This is why India lagging behind! — Part III

children hospital UPA foreign company was to invest in medical field with the help of an organisation based in Delhi has later found that to invest in the private hospital in India is the most profitable business whereas the condition and the system of the Indian government hospitals are so bad and better if I call worst that the facilities are minimal and almost 70 per cent of patients leave hospital by being more sick than they were before entering that same hospital. This indicates that private hospitals are only obliged to be completely clean. The doctors of almost all of the government hospitals run their own private clinics as well. In this play of money making they give most of their time in their respective private clinics as they charge fee to patients there whereas in government hospitals they don’t as the government doesn’t allow.

This lack of responsibilities and greed for more money leads to the deaths of many poor people. After being oppressed by the system at the government hospitals, if someone complains about it at police station then they also doesn’t take any action against these doctors. This game of doing illegalities continue and the poor keep suffering due to lack of medicines, absence of doctors in emergency and bad behaviours by hospital staffs from doctors to sweepers.

Whatever drama happened in the RBI in last one year was also unprecedented. Invoking Section 7 of the RBI Act is unprecedented and strikes at the very underlying foundations of autonomy of RBI in guaranteeing financial stability. RBI’s independent position on demonetisation, handling of loans, taking over 99 per cent of benefits of the financial regulator every year amid present government and attempt to force Rs. 3.5 lakh crores from RBI’s reserves to contain fiscal deficit are issues undermining the Central Bank. The precipitation of disagreement appears to be triggered by RBI’s stand on denying acceding demand of government to look other way at SBI’s attempt to waive corporate debt to tune of Rs. 1 lakh crore because of power projects in Gujarat. Securing crony capitalist interests has prompted this unprecedented assault on RBI’s freedom.

The immediate gains that Prime Minister and BJP are looking at through this complicit crony capitalism is corporate funding for electoral benefit because widening gap between funding for the BJP and all other political parties are apparent. The amended electoral funding laws make electoral bonds new tax heavens with ruling dispensation to influence policy which would disproportionately benefit them even if this is detrimental to interest of nation in general and poor and working class in particular. Therefore, provision for unlimited and anonymous corporate funding of political parties must be nullified by withdrawing electoral bonds.

BJP has cultivated hate in the society. There has been sharp increase in targeted attacks on Muslims minorities and Dalits. However, for a democratic country like India — most heart-wrenching is that the state government openly endorsed such attacks and attackers. BJP ministers welcome murderers and rapists with garlands. The government supported all those people who were against these particular sections of society. Government has indirectly given them law to take action against anyone they want to.

Thousands cases of lynching, shooting, burning, and killing Muslims and Dalits have been registered in last five years and every time a crime was committed by BJP workers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was silent and at the same time he was vocal about putting his condolences and condemning attacks, deaths, natural disasters in countries other than India. By using Ram Janmabhoomi and Babri Masjid dispute during his 2014 election rallies – Modi was successful in gaining highest mandate from people and he understands it very well that how to play with religious sentiments of Hindus.

In this game of politics, BJP has divided the country on religious lines and has created hatred in its supporters towards Dalits and minorities which is destroying the fabric of our democracy. So the question remains many that, has it become democracy to come into government by making country a republic, are they Indians who robbed country and now claiming themselves to be the real republicans, is Indian nationalism or nationalism limited to just making or breaking government. Is ruling party hesitating to play with country by turning constitution into government, is it easy to run away from country after openly looting it?

The way one gets into government is highly completely (the way election is done) stick to heavy finance which can neither be earned with honesty nor it can be returned without dishonesty. Has India become centre of attraction in this world because it has highest earning or because the way almost 80 percent of Indian population goes with hope of just having bread for a time and don’t care for tomorrow or even the one who failed everywhere can even be benefitted from Indian markets?

Or, India is gradually taking itself to that ancient state where there is no way of development. It wants to give glorious circumstances of past to the government by wrapping it up in a sheet of religion or definition of freedom is carved, slogans of nationalism and freedom or of nationalism is raised under the faith so that citizen could not notice out ruling party while they loot the country, keep dragging it down and down and the measures to do so is still being searched continuously.
