Technology & Society:BHIM App isThumb Up App

Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar is icon who has been utilised by all political parties of our Nation to their benefit. Now our P.M is in full throttle to call HANGUTA-CHAP aka THUMB-IMPRESSION BASED APP as the tribute to our Constitution architect, Bhim Ambedkar the APP is christened as BHIM-App 

BHIM-BHarat Interface for Money App  

A mobile application that: 

• Doesn't require a smart phone to do transactions
• Doesn't require internet access
• But APP should be downloaded initially from Android App store
• Register your Bank account with the BHIM 
• Set up an Unified Payment Interface -UPI PIN  
• Use your THUMB impression and Phone Number to authentiacte yourself
• To be linked using AADHAR card
• (Note: P.M has given statistics that 100 Crores of Indian population have AADHAR card)
• Transaction of 10,000 Rupees can be done as upper limit

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Remembered Time and Again for Different Reasons!

Finally Dr. Ambedkar, who was used for Vote Bank Politics by Congress is now utilised by B.J.P, which had nick name as Brahmin Janata Party or Baniya Janata Party amongst its detractors! This is a good strategy politically by P.M Narendra Modi, to shed the image of Baniya party. 

Technology has become a BOON for N.D.A  

Ever since the previous general elections was fought in our Nation, The developments in technological arena has become a BOON for Modi & Co. They utilised Social Media effectively to their advantage by trolls against Manmohan Singh and Co. Modi & Co. used Digital Shows and Screens effectively in their Campaign. Once they came to power series of campaigns of their programmes on micro blogging sites was done obsessively. They created an image as if the Govt. is working 24*7 for the people of Nation through Social Media wings.

The Govt. embracing AADHAR CARD scheme, initially they looked at it as inferior product due its origin dating back to U.P.A regime, But later embracing the same whole heartedly and linking it to JHAN DHAN Account, introducing 'Mann Ki Bhaat' on MODI-App, Introducing Digital India, Skill India, Make in India schemes utilising the Technological advancements in Internet and Mobile communications. Though these were minor programmes with respect to our current National Govt. Demonetisation was a major step which was make or break programme for this Govt.'s existence. Also Govt. is to some extent able to overcome hurdles faced in 50 days with the aide of Technology gadgets like wallets Pay TM, Freecharge, SBI Buddy etc.Even the opposition made remarks like :"Pay T M means -Pay To Modi " 

Demonetisation Followed By Cashless or Less Cash Society

Though Govt. shifted its Goal Post from Black money to Cashless Economy, it was able to manage the show as Technology came into their rescue. Many types of Cashless and Plastic Cash transactions, mobile banking came to the rescue of Govt. They took help of mobile wallet companies and their Mobile Apps by doing propaganda of such tools and many small vendors and street hawkers too started using PAY-TM stickers at their business centres. So, The present Govt. in my opinion has survived 50 Days of Acid Test after demonetisation due to technology tools not due to its vision or mission. If this govt. was having visionaries, they would haven't amended the R.B.I regulations 50 odd times in 50 days.

Value of Life

Lalbagh renowned botanical garden of Bengaluru became graveyard for a Six year school boy Vikram Kumar, who had visited Lalbagh Gardens for Christmas holiday picnic. Even a botanical garden is not safe in our cities, leave aside city Roads and Highways. This Boy was crushed to death when he tried to sit on a Bird-Bath made of stone and the bird bath has slipped and fallen on him crushing him to death. Leave aside Scuba Diving facility or Water Parks offering adventures sports, A Garden is not following safety norms in our cities and is not safe for Kids to play. This reminds me of death of a lady travelling to office with her husband on two wheeler due to potholes in our roads that happened less than a year ago. LIFE in World's second densely populated Nation has no Value, is what I have to conclude because anything in excess has no value. Take instance of Demonetisation in this huge Nation, Death of nearly 50 persons directly or indirectly due to chaos of Demonetisation was rubbed aside citing reason 'Deaths during Revolution is common'. What Revolution happened in these 50 Days is in front of us. Still The people hoarding black-money are extended amnesty schemes by Govt. up to March 31st! Govt. has no proposal to put Black-money hoarders behind bar, So Why was such a huge Cry aka hungama done for such an act of demonetising money which is the role of Reserve Bank and not of Govt. in usual situations.more info...

Bird Bath Made of stone Kills a Boy in Lalbagh gardens, Bengaluru

So, Life is not precious in our Nation is my conclusion. Next let us take up currency and its value in our post.

Value of Currency 

From November 8th 2016 to December 30th 2016 People of this biggest democracy have witnessed how they have to spend Money scarcely as it is not available abundant in spite of it being their own earnings. A cause was associated with this demonetisation spree and the cause was to Punish the Corrupt and Felicitate the honest. But Corrupt chose their own ways to convert Black to Pink and it is now history. Further Govt. is extending amnesty to money hoarders as it is the most precious THING in this Nation though it doesn't possess LIFE. Whereas Deaths are compensated by giving Relief Funds to the near and dear ones of the deceased, Compensation is in form of CURRENCY! Yeah, Currency is more precious isn't it friends?

Still Blood Hasn't arrived: courtesy google images

Next let us move onto Value of technology in India.

Digital Deflation Food Inflation  

A Friend of mine brought one interesting fact about Pre-liberalization India and Post-liberalization India. In 1980s Samosa was costing 1 Rupee and STD telephone call was costing 10 rupees. If we look at cost of Dhal/Food grains it is available at whooping cost of 150 Rupees, (though current trend is indiacting more production of dhal will result in fall of its cost). while players like JIO is offering Internet free of cost. The Technology is available and accessible and food crops are becoming scare resource. With this background We have to look at the Govt. Initiatives to connect National metros with Express-Highways. currently Bangalore-Chennai Express Highway is making lot of noise. The Farmers in both states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are facing turmoil due to throwaway prices that might be offered to their agricultural lands. The Idea of Prosperity we have is so rubbish that to connect two cities which are already connected by Road, Train and Air, one more express highway is on cards while farmers agricultural land which cannot be replaced by any type of currency in future will be spoilt. So, Friends be ready to pay heavy price for Water, Food and Air in near future.

To conclude: Food will be precious ingredient while Life of human being is losing value in this mad rush of development called Money making!

Society Watch: Community Mass Marriages A Ray of Hope in Cash Crunch Days

When entire nation is reeling under cash crunch, Many Politicians hosted grand weddings making AAM-ADMI the common man a worried bunch. Such wedding ceremonies were questioned in media for few days and everyone have forgotten it by end of 50 Days of P.M's deadline on demonetisation. Common man was struggling to arrange 2.5 Lakhs from Banks for wedding ceremonies at their families. All this is now history. Amidst such insensitive bunch of politicians and business men, A ray of hope is seen in form of P.P Savani Groups a real estate firm based in Gujarat. This Real Estate firm has conducted community marriage for 236 brides and grooms. Most interestingly fatherless girls were facilitated to get married. This gesture of a Real estate firm where even Muslim and Christian community brides and grooms entered to wedlock is a welcome move. According to the report in Kannada daily this organisation is conducting such mass marriages for past five years consecutively. more info 

P.P Savani Group Hosted Mass marriage @ Surat-Gujarat

Community/ Mass Marriages in Karnataka

Karnataka state is well known for organising such mass marriage ceremonies in past and is an on going activity with few trusts like Shri. Manjunatha Dharmastala Temple Town Trust, under the guidance of Shri. D. Veerendra Heggade, Head of the trust. Dharmasthala trust has successfully conducted 45 such Mass marriages and this year 127 pairs have tied nuptial knot at Dharmasthala  

Mass marriage @ Dharmstahala Temple Town -Karnataka

While Dharmasthala is known for conducting mass marriages, Even Suttur Mutt is also known to host such mass marriages in Karnataka. Many other Mutts occasionally conduct such marriages and exhibit social concern. Even our State Govt. initiated such a marriage ceremony last year under the guidance of Mr. Anjaneya, Minister for Social welfare, where his daughter too entered into wedlock along with other pairs. Finally, whether it is demonetisation or not such simplicity in marriages is the need of our Nation.

Khala Dhan Hatao:Is it a Remake Movie of Gareebi Hatao?

1970s witnessed Iron Lady of India Indira Gandhi's Rule now 2016 is witnessing Iron man Modiji rule. Both rules have similarities in many aspects and many political pundits have started analyzing the same. Indira Gandhi was projecting herself as Poor's Darling and brought in two major reforms in form of Nationalization of Banks and 'Tiller/Worker is the owner of Land' schemes and gave a slogan "Gareebi Hatao" which was famous in Indian history and had given her cushion of solid vote bank.  According to old timers Nationalization of Banks brought major chunk of poor sections of our society to Banking system otherwise they were exploited by private money lenders with their own exorbitant interest rates exploiting the poorer section of society. Iron Lady-Indira Gandhi brought in one more popular scheme where Landlords exploiting the agricultural laborers and bonded laborers problem was addressed by legislation that those working in Lands are the true owners and not landlords who are reaping the benefits sitting idle. Though Nationalization of Banks was success Making laborers landlords didn't yield the benefits it should have given.

ಗರೀಬಿ ಹಟಾವೋ ಪಿ.ಮ್ 

ಕಾಳ್ ಧನ್ ಹಟಾವೋ ಪಿ.ಮ್ 

If we closely analyze the two schemes of Nationalization of Banks and Laborer is the owner of land of Indiraji and compare with Modiji's Schemes of Jandhan, Demonetization and most awaited Benami Property scheme It appears like New Bottle and Wrapper With Old Wine in it! Both the Leaders enjoyed absolute majority in Parliament and dictated command over party men. Only Difference is Modiji is mainly targeting Urban wealth while his counterpart had targeted rural wealth.

So, Friends it is a Remake Movie with the thread taken from old Congress Govt. and Both the leaders have mass appeal and had and  have ability to  mesmerize people with their stage shows that is the bottom line.

Pitfalls in Disclosure After December 30 

 The Economic times report clearly depicts the grey area to be addressed in the Volunteer disclosure scheme to be started after December 30, 2016, where all the black money hoarders can disclose their assets without getting their names disclosed and with many exemptions provided in it brings in a big question about morality of such a scheme, as Honest Tax payers are the losers and Tax evaders are beneficiaries. So Friends, Govt. is least bothered about punishing the culprits as it has been publicized in all the election rallies of P.M they are looking at accumulating revenue and for which they have given a name "KHALA DHAN Hatavo". As We are emotionally accessible citizens Slogans like Gareebi Hatavo and Khal Dhan Hatavo have long term implications on Vote Bank.

Society Watch:Not Cash Driven But Caste Driven Nation

India a Nation that boasts to be 'Unity in Diversity' social strata is in many ways still Caste-Driven Society, where class based social strata is prevalent in most of the states of this biggest democracy.

The story of Bant Singh from Punjab clearly depicts how bad the social strata is in this Nation that is embracing Digital Economy.

Inside Story of Bant Singh 

Though Gurunanak Movement in Punjab was aimed at creating equal society with no apartheid based on caste system. People who embraced Sikh Religion are still having divisions within the community with people from lower strata of society treated badly by Sikhs from upper strata of society defeating the whole purpose of Shri. Gurunanak's movement to eradicate caste system haunting society. But if you read the turmoil faced by  Bant Singh in 'The Ballad of Bant Singh' who lost his hands and leg for demanding justice to his minor daughter who was gang-raped by upper caste hooligans. Bant Singh and his daughter had fought without yielding to political and money power enforced on them by the culprits using their Caste-Power and had obtained justice through life-time imprisonment to the gang-rapists. This enraged the Jats community and had started misbehaving with the girls of downtrodden castes and while Bant Singh Raised his voice against such behaviour he was brutally attacked with iron rods resulting in lapse of hands and legs. Despite such atrocities caused He continues to fight for the justice of downtrodden and this book written by Nirupama Dhutt is reviewed by Mr. Umapathi a Columnist in Prajavani, noted Kannada daily.

Nutshell Story of Caste System in India

Our Nation is progressing is what we all claim, But What i have personally observed is it is progressing Technologically but maintaining in its womb the caste-seed implanted in our pre-independence era itself. Today every caste has a God & Mutt & Pontiff atleast in my state of Karnataka. There will be Sammelana aka Conferences in name of communities headed by Political big-wigs, Pontiffs and Businessmen of those particular caste or sub caste.  In such MELAS Govt. will be asked to provide facilities to their community in form of reservations in Jobs and services. The whole idea of Mutts and Pontiffs given by Upper Caste communities is Today followed by even small communities and other backward class communities. So, in Nutshell Caste System Eradication is mirage in this nation and if Basvanna, Buddha or Gandhi take re-birth they will be asked to prove identity with respect to caste and creed they belong to.

AAMIR KHAN TARGETED: Best Example of Divided Society 

Fresh News of AAMIR Khan targeted as if he is traitor in this Nation to throw him out of SNAPDEAL as brand ambassdor is clear cut incidence that on the WRAPPER called Nationalism, This nation is divided into castes, creeds and religions, which even the GOD can't overcome with another set of Dasha-Avatars.

Committing Mistakes & Clarifying are Two Sides of Politicians

Karnataka C.M Mr. Siddramaiah has landed himself in controversy by getting assistance from a subordinate to tie up his shoes lace. As the Video has become viral Siddu Shoe Lace Incidence.... and C.M has given clarification to media that the person tying his lace is not any Govt. official but his family person aka relative. Similar incidence happened with Education Minister Mr.Tanveer Seth, who was caught in camera scrolling down pornographic picture in Tippu Sultan Birth anniversary ceremony. Later Minister clarified to media that some unknown person had sent Whats App message and he was caught accidentally.

C.M Siddaramaiah caught getting shoe lace tied from subordinate

Now let us move further to Central govt. which gives clarifications for every amended rule of R.B.I after demonetisation through Finance Minister Mr. Arun Jaitley. But most interesting aspect is F.M's clarification to Yesterday's High Pitch Speech by our P.M Mr. Modi at Jal-Pujan for erecting historical figure Shivaji Maharaj's Idol amidst Arabian Sea. P.M's speech was to attack long term capital gains in Stock market trade. All of a sudden F.M is all out to clarify to people of country P.M didn't meant what media read. Media has read between lines according to him.

P.M speech Reinterpreted by F.M Jaitley

Story of Press Release & Clarification Releases

Our Politicians often make damaging statements and later someone covers up for the statement by giving clarifications. They often blame Media Personnel for having twisted or misinterpreted the speech or action. We public have accepted all these Speeches and Clarification releases throughout the political history of the country. There are incidences where politicians live action captured on camera later getting denied by their supporters with various reasons. Election speeches are best time for witnessing such Statements and Clarifications and blaming the media for misinterpretation. Finally Statements and Re-framed statements are two sides of coins called Politicians.

Profession Watch: Security Guards Zindagi

While Armed forces take care of Nation from external enemies and Police force ensures law and order within the Nation. Security Guards belong to same kind of profession who take care of public property in Banks, Railway stations, Bus terminals, Educational Institutes, Hotels & Restaurants, Industries ranging from I.T firms to Garments, Shopping malls, Airports, Public utility places like Parks, Playgrounds, Shopping Malls, ATM counters, Private function halls and the list goes on and on. These Security Guards are hired by agencies on Contract basis, while Police and Armed personnel enjoy permanent benefits of Govt. These security guards life is caught between lever, as they work for 12 hours a day and are paid less than 10,500 Rupees which is against the minimum wages bill accepted by Government.

Though the role of these security personnel is not inferior to any police men, they are hired on contract basis even after delivering 240 hours of work in a year is clear violation of labour law according to sources from Centre of Indian Trade Union C.I.T.U.

Provide Security But Without Security to Their Jobs!

With demonetisation and long queues in front of ATM counters being a common trend in past one and half months. These security guards faced lot of hardship in pacifying the citizens and ensuring One person One ATM card operation so that people in long queues get their share of 2000 Rupees smoothly. Today at Bangalore Metro Railway station I witnessed a passenger going rough on a security personnel and using abusing language shows the type of turmoil these professionals have to overcome in their day to day business. Most of these professionals are paid 8000 rupees and are made to work for 12 hours by most agencies. They do not have any Holidays for Festivals and National Holidays shows the clear disparity they are shown by our Governments.

C.I.T.U : Enrolment Campaign to Fight For Security Guards  

Centre of Indian Trade Union -C.I.T.U Bangalore, has started a new campaign of enrolling such security personals to their Union with FIVE focal points as their agenda in front of Governments, The Pointers are:

1. To provide permanent Employment status to all security guards
2. To ensure Only 8 Hours of duty is entrusted to security guards
3. Fixation of minimum 10,500 Rupees as monthly wages
4. To provide social security services like Identity Card, Payslips, Service record maintenance
5. To Ensure General holidays and Festival Holidays services are extended to these professionals
