Now TCP will lead to MRCM, RTR within 3-4 months. And so the elitemen hate TCP. Now as most of us know, the CMs, PM are puppets of these 10000 elitemen. They themselves too many be one of these elitemen, but they are only one of the top 10000 elitemen in India – they cannot print anything against collective will of these 10000 elitemen. The intellectuals are all paid-intellectuals i.e. they are all grant-seekers and so most intellectuals race to serve the interest of these grant giving elitemen. The elitemen hate TCP and RTR and almost all intellectuals have opposed TCP and RTR. The reason is not hatred, but the reason is that if TCP abd RTR come, then the elitemen stand would lose over 95% of incomes they make via minerals and preferential allocation of land. And IAS, IPS, judges, Ministers etc will also lose.

51.2 So will elitemen, Ministers. IAS, judges give up without shedding a drop of blood?

I at RRP is proposing and demanding only a 3 line draft TCP before PM, CMs.. I have no other demands. As of now, I am not demanding MRCM or RTR or anything at all. MRCM, RTR etc are my requests to citizens once PM meets the demand of signing TCP draft.

And TCP says nothing but “allow citizens to post their complaints on PM’s website.”
So will such a small demand cause bloodshed?

Will elitemen let PM, CMs print the TCP draft laws without any bloodshed?

51.3 My answer to above question

I want zero bloodshed. But hoping that elitemen would give away minerals’ incomes to citizens and that elitemen etc will up all the mineral/land income without resorting violence seems to be too good to be true. I want to bring TCP only via citizens asking PM, CMs. I do not want any citizen to use violence against any PM, CMs, MLA, MP, Minister, IAS, IPS , judges. elitemen etc. And I wish PM, CMs, elitemen etc do not use violence against us RTR activists. But if elitemen decide to use violence against RTR activists, then also, I would request RTR activists not to use violence, but I cant say what may happen then.

As of now, I will assume that there will be no violence from elitemen, Ministers etc and so there should be no violence from citizens. If elitemen decide to use violence or harassments, then each non-80G-activist has to decide which non-violent method he wants to take : violent method adopted by Duratma Gandhi or non-violent method adopted by Ahmisamurti Mahatma Udham Singh or Ahmisamurti Mahatma Bhagat Singh or Rashtrapita Ahmisamurti Mahatma Subhash Chandra Bose. Each activists’ decision will be final.
