The Problem of Black money is not a new phenomenon. India is not only country where there is black money generated. But India is one of the biggest (or biggest?) nations where such a huge quantum of unaccounted money is involved.
There has been an old cry regarding the huge black money deposited in foreign tax heaven nations, and there has been demand to bring them into main stream too. But like farmers and adiwasis, this question was lying unattended by politicians and Governments (Government is plural, mind it!) and like former was in the interest of all politicians. After all there are very few cases where all politicians are in consensus.
In last few months, again there is rising of thought to bring this treasure into economy. The reason was very appreciable Suprem courts wordings on the issue when Justice B Sudershan Reddy and Justice SS Nijjar rightly asserted that unaccounted money was nothing but plunder of the nation with serious security ramifications. “Its pure and simple theft of national money.” Whery rightly commented by SC.We are very much thankful to Supreme court which has raised a voice and forced government on something worse in administration of nation. We are really thankful to our Constitution who gave this autonomy to judiciary apart it from executives. There has been Rs.20,00,00,00,00,00,000 (deliberately not written in words, count twice!!) this much money is deposited in Swiss banks owned by Indians (politicians and political big shots).
The amount was declared and first reaction from Indians…. “Big deal…it was expected”!!!... (We are well versed in counting up to 10,000 Crores! (and now 1,74,000 Crores!)).Actually Indians are now confused with what reaction this needs…
Rs. 20Lacs Crores is almost half of our Gross Domestic product i.e. value of goods and services we all together produce every year. This is half of the efforts by farmers, workers, labours, traders, professionals, producers during the year…which these politicians ate till date and got away from the economy. All money produced in the economy is circulated within either goes to government through tax to finance (politicians and residual for) development plans. This money is used for the betterment of infrastructure, for creating good employment, opportunities and this is everything for what we pay to government. The money earned and produced in economy, brought in economy from outer space (like export) is used for the betterment of my nation and citizens. Then isn’t it shameful if half of the amount is lying in foreign nations which are not used of our economy at all. Foreign nations are using this money to finance and develop themselves. Who gave rights to politicians to dispose of money which we earned, the way they want? When could we dare to ask them the question?
UPA government is now under real scanner…
It’s quite unacceptable why congress is not ready to take action? Mr. PM said as 100 days agenda after assuming the chair, to bring all unaccounted money into India. He didn’t deliver... (it was too expected!) Now when the question is open on dias why he is not making the move? He is infact trying to hide the names. Mr. Pranab Mukharjee commented that they cannot disclose the names because of want of confidentiality clause of various treaties. First of all, these are all blunders. Do these treaties more important than aam admi? Who is important? These pieces of papers and words written or the lives of the citizen of our nation? Can a law overwhelm the welfare of nation? Can an agreement be preferred over the remedy against cheating with Crores of people?
Mukharjee says “we are bound by International treaties and commitments.” ….And you are not bound to Indian people?
But that’s the question…what exactly should be our reaction on this? Indian politics and politicians are so much in sheet…that now politicians don’t feel bad after being declared involved in scam, nor we Indians feel ashamed or angry or annoyed by the news. The system is now assumed and system has assumed us all!!
We know politicians do take bribe and for everything…This has became so much “expected”…that we can easily fold and keep news paper aside after reading most immoral and ridiculous news like politicians and Government baboos stolen land reserved for unfortunate better halves of those who sacrificed their blood for us…I remember the days when politicians at least used to feel ashamed…so they were taking bribes under the table. But now they have thrown away all the limitations of morality…Adarsh is too much. What worse can we expect from our politicians?
But we are used to it…and that’s where Indian democracy died thousand deaths…we don’t feel that its something above the tolerance level…we either have became so open heart or have became deaf and dumb…we otherwise fight for the fourth place, any one entering in between the queue and are silent even seeing how these politicians are playing with our money and their powers…!
What a person would do to me…if I stop someone on road, take away five hundred bugs from his wallet and just torn it…
Politicians are doing it every day and we are not saying anything?
These 20 Lacs Crores is my sweat divided by my sacrifices multiplied by reciprocal of the time and pleasure which I took away from my loved ones…
Politicians are just doing mess with my maths and I am busy calculating square root of infinity!
