In general, most important topics are placed first, and understanding first few pages would not need any information on what is written on later pages. Why is this manifesto so voluminous? Is it possible to summarize Constitution and all laws in a say 20-30 pages? I guess not. Same way, the book describes proposed solutions to poverty and corruption in about 45-50 GoI departments in India and so it is voluminous. And, this is first volume’s first edition. The second edition of this book will be about 500 pages, and second volume will discuss 20-25 more issues/departments, and will have another 500 pages. And the book uses larger fonts and uses more spaces between lines than most usual books, so that senior citizens too can read it properly. This has also increased the size of this book. Will ‘people’ read such a long book? Consider a person who wants to spend time to reduce poverty and corruption . If he is convinced that 60 hours needed to read this book is worth his time, he will surely read it. Now if I shorten the book for sake of shortening it, the quality may worsen, and so it will become less worthy of reading. So I preferred to keep the size of chapters as needed. Once a few pro-poor anti-corruption activists are convinced that this 330 page long Manifesto is worth the time, the word of mouth will prompt the rest that this book is worth the time. Putting it other way, I don’t have brand name, and IMO the best way to create brand name is to write each chapter well, not shorten it for sake of shortening it.

Chap-3 has more details on RTI2. ) 1.1 Is this a joke? The intellectuals of India have claimed that poverty, corruption in police, corruption in judges, corruption in education etc problems are so difficult that it would take decades of Herculean efforts to reduce these problems. And here comes Rahul Chimanbhai Mehta (myself), and boldly claims that RTI2 -a mere three line proposed Govt Notification -can reduce poverty and corruption in police, judges, education etc and that too within mere 4 months. And I further boast that the proposed RTI2 draft has no negative side effect, and the proposed RTI2 draft is 100% Constitutional and in synch with all the existing laws. And it doesn’t need a legislation from MPs/MLAs – a Govt Notification will suffice as all three clauses of RTI2 already come under existing powers of PM, CM etc. Can such a short GN draft even exist? Most intellectuals of India have refused to accept that such a trivial short law-draft can reduce poverty and corruption even by 1%. Either these intellectuals are all wrong or I am a 200% liar and also a 400% insane joker. You, the reader, can decide, whether the intellectuals are wrong or I am a joker, if and after you decide to read this chapter and next 3 chapters, and have read the intellectuals’ rebuttals against my proposed RTI2 law-draft. And I will add more to my claim -the 3 line RTI2 Govt Notification that I have proposed will do lot more than reducing poverty and corruption in police\courts\education. Within 4-8 months, RTI2-GN will improve Military, ration card system (public distribution system) and ALL depts in Govt. And proposed RTI2 has no negative side effect. If these claim ever turn out to be true, it would be an extremely shameful event for all intellectuals. So finally, what is this three line proposed RTI2 GN, and how can this RTI2 GN do these tasks and that too within mere 4 months? And one more question comes is : how do I propose to mobilize activists and citizens to force PM to sign RTI2 draft? On this, I make a much taller claim. If as small as 200,000 anticorruuptio pro-poor activists in India spend just one hour a week on the list of 30-40 tiny actions I have proposed in chap-13, then in less than a year, their actions will create a non-violent mass movement that will force PM to sign the RTI2 law or a law which contains RTI2. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 7 1.2 The draft of the proposed RTI2 GN at National level The proposed RTI2 GN has only 3 clauses, as follows. Please note that the 3rd clause is a mere declaration. So the proposed RTI2 GN has only 2 operational clauses. I request all citizens of India to force PM to sign the following Govt Notification : # Officer Procedure 1 Collector (or his clerk) 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 citizenvoote in his district submits a Right to Information application or complaint against corruption or any affidavit to the Collector and requests to be put on the website of Prime Minister, the Collector or his designated clerk will issue a serial number and put that affidavit etc on the website of the Prime Minister for a fee of Rs 20 per page. 2 Talati, Patwari, Village Officer (or his clerk) The President orders Patwari that : 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 an RTI application, complaint or any affidavit submitted in cluase-1, the Patwari will enter his Yes-No on the PM’s website with his voter-ID and give a printed receipt for Rs 3 fee. The Patwari will also allow citizen to change his Yes-No for Rs 3 fee. The fee will be Re 1 for BPL card holder 3 [To all Citizens, Officers, Ministers …] This RTI2 GN is not a referendum procedure. The Yes-No count will not be a binding on PM, CMs, officers, judges etc. If over 37 crore women voters, dalit voters, senior citizen voters, poor voters, farmer voters or ANY 37 crore citizen-voters register Yes on a given affidavit, then the PM may or need not take necessary action on the RTI application affidavit ; or the PM may or need not resign. PM’s decision will be final. I summarize the RTI2 law as o If a citizen wants, then by visiting DC’s office, he can put RTI application on PM’s website. o If a citizen supports an application, complain etc, then by visiting Talati’s (Patwari etc) office, citizen can register his support to an RTI application etc on PM’s website for a Rs 3/-fee. This 3 line proposed RTI2 law will reduce poverty and corruption in 4 months !! Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 8 1.3 Do all citizens in India have internet to use this law? This is the most common wrong question I get on proposed RTI2-GN. I call it wrong question, because the proposed law does not at all require the citizens to have an internet connection to begin with. Whether the citizen has internet or not, he must visit the Collector’s office in person to submit his complaint or RTI application. And whether he has internet or not, he must visit Talati’s (Lekhpal, Patwari, Village Officer, VO) office in person to register YES on a complaint or affidavit. So internet is not at all required for a citizen to use this law. And even if a person has internet, it would make no difference. So the law can be used by all citizen-voters of India. If he has internet connection, he can read the affidavits with ease. But then so can someone without internet ---he only needs to ask someone who has internet connection. 1.4 One line summary of RTI2 One line summary of RTI2 is : if a citizen wants, Collector will put citizen’s complaint on the website of the Prime Minister for a fee. The words “RTI application, complaints against corruption, any affidavit” only re-state the word complaint. And allowing citizen to file YES on complaints is only so that if 10000 citizens have same complaint then all 10000 need not go to Collector’s office and pay Rs 20 per page – only one person needs to go to Collector’s office and rest can submit same complaint by paying mere Rs 3 to local Talati or Patwari’s office. So clause-3 is just a re-statement of clause-1. And posting answer on website pf Prime Minister is again re-statement of clause-1, for any citizen can always put the answer on website of Prime Minister by filing affidavit which contains the answer. 1.5 More about clause-1 of RTI2 The clause-1 of RTI2 reads as “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 ….“ – Why write woman voter, dalit voter, poor voter when just writing any voter would have sufficed? Because if anyone opposes clause-1, then an RTI2 supporter can portray him as anti-woman, anti-dalit, anti-poor, anti-farmer etc . And a large number of activist leaders in India have specialized as saviors of women, dalits, tribal, poors etc. and these if these activist leaders oppose clause-1 of RTI2, then pro-RTI2 supporter can label then as anti-woman, anti-dalit etc. This will enable RTI2 supporters to ensure their silence. 1.6 Is that all? Yes, that’s all about RTI2. Nothing more. So now the question is : how can such a mere 3 line law solve daunting problem of poverty? How can it solve equally tough problems like corruption in policemen/judges? And many problems as I claim? 1.7 So how does RTI2 reduce poverty within 3-4 months? When I said that three line law can reduce poverty and corruption in 4 months, you must have taken it as a lie and a joke and I wont blame you. And now after reading these three lines, you must be intensely puzzled that how can such innocent looking three line bring change? After all, all RTI2 says is – let people put their complain on the website of Prime Minister if they want. What change can it bring at all? Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 9 The day PM signs this RTI2-GN, I will submit about 200 affidavits. The drafts of all these affidavits are on my website http://rahulmehta.com and drafts and brief description of some of the affidavits is given in this manifesto. The first affidavit is what I call as MRCM – Mineral Royalties for Citizens and Military. The MRCM affidavit is a 7-8 page proposed Govt Notification listed in chapter-6 titled as “Mineral Royalties for Citizens …”. The proposed MRCM draft creates an administrative system by which each citizen of India directly gets mineral royalties and land rents from GoI plots. E.g. Say in Nov-2010, the mineral royalties and land rent from GoI plots was Rs 30000 cr. Then as per the proposed MRCM law, Rs 10000 cr will go towards Military. And from rest Rs 20000 cr, each citizen will get about Rs 200 deposited in his local post office account or local SBI account. Is distributing cash to 75 citizen-voters too complicated? No, it is not. If each of the adult citizen of India visits bank once a month to withdraw the cash, only about 100,000 clerks will be needed. Is 100,000 clerk a too big a number? No. Existing SBI has staff of over 300,000 and all PSU banks together have staff of over 600,000. So the staff needed to support MRCMdrraf is not very large. The proposed MRCM Govt Notification has Right to Recall Chief Officer built into it to ensure least corruption. Each and every detail is given the 7-8 page draft mentioned later in chapter-6. Now I will ask some questions to the reader. Please read rest of the chapter only after answering these question as they come. Background information for the question is as follows : 1. Say citizens have forced PM to sign RTI2 law. 2. Say someone submitted MRCM affidavit which says that mineral royalties and land rent should directly go to citizens 3. Now in a later chapter, I have explained how 72 crores citizens of India will come to know about the proposed MRCM affidavit within one month. 4. Of the 72 crore adult citizens of India, for the purpose of this question, please consider the economically bottom 80% i.e. economically bottom 55 crore adult citizens of India, who barely make Rs 50 per day My first question to you the reader is : How many of these 55 crore citizen-voters who barely make Rs 50 per day will say – I do not want this Rs 200 per person per month or whatever may be the amount and let this money go into GoI account? Please read further ONLY after answering the above question. My answer is – less than 5% will say that I do not want this Rs 200 per person per month. So most of the citizens in bottom 55 crores of the 72 crore adult citizens will have one main thought ---what do I lose? only Rs 3/-(see clause-2 of RTI2 draft) and nothing more. And if luck favors, I may actually get Rs 200 per person per month. What is your answer to this first question? How many citizens in bottom 55 cr in your opinion will say that I don’t want this mineral royalty and land rent money? Now I have another question to the reader. The background information for the question is as follows : 1. Say PM has been forced to sign RTI2 law. 2. Say someone submitted MRCM affidavit and 50 crore citizens submitted YES on it Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 10 My second question to the reader is : do you think that PM will dare to say that “I will not sign the proposed MRCM law”? i.e. Will any PM dare to defy the YES from 50 crore or more citizens? Again, please read further ONLY after answering the above question. Please re-read the clause-3 of the RTI2 draft. The clause clearly says that even if all 72 crore citizen-voters submit YES on an affidavit, then also the PM is not at all required to sign the law proposed in the affidavit. But no PM has courage to defy 50 cr citizen voters. So my answer is – PM will sign the MRCM law. Why? Because each citizen who has registered YES knows that he has 50 crore fellow citizens supporting his demand, and so each will confront PM openly thru means he sees legitimate. And PM knows that citizens will agitate and he also knows that his 15 lakh policemen cant stop so many citizen. So PM out of fears will not dare to defy so many citizens. So within 1-2 months after RTI2 law comes, the citizens will be able to force the PM to sign MRCM law. And within 1-2 months after MRCM law is signed, the citizens will start getting mineral royalties and land rent from GoI plots, and thus poverty will reduce. Later, the wealth tax reforms suggested will increase industrial production and remove poverty completely These tax reforms are enumerated on http://rahulmehta.com/tax.htm and in the chap-25 in this book This is where power of RTI2-draft comes. RTI2 doesn’t reduce poverty. But without RTI2, PM will never ever sign MRCM-draft because he and MPs want to eat away mineral royalty. But if RTI2 comes, PM will be compelled to sign MRCM-draft. How is RTI2 making difference? RTI2’s clause-2 allows citizen to register YES on a draft submitted in clause-1. And the same clause-2 also tells citizens that crores of citizens are with him. It becomes easy for citizens to bring change when crores have agreed, and these crores of citizens know that crores are with them. They will not feel alone ---they will feel each other’s support. Just as a person is more powerful in mob, RTI2 makes citizen-voters more powerful when majority’s agreement has been proven. 1.8 How will crores of citizens come to know that MRCM affidavit has been submitted? I will first describe a real event. In around year 2002, GoI made a scheme that every senior citizen whose income is below Rs 50000 a year will get Rs 200 per month. GoI did not advertise the scheme in TV, newspaper, radio anywhere. Yet, within a short span of say 9-10 months, almost every senior citizen who was eligible was enrolled in the scheme. How did the word spread? When something is in immediate, personal and direct interest, the words spreads like electric current. Once citizens force PM to sign RTI2, and once MRCM affidavit is filed, the word on MRCM affidavit will spread equally fast, because MRCM is in direct, immediate and personal interest. The task a citizen has to do is ---only visit Patwari’s office for 10-15 minutes and pay Rs 3 fee. And since MRCM is in his direct and immediate interest, he will tell as many neighbors, relatives, friends etc about it. This is how word on MRCM affidavit will reach to crores of citizens within few days. 1.9 How does RTI2 law reduce corruption in police? Now my third question to the reader is : Why is corruption in US policemen low? The one and only one reason why corruption in US police is low is because citizens in US have Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 11 procedure to expel District Police Commissioner of their district. So the District Police Commissioners in US take very less bribes and also ensure that their junior staff doesn’t take too much bribes. If a Police Commissioner in US comes to know that his junior staff is taking bribes, he will immediately run a sting operation, gather evidences and gets them expelled. Because he fears that if corruption in junior staff increases, the citizens may expel him. But in India, citizens have NO procedure to expel Police Chief. And so the Police Chief not only collects bribes, he asks his juniors to collect maximal bribes as well. A typical Police Commissioner keeps half of what he collects from his juniors and passes the remaining half to MLAs, Home Minister and CM. I explained this the chap-2 of this book. Now I have prepared a draft of a proposed Govt Notification in chap-22, which when signed by CM will create a procedure by which the citizens of district will be able to replace the District Police Commissioner, if they want. I call this draft as Right to Recall Police Commissioner. The draft is 100% consistent with each of the 33 dozen Articles of our Constitution and all our existing laws. The draft is given in chap-22 related to “Improving Police” in this book. Now my 4th question to the reader is : Will any existing CM of India, be Sheela Dixit of Congress or Modi of BJP or Bhattachrya of CPM or Karunanidhi of DMK ever sign a law enabling citizens to replace District Police Commissioner today? My guess is : NO. Because if citizens get procedure to expel District Police Commissioner, then the Commissioners will get scared and will reduce their monthly bribe collection from Rs 1 crore to mere Rs 1 lakh. And in that case, the monthly hafta Police Commissioner gives to MLAs, Home Minister and Chief Minister will also fall from Rs 50 lakh to mere Rs 50,000. And so MLA, CM etc as of now will refuse to enact a law that would allow us commons to replace District Police Commissioner. But the situation changes after we citizens manage to force the PM to sign the proposed RTI2 GN. Say citizens have managed to force the PM to sign the RTI2-GN. Then someone will submit is DPC-RP affidavit. Most citizens will think “if this Right to Replace District Police Commissioner reduces the corruption in police even by 5%, my Rs 3 is worth spent ”. And the biggest reason that will motivate citizens to register YES on DPC-RP is hatred against corruption in policemen, who make lakhs of rupees a months, while a common man barely makes a few thousand a month after hard labor. So again, if 70% to 80% of citizens of a State register YES using clause-2 of RTI2, the CM out of fear will mellow down, lose all his bravado and will sign DPC-RP law. The fear of losing job is Supreme in a govt. officer or a judge. So within 14 days after citizens get procedure to expel District Police Commissioner, the corruption in Police Commissioner as well as other policemen will reduce by over 99%. Thus within 3 months after RTI2 passes, corruption in policemen will become near-zero. The Right to Recall Police Chief. is just beginning. Next comes recall procedures by which we commons can replace PM, CM, MLAs, MPs, Supreme Court Chief judge, High Court Chief judges, Reserve Bank Governor, State Bank Chairman, District Education Office, Mayor and officials at 251 positions at National, State and District levels. Which recall law do you think citizens will oppose? My answer is : NONE. So after RTI2 passes, chances are very high that within 6 months citizens will force PM to enact replacement procedures over 251 positions. And so corruption in all these positions will end for good.

Now if citizens can force PM to sign RTI2 at National Level, this RTI2 at State level is not needed at all. # Officer Procedure 1 District Collector (or his clerk) The Governor hereby orders the Collector that : if a woman voter or dalit voter or senior citizen voter or poor voter or farmer voter or ANY citizen-voter submits a Right to Information application or complaint against corruption or any affidavit to the Collector and requests to be put on the website of the Chief Minister, the Collector or his clerk will issue a serial number and put the affidavit on the website of the Chief Minister for a fee of Rs 20 per page. 2 Talati, Patwari, Village Officer (or his clerk) The Governor hereby orders the Patwari that : 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 an RTI application, complaint or any affidavit submitted in cluase-1, the Talati will enter his Yes-No on the CM’s website with his voter-ID and give a printed receipt for Rs 3 fee. The Talati will also allow citizen to change his Yes-No for Rs 3 fee. The fee will be Re 1 for BPL card holder 3 [To all Citizens, Officers, Ministers …] This is not a referendum procedure. The Yes-No count will not be a binding on PM, CMs, officers, judges etc. If over XXX crores women voters, dalit voters, senior citizen voters, poor voters, farmer voters or ANY XXX crore citizenvotter register Yes on a given affidavit, then the CM may or need not take necessary action on the RTI application affidavit ; or the CM may or need not resign. CM’s decision will be final. XXX in the above draft is equal to 51% of voter population in that State.

Now if citizens can force PM to sign RTI2 at National Level, or force CM to sign RTI2 at the State level, then this RTI2 at City level is not needed at all. But if citizens have so far not managed to force PM, CM then it is not a bad idea to force Mayor to sign the following law. # Officer Procedure 1 Municipal Commissioner (or his clerk) The Mayor hereby asks Municipals Commissioner that : if a woman voter or dalit voter or senior citizen voter or poor voter or farmer voter or ANY citizen-voter submits a Right to Information application or complaint against corruption or any affidavit to the Mayor and requests to be put on the website of the Mayor, the Mayor or his clerk will issue a serial number and put the affidavit on the website of the Mayor for a fee of Rs 20 per page. 2 Civic Center Clerk The Mayor hereby asks Municipal Commissioner to order Civic Center Clerk that : 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 an RTI application, complaint or any affidavit submitted in cluase-1, the Civic Center Clerk will enter his Yes-No on the Mayor’s website with his voter-ID and give a printed receipt for Rs 3 fee. The Clerk will also allow citizen to change his Yes-No for Rs 3 fee. The fee will be Re 1 for BPL card holder 3 [To all Citizens, Officers, Ministers …] This is not a referendum procedure. The Yes-No count will not be a binding on PM, CMs, officers, judges etc. If over XXX crores women voters, dalit voters, senior citizen voters, poor voters, farmer voters or ANY XXX lakh citizen-voters register Yes on a given affidavit, then the Mayor may or need not take necessary action on the RTI application affidavit ; or the Mayor may or need not resign. Mayor’s decision will be final. XXX in the above draft is equal to 51% of voter population in that City To get draft for District Panchayat, replace some words like Mayor by District Panchayat Adhyaksh and Municipal Commissioner by Collector etc. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 14 1.12 Draft of RTI2 at District Panchayat Level I request all citizens of India to force the Adhyaksh of their District Panchayats to sign the following resultion after getting it paased from District Panachayat : # Officer Procedure 1 District Collector (or his clerk) The Panchayat hereby asks DC that : if a woman voter or dalit voter or senior citizen voter or poor voter ANY citizen-voter submits a RTI application or complaint against corruption or any affidavit to the Municipal Commissioner and demands to be put on the website of the Mayor, the clerk will issue a serial number and put it on Mayor’s website for a fee of Rs 20 per page. 2 Patwari (or Talati or VO ) or his clrek The Panchayat hereby asks Patwari that if a woman voter or a dalit voter or a poor voter or ANY citizen-voter comes with voter ID, and specifies Yes-No on an RTI application, complaint or any affidavit submitted in cluase-1, the Patwari will enter his Yes-No on the Collector’s website with his voter-ID and give a printed receipt for Rs 3 fee. The clerk will also allow citizen to change his Yes-No for Rs 3 fee. The fee will be Re 1 for BPL card holder 3 ----The Yes-No count will not be a binding on Mayor or officers etc. The Adhyaksh may or need not take necessary action on the RTI application affidavit ; or the Mayor or may or need not resign. Decision of Adhyaksh will be final.

Those who are PIL-enthusiastic can file a PIL to get RTI2 law enacted. The PIL applicant can ask the HCj to issue following order # Officer Procedure 1 Registrar of District Court The High Court hereby orders the Registrar of District Courts that : if a woman voter or dalit voter or senior citizen voter or poor voter or farmer voter or ANY citizen-voter can submit a PIL application in High Court with an affidavit for a fee of Rs 20 per page, and the District Court Registrar will put the affidavit on the website of the High Court. 2 Talati aka Patwari aka Village Officer The High Court orders every Talati (Patwari) that : 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 an PIL posted on the website of High Court, then the Talati or his clerk will enter his Yes-No on the website of High Court with his voter-ID and give a printed receipt for Rs 3 fee. The Clerk will also allow citizen to change his Yes-No for Rs 3 fee. The fee will be Re 1 for BPL card holder 3 [To all Citizens] This is not a referendum procedure. The Yes-No count will not be a binding on PM, CMs, officers, judges etc. One can enter a PIL asking Honorable High Court Justice (or a Supreme Court Justice) to issue an order to the Registrars of The District Courts and Talati as above. If any HC or SC Justice passes the order as mentioned above, then within 4 months, the poverty will reduce and corruption in police, court, education etc will become near zero. 1.14 How to denigrate leaders, intellectuals who oppose RTI2 So all in all, RTI2 says nothing more or less than : please allow a citizen if he wants to put his grievances on the website of Prime Minister. Now if a leader or an intellectual opposes clause-1 of RTI2 draft on any grounds, pro-RTI2 activist like myself can abuse that leader, intellectual in public by saying : you don’t want woman voter, dalit voter. poor voter, senior citizen voter, farmer, labor etc to even have his complaint on the website of Prime Minister, eh? And I can further denigrate him by labeling him as anti-woman, anti-dalit, anti-poor, anti-farmer, anti-labor etc. Which is why till date, all intellectuals, leaders etc oppose RTI2-draft, but no intellectuals has ever dared to oppose RTI2-draft in public. So all a pro-RTI2 activist need to do is to ask intellectuals, leaders to give his views on clause-1 to clause-3 of RTI2-draft in public. And the intellectual, leader will start mumbling and fumbling with unease. I would request pro-RTI2 activist to discuss the RTI2 clause-wise. Please ask the intellectual – “why do you refuse to take initiative in letting a complaint of citizens come on the website of Prime Minister?” OR “ why do you oppose clause-1 Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 16 of RTI2-draft?”. This will put the leader and intellectual on defensive to a point he simply cant defend himself. Later, his silence or refusal to support clause-1 of RTI2 can be used to convince the supporters of that leader, intellectual that that leader, intellectual is an agent of rich. Please note that purpose of having dialogue with a leader, intellectual is not to convince him that RTI2 is good, for an agent of wealthy individuals is never ever going to agree. The purpose of dialogue is to expose the leader, intellectual before his committed followers that the said leader, intellectual is an agent of rich and not a pro-poor, pro-common person. This way, the true-Nationalist, pro-common followers will desert that leader, intellectual and that leader, intellectual will become weaker, and the true-Nationalist and pro-common followers will become supporters of RTI2. So as time goes, those who support RTI2 will increase in number and the intellectuals, leaders who oppose RTI2 will become weaker and weaker. These actions will increase the chances that the PM, CMs will be forced to sign RTI2. 1.15 How can you help in brining RTI2? Chap-13 gives a list of 40 small steps which will take you no more than 1 hour a week, zero donations and enable you to help the cause of bringing RTI2, RTR etc drafts in India. 1.16 Why no one thought of this before? The reader may ask that if this 3 line RTI2 law-draft can reduce poverty, how come no one thought of it before? And the fact that no one thought of it before ---doesn’t that prove that such law cant exist? The civilizations have seen many landmark oversights. E.g. Romans and Greeks managed accounts of Cities and Empires, made a lot of progress in Geometry and Logic, but could not discover “Zero of Arithmetic”. Likewise, Incas and Maya had made calendars, made palaces, made bridges but had not discovered wheel, the “Zero of Logistics” !! The proposed RTI2 draft is the “Zero of Political Arithmetic”. Just as the Zero of Arithmetic remained undiscovered for centuries, it has happened that “Zero of Political Arithmetic” remained undiscovered till now. It need not surprise anyone. 1.17 How RTI2 is the Zero of Political Arithmetic? Just as the Zero of Arithmetic simplifies many daunting tasks in Arithmetic, and makes it possible to improve other branches of Maths, same way RTI2 makes it trivially easy to enact many laws such as MRCM, RTR etc. The proposed RTI2 simplifies political task of law-making in the same way zero simplifies basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. And just as simplification of addition, subtraction, division, multiplication lead to leaps of progress in other branches of Maths. Eg Try adding XLVII with XXII . And then try adding 47 with 22 and see how invention of zero (and place value , face value) simplified addition. And in the same way, try multiplying XLVII with XXII, and the multiply 47 with 22. And next divide XLV by IX and then divide 45 by 9. And these are just two digit numbers. Please try some examples of 4-6 digit numbers’ addition, multiplication, subtraction and division with Roman Numerals and then decimals. RTI2 works same as the way Zero works in arithmetic. It simplifies the task of proving or disproving whether the majority will like or hate a proposal. And thus it simplifies task of controlling officers via citizens. The Politics is not about how ruler will govern the citizens, it is Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 17 about how citizens can stop rulers from usurping citizens’ wealth. RTI2 simplifies this good politics. 1.18 Summary I have explained how mere 3 line RTI2 law will reduce poverty, corruption in policemen etc. The interested reader is welcome to phone me on 98252-32754 or 98251-27780. And if you like this law, please do sign the petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/rti2en . This first small step is extremely important to get this RTI2 law passed. And next, please do read chap-13 . This chapter-13 has list of tasks that an activist can follow by spending no more than 1 hr a week. And if mere 200,000 activists all over India follow this program once a week, India can improve. The list of tasks are mere activities which involve time and no donation gathering at all.

You must have heard from your relatives, friends in US that the corruption in US police\courts is far less than corruption in India’s police\courts. Every NRI in India must have noticed this from day one. E.g. when I was in US from 1990-1998. I was stopped by Constables 5 times for traffic violations. The constables fined me three times and pardoned me two times, but didn’t even hint that they were interested in bribes. Why? And this must have been a mystery to you – why are the policemen\judges in US far less corrupt? Are the policemen\judges in US so stupid, compared to the policemen\judges of India, that they cant think of clever ways to extort bribes from their citizens? No, they are not so stupid. Are they so coward that they cant muster courage to arm twist citizens and squeeze bribes from them? No , they are as courageous as policemen in India – no less. Then are all policemen\judges in US saints free from greed? No. There cant be millions of greed-free people in any country. Then is higher salary alone main reason for low corruption? Well, lets say we double the salaries of our policemen\judges in India this week; then will they will they give us even 10% discount in bribes starting next week? For example, in 2009-2010, Govt tripled the salaries of all judges. Did the judges give even 10% discount in bribery next day? I guess not. If a GoI employee thinks that his salary should be twice of what he is getting, and so he needs bribes, then does he stop taking bribes after collecting bribes equal to 30 years of salary difference? No, most of them never stop. So salary is surely an important issue, but not a major factor to create the difference between levels of corruption in India and US. Then what else can be the reason? Is our culture a reason? Many intellectuals (ku-buddheejeevies?) of India have 4 digit IQ, and they say that policemen in India are more corrupt because we commons are uneducated, unaware, lack moral character, we have bad political culture etc. IOW, as per these intellectuals with 4 digit IQ, we the citizens are responsible for the corruption in policemen\judges !! These “blame the victim” explanation given by intellectuals with 4 digit IQ is something I dismiss as a white lie. It reeks and stinks like “women are responsible for rapes”. The arguments that “citizens don’t have awareness” or “citizens have bad culture” are total nonsense. Even most illiterate person is very much aware that corruption is immoral and it is crime. And surely all policemen, judges, Ministers are very much aware that corruption is illegal and immoral. And even when education in US was less than 5% in year 1800s, they did not have such corrupt police, courts etc. Hence IMO, lesser education is a non-issue, “citizens lack awareness” is total nonsense cooked up by intellectuals with 4 digit IQ and “citizens have bad culture” is a white lie. Then what are the real reasons behind lesser corruption in US policemen? Lets divide police force in two broad parts – junior officers like Constables\Inspectors and seniors like District Police Commissioner. The Constables in US rarely ask for bribes because District Police Commissioners in US set traps. So a Constable knows that 1 out 100-500 law violator is a trap set by Commissioner and if he dares to ask for a bribe, he might get caught and land in prison. E.g. when I was in US from 1990-1998. I was stopped by Constables 5 Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 19 times for traffic violations. The constables fined me three times and pardoned me two times, but didn’t even hint that they were interested in bribes. Why? The main reason being : he knew that 1 out 200 such traffic violators are traps set by Commissioner and he doesn’t know which one is the trap. So he forgoes bribes in all 200 cases. And many nodal officers in US like District Education Officer, District Public Prosecutors, Governors etc set traps against officers, Ministers, judges. The occasional traps keep all junior staff bribe free. So the fact that “Commissioner sets traps” explains why junior staff is less corrupt. But then why do Police Commissioners in US set traps to stop bribes while most Police Commissioners in India order Constables to collect bribes? What creates this difference? Why don’t Police Commissioners of US also give collection targets to Constables? The one and only reason is : citizens in US have procedure to expel District Police Chief (aka Right to Recall aka Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa). IOW, if citizens in a US district want to expel District Police Chief they dont need to approach DIG or CM or Home Minister and file complaints. The citizens of US also do not need to approach High Court judges and file worthless PILs. The citizens in US only need to prove that majority district voters want Police Commissioner to be expelled. And once the majority is proven against a District Police Chief, he is expelled and no High Court judge or Supreme Court judge dares to throw stay order and delay his expulsion. Likewise, if citizens in US want to expel CM, Mayor, District judge, District Public Prosecutor, District Education Officer etc they don’t need to approach MLAs or PM or party leaders or judges – the citizens only need to prove majority opinion in that District or State. So Police Chief and all nodal officers fear that if staff becomes very corrupt, citizens may expel him. And so these nodal officers like Police Commissioners set traps and so corruption in junior staff is less. Now is this procedure to expel nodal officer, aka Right to Recall an American concept? Is it an un-Indian concept, as many anti-recall intellectuals say? NO. Chap-6 of Satyarth Prakash is “Raaj Dharm”. In this chapter, Swami Dayanand enumerates powers of citizens, officers, Ministers, judges and their duties. In the very first page of chap-6, Swami Dayanand establishes the foundation of Raaj-Dharm. Swami Dayanand gives two words -“Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa”. And in these two words, he summarizes 10000 proposals on good politics. And then he elaborates : “Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob the citizens and destroy the nation”. And he has taken shlokas from Atharvaved. And a cursory comparison of India’s Police Commissioner, Ministers, judges etc with US Police Commissioner, Ministers, judges etc shows how correct the sages who wrote Atharvaved and Swami Dayanand are. The citizens in US have procedures to expel their District Police Chief, CM etc i.e. they are all Prajaa-aadheen, and so Police Chief, judges, CM etc in US don’t rob citizens but protect citizens Whereas citizens in India cant expel or do any damage to Police Chief, CM etc and thus they are not Prajaa-aadheen. And so we see that most Ministers, judges in India are busy robbing us commons. How apt is the analogy of Maharshi Dayanand – “just as carnivorous animal eats other animals, a Raajaa who is not Prajaa-aadheen would rob his citizens”. And thus of all things in this world -two words from Satyarth Prakash explain why corruption in US police is low. And to me, it is an utter irony that I have to give example of US to prove the worthiness of these two words of Satyarth Prakash. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 20 2.2 Right to Recall and Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa Now how are Right to Recall and “Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa” related? The ‘Right to Recall’ means procedure by which citizens can expel any officer/judge/Minister anytime and without approaching any higher authority and only via proving the majority. RTR (with the Jury based variant of RTR) is the only known method to make Raajaa Prajaa-aadheen and thus reduce corruption in Ministers, officers, policemen and judges. There are a plethora of alternate institution based proposals like police board, judocratic commission etc. but all of them are proven total failures. These institutions only corner corruption, they do not reduce it. Any procedure which keeps Raajaa autonomous (read : autocratic) of Prajaa can only re-distribute corruption, cannot decrease it. If the citizens have no direct way to expel officers, judges, Ministers, and can expel them only after begging before other officers, judges, MLAs, MPs, Ministers etc, then the citizens will fail to control officers, judges, Ministers. The officers, Ministers, judges etc will endlessly extort bribes, demand all immoral favors and also throw unspeakable atrocities on citizens. And worst, they may also sell away the nation the foreigners. The officers, judges, Ministers, be juniors or seniors, will almost always form “quid pro quo” nexuses amongst each other. And using the nexuses, they will protect each other. Hence there will be no punishment against corrupt and so the corruption will run amok. They will always cite “lack of proof” as excuse and support the corruption of fellow Minister, officers, judges. The direct intervention of citizens is the only method known to mankind which is immune to nexuses. 2.3 Right to Recall in modern US The Recall procedures’ drafts in US vary from state to state, district to district. E.g. citizens in about 20 states have procedures by which citizens can recall Governors. And many states have right to recall District as well as High Court judges. Many states did not have right to recall Governors, judges etc when their Constitution were drafted in the beginning. But later, the citizens added recall procedures for Governors, judges etc. And many states have referendum procedures. And so even the states in USA where recall procedures don’t exist today, the officials know that if they misbehave, the citizens are very much capable of creating recall procedures via referendum procedures and expelling them, just like citizens did in many other States. IOW, the threat of recall is over every State/District official, even where recall procedures don’t yet exist. You may be interested in knowing about some real recall examples. As an example, I will post the news from a US newspaper namely Palo Alto Daily of 4-May-2007. The reader may want to check the link : http://www.paloaltodailynews.com/article/2007-5-4-05-04-07-smcsherriffrecall for the entire article Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 21 Recall effort against Sheriff Munks begins A San Carlos resident is organizing an effort to recall San Mateo County's top law enforcement officer. Michael Stogner said Thursday he plans to file a notice of intent by Monday to recall Sheriff Greg Munks, who was caught ... [in an alleged wrongful act] .. in Las Vegas on April 19. Munks said in a statement April 24 he thought he was visiting a legitimate business and didn't break any laws, but he has declined to answer any questions ... Though Stogner believes there is wide public support for ousting the sheriff, recalling any San Mateo County official is a tall order. Elections office spokesman David Tom said 10 percent of registered voters in the county must sign a petition to get a recall effort on the ballot. That works out to about 35,000 people. .... Sheriff means District Police Chief in US. Not all, but some 70% to 80% of the District Police Chiefs in US are elected directly by the commons and the rest are appointed. Be appointed or elected, the citizens in US have formal or informal procedures to expel these police chiefs. The commons in many districts also have procedures to recall Mayors, District Govt Lawyer, District Education Officer etc. And can citizens in US recall judges? Well, many States have Right to Recall judges as well. There are many examples of cases wherein citizens tried to recall a judge at http://www.judgerecall.com/. And please see following URL from Berkeley University’s website. http://igs.berkeley.edu/library/htRecall2003.html to get an idea of Recall procedure in California. The Recall Mechanism for officers, judges in California The first step in a recall effort is the circulation of recall petitions. The process begins with the filing of a notice-of-intent-to-recall petition written in the proper legal language and signed by 65 voters. Once that is accomplished, the recall petition can be circulated in earnest. Petitions for the recall of statewide officers must be signed by voters equal in number to 12% of the last vote for that office, including voters from each of five counties equal in number to 1% of the last vote for the office in that county. Petitions for the recall of state legislators must equal in number to 20% of the last vote for the office. The recall ballot has two components: a yes or no vote for recall, and the names of replacement candidates, selected by the nomination process used in regular elections. …. The recall mechanism for statewide officers and legislators in California first appeared as a constitutional amendment in 1911, one of several reform measures put in place by the Progressive administration of Governor Hiram Johnson. The most controversial provision of the amendment was the inclusion of judges, and the justices of the state Supreme Court in particular, among the state officers subject to recall. Proponents favored the amendment as another mechanism to fight graft and corruption in government. Opponents criticized it as a device that extremists and malcontents would employ to harass and remove honest officials. Recalls have often been attempted in California against statewide elected officials and legislators. All governors in the last 30 years have faced some level of recall attempt. In 2003 Governor Gray Davis became the first statewide official to face a recall election. Recall efforts against state legislators Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 22 have reached the voting stage, and four were actually recalled. Senator Marshall Black (R-Santa Clara County) was recalled in 1913, followed by Senator Edwin Grant (D-San Franisco) in 1914, and by Assembly members Paul Horcher (R-Los Angeles County) and Doris Allen (R-Orange County) in 1995. There have been many successful recall attempts at the local government level in California. For general historical background on the recall in California see: Bird, Fredrick L., and Ryan, Frances M. The Recall of Public Officers: a Study of the Operation of the Recall in California. New York: Macmillan, 1930. ; Nolan, Martin F. "The Angry Governor [Hiram Johnson]," California Journal, v. 34, no. 9 (Sept. 2003), p. 12-18. ; Spivak, Joshua. Why Did California Adopt the Recall? History News Network, Sept. 15, 2003. ; "The Recall Amendment," Transactions of the Commonwealth Club of California, v. 6, no. 3 (July 1911), p. 153-225. (Please read whole article at http://igs.berkeley.edu/library/htRecall2003.html ) Someone in India who has only read textbooks written by the Textbook Mafia may find it impossible to believe that there is a country right on this very planet where citizens can even expel even High Court judges via majority vote !! How could these commons do so? How dare they ---as judges are above the Gods !! At least that’s what intellectuals with 4 digit IQ, who are also Nayaya-Murti-Pujak, in India have always upheld. Now will illiteracy play havoc if recall laws comes? These recall procedures have been in US since 1800 AD, when literacy was below 10%. So the argument that “recall is not good for India as most Indians are illiterate” is wrong. The threat of recall is the ONLY reason why district police chiefs, judges etc in US are far less corrupt than police chiefs, judges etc in India. Please note – there is no other reason. And I repeat once more – there is no other reason. And of all false reasons, the “political culture” reason is the biggest nonsense. “Lack of awareness” reason is another big nonsense. So answering the question “why policemen in US are less corrupt than in India”, in the words of Atharvaved and Maharshi Dayanandji, the reason is that the Police Chief in US is Prajaa-Aadheen while in the one in India is not Prajaa-aadheen at all. And Atharvaved and Maharshi Dayanand Saraswatijee say that if the Raajaa (or Raaj Karmachaari such as Police Chief) is not Prajaa-aadheen, he will rob the citizens. We see that all the time in today’s India. And not just District Police Chief of US, Governor, MLA, District judge, District Education Officer, District Public Prosecutor, and in some states in US, even High Court Chief judge are all Prajaa-aadheen. And so these Govt employee’s robbery is less in US. And in same US, Senators are not Prajaa-aadheen, and they are all corrupt. Federal officers appointed President are not Prajaa-aadheen, and so they are all corrupt. So what Atharvaved says applies in US without exception. And in India, no one from Patwari to Supreme Court Chief judge is Prajaa-aadheen. And no wonder, they are almost all corrupt. And the recall threat is so effective that citizens have to use it rarely -less than 0.05% of officers in US ever face recall. The recall procedures ensure that officials behave well and so there is rarely a need for recall. The procedure of recall has ensured that officers seldom go even 1% as corrupt as officers in India and work with expected efficiency. In fact, recall procedure increases re-election rate as officials behave well and so citizens seldom see need to replace him in next election. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 23 The citizens of US have been having these recall procedures since 1800s. But India’s eminent intellectuals insist that citizens of India MUST not have these recall procedures even in 2010 as we Indians are inferior to Americans and we Indians have inferior political cultural, moral value, manasikta etc !! Well, my response to these eminent intellectuals is – “hell with your 4-digit IQ and hell with all your gyaan”. I believe that recall is must and it is the only way to reduce corruption and nepotism in Indian judocracy, polity, administration. And so I ask citizens of India to force PM to issue Govt Notifications that would enable us citizens to replace PM, Supreme Court judges, CMs, High Court judges, Ministers, District Police chiefs, RBI Governor and about 200 such positions. Most MPs of every party and almost all eminent intellectual has opposed my proposed recall procedures. And that has only encouraged me further. Now the question is – how can we citizens enact Right to Recall in India? For this, I have proposed RTI2 law-draft, which I discussed in the chap-1. 2.4 A short history of Right to Recall in India Right to Recall is mentioned in Atharvaved. Atharvaved says that Sabha , assembly of all citizens, can expel the King. Maharshi Dayanand Saraswatijee in chap-6 of Satyarth Prakash explain Raj-Dharma And in one of first 5 sholkas, Maharshi say – Raajaa must be Prajaaaaddhee i.e. dependent on us commons. Please note – he uses the word “aadheen” i.e. completely dependent. And in the next shloka, Maharshi Dayanand say that if Raajaa is not Prajaa-aadheen, then such a Raajaa would rob the citizens just as a carnivorous animal eat other animals And thus such a Raajaa (who is not Prajaa-aadheen) would destroy the nation. And Maharshi Saraswatijee has taken both shlokas from Atharvved written ages ago. And the word Raajaa here includes all Raaj-Karmachaaries i.e. employees of Govt from Supreme Court Chief judge to Patwari. All employees of Govt must be Prajaa-aadheen, or they will rob the citizens. So say the sages who wrote Atharvaved and Maharshi Dayanand Saraswatijee agree with those sages. So Right to Recall is at very heart of Indian Vedas, and thus all streams Indic Sects and Religions, which derive root beliefs from Vedas. And please note – Dayanand Saraswatijee does not speak about BandhaaraNa-aadheen Raajaa, he talks about Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa. In India, the intellectuals with 4 digit IQ have insisted opposite of what Atharvaved and Satyarth Prakash suggest. The intellectuals with 4 digit IQ say that Raajaa and Raaj-Karmachaari i.e. Govt employees should not be Prajaa-aadheen at all but should be only be BandhaaraNa-aadheen i.e. dependent on book such as Constitution only. This whole concept of BandhaaraNa-Aadheen Raajaa i.e. BandharaNa-aadheen Ministers, BandharaNa-aadheen officers, BandharaNa-aadheen policemen and BandharaNa-aadheen judges is humbug as so called BandharaNa’s interpretation can be twisted by judges, Ministers etc like a piece of wax. This concept of BandharaNa-aadheen Ministers\judges is Demonistic (Rakshashi) thought meant to create an illusion only. 2.5 A short history of Right to Recall in World over The Right to Recall was used in Greece in 500 BC. Almost all cities in Greece had procedures by which citizens can assemble, and expel the King. Even the mighty Alexander of Macedonia, who defeated all kings between Greece and Sindhu, was expellable by his citizens !! There is no known record that procedure was ever used to expel a king ---which is because Right Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 24 to Recall creates a threat that makes a King behave well, and there is seldom a need to expel him. Now the Greek nations like every country also faced another issue – what if one officer of the King misbehaves, not the King himself? Calling Assembly of all thousands of citizens for every small case of abuse of power by an officer is too time consuming and expensive. And if senior officers and Kings are given sole control over junior officers, then all the officers will only serve the seniors and Kings and not the citizens. So a very ingenious way to control officers was drafted by the ancient Greeks. Every time an official was accused of crime, 50 citizens were chosen at random to decide if the officer should be expelled/punished. And these 50 randomly chosen citizens were (rightly) assumed as best possible and least nexusprone representation the will of all citizens of the nation. And if the officer was senior, 100 citizens would chosen at random to decide the case. And if he was more senior then 200, 300, 400 or 500 citizens would be called. The size of largest Jury was 500 citizens, above which came Assembly of all citizens. This procedure gave birth to the Jury System in West, a system never recorded in ancient China or India etc. To a considerable, extent, “Right to Expel official via Jury Trial” is close to Right to Recall by explicit majority vote. Later, Jury System was extended to trials over the common citizens as well. The Greeks (rightly) believed that Trial by Jury is less prone to corruption and nexuses than Trial by kings or Trial by appointed judges, and so important trials in Greece were always decided by Juries. E.g. the execution of Socrates was decided by a Jury of 500 Athens citizens. The Jurors were convinced that Socrates’ teachings were responsible for his pupils’ (such as Critias) actions of overthrowing Democracy in Athens and killing many Athenians. And the fact that Socrates never criticized his pupils’ actions of overthrowing Democracy and killing many pro-Democracy Athenians had only made Athenian more angry against Socrates. Further, Athens had a belief that if a citizen does not serve Military to protect Athens, then Gods will punish him in hell. Socrates was trying to convince the youth that these beliefs were nonsense, and so many Athenian got convinced that Socrates is saying so to weaken the Military of Athens. Socrates was at first asked to leave Athens, but when Socrates refused to leave Athens, he was tried by a Jury of 500 Athenians. About 340 voted for death penalty for Socrates and 160 voted for severe fine but not death. After trial too, Socrates was given option to leave Athens, but Socrates chose not to. Aging and fragile Socrates perhaps saw more fame and glory in execution than natural death that would have anyway come in few years to him. And so the verdict of 500 Jurors was carried out. All in all, important decision in Athens and many Greek Nations were made by citizens directly and not by appointed judges. In Romans, Assembly of Plebeians had all powers – and was more powerful that Senate. In theory, the Assembly of Plebeians had right to enact laws, and even expel Emperor. But since the procedure code was that “all Plebeians must come to one place”, the physical impossibility made the “Assembly of Plebeians” a useless entity. When population is large, “all citizens come to one place” is not a viable option and one must adopt a system where there is one booth for each small area. But the Romans could not think of booth system or the Roman elitemen did not allow booth system and so the “Assembly of Plebeians” became logistically unviable concept. The Romans did practice Jury System in high places, and cases involving commons were decided Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 25 by judges. But the Romans had elected judges, which reduced injustices. All in all, Rome had no Right to Recall, but election of judges provided a very limited Right to Recall. The Right to Recall and Jury System both practically disappeared in so called Dark Ages. In around 700 AD, due to Islamic invasions, the Priests and Kings or Europe had no option but to arm commons in large number. And so citizens gained more and more weapons. Weaponization of us Commons is the mother of Democracy. Weaponization of commons makes commons so strong that in 950 AD, the citizens of UK could force Kings to introduce Jury System, in form of Coroner’s Jury where in 12 citizens chosen at random can expel a policemen accused of killing a citizen. Later Coroner’s Jury became so popular, that citizens got convinced that Trial by Jury is less nexusprone than Trial by judges. The demand for Jury Trial and abolition or reduction of judge trials grew and in around 1100 AD, the citizens forced the King of England to sign Magna Carta where-in king was forced to make a promise that he and his officers will not punish citizens without approval Jury, and Jury got powers to expel/fine officials. So by 1200 AD, UK had “Right to Recall via Jury System” over junior officials. US was first country to practice Right to Recall in full blown way. The first Police Commissioner’s (Sheriff’s) office installed in Massachusetts had Right to Recall, but was very informally stated. One major reason why Americans overthrew British in 1770s was because the British Kings did not want Jury System and Right to Recall in the American Colonies. After independence in 1770s, the States and Districts started writing formal laws. Many States introduced Right to Recall Police Chiefs, local judges and Governors. But Right to Recall was not put at Federal level. Why? Back then, the so called Federal Govt (Central Govt) of US was to administer only the Military and inter-state relations, and so the founding fathers of US never thought that the US President, Senators and Federal judges will ever have so much powers. So none thought of Right to Recall over President, Senators, Federal judges and Federal officers. Which is why all these Federal offices in US are full of corruption, but in same in US, recallable officials like Police Chief, Governor, local judges etc are least corrupt. So it is not culture or political culture or national character -it is presence or absence of right to recall which decides how corrupt the officer would be. Karl Marx and Engels supported Right to Recall. Here is the quote by Friedrich Engels’s (1991) Introduction to Karl Marx, The Civil War in France (1871) from http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1871/civil-war-france/postscript.htm From the very outset the Commune was compelled to recognize that the working class, once come to power, could not go on managing with the old state machine; that in order not to lose again its only just conquered supremacy, this working class must, on the one hand, do away with all the old repressive machinery previously used against it itself, and, on the other, safeguard itself against its own deputies and officials, by declaring them all, without exception, subject to recall at any moment. What had been the characteristic attribute of the former state? Society had created its own organs to look after its common interests, originally through simple division of labor. But these organs, at whose head was the state power, had in the course of time, in pursuance of their own special interests, transformed themselves from the servants of society into the masters of Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 26 society. This can be seen, for example, not only in the hereditary monarchy, but equally so in the democratic republic. …. Lenin and Joseph Stalin also supported Right to Recall. Joseph Stalin in 1937 made fun of British, European and American Democracies by citing that there were no recall procedures in Europe. And Stalin claimed that Soviet Democracy was superior as Soviet Democracy had recall procedures at the local Deputy level. Stalin said in 1937 : Further, comrades, I would like to give you some advice, the advice of a candidate to his electors. If you take capitalist countries you will find that peculiar, I would say, rather strange relations exist there between deputies and voters. As long as the elections are in progress, the deputies flirt with the electors, fawn on them, swear fidelity and make heaps of promises of every kind. It looks as though the deputies are completely dependent on the electors. As soon as the elections are over, and the candidates have become deputies, relations undergo a radical change. Instead of the deputies being dependent on the electors, they become entirely independent. For four or five years, that is, until the next elections, the deputy feels quite free, independent of the people, of his electors. He may pass from one camp to another, he may turn from the right road to the wrong, he may even become entangled in machinations of a not altogether savoury character, he may turn as many somersaults as he likes --he is independent. Can such relations be regarded as normal? By no means, comrades. This circumstance was taken into consideration by our Constitution and it made it a law that electors have the right to recall their deputies before the expiration of their term of office if they begin to play tricks, if they turn off the road, or if they forget that they are dependent on the people, on the electors. I am great admirer of Stalin, as he created a massive Military which protected Russia from Hitler in 1940s and later from George Bush and Tony Brown in 2000 AD. But Stalin’s right to recall procedures were total joke ---any citizen who would have demanded recall was likely to imprisoned or even executed. So while Stalin supported right to recall in theory, in practice he had opposed it. Also, he was wrong in reporting that West doesn’t have RTR. US has been having RTR since 1800s. (Aside : I will re-state that I am an admirer of Stalin as he created a Military, weapon manufacturing factories and nuclear weapons which saved Russia. Stalin’s Military strengthening methods are the only reasons why USUK still haven’t dared to do convert Russia into an Iraq.) 2.6 RTR in modern India In India, M. N Roy in 1946 in his book “The Draft Constitution of India” supported Right to Recall. The two main Communist Parties of India, CPI and CPM have been demanding recall rights since 1950s in their speeches. And there are over 960 registered parties in India, and perhaps over 300 of them support right to recall. Jayprakash Narayan demanded right to recall since 1950s and intensified his demand in early 1970s. Janata Party’s manifesto in 1977, on which leaders such as Moraraji Desai, Atal Bihari Vajpai and Lal Krishna Advani etc contested elections, had right to recall as one of the main demands. BJP leaders have supported “right to Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 27 recall” numerous times. And their inactions are appalling. E.g. in 1977, after winning Parliamentary elections by landslide, if JP had asked 500,000 youth to surround Parliament and not let MPs walk out till they enact the recall laws, India would have got recall laws in 3 days. But JP never ever gave such a call to the youth. Even in 2004 when CPI/CPM had 60 MPs, they did not demand a vote on their right to recall drafts. And each one of the Indian MPs and candidates (except myself) never ever gave the DRAFT of right to recall. There were over 5000 candidates in Parliamentary election in May-2009. Many such as Laloo Yadav said that they supported Right to Recall. But I was the only candidate who gave DRAFT of the Right to Recall laws I had supported. CPI\CPM MPs have always refused to provide the DRAFTS of recall procedures they support. Jay Prakash Narayan never gave drafts for 25 years and always stalled the discussion on drafts. The followers of JPN such as Laloo Yadav, Mulayam Yadav etc claim they support RTR but refuse to give drafts of the laws they claim they support. Somnath Chaterjee has been MP for 25 years and has been supporting RTR for 25 years but never inwarded draft of RTR law he supports. IMO, each of these draft-less leaders are liars, fake, fraud and phonies. By 1990, newspaper columnists, textbook mafia and media-owners ensured that there is no information on RTR at all in newspapers and textbooks. Today, few young men know what “Right to Recall” means and even MA Political Science don’t know that citizens in US have RTR Police Chief and RTR judges. Even the supporters of Jayprakash Narayan practically started ignoring RTR after 1980. In India, Right to Recall was intensely hated by the wealthy individuals. Now intellectuals are mostly agents of wealthy individuals and so all the intellectuals too also oppose Right to Recall PM, CMs, judges etc. So much so, that intellectuals of India have refused to even write these pieces of information in their columns and textbooks that “citizens of US have procedures to expel District Police Chiefs and judges”, lest such information will make readers and students think about Right to Recall. Most of the MPs, MLAs Ministers, retired judges etc I came across have opposed Right to Recall. And most damage was done by none other than Jayprakash Narayan, who posed himself as supporter of RTR, but refused to propose draft for RTR when his own men of Janata Party were in power in 1977. When I started campaigning for RTR law drafts in 13-Jul-1999 in India, I found that almost none in youth had any information of RTR. It was mainly due to my 8-10 newspaper advertisements, distribution of about 100,000 pamphlets, sending over 100000 emails and over 10000 posts in internet communities, that by 13-Jul-2010 about 50000 to 100000 people in India came to know what “Right to Recall PM, CMs, judges etc” is. RTR And many of these 50000 to 100000 started spreading the news further. And I was the first and only election candidate in the history of 60 years of India who has proposed the DRAFT of the recall laws I am demanding and promising. I request citizens to demand the draft of recall laws from the leaders who claim that they support recall. Their evading this request will prove that they do not support RTR in reality and they are just hypocrites. All in all, in contemporary India, i.e. year 2010, I am one of the very few politicians spreading information on RTR. Soon, if my methods are right, every new coming politician will be forced to support RTR. And that will ensure that RTR will come in India.

Well, in chap-10, I have provided draft of Govt Notification using which citizens can replace Supreme Court Chief judge. Till date, no intellectual has found time to read the draft and tell me which clause of the GN I proposed violates Constitution !! Or may be, they did read the drafts I have put on my website as well as personally mailed or given to them, but could not find anything unconstitutional, and so they are claiming that they have NOT read the drafts at all. In any case, we the people wrote the Constitution, and so we the people shall decide what is Constitutional and what is not. So the decision on Constitutionality of the drafts I have proposed has to be taken by Citizens of India, not the SCjs of India 2.8 Did RTR in modern US come from Atharvaved? Did RTR came in modern US from Atharvaved? Well, many democratic and RTR related political thoughts in US and Europe came after British landed in India and got access to Sanskrit texts. And these thoughts escalated after 1757 AD when Robert Clive defeated Siraj-ud-Daula, bought or confiscated 10000s of ancient Sanskrit books from libraries in Kolkata and various parts of India, and shipped them to UK. Many books went to US from UK in around 1758-60. And RTR appears in US in early 1760s. Now I have no proofs that political thinkers of US derived RTR idea from the Sanskrit texts. But the timing is too obvious to ignore. 2.9 My discovering RTR and Atharvaved (Satyarth Prakash) I got chance to read Satyarth Prakash from my Arya Samaajee roommate Sandeep Tyagi in IITD in 1987. The shloka that “Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen” touched my heart and stayed in my mind forever. But as I got busy with courses, exams etc, a few years later, I forgot that I had read this shloka in Satyarth Prakash. Then in 1990 I landed in US, and I saw that policemen, junior officers etc here are practically non-corrupt. I started searching for reasons. Back then, there was no WWW even in US, and search for reasons involved 100s of visits to libraries, attending town meetings etc. Some 7 years later, in 1997, I came across the fact that citizens in US have procedures to expel District Police Chief, and the “Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen” flashed in my mind and immediately helped me in understanding why corruption is low in US police. But in 1997, I could not remember the book from which I had read this sentence !! In 2009, I joined Param Pujya Baba Ramdevji’s Bharat Swabhiman Trust and showed RTR drafts to BST members. Many BST members said that RTR matches the views in Satyarth Prakash. So in 2010, I read Satyarth Prakash again and I remembered that I had read the same book in 1987, which had led me towards RTR concept. So yes, to a considerable extent, the sentence “Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen” from Satyarth Prakash chap-6 first page led me towards understanding as well as deriving Right to Recall procedure draft. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 29 3 More on RTI2 3.1 Later additions to RTI2 to make it secure Later on, following features will get added to this proposal. These features are to reduce “bogus voting” and also to counter the argument that “there will be bogus voting and so this procedure must never ever exist” 1. The citizen’s finger print will be in computer so that computer can verify the voter using finger-print identification. 2. A camera will be connected to Patwari’s computer so that it will scan the picture of the citizen and finger print and store it as well as put it on the receipt of his Yes-No. This way a person is registering too many Yes-No, it would become possible to track and arrest him. 3. The citizen will be given a passbook that will have list of all Yes-No he has registered. So if anyone has registered Yes-No by impostering him, he will come to know about it 4. Every citizen will get a statement every month showing list of Yes-No he registered in past six months. So if any imposter has registered Yes/No, he will come to know about it 5. If the citizen wishes, he can register his mobile phone number and he will get SMS when he registers Yes-No. So if anyone has registered Yes-No by impostering him, he will come to know about it immediately. 6. If the citizen wishes, he can register his email address and he will get email when he registers Yes-/No. So if anyone has registered Yes-No by impostering him, he will come to know about it immediately. This will make Yes-No registration more secure than banking. With these safe-guards, bogus voter will be caught by 5th or 6th try and this will reduce the number of bogus filers. Now “1% of Yes-No may be bogus and so all 72 cr voters must not be allowed to register Yes-No” is a frivolous argument. 3.2 Will citizens be filing Yes-No 1000s of times? The RTI2 GN does not require or even expect citizens to register Yes-No on every affidavit or every proposed law? Nor does it mean that MPs , MLAs cannot make any more laws ---they may as they do now. The RTI2-GN only means that if a citizen wants to register Yes/No on some of the laws on Govt website , Govt shall not block him and Govt shall register his Yes-No on the Govt website. Now out of 1000s of laws we have, not all will register Yes-No on all laws. But x% may register Yes-No on some 100-200 laws, and x% may be very high for laws such as DVA, 498A etc. This x% YESes or NOs can create a powerful movement for/against that law. The RTI2-GN simply creates an additional option. The citizens may depend on MLAs, MPs for most laws and demand to cancel the laws. But there are times when MPs, MLAs refuse to listen. eg Majority of citizens want 498A and DVA to be canceled, but MPs, MLAs insist on this law as this law fetches huge bribes to policemen (and MLAs, MPs get part of these bribes via the IPS). Likewise, almost all commons I met agree that interviews during recruitments of judges, professors, policemen, students (in IIMs etc) should be banned but all MPs, MLAs and Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 30 intellectuals insist on laws that promote interviews. They support interviews because it enables them to collect bribes, put their relatives and filter out meritorious but “ideologically inconvenient” people. These are the times when if citizens have procedure to register YES/NO on laws, they may be able to use it. 3.3 Why do eminent intellectuals oppose this RTI2 GN I demand? This GN I demand does not require allocation of hundreds of crores of rupees, does not require allocation of 1000s of staff, does not require 1000s of buildings or roads. And as per our Constitution as interpreted by the Citizens, CM does not need approval of MLAs to enact this change. Yet all parties’ MPs and all eminent intellectuals are hostile to this proposed Govt Notification. All parties’ leaders have hated this proposal and their CMs and PM have sworn not to sign this GN we demand. All eminent intellectuals of India have opposed this proposal and have asked CMs and PM not sign this RTI2 GN. Why? The process of change happens when crores of citizens want change and becomes unstoppable when each of these crores of citizens know that crores of citizens are with him. Let me repeat this sentence, as the sentence covers theme of all major changes that citizens brought in past 3000 years. The process of change happens when crores of citizens have agreed, and crores of citizens know that crores of citizens have agreed. The “crores of citizens knowing what crores of citizens want” is the “Zero of Political Arithmetic”. The intellectuals and mediamen always try to convince each of the common that he is all alone and rest of the crores of commons are unaware and sleeping. RTI2 not only enables citizen to file YES/NO on a proposed change, but if crores of citizens have agreed for a change, then all crores of citizens come to know that crores of citizens do want this change. It does not allow media-owners to create an image that “people don’t care”. RTI2 reduces the power of media-owners in twisting images on priorities of the crores of citizens. I at RRG pledge to campaign for any Party for 5 years for free and spend Rs 10,00,000 of my own post-tax heard earned money if for campaign of the PM or CM who signs RTI2 law. I want this RTI2 GN ---winning election is not my goal. And I do not want citizens to take pain to vote for us ---I only want citizens to take pain to ask PM, CMs to sign this GN. I would ask citizens to vote for an RRG candidate if and only if they want RTI2 and they are convinced that other Group’s CMs, PM will not sign this RTI2-GN. RTI2 is central to our RRG’s political movement to improve the Indian administration. And our RRG-claim is : within 4 months after citizens manage to force PM to sign RTI2, poverty will reduce and corruption in India’s police, courts and education will become near zero ; and within 10 years after citizens force PM to sign RTI2, India will be at par with West in terms of technology, economy and military. I would repeat my claim in a box : My RTI2 claim : within 4 months after citizens manage to force PM to sign RTI2, poverty will reduce, poverty deaths will become negligible and corruption in India’s police, courts and education will become near zero ; and within 10 years after citizens have forced PM to sign RTI2, India will be at par with West in terms of technology, economy and Military.

One valid question I get from many upper caste youth is : wont RTI2 result into increase in reservation? Wont SC, ST and OBCs demand more reservation using this GN? The answer is : NO. In fact, it will reduce the reservation, as the poor Dalits, the poor STs and the poor OBCs will support the law “Economic Choice vs. Reservation” that I have proposed in the chapter “RRG stand on Reservation issue”. As per the law, any Dalit, ST, OBC will have option to get Rs 600/year instead of reservation. So if say 80% SC, ST and OBC opt for economic choice, then total reservation will decrease from 50% to 10%. The law proposed in that chapter will get support from over 80% of Dalits, STs and OBCs who are poor and cant even reach class-12. And this will reduce total caste based reservation. So if one is worried that RTI2 will increase the reservation, he is mistaken. Thus, RTI2 will lead to “Economic Choice vs. Reservation” which will reduce reservation. 3.6 Why do I demand a tiny change like RTI2 as first step? My eventual goals are giving mine royalties to citizens, giving procedure to replace SCjs to citizens and so forth. But my first demand is tiny ---letting us commons register YES/NO and that too the YES/NO counts have no legal weight. So while there are other administrative changes in our agenda, the first change I propose is tiny. Why do I ask citizens to ask for such a tiny change ? Because if we citizens ask for a large change, we would end up giving years of time to CMs, PM and intellectuals. If the commons ask for large change, like employment or complete eradication of poverty or so forth, then that would automatically give the neta an excuse to ask for months and years of time. In this long years, CMs, intellectuals would do nothing and we would lose that long time. Also, when a leader denies a small change, it is easy for activists to mobilize movement against him. By asking leaders not for a big change, but for small change, and when the leader/intellectuals refuse to implement that small change, it would become Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 32 possible for commons and pro-commons to convince the selfless activists that leaders, elitemen and intellectuals are corrupt. 3.7 And finally : wont the rich be able to buy out citizens? One question I often face is : wont the rich be able to buy out the citizens? Consider an example. Say I propose an GN – Abolish SEZ Act 2005. Say there are 72 cr voters in India. So for the proposed GN to succeed, it would need YES from about 37 cr citizen-voters. Obviously, pro-SEZ elitemen might decide to spend 100s of crores of rupees to ensure that the proposal does not get 37 cr YESes. Will their money help? 1. Now if proposal fails to reach the ears of 38 cr citizens, it failed but NOT because of money of pro-SEZ elitemen. 2. If the proposal reached 10s of crores of voters and the refused to register YES, then the failure was not due to money of pro-SEZ elitemen. 3. Say some proposal did reach ears of 50 cr to 70 cr voters. Say some 45 cr voters decided to register YES i.e. cancel SEZ Act 2005. 4. Now will it be possible for pro-SEZ elitemen to pay say Rs 50 or Rs 1000 or anything so that some 4 cr voters do not register YES? Lets say that pro-SEZ elitemen see that some 40 cr citizens are likely to register YES on “abolish SEZ” proposal. Say elitemen decide to bribe out say 5 crore voters and ask them not to register YES. Say they offer Rs 100 per voter. If the do, every citizen would demand Rs 100 and so elitemen will have to give Rs 100 to all 75 cr citizens and so they will end up spending Rs 7200 cr. But will that be end of the story? No. Say elitemen pay Rs 7200 cr and manage to stop commons from registering YES on the proposal. Then all I need to do is to ask one of my friends to submit same “abolish SEZ Act 2005” proposal with a few words different,. Now thats a different proposal. So voters will ask elitemen again to cough up Rs 100 or they would threaten to register YES on this new proposal. After all, it is a different proposal – the money paid for the previous proposal in past doesn’t count. So elitemen will have to cough up another Rs 7200 cr again. If that also happens, I can again ask my another friend to submit a third proposal with few words different. Now either citizens will register YES on that third proposal or demand another Rs 100 from pro-SEZ elitemen. Within months, elitemen would run out their all their generations of savings and assets. All wealth of elitemen in India add to no more than Rs 100,00,000 crores. If they decide to stall a pro-common anti-elitemen proposal using Rs 100 per voter, the cost would be Rs 7200 cr per such proposal. And by filing 2000 such proposals within 6 months, which would cost me and my friend only Rs 20000/-all the money of elitemen would evaporate within 6-12 months. And the elitemen are rational ---they would not waste their money like this and attain nothing. IOW, RTI2 will ensure that bribe given to citizen is burning away money and results into no gains. So making claims that RTI2 is something that elitemen can buy away only shows that person is hopelessly unaware of real life calculation. RTI2 is immune to money power as it gives option to citizens to file same proposal again and again and again and thus collect money again and again and again. This is simply unviable. Review questions 1. How much is the fee proposed by MRCM Group for registration of YES/NO?

Lets PM signs first GN we demand. Say out of 65cr registered voters, say 40 cr voters register NO on IPC 498A. Will the law automatically get canceled as per first GN? 5. Suppose 35 cr citizens register NO on a law. What is the monetary expense incurred by them? 6. Under GN we demand, will a citizen be able to register YES/NO on PILs filed and register YES/NO on Constitutional validity of SCjs’ judgments? 7. Say on an average, a citizen registers YES/NO on 100 laws he likes/dislikes. What is the % of GPD used away? Approximately, how many clerks will be required to meet this load 8. Say a proposed GN is approved by say 51% of citizens. Is it legally must that PM has to sign this GO? 9. Suppose a citizen submits a proposed GN of 15 pages. What will be the registration charge? 10. Support 40 cr approve a GN. What would be cost incurred? Exercises 1. Please translate this chapter into your native language 2. Please gather information on level of education in people in Switzerland, US etc when they started using referendum society. 3. How many persons were imprisoned under section 498A in past 5 years?

Then we request all citizens, who support this law, to vote for any of candidates which supports RTI2. And we also request citizens to start all form of protests to harass the leaders. And if a citizen believes that leaders do not respond to citizens’ calls, then he his free to pick the ways he likes.

What is MRCM-draft? The draft describes an administrative procdure which will enbale National Level Officer to send Now how many crore citizens do you think do not want 100% ethical about Rs 300 (may be less or much more) a month? I believe that over 40 cr citizens want 100% ethical money, and so RTI2 will ensure that PM is forced to sign the MRCM draft. And once MRCM draft is signed, we commons will get about Rs 300 (may be less or more) or so per month person, and thus poverty will reduce. Is RTI2-draft must to get MRCM-draft passed? If pro-MRCM activists insist on waiting till they get majority in Parliament and then enacting MRCM-draft, then there is possibility that MRCM-activists be waiting for ever. First they may never get majority in Parliament. And worse, even if they get majority, there is possibility that their own MPs will sell out and refuse to pass MRCM-draft. E.g. in 1977, Janata Party MPs had promised to enact Right to Recall laws before election, and after getting elected, later they refused to pass Right to Recall laws. So IMO, MRCM-activists should focus on creating mass movement on RTI2-draft, and use RTI2-draft to get MRCM-draft passed than rather than wait for election victory. 5.2 MRCM draft in short The land rent over IIMA plot, JNU plot, all UGC plots, Ahmedabad airport plot, all airports plots and 10000s of such GoI plots and royalties from all minerals, coals and crude oil of India must go we the Citizens of India and our Military and no one else. And royalty, rent must come directly, not via any schemes.. eg say rents from GoI plots and mineral royalties in Dec-2008 was Rs 45,000 crores. Then as per the law we proposed, Rs 15000 crores will go to the Military and about Rs 300 will go to each citizen in his post office or bank account. If every citizen withdraws cash once or twice a month, this would need no more than 150,000 clerks all over India. Existing nationalized banks have over 600,000 clerks. So the distribution of cash is feasible. The direct cash distribution MRCM draft would create may translate into an income of over Rs 8000 per person per year or lowering of land/house prices. Per person, not just per family. And thus MRCM draft will reduce poverty, increase income and thus increase demands for goods. The increase in demand for goods will increase local industries and thus increase employment. The increase in local industries will improve engineering skills and this will improve weapon manufacturing So less poor Hindus will turn towards Christianity or Naxalism or both. And one year after this law passes, if 3rd child is born, then both the parents will get 33% less rent (those who already have 3rd child won't be effected). So this law will also control population..

One of the clauses of the draft of MRCM GN says : “the PM shall appoint a NLRO (National Land Rent Officer), whom the citizens of India may replace using the following procedure ... ” . The replacement procedure is as follows ° Any citizen can pay deposit equal to MP election and register himself NLRO candidate. ° Any citizen of India can walk to Talati’s office, pay Rs 3 of fee and approve at most five persons for the NLRO position. The Talati will issue receipt with his voter-id#, persons he approved etc. ° The Talati will put citizen’s preferences on Govt website with his voter-ID. ° A citizen can cancel his approvals any day as well.. ° The PM’s secretary will publish the approval counts of each candidate ° If a candidate gets approval of over 50% of all registered voters (all registered voters, not just those who have filed their approval) then PM will expel existing NLRO and appoint that candidate as NLRO. ° If any person has over 50% approvals and has 2% more approvals than existing NLRO, then the PM will appoint the person with highest approvals for that position. 2. So the Right to Recall over NLRO will ensure that NLRO will be much less corrupt and will deliver the rent money to citizens. 3. The NLRO will allocate plots which has been declared as property of the Citizens of India by a law or a National Jury verdict that specifically authorizes the NLRO allocate that land. Collection of rent 4. One of the clauses of MRCM-GN says : “The Citizens of India hereby decide and declare that the plot of IIMA, plot of Gujarat Vidyapeeth Ahmedabad, plots of all IIMs and the plot of JNU is the property jointly and equally owned by the Citizens of India. These plots are NOT property of the State or the State of India or the Union of India or any other private/GoI entity, but these plots are property of the Citizens of India. Further, all the plots of all UGC funded universities and colleges not owned by private companies or trusts are declared as the property of the citizens of India. And all plots under Central Govt and Govt entities are also hereby declared as the property of the Citizens of India.. 5. Another clause says : all plots under following Ministries/Dept will also come under NLRO : o Ministry of Tourism o Airports, all buildings owned by Air India and Indian Airlines o IIMs, all UGC funded colleges and universities except science and engineering o Ministry Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution o Ministry of Information and Broadcasting o Ministry of Information Technology o Ministry of Rural Development o Ministry of Small Scale Industries & Agro and Rural Industries o Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment o Ministry of Textiles o Ministry of Tourism and Culture Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 42 o Ministry of Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation o Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports o Planning Commission 6. [About IITs, IISc etc : A separate Govt Order we demand says: ---All the IITs, NITs and IISc shall come under DRDO and the DRDO director shall be the Chief Officer of these colleges and shall appoint Deputy Chiefs in these colleges to run the day today operations. The colleges teaching science and engineering will come under Ministry of Science and will not come under NLRO. However, the excess lands which these colleges have will come under NLRO] 7. For the unused land, NLRO will divide the land in plots of appropriate sizes as he seems most profitable rentwise. NLRO will hold auction for each plot. The conditions for auction will be as follows o The lease will be for 5, 10, 15 , 20 or 25 years as decided by NLRO. The lease shall never be more than 25 years o The bidders will give bids for monthly rent and bidding period which can be less than maximum lease period. So bids will be in (monthly rent , months lease) format. One person can submit multiple bids. Minimum lease period will be 12 months. o The weight of the bid will Monthly_Rent /log(Lease_In_Months). i.e. more the rent, higher the weight and longer the lease, lesser the weight. o The bids will be open o The NLRO will give the plot as per weight of the bids. o NLRO will charge 3 months rent as deposit. 8. During the lease time, the NLRO will revise the rent every 3 years based on % change in the land prices in the 1sq km area around that plot and % change in interest rate from the day the plot was leased and the day when rent revision occurs. 9. After the lease time is over, NLRO will hold a fresh auction, where in existing lease holder will get benefits o his weight will get multiplied by 1.25 to 1.5 depending on years he has paid rent. o he may increase his bid within 1 month after auction is over. o the existing lease holder will get 2 to 6 months new rent when he vacates. 10. But if existing lease holder loses the auction, then he can move or sell the fixtures on that land. But he will need to vacate that land. 11. If the plot is currently being used and occupied (eg IIMA plot), NLRO will take the mean land price in past 3 years of sale in 1 km area round the plot and decide the price of plot and set yearly rent as (market_price * prime_interest_rate/3) for next 10 years. The rents will be revised every 3 years. After 10 years, an auction as in clause-6 will be conducted. Dispatching rents 12. The NLRO will give 34% of the rent collected to Defense Minister for the purpose of strengthening Military and providing weapons and weapon-use education to all citizens. 13. The NLRO will distribute 33% of the rent collected every month to the citizens born in that State or residing in the State for past 15 years, with maximum limit of twice the National per capita rent given last year. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 43 14. The NLRO will distribute the rest 33% the rent collected every month to the citizens of India 15. The share will be zero for those below age of 7 years, 1/4th to those below 14 years, half for those below 18 and same afterwards. 16. One year after this law is passed, the rent a person obtains o will increase by 33% if he has no kids o will increase by 33% if he has only 1 daughter o will remain at par if he has (1 son) or (1 daughter, 1 son) or (2 daughters) o will decrease by 33% if he has more than (2 daughters, 1 son) or (1 daughter, 1 son) or (2 sons) or (3 daughters) and in which youngest kid is born 1 year after the law is passed o will decrease by 66% if he has more than (3 daughters, 1 son) or (2 daughters, 2 sons) or (1 daughter, 2 sons) or (3 sons) or (4 daughters) and in which youngest kids is born 1 year after the law is passed 17. The rent paid will be 33% higher for men above 60 and women above 55 ; and will be 66% higher for men above 75 and women above 70. 5.4 Dispatching mineral royalties As of now, the mine plots are auctioned to the one who gives highest royalties. The same procedure will continue but may get modified later to improve the bids. But the one change MRCM Group demands and promises is that mine royalties and crude oil royalties will go to commons and Military directly. 5.5 MRCM draft at State Level All plots under State Govt not used by Police, Courts, Military, Prison, Govt Schools, Govt Hospitals , State Transport bus stations and plots specifically exempted by law shall be up for rent collection. The State Land Allocation Officer shall collect the rents and give 34% to Military, 33% to citizens of India. Whether the land is under State or Center, the rent is divided in the same fashion. 5.6 How much is land rent? The Govt of India, Central and States, have 10000s of plots with huge marker value. Here is a small example Plot Name Area Price per sq meter Plot’s market value IIM Ahmedabad 100 acres Rs 40,000 Rs 1,400 crores IIM Lukhnow 200 acres Rs 20,000 Rs 1,600 crores IIM Lucknow (Noida) 10 acres Rs 50,000 Rs 200 crores IIM Kolkata 135 acres Rs 20,000 Rs 1,000 crores IIM Indore 190 acres Rs 15,000 Rs 500 crores JNU 1000 acres Rs 40,000 Rs 16,000 crores Gujarat Vidyapeeth 25 acres Rs 40,000 Rs 400 crores Gujarat University 250 acres Rs 35,000 Rs 3,500 crores TOTAL Rs 27,000 crores Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 44 So what shall be the rent if these plots are given out to builders? Rent of the nine plots at 3% of market value of plot = Rs 27,000 cr * 3/100 = Rs 810 cr a year = over Rs 7 per citizen per year. Now these plots are no where as valuable as many other prime plots such as Mumbai Airport, Ahmedabad Airport, Bangalore Airport etc. Here are more examples Plot Name Area Price per sq meter Approx market value Ahmedabad Airport 1850 acres Rs 40,000 Rs 29,600 crores Mumbai Airport 1100 acres Rs 100,000 Rs 44,600 crores Delhi Airport 5000 acres Rs 100,000 Rs 200,000 crores Banglr. Airport (new) 4050 acres Rs 10,000 Rs 32,400 crores Banglr. Airport (old) 1000 acres Rs 100,000 Rs 40,000 crores Calcutta Airport 1500 acres Rs 30,000 Rs 18,000 crores Chennai Airport 4800 acres Rs 40,000 Rs 76,800 crores TOTAL Rs 440,800 crores (Please note that above land prices too less compared to real market price as on May-2010, when this second edition was being written) So what shall be the rent if these plots are given out to builders? Rent of these airport plots at 3% of market value of plot = Rs 440,800 cr * 3/100 = Rs 13,224 cr year = Rs 120 per citizen per year !! The Govt has about 50000 plots by one estimate. Even if rent from each plot is as small as 20 paise per person per year on an average, the rent exceeds Rs 12000 per person per year. Either we commons will get this rent or land prices will drastically decrease (latter is what will actually happen) which will enable us commons to buy homes at lesser % of our incomes and start businesses. 5.7 How much is mineral royalties? The mineral royalties estimation is possible, but varies as the selling prices fluctuate. Here is an estimation based on Jun-2008 prices. The estimation uses following method, which are borne from laws I am proposing. As per laws I am proposing, the mines and oil wells will be leased using competitive bidding. So the charge miners would charge will be rock bottom low and will depend on prevailing labor wages in India and cost of equipment. Now in the laws I am proposing the Govt would charge international selling price from the buyers. The difference would be royalty of which 67% will go to citizens directly and 33% would go to the Military. Following is my estimate of crude oil royalty based on Jun-2008 prices Crude oil Oil international price = US$140 per barrel Extraction price in India = below $25 per barrel including all costs. (As on Jun-2008 oil companies charge $55 per barrel and make huge profits which becomes loss due to buying oil at $150 from international market. $25 is price Indian oil companies were charging in early 2000s to Indian refineries. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 45 To that add the fact that Indian oil companies are hugely over staffed and over pay their employees. eg clerk in ONGC gets about Rs 20000 including all perks and expenses while clerk in private gets Rs 8000 or so. This expenses can be decreased). Production in India = 660,000 barrels per day = 660,000 * 365 barrels per year = 24,09,00,000 barrels per year = 24 crore barrels per year Population = 110 cr Per capita Production in India = 0.22 barrels per Indian per year Profit per barrel = US$ 115 Total profit in dollars = 0.22 * 115 = $25 dollars per Indian Dollar price rate = Rs 45 per dollar So profits in rupees = $25 * 45 = Rs 875 per common per year If crude oil prices drop to US$ 70 per barrel, then profits will reduce to about Rs 250 per citizen per year. Iron Ore production = 123 million tonne = 12.3 cr tonne = 0.11 ton per Indian citizen price = 150 dollars per tonne = Rs 7600 per tonne mining cost = Rs 300 per tonne Profit per tonne = Rs 7200 Profits per common = 0.11 * Rs 7200 = Rs 730 per year IOW, if crude oil is given to refineries at International price, and profits are dispatched to every Indian, every Indian will get Rs 875 a year. This will decrease as oil prices decreases and will increase if oil price increases. This was just crude oil. The royalties that come from coal, natural gas, granite, marble, kota stone, copper, alumina, iron ore and waters also form sizeable amounts. Once citizens know that they are getting mines’ royalties, they will curb the mine mafias and this will enable honest people to enter the mining business and thus royalties will increase by several folds. As per my guesses and estimates, the mine royalties will exceed Rs 4000 to Rs 6000 per person per year So mine royalties and land rents will add to about Rs 18000 per person per year. Of this 33% will go to Military. So the citizens will get about Rs 12000 per person per year. This money is not dole, it is money from the plots and minerals we citizens own. The money is not coming from any tax. There is no “tax the rich, feed the poor” proposal. It is simply about minerals and plots that we citizens own. The MRCM draft is the mother of all changes. We are proposing other changes only to bring this change and to ensure the change stays after bringing it. As of today, land rent and Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 46 creation of new M3 are the principal two reasons why we commons are poor. The forth demand shall reduce us commons’ poverty. 5.8 Effect of land rent collection Once the land rent act is enacted, one of the two things will happen ---1. either we commons will gain say Rs 500 to Rs 1000 per person per month of land rent OR 2. the price of land will fall, as renting makes hoarding very expensive The latter is more likely. Now if price of land falls, then housing price will fall, which will improve quality of the lives of us commons ---many of us commons who live in slums will be able to move to say 1BHK flats. And if price of land falls, number of businesses will rise (since as real estate cost drops, it becomes easy for craftsman to expand), and we commons will have far more jobs and better salaries. Higher industrialization would increase the mineral prices, and so the mines’ royalties will increase. So in any case, the proposal of land rent from IIMA plot, other IIM plots, JNU plot and 10000s of plots and mines we commons own is bound to benefit us commons by a substantial amount. So land rent and mine royalties proposal will create incomes, reduce poverty, improve land and houses availability to the poor and middle class. Thus it will increase purchasing powers of the poor and middle class. The increase in purchasing powers will increase demands and thus increase industries and which will increase employment and skills. And it shall also strengthen our Military. 5.9 Effect of not collecting land rent The effect of not collecting is plain injustice, exploitation of poor via rich and unfair increase in economic equality. eg Consider airport plots. Consider Delhi Airport. It serves 2 cr passengers a year. It has rent value of Rs 6000 cr per year. i.e. Rs 6000/2 = Rs 3000 per passenger. Consider an eliteman who used the Delhi airport 20 times in a year. But by not charging him land rent of Rs 3000 per flight, his richness increased by Rs 600,000. And every common of India lost Rs 60 per year as he did not get any land rent from the Delhi Airport plot he owns. This only increases the wealth/income gap by unfair means of rent denial. 5.10 Procedure to recall NLRO The rent is to be collected and dispatched by officer titled as National Land Rent Office (NLRO). The rents will be determined by standard calculations based on market prices and interest rates, so NLRO does not have discretionary powers there. But he does have some discretionary powers in deciding the process of making sub-plots. So what would stop NLRO from siphoning all the rent into his pocket? Well, the forth MRCM demand , promise has clauses which shall enable us commons to expel/replace NLRO. These replacement system is the key that shall enable us commons to find an NLRO who believes in dispatching rents to us commons.

But as long as approval is above 33% , PM need not replace him with his appointee. Discretion of PM will be final. . Setion-3 : Ownership of plots under GoI 3.1 Supreme Court judges , High Court judges, PM, all citizens The Citizens of India hereby decide and declare the plot of IIMA, plots of all IIMs and the plot of JNU as the property jointly and equally owned by the Citizens of India.

The colleges teaching science and engineering will come under Ministry of Science and will not come under NLRO. . Setion-4 : Collection of rents from GoI owned plots 4.1 NLRO For the unused land, NLRO will divide the land in plots of appropriate sizes as he seems most profitable. NLRO will hold auction for each plot. The conditions for auction will be o The lease will be for 5, 10, 15 , 20 or 25 years as decided by NLRO. The lease cannot be more than 25 years. o The bidders will give bids for monthly rent and bidding period which can be less than maximum lease period. So bids will be in (monthly rent , months lease) format. One person can submit multiple bids. Minimum lease period will be 12 months. o The weight of the bid will Monthly_Rent /log(Lease_In_Months). i.e. more the rent, higher the weight and longer the lease, lesser the weight. o The bids will be open o The NLRO will give the plot as per weight of the bids. o NLRO will charge 6 months rent or collateral as deposit. o the tenant will be free to evacuate land any day and stop paying any rent 4.2 NLRO During the lease time, NLRO will revise the rent every 3 years based on % change in the land prices in the 1sq km area around that plot and % change in prime lending interest rate from the day the plot was leased and the day when rent revision occurs. 4.3 NLRO After the lease time is over, NLRO will hold a fresh auction, where in existing lease holder will get benefits o his weight will get multiplied by 1.1 to 1.5 depending on number of years he has paid rent. o he may increase his bid within 3 months after auction is over. o the existing lease holder will get 20% to 50% the 6 months’ advance rent new lease holder is paying depending on number of months he had held the land. 4.4 NLRO But if existing lease holder loses the auction, then he can move or sell the fixtures on that land. But he will need to vacate that land.

The rents will be revised every 3 years. After 10 years, rules stated from clause-1 onwards of this section will apply 4.7 NLRO NLRO will give 34% of rent collected to Defense Minister for the purpose of strengthening Military and providing weapons and weapon-use education to all citizens. 4.8 NLRO NLRO will dispatch 33% of the rent collected every month to the citizens residing in the State for past 10 years with limit of twice the amount received by citizens of India in last year. NLRO will dispatch rest of rent collected every month to the citizens of India. 4.9 NLRO One year after this law is passed, the rent a person obtains o will increase by 33% if he has no kids o will decrease by 33% if he has more than (2 daughters, 1 son) or (1 daughter, 1 son) or 2 sons or 3 daughters and in which youngest kid is born 1 year after the law is passed o will decrease by 66% if he has more than (3 daughters, 1 son) or (2 daughters, 2 sons) or (1 daughter, 2 sons) or 3 sons or 4 daughters and in which youngest kid is born 1 year after the law is passed 4.7 NLRO The rent paid will be 33% higher for men above 60 and women above 55 ; and will be 66% higher for men above 75 and women above 70. 4.8 NLRO No rent shall be paid to child below 7 years ; the rent to citizens between 7 to 14 will be 1/rd the normal and between 14 and 18 will be 2/3rd of the normal rent paid. . . Setion-5 : Collection of Mineral Royalties 5.1 All Dept Secretaries All the Department Secretaries who are in-charge of mines or crude oil wells or collecting royalties from mines or crude oil wells are ordered to send the royalties collected to NLRO 5.2 NLRO The NLRO shall divide the royalties amongst Military, the citizens residing in the State and citizens of India in the same ratio as Land Rent described in the Ordinance dealing with distribution of Land Rent Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 51 . Setion-6 : Citizens’ voice 6.1 District Collector If any citizen wants a change in this law, he may submit an affidavit at DC’s office and DC or his clerk will post the affidavit on the website of Prime Minister for a fee of Rs 20/-per page. 6.2 Talati (or Patwari) If any citizens want to register his opposition to this law or any section or wants to register YES-NO to any affidavit submitted in above clause, and he comes to Talati’s office with voter-ID and pays Rs 3 fee, Talati will enter YES/NO and give him a receipt. The YES-NO will be posted on the website of the Prime Minister. 5.12 Please note the last two clauses of the PM-RP law I have proposed Please note the last two clauses of the draft proposed above. These two clauses are nothing but RTI2. Every draft of mine has these two lines repeated. Why this repetition? Symbolic value apart, the repetition has political value. It may happen that an MRCM activist has to confront an anti-MRCM intellectual. Then MRCM activist can challenge him to provide the drafts of the laws he wants, and then ask them to add the lines 6.1 and 6.2. If the adversary opposes the last two lines’ additions, then he can be accused of being anti-common. And if he accepts these two line addition, then effectively his proposed law implements RTI2, using which MRCM law can be brought using citizens’ YESes. The two line addition shows that “demand for RTI2” is not just a clone positive concept but RTI2 is a law that can be added to any law and, and once that law with RTI2 addition is passed, these two clauses can be used to bring all 200 laws I have proposed. RTI2 is a selfgermiinatin i.e. even if all laws are bad, but one law has two RTI2 clauses, then all good laws can be enacted. And the two line addition is sufficient to thwart any undemocratic law. Because if an undemocratic law has these two lines, it will get rejected in few days or weeks by citizens. 5.13 Cost of dispatching payments to 110 crore citizens How easy/difficult it is to dispatch land rent and mine royalties to 110 cr commons? This task can be done using Universal Banking System (described later) in which every citizen will have exactly one citizen-account in State Bank of India (or a Govt Bank or Post Office) at the branch of his choice. The amount dispatched by NLRO will be added to the citizen’s account and withdrawal can be done at most once a week in denominations of Rs 100/-with maximum of Rs 1000/-a week for free. The account owner will need to bring his passbook with photo and the cheque with signature and thumb print to be put in from of cashier and camera inside the bank. With this very restricted procedure a cashier can give out 30 payments per hour or about 200 persons in his 8 hour shift or about 5000 payments in a month. So to deliver one payment a month to 110 cr citizens, the SBI would need 110cr/5000 = about 220,000 cashiers. Further, till a child is of 14 years, the payment will go into parents’ accounts and so the number of clerks required will reduce by about 30% to 160,000 clerks. IOW, using about 160,000 cashiers India wide , some 10000 supervisors and 10000 other staff, it is possible to dispatch 110cr payments Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 52 every month. And as ATM become more widespread, this number can be decreased and number of cash-outs per month can be increased. To decrease impostering, the persons in a locality may form a group of at least 10 person and maximum of 20 persons to be referred as “group of reciprocal witnesses”. If the person is member of group of 10, then restriction is that at least 5 persons in that group must accompany him when he goes for withdrawal. In general, all ten will go for withdrawal on the same day and same time. If the person is part of such group, everyone in group will get the amount at together and thumb prints of five mutual witnesses will be taken on the payment receipt. One argument I get against MRCM is that managing a network of 200,000 clerks will be impossible and so instead the money should be spent in education, health etc. Well, to teach 25 cr kids between age of 5 and 17, we would one teacher per 100 students at least i.e. 25 lakh teachers. The floor space needed in schools needed will be at least about 1 sqm per student i.e. 25 cr sqm of floor space. To serve 100 cr citizens in Hospitals, we would need at least one doctor per 2000 citizens i.e.500,000 doctors and about 10,00,000 nurses. In addition, we would require 1000s of buildings for hospitals. IOW, providing education to 25 cr students and health to 100 cr citizens requires 20-100 times more staff than staff to dispatch 100 cr rent payments. So while I do support education, health etc. I see no need to cancel the “rent dispatch” scheme on the grounds of “number of clerks” needed. The number of clerks needed to 100 cr payments every month dispatch payments is no more than 200,000 and is far less than alternative schemes. 5.14 Wont this decrease Govt income? NO If all mineral royalties go to citizens, wont Government fall short of funding? First, as per my proposal, the 33% of mineral royalties do go to Government (Military), which can be seen as 33% income tax on every common and his income from mineral royalties and land rent. Now this 33% will INCREASE after 67% goes to citizens. How? Consider mineral royalties today. Today, for a granite block that is worth Rs 100 in market, whose extraction and transportation cost is below Rs 10, Govt gets royalties of Rs 5 or even less. Why are the bids so low? Because the local mining contractors hire criminals to ensure that more miners cannot come and bid in the Collectors’ offices to submit the bids. But the criminals are able to operate ONLY because they have support of MLAs, MPs, Ministers, CMs, PM, IPS, IAS and relative lawyers of the judges. IOW today, using criminals, MLAs, MPs, Ministers, CMs, PM, IPS, IAS and relative lawyers of the judges ensure that lions’ share of deemed royalties come into their hands via the mine contractors and criminals they bless. Now today, I activists were to tell commons that commons should fight against these Ministers, IPS, IAS and judges’ relative lawyers, then two key questions arise – 1. how can a common fight? and 2. why should a common risk his lives or spend time to do so? The name MRCM-Recall answers both these key questions. MRCM answers the second question : if mineral royalties are going to citizens then the citizens have reason to ensure that criminals who stop good mining contractors getting killed or imprisoned. And the Recall answers the first question : using Right to Recall over Policemen, judges, CM etc the citizens can ensure that police chiefs, judges, Ministers who promote criminals are replaced ASAP by individuals who are pro-common. So “MRCM-Recall” will increase the mineral royalties to several fold, and Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 53 that will also increase the royalties that Military gets. Thus, the sum total of govt income from minerals will increase from the third proposed Govt Order, NOT decrease. In the same way, consider the issue of Govt plots. Today, PM, CMs give away a large number of GoI plots for a price fraction of market price. The Recall (procedure to replace CMs, PM) provides a means by which citizens can stop this and MRCM i.e. giving land rent to commons and Military gives a reason to citizens to stop this. Every time, a CM, PM rents out the land for rent below market value, the citizens will feel a loss, and when the loss exceeds some tolerance amount, they will spend Rs 3 to replace him. Or better, fear of replacement and subsequent punishments will put a check on CMs, PM while doling away lands for bribes. So the net rents will increase and so the 1/3rd of the rent that goes to the Govt (Military) will also increase. So MRCM-Recall proposals increase the net Govt incomes from minerals and land rent. It also increases the incomes of the commons. Then who loses? The criminals and mine contractors will be small losers ---the real losers will be IPS, IAS, Ministers, CMs, PM, super elitemen who own huge mine, relative lawyers of judges etc. And those who oppose MRCMReccal proposals, are only benefiting the criminals, mineral ore contractors, IAS, IPS, relatives of judges, super elitemen who own huge mines etc and no own else. Many intellectuals are on their payrolls and so vigorously oppose MRCM-Recall proposals to serve their interests. 5.15 West has no such law. Why do we need it? I have been campaigning for the procedures by which we commons can expel PM, CMs and judges. All eminent intellectuals have opposed this demand and tried tooth and nail to show that it is unconstitutional. Having failed, they say “West does not have this procedures to give Royalties to commons and so why should we have this procedures?” Well, US has income tax of 40% to 50% with low evasion and few exemptions. US also has about 1% wealth tax on lands. And US has 45% of inheritance tax upon death. The taxes are used for welfare schemes and benefits do reach commons, as Jury System has ensured low corruption. The Indian intellectuals opposed wealth tax, high income tax and is dead against inheritance tax and so funds allocated to welfare is next to nothing. And Indian intellectuals also killed Jury System in 1956, and so corruption runs amok and funds get siphoned out. I have proposed 30% income tax, 2% wealth tax and 35% inheritance tax to improve Military, Military Industrial Complex, engineering education and general education needed to manufacture weapons. And I have also proposed Jury System to reduce corruption so that delivery improves and poverty reduces. But this method of reducing poverty and poverty deaths will take years. Whereas giving mineral royalties to us commons directly, reducing poverty and poverty deaths is possible within mere 4 months. 5.16 MRCM draft and human rights About 1 cr persons die every year in India ---well death is natural. But if they had Rs 100 per month more food and medicine, at least 5-20 lakhs of the 1 cr who died last year could have lived 2-10 years longer. Some 55 out of 1000 children born last year in India died, where as this number was 23 in China and 5 in Cuba. The number 55 per 1000 translates into 11 lakhs in year Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 54 2007. So out of these 11 lakh infants who died in 2007 in India, at least 5 lakhs could have been saved if their families had a few hundred rupees a year extra to spend on food and medicine. IOW, as of now in India, poverty is the biggest killer and biggest violator of human rights. One economists once said that a bomb death gets more attention than 10000 hunger deaths. That is mainly because newspapers are written by 0.01% of Indians and only top 15% population in India reads them. A bomb may hurt them but hunger is too remote for them. Which is why intellectuals, NGOs and media-owners and media-readers insist on focusing on individuals cases and insist on defocusing poverty, poverty deaths. MRCM draft is the most landmark demand in human rights, as this reduces the number of deaths that occur due to lack of money to buy food and medicines. Sadly, all intellectuals have opposed this demands and IMO, activists should shun these eminent intellectuals for good. 5.17 Exercises 1. How much was crude oil production India in 2008? Assuming cost of production did not change in 2008 from that in 2006, and if $135 per barrel was collected from buyer, how much money would citizens of India get, as per your estimate? And if $50 per barrel was collected from buyer, how much money would citizens of India get, as per your estimate? 2. What is the land area of Mumbai airport? What is the approximate price per square meter? How much would citizens of India get if rent is 3% a year of the market value? 3. What is land area of the largest university in your district? How is approximate price of the plot and rent per citizen of India assuming rent rate of 3% of value a year? 4. Does Indian Budget consider land rent deemed as subsidy? 5. Why do intellectuals of India insist that we commons MUST not get mines’ royalties directly and get it only via schemes? 6. Why do intellectuals of India insist that we commons MUST not get land rents directly and get benefits only via schemes? Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 55 6 Third RPG demand – Prajaa-aadheen PM, CMs drafts 6.1 How 3 line law reduces corruption in PM, CM, judges, Police Chief etc in 4 months? The day citizens manage to force PM to sign RTI2, I will submit drafts for RTR-PM RTR-CM, RTR-SCjs, RTR HCjs, RTR RBI Governor, RTR District Police Chief etc. as affidavit. And even if PM doesn’t sign RTI2 and CM signs RTI2, then also I will submit Right to Recall CM, Right to Recall HCjs, Right to Recall District Police Chief etc. as affidavit. I believe that crores of citizens will register YES on these affidavits and so the PM, CMs will be forced to sign these laws. Thus using three line law, we can bring Right to Recall laws in India. And Right to Recall will create a threat that will reduce these officials to reduce their bribe intake in one month. So if RTR-activists focus on RTI2, then corruption in PM, CMs etc can be brought down within months, without getting even one MP elected. If RTR-activists insist on waiting till they get majority in Parliament and then enacting RTR laws, then there is possibility that RTR-activists will be waiting for ever. First they may never get majority in Parliament. And worse, even if they get majority, there is possibility that their “own” MPs will sell out and refuse to pass RTR laws. Eg in 1977, Janata Party MPs had promised to pass RTR laws before election, and after getting elected, later they refused to pass RTR laws. So IMO, RTR-activists should focus on creating mass movement on RTI2 rather than elections. 6.2 Description of Right to Recall PM draft The third GN we demand is to create procedure using which we commons can replace PM without waiting for 5 long years 1. Any citizen who wishes to become PM can inward his name before Cabinet Secretary. 2. Any citizen of India can walk to Talati's office, pay Rs 3 fee, approve at most five persons for PM’s position. The Talati will give him receipt with his voter-id, date/time, the persons he approved etc. 3. The Talati will put citizen's preferences on Govt website with his voter-ID. 4. A citizen can change his approvals any day for Rs 3 fee 5. On every 1st of the month, the Secretary will publish the approval counts of each candidate 6. The Approval count of the PM may be counted as higher of the following two o number of citizens who have approved him o sum of votes obtained by the MPs who have supported the PM 7. If any person has over 15 crore approvals and 1.5 crore more approvals than existing PM, then existing PM may resign and MPs may appoint person with highest approvals as PM. 6.3 Numerical explanations about the proposed procedures to replace PM, CMs Say India has 75 crore voters. Then the replacement as per above procedure may happen if 1.5 crores voters more than existing approval count existing PM has approve a new person. To give an example, the PM of 2004 had support of about 300 MPs whose votes add up to about 18 Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 56 crores. So as per the proposed procedure, if and when over 19.5 crores citizens approve another person, the next person shall become new PM. 6.4 Description of Right to Recall CM draft RTR-CM is creates a procedure using which we commons can replace CM without waiting for 5 years 1. Any citizen who wishes to become CM can inward his name before Cabinet Secretary. 2. Any citizen of India can walk to Talati's (Patwari) office, pay Rs 3 fee, approve at most five persons for the CM position. The Talati will give him receipt with his voter-id, date/time, persons he approved etc. 3. The Talati will put citizen's preferences on Govt website with his voter-ID. 4. A citizen can change his approvals any day for Rs 3 fee 5. On every 1st of the month, the Secretary will publish approval counts of candidates 6. The Approval count of the existing CM will be counted as higher of the following two o number of citizens who have approved him o sum of votes obtained by the MLAs who have supported the CM 7. If any person has 2% more approvals than existing CM, then the existing CM shall resign and person with highest Approvals shall become CM. 6.5 Will PM, CMs get replaced every week? NO In most companies, employers have power to fire employees and that does not mean that employers fire employees every day. Worse, most employers look for stable employees and resort to expulsion only when they make some terrible deliberate damage. The citizens will use this procedure not to expel a CM they dislike and not even to expel a CM who had made mistakes. They will use it only when they think that CM, PM is outrightly corrupt and anti-citizen. It takes intense hatred to think of expulsion and such hatred will come only from blatant back-stabbing, not some minor errors. US has procedure of expulsion for Governors in about 20 states. Those states must have seen about 20*100/4 = about 500 Governors in past 100 years. How many faced recall polls? Only three. And how many Governors actually got expelled? Only one. So the mechanism has not created any instability. But has acted as a latent threat on all Governors of US which is one important reasons why they have been less corrupt than CMs of India.

CS would issue a serial number for a filing fee same as deposit amount for MP election. 3 Talati , (or Talati’s Clerks) If a citizen comes in person to Talati’s office, pays Rs 3 fee , and approves at most five persons for the PM position, the Talati would enter his approvals in the computer and would him a receipt with his voter-id#, date/time and the persons he approved. The fee shall be Rs 1 for those with BPL card. If a the citizen comes to cancel his Approvals, the Talati will cancel one of more of his approvals without any fee. 4 Talati The Talati will put the preferences of the citizen on district’s website with citizen’s voter-ID number and his preferences. 5 CS On every Monday, the CS will publish Approval counts for each candidate. 6 PM The first PM may count his approval count as higher of the following two o number of citizens who have approved him o sum of votes obtained by Loksabha MPs who have supported him 7 PM If a candidate gets approval 2% above the approvals existing PM has, then existing PM may resign and may ask MPs to appoint the approved person as new PM. 8 Loksabha MPs The MPs may elect the person stated in clause-7 as new PM. 9 District Collector If any citizen wants a change in this law, he may submit an affidavit at DC’s office and DC or his clerk will post the affidavit on the website of Prime Minister for a fee of Rs 20/-per page. 10 Talati (or Patwari) If any citizens want to register his opposition to this law or any section or wants to register YES-NO to any affidavit submitted in above clause, and he comes to Talati’s office with voter-ID and pays Rs 3 fee, Talati will enter YES/NO and give him a receipt. The YES-NO will be posted on the website of the Prime Minister.

One may ask – what if PM and MPs do not follow the clause-7, clause-8 of the above proposed GN? Well, if a huge % all voters have approved a person via explicit registration, it would be end of PM’s and MPs’ political (and real) lives if they refuse to appoint the approved person as PM. We would like to confine discussions within politically realistic scenarios, and MPs overruling explicit proven written political demand of over such huge % of voters is an unrealistic situation. 6.8 Please note the last two clauses of the PM-RP law I have proposed Please note the last two clauses of the draft proposed above. These two clauses are nothing but RTI2. Well, every draft of mine has these two lines. Why this repetition? Because I want to repeat, re-repeat and re-re-repeat 1000s of times that we the commons of India have right to register difference on GoI books and so we must have procedure to register differences. The symbolism apart, the repetition has political value. It may happen that an RTR activist has to confront a person who is opposed proposed RTR law. Then RTR-activist can challenge him to provide the drafts of the laws they want, and then ask them to add the same two last line. If the adversary opposes the last two lines’ additions, then he can be accused of being anti-common. And if he accepts these two line addition, then effectively his law implements RTI2, using which all laws I have proposed can be implemented using citizens’ YESes. The two line addition shows that “demand for RTI2” is not just clone positive concept but RTI2 is a law that can be added to any democratic law without decreasing its effect. And the two line addition is sufficient to thwart any undemocratic law. Because if an undemocratic law has these two lines, it will get rejected in few days or weeks. The last two lines also shows the fact that so called RTI2 is what I call as “Perfect Antidote” to all poisons. What is “Perfect Antidote”? A Perfect Antidote is something that if added to a glass of liquid, it will do no harm and will destroy any and all poisons in that glass. These two clauses of RTI2 are something that can gel well with every law. And they have capacity that if the law is good, they would do no harm and if the law is bad, the two clauses will ensure that citizens can remove that law. Thus, these two clauses of RTI2 is what I call as “Perfect Antidote”.

Till now, we have CMs , PM with mass base but no mass pressure. The procedure to replace CMs, PM creates a mass pressure on the CMs, PM. As of now most CMs, PM know that they cant be expelled for 5 years and take the citizens for ride. But with this procedure, he may or may not get replaced, but the threat of replacement will ensure that behaves better than CMs, PM of today. To enact this procedures, the citizens need not us MRCM party candidates as MPs and MLAs. they can force existing PM and CMs to enact the first two MRCM Demands.

The list is as on May-07-2010. The list only increases, does not decrease. 6.14 How these replacement procedures reduce corruption? One question I often face is ---existing officers are corrupt and so the new replacements will be also equally corrupt. So how will replacements reduce corruption, nepotism etc? I shall enumerate the process using examples of District Education Officer. First, I have proposed drafts such as Imprisonment by Majority Voting and Execution by Majority Voting. This draft will apply only on those Ministers, IAS, IPS, judges who have accepted this procedure as 100% ethical and 100% Constitutional. All clauses in these drafts are 100% Constitutional and 100% ethical. Using these drafts, the citizens can imprison or even execute a corrupt Minister, IAS, IPS, judge, who has declared this draft as ethical. And what about those Ministers, judges etc who think that “Execution by Majority Vote” is less than 100% Constitutional and/or less than 100% ethical. Well, RTR gives citizens an option to expel all those IAS, IPS, Ministers, judges who think that “Execution by Majority Vote” is unethical. So now administration consists of officers who can be executed by majority vote. Given the threat of execution, these officers will not dare to take too much bribes. Now these procedure to Execute by Majority Vote has only campaign value. Because RTR will be sufficient to control corruption, and citizens will never need to invoke Execution by Majority Vote. I have explained how RTR will be sufficient in next paragraphs. Consider the position of District Education Officer in-charge of schools in District. I at RRG have proposed Right to Recall DEO – a 10 clause procedure by which the citizens (parents) of district can replace DEO. How would RTR-DEO improve DEO? First, the threat of prompt replacement alone would force him to reduce corruption. But that does not do much. At the end, we want a DEO who is not interested in corruption to begin with, not someone who is reducing corruption because of threat of replacement. How does RTR-DEO in six months provide hundreds of DEOs who are not interested in corruption at all? I will explain the process of how RTR-DEO will accomplish that. There are about 700 DEOs in India. All 700 are intelligent, capable and efficient. And out of them about say about 10-15 are not interested in corruption. That asset is what we already have. Now my RTR-DEO procedure has one more clause ---that if an officer is appointed as DEO by CM, he can be DEO of only one district ; but if citizens have made him DEO, he can be DEO of up to 5 districts in State and up to 10 districts in India. And he would get salaries of all those districts i.e. if a person is DEO of 4 districts and has been appointed by citizens, then his salary will be 4 times. This is cheaper as only salary becomes 4 times, medical benefits, other Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 66 benegits and many lifelong benefits do not become 4 times. And a later modification makes this feature of “horizontal promotion” or “horizontal expansion” more radical ---the salary will become (N * Log2N) times where N is number of Districts he obtains via citizens’ approvals. Further, a person will be entitled to hold several positions across departments i.e. he may be DEO of 10 districts and also become District Health Officer of 10 districts with some limits. In addition, there is provision for vertical rise i.e. if he serves as District Prosecutors of several Districts, his chances of becoming State Prosecutors of one and more States increases. So out of existing 700 DEOs, say 5-15 are non-corrupt. Once RTR-DEO comes, they will see an opportunity to do well as well as expand horizontally as well as vertically. The will start introducing positive changes in the schools in their districts. They will stop middle officers from taking bribes, they will ensure that contractors are putting furniture like blackboard, chairs etc in schools. They will ensure that teachers do attend schools etc. And when they do so, they will no longer give hafta to CMs. Now lets say in all cases CMs transfer them. Then out of 7-15 such cases, in at least 2-5 cases, the parents in order to save their kids’ education will bring that officer back using RTR-DEO. So that would improve education in 2-5 districts out of 700 districts of India. What about the rest? Well, say you are living in district-A. Now say that DEO of A is corrupt and inefficient. Say there are 5 near by districts B, C D, E and X. Say district X alone has good DEO. Then citizens of district-A now have a choice – they can expel DEO of their district and give double charge of DEO of X. This very choice and power, that “citizens can now expel me using RTR and bring DEO of X in my place” will create a threat in the minds of DEO of A, B, C, D and E. So either they will all improve within 2-3 months, or citizens will expel them using RTR and replace him with DEO of X. And within 8-10 months, all 700 DEOs will improve or face expulsion. And within 10-20 months, the officers with “get rich quick” and “hell with citizens” mentality from will start leaving administration, and will no longer join administration. So those who want to serve will have now more room and less corrupt people who will interfere.. The existing Govt procedures have a flaw that salary etc of an honest person does not double if he does twice the work, a phenomenon common in business. This de-motivates honest people from joining Govt. The RTR procedures I have proposed enable officers to hold multiple chairs and gain more salaries. This will increase the inflow of honest as well as enterprising persons into Govt. I have proposed RTR over not just District Education Officers, but also over District Health Officer, District Police Chief, District Supply Officer (in charge of rationing) etc. I have proposed RTR over some 30-50 District level positions including district judges. So there are about 700 districts and so RTR will apply on about 30000 officers, judges. The day RTR comes, some 15000 will improve within 24 hours. And when mere 2-5 officers get expelled in India in district in first month, the remaining 15000 across India will also improve. IOW, RTR will not require citizens to expel even 50 out of 30000 officers. Expulsion of just 2-3 officers will serve as enough warning for the rest. So RTR will not create any instability at all. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 67 Same way, I have proposed RTR State Govt level positions and Central Govt positions such as CM, PM, Ministers, HCjs, SCjs etc. In some cases, they will continue. In some cases they will get expelled and replaced by better persons in their level or lower levels. 6.15 RTR and common sense Many accuse me of being pro-American and also accuse me of copying American system blindly. Well, first I am not pro-America at all – I am highly anti-America and I believe that US is the biggest enemy of India. US elitemen not only want to grab all the minerals of India but also want to impose Christianity using force and “10% genocide” if the need be. So I am not pro-America at all. But IMO we must understand factors that gave such strength to US, and RTR is one of the core strength-givers. RTR has created a low-corruption administration in US, which has made US so strong a country with so strong Military that it can not only take over oil wells of other countries, but can also force them to convert to Christianity. E.g. Iraq. So when I talk about RTR in US, I am only using US as example. I am not pro-American at all. RTR is not from US. RTR is plain common sense. Say you have servants at home such as cook or person to clean utensils or sweep floors or take care of elderly parents etc. Do you have power to expel them? Say Govt makes a rule that you can pick any servant, but you can expel him only after a court order not otherwise. And money will get deducted from your account and will get deposited into his account for next five years. And only he can work in your home, no other servant will come for next 5 years. Then what will be your situation wrt to the servant? He will become your master and you will become his servant. Same is the situation of citizens. Every Govt employee from SC-Cj to peon in local office is “public servant”. But since citizens don’t have procedures to expel them, they have become “public masters”. Just as shareholders have procedures to expel CEO, Directors, senior managers etc – RTR over PM, CMs, SCjs, HCjs etc is same common sense. I often feel stupid that I understood RTR only after studying US and Indian administration in depth and found only trivial factor such as RTR which is what I should have thought of on the day one. “How stupid of me, that I didn’t think of it before” – is the only feeling I get when I look back. 6.16 RTR and Atharvaved, Satyarth Prakash Right to Recall is also mentioned in Atharvaved. Atharvaved says that Sabha , assembly of all citizens, can expel the King. Maharshi Dayanand Saraswatijee in chap-6 of Satyarth Prakash explain the Raj-Dharm, and in the first 5 sholkas, Maharshi says – Raja must be “Prajaa-aadhin” i.e. dependent on commons. And in the next shloka, Maharshi says that if Raja is not Prajaa-aadhin, then such a Raja would enter into the nation, rob the citizens and just as a carnivorous animal eats away the other animals, such Raja who is not Prajaa-aadhin would eat and destroy the nation. And Maharshi Saraswatijee has taken both shlokas from Atharvved. And please note – word Raja here includes all Raj-Karmachari i.e. employees of Govt from Supreme Court Chief judge to Patwari. All employees of Govt must be Prajaa-aadhin, or they will rob the citizens – so say the sages who wrote Atharvaved, and Maharshi Dayanand Saraswatijee agrees with those sages, and I also agree with those sages. How can we commons make Raja and all Raj-Karmachari “Prajaa-Aadhin”? Well, RTR PM, RTR Supreme Court judges, RTR CM are some ways I suggest. And please note – Dayanand Saraswatijee does speak about BandharaNaFree download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 68 aadheen Raja, he talks about Prajaa-aadheen Raja. So answering the question “why policemen in US are less corrupt than in India”, in the words of Atharvaved and Maharshi Saraswatijee, the reason is that the Police Chief in US is Prajaa-Aadheen while in the one in India is not Prajaaaaddhee at all. And Atharvaved and Maharshi Saraswatijee say that if the Raja (or Raj Karmachari such as Police Chief) is not Prajaa-aadheen, he will rob the citizens. We see that all the time. And not just District Police Chief, in US, Governor, MLA, District judge, District Education Officer, District Public Prosecutor, and in some states, even High Court Chief judge is Prajaa-aadheen. And so these Govt employee’s robbery is negligible. In India, the intellectuals with 4 digit IQ have insisted opposite of what Atharvaved and Satyarth Prakash say. The intellectuals with 4 digit IQ say that Raja and Raj-Karmachari i.e. Govt employees should not be Prajaa-aadheen but should be only be BandharaNa-aadheen i.e. dependent on Constitution only. This whole concept of BandharaNa-Aadheen Raja i.e. BandharaNa-aadheen Ministers, officers, policemen and judges is bogus as BandharaNa’s interpretation can be twisted by judges, Ministers etc like a piece of wax. 6.17 West has no RTR-PM, RTR-SCj. So why do we need it? I have been campaigning for the recall procedures by which we commons can expel PM, CMs and judges. All eminent intellectuals have opposed this demand and tried tooth and nail to show that Govt Notifications I have proposed are unconstitutional. Having miserably failed, they say “West does not have this procedures and so why should India we have such procedures?” Well, citizens in US do have procedures by which citizens can expel District level authorities. And the citizens in US also have procedures to expel Governor in about 20 states. In the remaining 30 states, the Governors know that if they misbehave, then citizens are capable of creating a procedure to expel them and then use that procedure to expel him. So while 20 Governors in US have explicit threat of expulsion by commons, the remaining 30 face the same threat implicitly. Nevertheless, a question remains : the citizens of US dont have procedure to expel President and Senators at National level. Yet, in 1929 when millions or Americans lost jobs, the Senators, President and American elitemen enacted many laws such as 70% income tax, 70% inheritance tax and used these laws to collect funds necessary to implement welfare and employment schemes. How could such pro-common actions happened from US Federal Govt even though there is no recall at Federal level? Because in 1929, over 70% of Americans has guns. The welfare state in US and Europe came in 1930s via an “armed peaceful revolution”. This may sound contradictory, but it is not. In Russia only 10% to 15% population had weapons and so Czar could think of suppressing them; he tried and so there was an armed revolution. But in US and UK over 70% of adults had weapons. And the elitemen could see that suppression was not option even if all policemen and soldiers are deployed. And example of Russian Revolution of 1917 was before them and was too fresh in their memories. So the American elitemen in 1932-1936 agreed to give 40% to 70% of their income as income tax and agreed to give 40% to 70% of their wealth as inheritance tax upon death to implement welfare and employment schemes. This was no goodwill, but a way to save remaining 30% or income and 30% of wealth from armed citizenry. IOW, the welfare state was result of an armed peaceful revolution. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 69 The leaders, eminent intellectuals and elitemen worry of only two things : recall and guns and nothing else. They dont fear loss of face, loss of reputation, they dont give a damn about inner voice, they dont care about miseries of us dying commons. E.g. in 1940s, even 40 lakh commons starved to death, the eminent intellectuals and elitemen used to eat and drink lavishly and did not bother. Even today, when per capita pulse consumption decreased by 25% and per capita grain consumption decreased by 10% in 1991-2008, you see leaders, intellectuals and elitemen demanding more IITs, more IIMs, more JNU, more UGC, more flyways, more skyways, more airports, better airports, better ports, more SEZs etc. When you talk about lakhs of infants dying each year for want of medicine/food barely worth Rs 1000 per year, the leaders, intellectuals and elitemen of India talk about Liberalization, Privatization, Globalization, Rising India, Shining India, Feel Good Factor, Incredible India, 8% growth rate group song. If Rome has one Nero, over 98% of leaders, intellectuals and elitemen of India are Nero. The American elitemen did not show such Nerogiri as 70% commons had guns. The Indian leaders, intellectuals and elitemen act like Nero as not even 2% commons in bottom 95% of commons have guns. So “Let them starve and let us cherish” is the motto of Indian elitemen, Indian leaders and Indian eminent intellectuals. So Americans had recall at District/State level and not National level. But an armed citizenry acted as surrogate of recall at National level. We in India do not have armed citizenry. There are people like Naxals who believe that weapons are ONLY way to get rid of poverty. I support weaponization of us commons, but insist on “Right to Recall” to solve the poverty problem, and not use of weapons as the primary method. The commons might starve to death as they did in 1940s in Bengal or they might use weapons as in Russia in 1916 or threat of use of weapons may create a welfare state as it did in 1932 in USA. But those are the ways I would not suggest as of now. I want to try the “Right To Recall” way rather than use weapons against leaders, intellectuals and elitemen. So re-answering the question : How come citizens’ plight in West improved in 1932-39 despite no recall procedures at National level? Answer is : because 70% of Americans had guns. As of now, bottom 98% of Indians do not have guns. I do want a Swiss like India, where 100% citizens have guns, but that is to protect India from possible invasion of Pakistan, China, USUK etc, not to solve poverty, corruption problem issue. For poverty, corruption problem, I prefer use of “Right To Recall PM, CM, judges etc” Summarizing : West did not need recall at National level as they had armed citizenry. We do not have armed citizenry as of now, and so we have to have recall procedures at National, State and District levels. 6.18 Countering anti-recall arguments West improved because of expulsion procedures (Juries or recall procedures) and because citizenry was armed to teeth. These were the ONLY two sources of improvement of the citizens of West. And Indian intellectuals have opposed both., i.e. they have opposed arming citizenry of India as well as they have opposed recall/Jury. IOW, intellectuals of India have ensured that citizenry of India remain weak, docile and poor and then they throw the blame on a myth called as “Political Culture”. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 70 At this point, I would like the reader to note that series of lies and half truths that Indian “intellectuals” throw before students. 1. The Indian intellectuals do not give any information wrt the fact that police in Europe improved only after Coroner’s Jury System came wherein citizens had means to expel an atrocious officer. Only after this Jury System, atrocities of policemen decreased and this reduced this ability to fleece commons. And it was only after and right after Coroner’s Jury System, that prosperity of Europe started increased. 2. The Indian intellectuals do not give any information to activists, students wrt the fact that most important reason why District and State administration in US is low corrupt is widespread use of Jury and Recall. 3. The Indian intellectuals do not give any information to activists, students wrt the fact that Federal Govt in US in 1930s created a welfare state only because citizenry was armed to teeth. In addition, Indian intellectuals have created a myth that welfare system in 1930s came because of “mature citizenry” there by there by throwing the blame of all miseries on the citizens of India. Essentially, Indian intellectuals insist on retaining Bonsai-ness of the Indian democracy – no recall, no Jury, no elections in executive and judiciary and no weapons to us commons. And when the lack of democraticness creates poverty deaths, corruption and weak Military, they promptly blame the us commons and our Political Culture, Religion etc. Review questions 1.

My belief is that over 70 cr citizens will not oppose it and may even register YES on it. And so IMO, using 3 line RTI2 law, citizens may be able enact Right to Recall SC-Cj , HC-Cj within 3-4 months. And within weeks after coming of RTR over judges, corruption in courts will become near zero. If an RTR-activists insist on waiting till they get majority in Parliament and then enacting RTR laws, then there is possibility that RTR-activists will be waiting for ever. First they may never get majority in Parliament. And worse, even if they get majority, there is possibility that their “own” MPs will sell out and refuse to pass RTR-SC-Cj law. E.g. in 1977, Janata Party MPs had promised to pass RTR laws before election, and after getting elected, later they refused to pass RTR laws. So IMO, RTR-activists should focus on creating mass movement on RTI2 rather than elections. 7.2 Constitutional validity of draft of RTR SC-Cj India’s intellectuals are Murti-pujak i.e. Nyaya-Murti-pujak i.e. they all worship SCjs and HCjs. So all intellectuals have hated RTR over SC-Cj as it makes citizens more powerful than SCjs. So intellectuals have resorted to their pet argument ---the draft I have proposed in unconstitutional. To all these intellectuals, I asked one question : can you show me the which of the ten clauses in draft is IYO unconstitutional? And till date no intellectual has dared to reply If an RTR-activist insist on waiting till they get majority in Parliament and then enacting RTR laws, then there is possibility that RTR-activists will be waiting for ever. First they may never get majority in Parliament. And worse, even if they get majority, there is possibility that their “own” MPs will sell out and refuse to pass RTR-SC-Cj law. E.g. in 1977, Janata Party MPs had promised to pass RTR laws before election, and after getting elected, later they refused to pass RTR laws. So IMO, RTR-activists should focus on creating mass movement on RTI2 rather than elections.

The word “may” does not imply any moral-legal binding. 2. SC-Cj means Supreme Court Chief judge. 3. SCj means Supreme Court judge. 4. This GN will come into effect only after all over 50% of all citizen-voter have registered YES over it and there after every SCj has approved this GN. 2 PM (or his Secretary he designates) If any citizen of India above age of 30 years wishes to become NRJ (Nationally Recognized Jurist) , and he appears in person or via a lawyer with affidavit before PM or designated Secretary of PM, the Secretary of PM would accept his candidacy for NRJ after taking filing fee same as deposit amount for MP election. 3 Talati , (or Talati’s Clerks) If a citizen of that district comes in person to Talati’s office, pays Rs 3 fee , and approves at most five persons for the NRJ position, the Talati would enter his approvals in the computer and would him a receipt with his voter-id#, date/time and the persons he approved. 4 Talati The Talati will put the preferences of the citizen on district’s website with citizen’s voter-ID number and his preferences. 5 Talati If a the citizen comes to cancel his Approvals, the Talati will cancel one of more of his approvals without any fee. 6 PM’s Secretary On every 5th of month, the PM’ Secretary may publish Approval counts for each candidate as on last date of the previous month. 7 PM If a candidate gets approval of over 24 cr registered citizen-voters in India, then PM may appoint him as NRJ 8 PM If an NRJ gets approval of over 37 crore of citizen-voters and the Approval count is 2 cr more than all NRJs, then PM may send the name of the most approved NRJ to the Chief Judge of India asking him if he is appropriate for the position of Supreme Court Chief judge.

If the CjI and every other SCjs recommend that the most approved NRJ should be new CjI and the existing CjI resigns, within 30 days, then and then only the PM may appoint that NRJ as Chief Justice of India. 2. However, if any one of the Supreme Court judge refuses to accept appointment of NRJ as the Chief judge, or gives no response within 30 days, then PM and all MPs may cancel their recommendation and may resign and may declare new election. Their decision will be final. 10 District Collector If any citizen wants a change in this law, he may submit an affidavit at DC’s office and DC or his clerk will post the affidavit on the website of Prime Minister for a fee of Rs 20/-per page. 11 Talati (or Patwari) If any citizens want to register his opposition to this law or any section or wants to register YES-NO to any affidavit submitted in above clause, and he comes to Talati’s office with voter-ID and pays Rs 3 fee, Talati will enter YES/NO and give him a receipt. The YES-NO will be posted on the website of the Prime Minister. The proposed GN may effectively implement replacement of CjI. And the proposed GN does NOT violate any article in the Constitution.

Why do we need it? I have been campaigning for the procedures by which we commons can expel PM, CMs and judges. All eminent intellectuals have opposed this demand and tried tooth and nail to show that it is unconstitutional. Having failed, they say “West does not have this procedure to remove SCjs and so why should we have this procedures?” Because in US, some 50% adults have guns, which ensures that elitemen will neither ask nor allow SCjs to stoop low beyond a level. Further, US has Right to Recall lower court judges and some states also have Right to Recall High Court judges. e.g. Citizens in California have Right to Recall California Supreme Court Chief judge, equivalent to our High Court Chief judge. These procedures do keep a threat level on Federal Supreme Court judges. And in US, trials are decided first by Juries over which SCjs have no control. The verdicts of SCjs are NOT binding on Juries. So the SCjs in US do not control lower courts. We have demanded a law to implement Jury System in India. But till that law stabilizes, SCjs will have powers. So we commons of India must have procedure to put a check on the SCjs. Besides, problems of US are with US. As far as India goes, Satyarth Prakash clearly says that “Raja must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob the citizens”. Same way, SC-Cj must be Praja-aadheen or else he will rob the citizens. No wonder why we have SC-Cj giving bail to pedophiles convicted by lower courts. 7.5 National judocratic Commission is a useless idea The eminent intellectuals have demanded National judocratic Commission, wherein some 5-15 people will have powers to appoint and expel HCjs and SCjs. These 10-15 people will sell out of MNCs and Indian elitemen and all the courts will become fiefdom of MNCs and Indian elitemen after NjC comes. We support ”Right To Recall SCjs” and oppose National judocratic Commission proposal. Furthermore, in the NjC proposal as demanded by the eminent intellectuals does not have procedure by which we commons can expel/replace NjC members. And the eminent intellectuals have opposed procedure to replace NjC members in their NjC proposal. So NjC members will only act as corrupt puppet of elitemen. The NjC proposal is because the old elitemen want to block the judges who have nexuses with new elitemen from getting too much power. IOW, NjC proposal is old elitemen vs. new elitemen game and there is nothing for commons.

The system I have proposed is what I call as Economic Choice System. 8.2 Details of proposed Economic-Choice System 1. Any member of a sub-caste that belongs to ST, SC or OBC can walk to Tahsildar’s office, undergo verification and apply for economic-choice , where in ° he shall still retain his SC, ST, OBC status ° he shall receive inflation adjusted Rs 600 per year, till he cancels economic-choice ° till he gets this payment, he cannot apply in reserved quota. ° he will be eligible for reservation the day he cancels his second-choice ° the number of reserved seats will decrease depending on those who have opted-out ° the money shall come from tax on all lands and nowhere else. 2. Example : India has 100 cr of population of which 14% i.e. 14 cr are SC. So if a college has 1000 seats of then 140 are reserved . Now suppose out of these 14 cr SCs, say 6 cr insist on economic-choice then each shall get payment of Rs 100 a month and reservation for SC will go down by 14*0.66*6/14 = 5.94% i.e. will become 8.06% 3. If a person has opted for economic-choice and then changes to social-choice, he will be entitled for CBR benefits on that day. But if he reverts back to economic choice, he shall get Rs 600/yr payment after 6 months 4. If a person is Dalit, OBC has opted for economic-choice, he can still obtain seat on quota, but shall become eligible after he cancels economic-choice 5. If a person has taken seat on SC/ST or OBC quota, he will not be eligible for economic-choice 6. If both parents have opted for economic-choice, their children below 18 years shall get Rs 300/year for at most (2 sons) or (2 sons, 1 daughter). 8.3 Why above proposed law will get YESes from poor SC, ST, OBCs Because over 80% of poor SC, ST and OBC cant even clear 12th class and reservation has no meaning for them. A family of 5 will get Rs 3000 year if they accept economic choice and have nothing to lose. With over 80% SC, ST and OBCs opting for economic choice – the quota will decrease to less than 10%. Now in merit list, we anyway have 10% SC, ST and OBCs. Hence effective reservation becomes near zero. Therefore once RTI2 is signed and once affidavit demanding Economic Choice is submitted, over 80% SC, STs and OBCs will register YES. 8.4 Costs As on Jan-2010, India’s population is 116 cr of which about 79 cr is SC, ST and OBCs. Even if all were to take Economic Choice i.e. Rs 600 per year, the cost will be below Rs 48000 cr i.e. below 1% of GDP. In my proposal, this money is to be collected by wealth tax only.

This is explained later in money supply related chapters. In this chapter, I will only describe the solution – the procedure by which we citizens can replace RBI Governor. 9.2 Right to Recall RBI Governor Following is the description of one of the most important Govt Order we MRCM proposedemman and promise to fix the Rupee System of Indian 1. Any citizen of India can pay a deposit same as MP election to the PM’s secretary and register himself as a candidate for RBIG (Reserve Bank of India’s Governor). 2. Any citizen of India can walk to Talati’s office, pay Rs 3 fee , approve at most five persons for RBIG position. The Talati will give him a receipt with his voter-id# and the persons he approved. 3. A citizen can cancel his approvals any day as well. 4. The Talati will put the preferences of the citizen on district’s website with citizen’s voter-ID number and his preferences. 5. If a candidate gets approval of over 50% of ALL registered voters (ALL, not just those who have filed their approval) then PM may expel the existing RBIG and appoint the person with highest approval as RBIG. The detailed law-draft is as below.

Following is the draft of the law needed to create a procedure using which we commons can replace RBIG # Procedure for Procedure /instruction 1 -The word citizen would mean a registered voter 2 Cabinet Secretary If any citizen of India wishes to become RBIG (Reserve Bank of India Governor) , and he appears in person or via a lawyer with affidavit before the Cabinet Secretary, the Secretary would accept his candidacy for RBIG after taking filing fee same as deposit amount for MP election. 3 Talati , (or Talati’s Clerks) If a citizen of that district comes in person to Talati’s office, pays Rs 3 fee , and approves at most five persons for the RBIG position, the Talati would enter his approvals in the computer and would him a receipt with his voter-id#, date/time and the persons he approved. 4 Talati The Talati will put the preferences of the citizen on district’s website with citizen’s voter-ID number and his preferences. 5 Talati If a the citizen comes to cancel his Approvals, the Talati will cancel one of more of his approvals without any fee. 6 Cabinet Secretary On every 5th of month, the CS may publish Approval counts for each candidate as on last date of the previous month. 7 PM If a candidate gets approval of over 51% of ALL registered citizen-voters (ALL, not just those who have filed their approval) in a district, then PM may or need not expel the existing RBIG and may or need not appoint the person with highest approval count as RBIG. The decision of PM will be final. 8 District Collector If any citizen wants a change in this law, he may submit an affidavit at DC’s office and DC or his clerk will post the affidavit on the website of Prime Minister for a fee of Rs 20/-per page. 9 Talati (or Patwari) If any citizens want to register his opposition to this law or any section or wants to register YES-NO to any affidavit submitted in above clause, and he comes to Talati’s office with voter-ID and pays Rs 3 fee, Talati will enter YES/NO and give him a receipt. The YES-NO will be posted on the website of the Prime Minister. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 79 9.4 How will three line law and procedure to replace RBIG improve price control The one and only one reason behind price rise is rampant manufacturing of rupees (M3) via RBI, SBI etc The rampant increase is authorized by RBI Governor despite opposition of majority of the citizens. The RBI Governor acts recklessly because citizens don’t have procedures to expel him. But once citizens get procedures to expel/replace RBI Governor, RBIG will behave and would not permit rampant manufacturing of rupees. This coupled with other laws proposed in “improve RBI” chapter will control prices without reducing growth. So the day citizens manage to force PM to sign RTI2, someone will submit draft for Right to Recall RBIG as affidavit. The crores of citizens who are heavily impoverished due to rupee manufacturing will register YES on this affidavits, after they are explained hoe RBIG is responsible for the price rise. And once crores of citizens register YES on this affidavits, the PM will be forced to sign these laws. And once procedure to replace RBIG comes, RBIG will be forced to reduce money manufacturing, reduce corruption in lending and that will control price rise and also increase the real growth. Thus, using three line RTI2 law, we can reduce price rise and increase growth without getting even one MP elected. If RTR-activists insist on waiting till they get majority in Parliament and then enact RTR over RBIG, then there is possibility that RTR-activists will be waiting for ever. First they may never get majority in Parliament. And worse, even if they get majority, there is possibility that their “own” MPs will sell out and refuse to pass RTR laws. Eg in 1977, Janata Party MPs had promised to pass RTR laws before election, and after getting elected, later they refused to pass RTR laws. So IMO, RTR-activists should focus on creating mass movement on RTI2 rather than “winning election” based method.

For registration, I will keep the name as “Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa aka Right to Recall Group” and I will keep the official acronym as PRRRG. In common conversation, I will refer it by following names : o Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa Group o Right to Recall Ministers, Officers, judges Group o MRMC-Recall Group o MRCM Group. The abbreviations I will use will be PRRRG, RRG, MRCM-Recall and RRMOjP, with a lowercase “j” . MRCM stands for “Mineral Royalties for Commons and Military”, and is my key economic motive to form RRG and bringing RTR-PM, RTR-CM, RTR-judges, RTR-RBIG laws etc are my key political motives. The words Ministers, Officers and judges in the title “Right to Recall Ministers, Officers, judges Group” are important for me to tell all that how I differ from those Recallists who insist that Right to Recall should be confined to MLAs, MPs only and must not be applied on Ministers, officers, judges. I categorically say that we are not interested in confining Recall to MLAs and MPs, and I hate all those Recallists who insist that Recall should be confined to Panchayats, Mayors, MPs, MLAs only. I consider them pseudo-Recallists and are anti-Recall in reality. We will also be the first group with the word “aka” inside the very name !! I will also use words RRG aka “Right to Recall Group”. “Right to Recall Group” will be a non-political organization, and will be used to spread information on RTR laws in places where political groups are banned. And another name I will use is “Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa Cause”, as unregistered movement. The words “Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa Cause” will be used to spread the information on RTR etc where other organizations are banned. I chose the name “Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa Group aka Right to Recall Group” or MRCM Group or MRCM-RRG because I want the group to be known for its purpose. The purpose of PRRRG is to enact RTI2, RTR, MRCM etc laws and establish the Vedic concept of Prajaaaaddhee Raajaa. And so instead of a catchy generic name with catchy keywords, I chose the name that will reflect core purposes. 10.2 The summary of RRG goal and plan The RRG goal is a one Notification issued -nothing more and nothing less. The proposed Govt Notification namely RTI2-GN described in chap-1 is the one and only item in RRG goal. And it is absolutely non-negotiable. What plan do I propose to get these laws passed? The plan I propose is : I will inform as many people as possible about RTI2, MRCM and RTR drafts ; and ask each person who likes RTI2, RTR and MRCM drafts to follow the plan he likes to get these laws passed. And next paragraph describes the plan I like. This is the plan I am perusing as of now is outlined in chap-23. It is not a binding on any RRG member. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 81 10.3 Main difference between RRG and other parties Almost all parties, be new or old, be small or big have same method at core : they insist that citizens must elect their party’s candidates as MPs first. They say that unless citizens elect them as MPs first, there is nothing they can do to improve India. And they promise that once citizens elect them, they will enact laws to improve India, though they don’t disclose the drafts of those laws. I and my colleagues at RRG differ from them. We don’t need citizens to elect even one of us to fix India. If citizens can force existing PM to sign RTI2 draft, citizens of India will be able to improve thereafter using RTI2. This is a major difference between us and rest – my proposed method doesn’t at all depend on requiring citizens to elect us. Further, no party outlines how they will ensure that their own MPs will not become as corrupt as existing MPs after they win elections. The other parties only give empty statements like “see, you must put faith in some people”. I and my colleagues at RRG differ. We officially claim that we know only one way to ensure that MPs, Ministers etc from our parties will be noncorrrup – the citizens will have to force the existing PM to sign RTI2-draft and using RTI2 draft, citizens should enact Right to Recall laws. And Right to Recall law will ensure that our MPs or other MPs reduce their corruption. So RRG’s method to improve India involves enacting RTI2 draft as first step, and enacting more laws and then replace MP, Ministers, IAS, IPS, judges etc if the need be. Most parties method insist on “elect our candidates as MPs” alone as their first step. IMO, their method is flawed because if citizens don’t change laws first, no matter which set of individuals arrive, the corruption will not decrease. The action items I have worked out for RRG is listed in http://rahulmehta.com/003.pdf . The actions are clone-positive i.e. if more Right to Recall parties comes in politics and even if they compete, they will add up, not cut each other. The action items need no more than 1 hour a week from 200,000 activists. So in terms of time, the RRG method is very efficient. 10.4 World view on violence, revolution etc I am against using violence against Ministers, officers, judges, policemen and I am also against using violence against wealthy individuals who own these Ministers, officers and judges. But if officers, Ministers start imprisoning or fining RTR activists by throwing frivolous Income Tax cases, frivolous Sales Tax cases, frivolous Service Tax cases or frivolous rape cases etc against “Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa” activists, then I will re-think my stand on use of violence against Ministers, officers, judges and wealthy ones who own them. But till then I oppose violence and every form of violence. I oppose revolution. I strictly believe in evolution i.e. one small change at a time, which is why each and each of 200 Govt Notifications I have demanded is one small change at a time. RTI2 draft is just 3 lines, MRCM draft is just 4 pages. RTR-PM is just 1 page and so forth. 10.5 Religion of Democracy and Constitution I am a devout believer in the Religion of Democracy. I have full and firm faith in the Constitution as interpreted by the People of India. I see no major compelling need to change the Constitution anymore, though I am not against any demand to amend the Constitution as long as Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 82 draft of the Amendment is given in writing. I believe that Indian State has been overthrown and usurped by not following the Constitution as interpreted by Citizens and instead imposing the Constitution as interpreted by the judges. And my aim is restoration of the Indian State by making Constitution as interpreted by us Commons as the Supreme force in India. I dont need modification in Constitution, I only insist we should interpret the Constitution as it was interpreted by the citizens on Jan-25-1951. As on Jan-25-1951, there was no Supreme Court as it is today, and so the only authority to give meanings to the words in the Constitution was the citizenry of India. Now the citizenry has added the word “Democracy” in preamble, which on Jan-25-1951 meant – a regime where majority enacts laws and the majority’s interpretation is final. This has been the definition of Democracy in West since 1200 AD, wherein Jurors interpretation of law was final. This ideal was re-stated in Maryland Constitution Art-23 : “In the trial of all criminal cases, the Jury shall be the Judges of Law, as well as of fact, except that the Court may pass upon the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain a conviction. The right of trial by Jury of all issues of fact in civil proceedings in the several Courts of Law in this State, where the amount in controversy exceeds the sum of $10,000, shall be inviolably preserved” . Thus the meaning of word “Democracy” in Constitution on Jan-25-1951 was --a regime where majority enacts laws and the majority’s interpretation is final. We want restoration of the Constitution with the same meaning. 10.6 Other books/articles by myself All Party publications are available for free at http://rahulmehta.com/publications.htm 1.

Following are main differences : What we at RRG say What other parties’ MPs and the eminent intellectuals of India say 1. Ownership of mineral mines and the Govt plots RRG insists that we Indians (we citizens) and not the State of India own the mines and Govt plots. And so we insist that we citizens and our Military should get all the rents and royalties. To be specific, RRG firmly believes citizens must get rents from GoI plots such as IIMA plot, JNU plot, airport plots etc The leaders of Congress, BJP, CPM and all eminent intellectuals of India have firmly said that the mineral mines and Govt plots are the property of “State” of India and common Indians shall have no ownership, control over them. And they have categorically refused to give rents to Indians (citizens) over IIMA, JNU and airport plots. 2. We are Democracyists , MPs of other parties and eminent intellectuals of India are fascists We at MRCM Group are the only ones in political arena who insist that we commons MUST have legislative powers and we commons MUST have powers to expel and replace officers/judges. IOW, we are Democracyists All other parties and all eminent intellectuals of India consider us commons and voters as fools, and insist that we commons should have no say in law-making and appointments/replacements of officers, policemen, judges. And we commons should have no say in taking judgments in the courts. India’s most intellectuals have fascists mentality and so they firmly insist that all discretion in administration should be with Ministers, IAS, IPS, judges and intellectuals only. Forget discretionary powers, so fascists are Indian intellectuals that they even oppose RTI2 – merely letting citizens post complaints on PM’s website. We abhor their fascism, and they abhor over Democracyism.

Citizens’ interpretation of Constitution shall be final ; SCjs’ interpretation shall not be final We are the only group in India who believe that India’s Constitution as interpreted by us Citizens of India shall be the final voice, and the Constitution’s interpretation by the two dozen Supreme Court judges may be important but not final. We agree that Supreme Court judges’ interpretation is above the interpretation of Ministers, and is indeed important for Citizens to take note of. But it is not final. Our Constitution itself in the Preamble clearly says that India shall be a Democracy and a Republic which clearly supports the “Citizens’ Review System” which states that the Constitution as interpreted by Citizens is final and it is above the Judocratic Review. Which is why we insist on Jury Systems from lower courts to the Supreme Court, and demand citizens Review System where in citizens can register YES/NO on Constitutional validity of SCjs’ judgments. IOW, we believe in Constitutional Democracy. All other parties’ MPs and all eminent intellectuals of India have always opposed to the Citizens’ Review System and also opposed the Jury System. They have always supported the judge system and the judocratic review. While all other parties and all intellectuals insist that Constitution as interpreted by the two dozen Supreme Court judges as final and us common’s interpretation is some garbage. All parties and intellectuals insist that us Citizens’ interpretation of Constitution should be ignored, and our YES/NO on SCjs’ judgments should not be even taken. And all intellectuals insist the interpretation of SCjs should be mercilessly and ruthlessly imposed over the commons using media, education and Police and Military if the need be. IOW, other parties and intellectuals believe in Constitutional judocratic Fascism. 4. Disclosing drafts of GNs (Govt Notifications) and GOs (Govt Orders , Ordinances) We are the first and only group in India, who show the drafts of GNs we demand. We do not ask people to put faith in us. We request people to read our GNs and decide on their own if these GNs are something they would support. That way a citizen voter shall have full opportunity to decide whether he should support us or oppose us. Every group makes policy promises, but each party’s MPs and MLAs refuse to publish the drafts of the GOs they would pass. Their answer is “you vote for us first and we will show you the drafts after we become Ministers”. Well, Mr. Candidate, what if the drafts turn out be useless and against the well being of us commons? Their answer is “Have faith in me”. We dont give us such obscure and vague answers Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 86 What we at RRG say What other parties’ MPs and the eminent intellectuals of India say 5. On the myth of the ‘Political Culture’ The problems of India are due to bad law drafts intellectuals and other Party’s MPs have enacted. Nothing is wrong with the culture of us commons. The eminent intellectuals have created a myth of political culture and claim that problems of India are due to this culture of us common Indians and not due to flawed laws they support. 6. Other parties’ are to win elections, collect bribes ; we are ONLY to enact laws we demand Our primary goal is to get some Govt Orders enacted and NOT winning the elections. We are contesting only to give publicity to Govt Orders and laws we demand and promise. We do not insist that voters vote for us -we insist that citizens force their CMs, PM, MLAs and MPs to enact laws we are proposing. And we ask voters to vote for us only if they are convinced that the leaders of other group shall not sign these Govt Orders. Every other party, their main goal is to win elections and they are not committed to any change in administration. 7. Reducing corruption, nepotism in courts We are the only group who speaks against nepotism in courts. All other group leaders and intellectuals have been supporting nepotism in courts by supporting the laws (such as interview system and judge system) that promote nepotism in courts. And they have opposed laws like Jury System and abolition of interviews which are must to put an end to nepotism in the courts.

Respect for commons We have utmost respect for commons, and insist that his YES/NO on legal administrative issues should be registered and given weight The other Parties’ leaders and all intellectuals of India have nothing but insults for us commons. They consider us commons as “immature” (read : idiot, moron etc) and so insist that us commons’ YES/NO on laws, judgments, appointments etc should not be even registered forget giving any weightage. 9. Against donations We are against donations. We believe that activists must allocate time, and may spend money on xeroxes, newspaper advertisements etc but should send no money at top. All parties ask workers to gather donations. And by giving donations, the donors are only spoiling the parties and worsening political scene in India. 10. Some 100-120 more differences And there are about 120 differences. So many? Yes, so many, and many more. We have proposed about over 120 Govt Orders to bring changes in administration. To see these differences, please see the list of Govt Orders we demand and promise on http://www.rahulmehta.com/all_drafts.htm . And the other parties and all intellectuals of India oppose each one and every one of them. And thus there are about 120 differences between MRCM party and other parties’ MPs and all intellectuals of India. 11. Approach with other Party’s volunteers The leaders of other parties always ask activists to leave other parties and join their own parties. Whereas, I and other volunteers at RRG never ask activists of other parties, NGOs to leave their parties, NGOs. Instead we request them – “can you convince your leaders to add Right to Recall PM, RTR CM, RTR Supreme Court judges etc drafts in your Manifesto? My goal is to convert as many political parties as possible into RRG clones by injecting RTR, RTI2 etc drafts in their manifesto by influencing their own workers. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 88 11.2 The most important difference in campaign method There are at least 50+ more differences. The 11th difference cited above shows a fundamental difference in method as well as motive. The leaders of other parties always ask activists to leave other parties and join their own parties, because these leaders want to become center of power. Whereas, I and my other volunteers at Right to Recall Group never ever ask activists of other parties, NGOs to leave their parties, NGOs. Instead we request them – “can you convince your leaders to add Right to Recall PM, RTR CM, RTR Supreme Court judges etc drafts in your Manifesto”? And I openly insist that I would be happier if activists form one more different competing RRG or continue to force their leaders to add RTI2 , RTR, MRCM drafts in their organization’s agenda !! Why? Why do I ask a non-80G-activists to form a competing Prajaaaaddhee Raajaa Party? Or why do I ask them to add RTR drafts in their organization’s agenda? Because instead of one Right to Recall Group campaigning for RTI2 draft, MRCM drfat and RTR drafts, I would prefer to have 1000 Right to Recall Groups each asking for MRCM draft, RTR draft etc. Now if 1000 Right to Recall Groups demand RTR drafts and unleash a extremely competitive politics for RTR drafts, then all Right to Recall Groups may lose elections due to division in votes. But information on RTR drafts would spread amongst maximal number of citizens of India at fastest possible speed. Also, if there are 1000 organizations demanding RTR drafts, it will be more difficult for opponents to finish the demand for RTR drafts. As I said several times, my goal is not to win elections ---my goal is to get the RTI2 drafts, RTR drafts passed. And so 1000 RRGs and organizations each demanding RTR draft will do better than one RRG demanding RTR draft. And so I am happy when a true activist doesn’t join me, but he starts one more RRG or tries to add RTR drafts in the agenda of his organization. 11.3 Importance of drafts of the proposed laws I believe that every honest candidate and every honest political party must declare all GNs (and legislations) he intends to enact to solve the existing problems of India. We also believe that every citizen must ask for the drafts of the laws that the candidate intends to pass. The draftless proposed changes are all handsome but useless. The citizens after election cannot take manifesto statements to the collector’s office or courts and demand the benefits the policies cite. Inside the government offices and courts, what counts is the draft of GNs that Ministers have signed matter. Which is why we have given full importance to drafts of the GNs we plan to sign and we give zero value to policy statements. This chapter describes the First Govt Notification we demand and promise. Review questions (Every chapter in this book has review questions to so that by answering these questions, the reader can convince himself that he has read the chapter) 1. Whose interpretation of Constitution is final in our RRG views? Whose interpretation of Constitution is final in the intellectuals’ views? Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 89 2. Do intellectuals consider minerals as the property of us commons? Do intellectuals consider GoI plots such as Delhi airport or IIMA plot as the property of us commons? 3. Does RRG believe in “Political Culture” theory? Exercises (Every chapter in this book has some exercises for reader so that he becomes familiar with Indian Administration) 1. Please obtain draft of law Shourie or other BJP MPs or any other MP proposed in Parliament to enact National ID system. 2. Please obtain draft of law that the MPs of CPM, BJP, Congress etc proposed in the Parliament to reduce the nepotism in Supreme, High and Lower courts 3. Please obtain draft of law Congress, BJP and CPM MPs proposed in Parliament to recall MPs, MLAs, CMs, PM etc. 4. Please obtain draft of law that Jayprakash Nayaran proposed to recall MPs, MLAs, CMs, PM etc. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 90 12 List -1 : List of important drafts RRG proposes GN means Govt Notification i.e. an order issued by Cabinet Ministers. GNs are binding on officers and citizens unless and until canceled by some judges. Following are some of the 120 GNs I at RRG have proposed. The first GN I propose, namely RTI2 is as follows -o Collector would put citizen’s affidavit (if citizen wants) on website of PM/CM for a fee o Patwari/Talati would allow citizens to register Yes-No on any affidavit for Rs 3/-fee. o Yes-No count is not binding on PM, CM etc The RTI2 is proposed at National, State as well as City/District, Tahsil and Gram levels The next five important GNs we demand 1. MRCM : Enact procedures so that the royalties from mineral mines and rents from Govt plots go as --1/3rd to India’s Military and 2/3rd amongst citizens of India. Details : Say Rs 30000 crores is collected in the month of say Jan-2008 from land rent from GoI plots and GoI mineral ores. Then as per this MRCM draft Rs 10,000 crores will go to the Military and Rs 200 will go to each of the 100 cr citizens. Essentially, each citizen will have an account in local SBI or post office, from where he can collect the cash once a month. If every citizen collects cash once a month, GoI will need no more than 120,000 clerks. Existing PSU banks have over 600,000 clerks. So giving mineral ore royalties and land rent to citizens is manageable. 2. Right to Recall Police Chief : Enact law by which citizens can replace District Police Chief 3. Right to Recall PM\CM : Enact law by which citizens can replace CM\PM before election 4. Right to Recall SC-Cj : Enact constitutional Govt Notification by which we commons can expel/replace the Supreme Court Chief judge if the need be, with the approval of the existing Supreme Court judges. 5. Enact a law that would decrease reservation with support of poor SC, ST and OBCs (details are given in a later chapter). Constitutional validity of Right to Recall PM, CM SC-Cj etc (demand no. 2-4) Some eminent intellectuals have been wrongly campaigning that our drafts to materialize demands no. 2-4 are unconstitutional. They are all wrong. The drafts I have proposed are 100% Constitutional. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 91 Blanket Commitment to Democracy I will try to raise a mass movement asking the commons of India to force the CMs\PM to sign RTI2 draft. If such a mass movement doesn’t happen, I have nothing to offer. When if the mass movement for RTI2 happens and succeeds to force PM to sign RTI2-GN, then I will register about 100-200 affidavits each containing drafts of one GN. After that, I will ask citizens to register YESes at Talati’s (Patwari’s) offices over these affidavits . I do not insist that citizens make me or my men MPs to get these GNs passed. Nor I shall never ever lobby before MPs, MLAs, CMs or PM to get these laws passed. I will not stop MPs and MLAs of any party from enacting any of the laws we have proposed. But I will ask only the citizens to enact these laws and not the MPs, MLAs. To PM, CM, MPs and MLAs, I have one and only one request : please sign RTI2 draft. Some petty demands 1. Allow the citizen to change the ration card shop : if that happens, kerosene theft will decrease 2. Allow the citizens to change gas cylinder agency 3. Manufacture 3 liter and 5 liter cooking gas cylinders : so that poor can afford it 4. Decrease gas cylinder fees from Rs 1100 to its cost only 5.

My opening line was “three line RTI2 law is sufficient to reduce poverty deaths and corruption in police in just 4 months”. And if that seemed impossible or a joke, then here is another one : if as few as 200,000 individuals in economically top 5 cr of India spend mere 1 hour a week executing steps I mentioned, then within 6 months, their actions would create a mass movement which will force PM to sign the RTI2 law. Why so small number of individuals are needed? Because the method I am proposing to publicize RTI2, RTR drafts is clone positive method. What the heck is this clone positiveness? I will explain in next chapter. It is the most important concept in activism, which sadly most activists in India has ignored till date. 13.2 Money (except for newspaper ads) is useless – your time and newspaper ads are only things I need My belief (or superstition) is that the two words “Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa” will touch the heart of everyone who wants to reduce poverty and corruption. And two sentences that “Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and thus destroy the nation” will stay in the minds of everyone who hears it once. Those who like concept of “Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa” have to only ensure that a person hears these words once. We do not need any marketing gimmick. We don’t need any funfare or show of strength to impress people. These words will impress people more than 1000 market gimmicks and funfares. Now my aim is get about RTI2, RTR, MRCM law-drafts passed. And in the first round, the only aim is to ensure that crores of citizens hear the two words “Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa” and the related two sentences. And in next round, I want to get the RTI2 law passed. And it is my belief that if RTI2 law is passed, then citizens using RTI2 will get most of the other laws passed in few months. Unlike other parties, winning election is not core or even an important part in the agenda. Contesting election is very important because election is the fastest tool to communicate with citizens about a proposed draft of the proposed law. Even if I and all RRG men lose elections, still we can improve India if we can convince the citizens to “work with” RTR activists in forcing PM in signing RTI2 law. Now what do words “wok with” mean? Does it mean collecting donations? NO. I am completely against donations of money. I do ask people to give newspaper advertisements to publish RRG laws, but here money directly goes to the newspaper, they will not pay me or any RRG volunteer. And it is optional for RRG members to give newspaper ads. But the most important thing and only thing (other than newspaper ads) I need from you is your time. Now how much time do I would need from you, and what exactly I want you to do with your time? This booklets explains this in detail. Please take a print out of this chapter.

I promote variation, I do not insist on confirming except one should confirm to labels, terms and definition. If one wants to peruse alternative methods, then I request him to pursue the methods enumerated in this document, along with his methods as well. I promote variation because the method one thinks may be superior than mine, and if they are, more people will follow them and soon they will become well known enough that I will have to add them in this list. At the same, I request the volunteer to spend at least 60 minutes a week on the activities I have proposed as there is possibility that my list of activities is superior than his. Time needed for activities in Set-I is only 1 hour per week. In each row, the first activity will take time mentioned in the second column. But alternative activity mentioned in the OR part would take much longer time, are optional. The activities in Set-II onwards are for those who are willing to spend more time. Spending money will be needed only for those who want to contest elections in Municipal Corporation, Panchayat, Assembly and Parliament. 13.4 List of activities , reason and time it would take time : Set-I Time needed is only 1 hour per week.

ON RRGAhbad 20 The above tasks in Set-I list will take you 4 hours at most, and you may split it over days if you wish. Of course, if you decide to follow options given under “OR /AND “ it would take more time. How do these steps help? One estimate is that about 6 crore people in India have access to broadband via their home PC or office PC or college PC. Of these 6 crores, about 15 lakhs to 20 lakhs are interested in reducing corruption in police, courts and also interested in reducing poverty and to an extent that they would be willing to spend 1-2 or more hours a week. The rest are not interested at all, or at best would vote for someone whom they think will reduce poverty. But they don’t want to spend 1 hour a week for this task. So to create the movement, one will have to depend on getting support of these 15 lakh individuals. The goal is to form a few communication groups amongst these 15 lakhs citizens. I see no need to organize them ; IMO, forming communication groups are sufficient. Please note – I think that a few national level, a few State/District level communication groups are sufficient, we do not have to have an organization. An organization is different from communication group and I will explain that later. So the task of forming and working in a communication groups has following tasks : forming the groups or searching for them, joining these communication groups, reading messages in that communication group, writing messages if time permits, forwarding messages to inside and outside the group and seeking people interested in reducing poverty/corruption and asking them to join the communication groups. And most important is quitting the communication group if the main persons in-charge are not interested in reducing corruption, poverty. The above tasks only consists of joining internet communities. Why am I asking you to join these internet communities? The purpose is to create several large pro-RTR groups on internet so that cost-free communication becomes possible. An ethical and reasonable demand like Right to Recall or MRCM does not need hype and grand shows, but does need a lot of communication. And efforts needed to communicate must be high because media-owners will Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 107 not spend their money to communicate RTR drafts, and so pro-RTR people have no option but to work hard. So we using internet can communicate RTR drafts. Now what about rest 95% who do not have net? Some of the people in these 5% with internet will become more involved and will take the information to the remaining 95% via word of mouth or pamphlets. Now let me explain why organization is not needed and may end up becoming waste of time. An organization is a group with hierarchy and assets. The hierarchy aka reporting structure is key and the members who defy reporting structures are often expelled or at least never ever promoted. The organization not only makes a list of “to-do” but also makes a list “cannot do” and thus reduces efficiency of member. An organization can be also hostile to variations and mutations. The organizations needs assets and significant funds are collected by membership dues or worse by collecting donations . The memberships dues mostly fall short. And so organizations ask members to collect donations. And that’s where the end begins ---the leaders of the organizations have to now accept terms and conditions of donors. The unsuspecting members later realize this, but too much time passes away before this. If one wants to do activities like running education institutions, hospitals etc then the funding and organization is must. But political reforms only needs communication and nothing more. Why? In general, any activity which needs time and money both needs organization. But if something only needs time and minimal money, organization is not needed, communication group will suffice. We already have an organization called as Government, and our goal is to improve Government. To improve Government we need to enact laws like Right to Recall. To enact laws like Right to Recall, Jury, MCRM etc we need law like RTI2 or we need to win 100-300 Parliamentary elections. Winning election depends more on the mistakes of adversaries and is clone negative approach, while former doesn’t need adversary to mistakes and is clone positive approach. And to have law like RTI2, we need a mass movement, and to create a mass movement, we need communication amongst those who want Recall, MRCM, Jury etc. We do not need an organization where people are giving and accepting orders on physical and material activities. The organization will only end up wasting away precious money and time. Now do we need money to run a communication group? Common sense says that everything needs money. But in the model I proposed, the person with internet is already paying money in form of charged paid to internet company. So it is not free. So where is the difference in RRG and other organization who collect money? Well, in other organizations, you have to send money to those at the apex of organization and then hope that people at top will not siphon it away or people in middle who execute decisions but have no glory to gain will not siphon it away. While in RRG model, you directly pay to internet company, and not to any RRG officer bearer. This ensures that RRG activist working with you cannot siphon away money. And there will never be siphoning out of money. Now what about 110 crore people of India who do not have internet? To communicate with some, we can use SMS, which again are free. For rest, we need pamphlets and newspaper advertisements. For this, those who are very much committed to Recall, Jury and MRCM laws may contribute, but pay directly to newspapers not to any RRG member. The first set of activities described above creates a big communication group. Next set of activities deal with attracting mediamen’s attention.

And if PM doubts the credential of the letter, he is welcome to ask Talati to let citizens come to Village Office and let Village Officer verify and record the identity of the citizens. List of activities , reason and time it would take time : Set-III The third set of activities deal with finding more people who would be interested in reducing poverty/corruption via MRCM, Recall, Jury etc laws. Now if you randomly select 100 persons in any country, not just India, only 2% to 4% would be interested in spending time to reduce corruption/poverty. Even though 99% would oppose corruption and some 90% dislike poverty, only 2% to 4% would agree to spend say 1-2-more hours a week in reducing corruption or poverty. The rest may vote for a winnable good candidate or send SMS to support a good law or attend a rally once a year. But they will not spend more than one hour a year to campaign for a proposed law. Since all countries face this problem and many have solved it, we in India should not complain about this any further. Now question is : how do we find these 2% to 4% who do want to spend time to reduce corruption, poverty etc. The activities in Set-III are methods to finds such persons.

Whole Life Demonstrations for Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa aka RTR, MRCM, Right to Recall law-drafts For the next few paragraphs, I define RTR-supporter as person who is willing to spend 10 hours a month to bring RTR law-drafts in India. To such supporters, I have following requestsuggeestio about holding demonstrations : 1. Please spend 5 hours a month on net or person-to-person communication, pamphlet distribution etc. 2. Next 5 hours, please attend one whole day demonstration once every 2 months or attend one demonstration once every month for half a day. 3. If there are 100 supporters of RTR, please do not call all 100 supporters on same day. Instead call 25 supporters on 4 consecutive days 4. If there are 1000 RTR-supporters, please do not call all 1000 supporters on same day. Instead call 25 supporters on 40 consecutive days 5. One desirable goal is to have a city where there are 1000 to 2000 RTR-supporters in a city each willing spend 5 hours a month for demonstrations, and that city is having one RTR demonstration every day consisting of 25-50 RTR supporters. Why do I support everyday small-midsize demonstrations than one giant demonstration a day? Because one demonstration a day will spread the information about RTI2 law-draft, RTR law-draft etc in much faster way while one giant demonstration will only give impression of Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 113 strength but spread no information. My goal at RRG is to spread the information on RTR, MRCM, RTI2 law-drafts etc. And so that goal is better served by one small demonstration everyday. The purpose of demonstration is to approach a large number of citizens who have no access to newspapers and cannot be approached even by pamphlets. The demonstration is a proof of commitment that people are willing to spend time on an issue. It is not utter waste of time as many junior activist believe. List of orkut communities where you can approach politically active persons of your city In general, only 2% to 5% persons are interested in improving laws of their nation. This is true for all across the world, and so we should not complain. Americans, with same small population has managed to improve America, and so we should not complain about the fact only a small number of people are interested. But on orkut, in political communities, over 30% to 40% people will be interested. So approaching them will be time more productively spent. This is not to say that you should never approach people around you, but please do spend some time in sending scraps to members of following communities in your city. Please note that below is just a sample short list. There are many more communities , and please approach members in those communities a well. 1. Right to Recall Group 2.

Explain to crores of citizens that RTI2 is the simplest known way to make Raajaa Prajaaaadhheen And so we must force PM, CMs etc to sign the RTI2 draft. 3. Once PM, CMs have been forced to sign RTI2, using RTI2 clauses we citizens can enact MRCM draft, Right to Recall PM draft, Right to Recall Supreme Court judge draft, Right to Recall RBI Governor draft, Jury System draft and 100s of other drafts These drafts will reduce corruption, poverty etc. Now the 2nd step is trivial. I will elaborate on how I propose to force PM, CMs to sign RTI2. 14.2 What do I mean by Aandolan (aka “mass movement”) First of all, what do I mean by so called “mass movement” aka Aandolan, particularly in the context of “Aandolan to force PM, CMs to sign RTI2” or “Aandolan for Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa”? What I mean by Aandolan is where in lakhs and crores of unpaid citizens are directly approaching party workers, MLAs, MPs, Ministers to ask CMs, PM to sign the RTI2 draft without delay. And the citizens are also approaching CMs, PM to sign RTI2 draft without delay. And these citizens are doing it on their own, not because there emotionally pressurized by activists. The “approach” can be in the form of letters, phone calls, SMS, rallies, gherao, demonstrations, newspaper ads, slogans etc. The PM, CMs may set up a system to show objectively how many citizens want RTI2. And citizens must not take any violent actions till it is objectively established that majority of citizens do want RTI2. So what do I need to raise this aandolan where in lakhs of citizens are asking CM, PM to sign RTI2 draft? 1. I need to convince crores of citizens that RTI2 will benefit them 2. I need to convince crores of citizens that it is possible for citizens to force PM, CMs to sign RTI2 draft against his will and against the will of the elitemen. 3. I need to convince crores of citizens that it is possible for citizens to force PM, CMs to sign RTI2 draft without any help from intellectuals, media owners etc, without help of MPs, MLAs and without waiting for elections. 4. After crores of citizens are convinced that PM should sign RTI2 draft, I need to convince crores of citizens that crores of citizens are convinced that PM must sign the RTI2 draft To attain the last sub-goal, I only need a communication network. And to attain each of the first 3 sub-goals, 1. I need to convince lakhs of activists that RTI2 will benefit citizens. 2. I need to convince lakhs of activists that it is possible for citizens to force PM, CMs to sign RTI2 draft against his will and against the will of the elitemen. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 116 3. I need to convince lakhs of citizens that it is possible for citizens to force PM, CMs to sign RTI2 draft without any help from intellectuals, media owners etc, without help of MPs, MLAs and without waiting for elections. 4. I need to convince activists to spend at least 1 hr a week in convincing above items to fellow activists and citizens 14.3 Are citizens powerful enough to force PM? Or is Aandolan a useless idea? The intellectuals of India have created a false notion that citizens are legless and handless, and are so weak that they can never ever force PM to sign a piece of paper against PM’s will. I need to show that this is a white lie. The citizens are powerful to force PM, CMs to sign RTI2 draft against his will. And also, the PM and CMs are extremely weak fellows – they are not strong at all to withstand hostility of even few lakhs of citizens. In fact, our existing PM, MMS, is so weak that he can even say NO to MNCs and even weak countries like Pakistan openly ridicule him. Surely, we citizens are very much strong enough to force such as a weak PM to sign a piece of paper. Theory apart, let me give some real examples of how successful Aandolans have been 1. In 1974 in Gujarat, about 50000 students demanded resignation of the then CM Chimanbhai Patel. And many lakhs of citizens supported them. And later students demanded resignation of every MLA. Within months, CM resigned and so did every MLA (i.e. Assembly was dissolved). Surely CM did not resign willingly and MLAs did not resigned willingly. The force of citizens of intense enough that CM and MLAs had to do things unwillingly. Hence, it is possible for citizens to force CM, MLAs to even resign, forget forcing them to sign RTI2 draft. 2. In 1984 in Gujarat, some students demanded resignation of the then CM Madhavsingh Solanki. And many lakhs of citizens supported them. The agitation went on for several months. Finally CM resigned. Surely CM did not resign willingly. The force of citizens was intense enough that CM had to resign. Hence, it is possible for citizens to force CM to even resign, forget forcing him to sign RTI2 draft. 3. In 1977, Devi Indira Amma ended emergency. The most important reason was that prisons were over flooded with activists of all age. The prison becoming houseful with activists is a nightmare for any Jailer and PM. Why? Because when police/prisoner ratio becomes too low, prisoners may dare to break the prison from insider. Now if policemen shoot down murders, rapists or thieves inside prison, the citizens will support them. But if policemen shoot down activists with no otherwise criminal record, the citizens might burn down the whole prison. And when one prison breaks, the news gives courage to prisoners in prisons all across countries and many more prisons break. And when prisons break, the policemen at local police stations have only one option left to deal with aandolankaries – to shoot. Because there is no prison to imprison the aandolankari. Since shooting 1000s of people is non-option, when prisons breaks, policemen have no option but to watch aandolankaries like a bystander. This increases the courage of citizens and more and more citizens become aandolankari and aandolan grows.. Devi Indira Amma could foresee that prisons can now break, and if that happens, aandolan against her grow like wildfire. So all in all, it was aandolan or fear of aandolan, which convinced Devi Indira Amma to end the emergency. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 117 4. As a small example, the student’s aandolan in 1991 played important role in forcing the then PM VP Singh to resign. So I have given two National level examples and 2 concrete Gujarat-level examples to show that citizens can force CM, PM to act against their will. One may add experiences of other States in India. At district level, success of Aandolans is more than established. In fact, the so called Procedure of Election is routinely conducted only because elitemen see it as necessary condition to avoid Aandolans. IOW, the only reason why elections happen is to the fear of Aandolans. So how to generate Aandolan for RTI2? It is simple, though voluminous task. The intellectuals claim that citizens are fools and lack awareness, and these intellectuals are liars. The citizens are very much intelligent and aware about their interest – they only lack information on ways and means how West solved the problem, and which drafts can apply these ways and means in India. One the citizens are informed – their self interest will be sufficient to make them act. No push or pull is needed. 14.4 Jayprakash had failed to enact laws before 1977. How would Aandolan for RTI2 succeed? One valid question I face is : JPN had failed to force Congress leaders to enact the laws So those who support RTI2, RTR, MRCM drafts – the task is to communicate to citizens 14.5 The only task -the task of communication So those who support RTI2, RTR, MRCM drafts – the task is to communicate to citizens 1. that clauses of RTI2 draft, RTR drafts and MRCM drafts will reduce poverty, corruption in policemen, corruption in judges etc 2. and mention to citizens that intellectuals who claim that citizens are incapable of forcing PM, CMs are liars and they speak this lie only to misguide the activists so that activists work for NGOs or political parties and do not aim for an Aandolan. Communicating these two points is necessary and sufficient. 14.6 How can communication spread It takes about 20-50 hours of communication time to explain how RTI2 draft, MRCM draft and RTR drafts can reduce poverty and corruption. And to become capable of explaining RTI2 draft, MRCM draft and RTR drafts to others, one needs to spend about 200-5000 hours to understand most of the proposed laws so that he can answer most of the queries that would come in the minds of the citizens. So those who want RTR laws in India will need to seek as many citizens as possible, and communicate drafts of RTI, MRCM RTR etc laws to them. So how can this communication spread. The way a proposal spreads is not different from the way infections spread. Following is the approximate model First (Bootstrapping) Level 1. Using my own time and financial resources, I will spread the information about RTI2 clauses, RTR drafts, MRCM drafts etc about 2 lakhs to 5 lakh citizens in top 5 crore citizens of India, and will manage to reach about 10000 to 20000 citizens in bottom 110 cr of India. 2. Of the 10000 to 20000 citizens, they will see that MRCM is in the direct interest. But they Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 118 will wait for middle individuals in top 5 cr to take first initiative. 3. Of these 2 lakhs to 5 lakhs, some 2000 to 5000 will agree to spend one hour a week in further campaigning for RTR laws. 4. Some 5000 will be willing to spend 1 hr a week, some 500 will be willing to spend 2 hrs a week, some 50 will be willing to 4 hrs a week about 5 will agree to spend over 10 hrs a week in campaigning for these laws. Subsequent Levels 5. Of the 1000 persons who like RTI2 drafts, RTR drafts and MRCM draft, some 900 will forward information to none. Some 50 will pass information to on an average 5 persons in their lifetime. Some 40 persons will pass information to 20 persons each in their life time. Some 9 persons will pass the information 100 persons on a average in their lifetime. And one out of 1000 will pass the information to several thousand to several lakhs in his lifetime. 6. IOW, at each level, the number of persons who have information about MRCM drafts, RTR drafts etc increases. 7. And at each, number of propagandists are also increasing. 8. There are 100s of committed leaders in many new political parties. And about 10-20 of them have reach of lakhs and crores via TV channels, newspapers etc. When they see that 100s of activists are supporting RTR, a few of them will decide to support RTR drafts and this will increase the reach by lakhs to crores within few months. This step will have most effect. But if at all this step happens, it will be only due to continuous execution steps 1-8. End Level 9. When information about clauses of RTI2, RTR and MRCM etc laws reaches lakhs and crores of citizens, the pressure on PM, CMs etc will increase The chapter titled as “With just 1 hour a week, YOU can help in bringing ..” has list of some of the detailed steps one may take to spread the information on RTI2 draft, RTR drafts and MRCM drafts. Those who are pro-RTR can start reading and executing these actions. If PM etc resort to violence, and next level of activities (please see chapter titled as “the Udham Singh Plan”) will start. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 119 15 Dear activist, are your actions sufficient and clone positive? 15.1 What sort of question is this? And what the heck is clone positiveness? The selfless activists in India are failing miserably. Despite years of efforts, food poverty shows no signs of decrease and the corruption in police\judges keeps on increasing. The activists in West have been successful in reducing poverty and corruption in their countries, while we have been failing. Why? The selfless activists are failing not because they are lesser in number but because selfless activists in India are all carrying out insufficient and clone negative actions. So what is an “insufficient action? And what is this “clone negativeness” or “clone positiveness”? 15.2 Purpose of this chapter This chapter and next chapter is dialogue with activists,. In this and next chapter, I will try to show that my proposed method (that activists should ask citizens to force PM, CMs, Mayor to pass RTI2 law) is less expensive and more efficient than most other methods other activist leaders are proposing. But my purpose is not to ask activists to leave their organizations and join mine. My purpose is to convince activists that they should ask their activist leaders to add RTI2, RTR etc in the agenda of their groups. For me, that is faster way of brining RTI2, RTR in India, and asking activists to add RTI2, RTR in their organization’s agenda is clone positive. 15.3 The most important danger Indians are facing ---and most activists leaders are ignoring it If I ask about five most important dangers India is facing, one would say Islamic Terrorism or Naxalism or poverty or corruption or worsening of education etc. These dangers are certainly worth putting in top 5, some subjectivity may be there. But most citizens are ignorant of the biggest danger India is facing – weakening of Indian Military and that it will result into “Iraqification of India” or “Liberation of India” i.e. re-enslavement of India by the West. Most Indian newspapers owners, TV-channels owners and eminent intellectuals have financial links with MNCs etc and so they have agreed not to highlight the problem that Indian Military is worsening day by day. But Indian Military is now so weak that West/China can dismantle it within months the day they decide to attack India. And we have only few years before the West/China decide to re-enslave India. The West/China may not attack India directly but will provide funds, weapons and satellite information to Pakistan’s Military and unleash a genocide in India. Or West/China will best weapons to Naxalites and ask them to destroy Indian Military (which is what happened in Nepal). And unless we improve our Military in next few years, India may become an Iraq. Now improving Military and making it as par with US is easy once a few good laws are passed, but enacting those laws needs activists’ time. But if activists choose not spend time in enacting these laws, then I see no way to improve Indian Military. So any activist whose items doesn’t include drafts of laws/policies needed to “Improve Military” is not helping Indians from the most daunting danger India is going to face in near future. As an analogy, consider a city who is going to receive a major flood in next 24 hours. Then all activist of modern day India whose agenda doesn’t have drafts of laws/polices to Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 120 “Improve Military” are like do-gooders in that city who are doing all good things, but not making citizens aware of the coming flood nor showing ways to survive or avoid that flood. I would request all true activists to shun such agenda and adopt agendas where “Improve Military” is one important item. 15.4 Politics vs Marketing The usual professional politics is where people join political parties or do charity work to influence voters, which would influence the winning in elections and then collect bribes after winning election, or get financial help from the winners. This usual professional politics does resemble marketing in many ways. With hook or crook, the professional politicians or professional NGOs have to lure voters. In contrast, there is “good politics” where activists are working to reduce poverty and corruption. This “good politics” is completely different and often opposite of marketing. In marketing, X is trying to convince Y that Y should buy something, and X or both will gain. Whereas in good politics, two committed and well off individuals X and Y are trying to figure out how poor and victims of corruption can be helped. Neither X nor Y stand to benefit – in fact both know that they will end up losing very badly. Thus good politics at very core is often opposite of marketing. And so many motivational and incentive-based methods applicable in marketing do not work in good politics at all. Some degree of selflessness is essential for good politics, and this selflessness is not at all required in most instances of marketing. Now how does marketing and good politics differ? In many ways, of which I will highlight the most important difference. In marketing, as long as company owner has money, he can hire any number of intelligent and capable people and by having commission based structure, he can minimize the fixed costs. So the limit in marketing is money, not number of committed people. But good politics is just the opposite : the most important limit in “good politics” in any country is not money but the number of committed individuals. Money will be surely needed in good politics, but it is much secondary issue – the most scarce resource is committed persons. So what\who is a committed person? I will take two rough benchmarks : First benchmark : A committed person is one who is willing to work for 1 hour a week and willing to spend 5% of his annual income to reduce poverty and corruption in policemen\Ministers\judges etc with no expectation of money, fame, power etc. Second benchmark : A committed person is one who is willing to work for 1 hour a week, willing to spend 5% of his income, willing to go to risk 5% of his wealth and willing to spend 6 months of his life in prison to reduce poverty and corruption policemen\Ministers\judges etc with no expectation of money, fame, power etc. 15.5 The most important fundamental limit in “good politics” For the time being, lets confine to the 1st benchmark. So how many people in any India (or any country) will be willing to spend say 1 hour a week and say 5% to their annual income in reducing poverty and reducing corruption in police\courts? With no expectation of fame, money, Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 121 power in return? Only 3% to 5% can afford to spend 1% of their incomes, and only 3% to 5% of them will be willing spend even 1 minute to reduce poverty/corruption. Hence the number of persons in India who will be willing to spend 1 hr a week and 5% of their incomes to reduce poverty\corruption is only about 15 lakhs to 20 lakhs in India. This limit, that there are only 15 lakhs to 20 lakhs true activist in India is the most fundamental limit of good politics. No such limit exists in marketing and professional politics. IMO, all junior activists must keep this limit in their minds all the time. And every activist should also become aware that every moment spent on insufficient and clone negative activity is not helping India in avoiding the coming reenslavvement 15.6 Real activist leaders vs. fake activist leaders I broadly divide activists into two groups – junior activists and activist leaders. The junior activists do not want any career in activism or politics, they are not interested in any income from activism and most junior activists want to work part time only. Whereas activist leaders, like myself the author, spend long hours after activism and may have overt or covert political ambitions. Almost all junior activists I came across looked genuine. But most activist leaders I see IMO are fakes. Most activist leaders IMO want to make money in short term or have long term high “bad political goals”. Now how does that effect junior activist? How does it matter whether activist leader is real or fake? Why does it matter whether activist leader is real or fake? A junior activist who wants to reduce poverty, corruption in India can either work independently or can work with an activist leader. I would suggest that the junior activist should work independently, but many junior activists believe that they need a group to work with, and so they often search for some activist leader with a group. Now if the activist leader is a fake, then the junior activist will end up wasting away all his time in activities which don’t reduce poverty, corruption at all. So if a junior activist aims to reduce corruption, poverty and improve Military, then that junior activist must seek out which activist leaders are genuine and which activist leaders are fake. How can a junior activist distinguish between a real and a fake activist leader? One way I suggest is that the junior activist should examine all actions that the activist leader is proposing and actions he is opposing. Please note : the junior activist must look at the actions that the activist leader is opposing as well. If the activist leader deliberately confines to insufficient and clone negative actions, and that activist leader refuses to work on clone positive actions and sufficient actions, then IMO that activist leader is a fake. I request the reader to recall “the most fundamental limit of good politics” – that there are only about 20,00,000 true activists in India. So if all the 20,00,000 true junior activists in India keep on spending time on insufficient actions or clone-negative activities, the there will be no reduction in poverty/corruption and no improvement in Indian Military, and India will become relatively weaker and weaker to a point that an enemy such USUK, China, Saudi Arabia etc will destroy India. So if junior activists at all wish to save India from attack or splits or internal strife, they should become aware about concepts of sufficiency and clone positiveness, and analyze their leaders’ actions. Now how can junior activists know if the activist leader is real or fake? I propose following way : examine the activities leader proposes. What are “activities” and what features must be present in the activities? Each activist leader proposes actions, and he Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 122 claims before junior activists that if a large number of junior activists do what he says then the situation of Indians will improve. e.g. 1. Some activist leaders run schools, hospitals etc. And they claim that if lakhs of activists do what he does and asks, then “eventually” it will reduce corruption in police, courts and improve India. 2. Some activist leaders fight PILs in courts for poor, dalits, women etc. And they claim that if lakhs of activists do what he does and asks, then “eventually” it will reduce corruption in police, courts.. 3. Some activist leaders follow cases against individual small time corrupt local politicians and officers. And they claim that if lakhs of activists do what he does and asks, then “eventually” it will reduce corruption in police, courts and improve India. 4. Some activist leaders file RTI etc cases to find out status of roads, public amenities etc. And they claim that if lakhs of activists do what he does and asks, then “eventually” it will reduce corruption in police, courts and improve India. 5. I am running activism as follows : I have prepared drafts of laws such as RTI2, RTR etc and I ask volunteers to ask citizens to force Mayors, PM, CMs to sign RTI2, RTR laws. I call it “Activism for Law Drafts”. The activism for law-drafts is aimed at changing the drafts of the laws without waiting for elections. And I also claim that if lakhs of activists do what he does and asks, then “eventually” it will reduce corruption in police, courts and improve India. Now most of these activist leaders, including myself, claim that if lakhs of junior activists take the steps activist leaders propose, then one day, poverty will decrease, corruption in police, courts etc will decrease, Indian Military will improve and so forth. How correct are my and other activist leaders’ claims? Can the activities that the leader proposed ever improve Military, Technology, Economy etc to point that enemy will deter from attacking India? Can these activities reduce poverty to an extent that Naxals, Christianists, Islamists etc will stop getting new recruits? Can these activities at all reduce corruption in policemen and judges? The concepts of sufficiency and clone-positiveness are useful in analyzing activist leaders claims. I would enumerate the actions of various activist leaders and show whether they are sufficient and whether they are clone positive or clone negative. 15.7 What are insufficient actions and what are clone negative actions? I will re-state the fundamental limit in good politics I mentioned before : we have only about 20 lakhs to 40 lakhs well off individuals willing to spend 1 hour a week to reduce poverty\reduce corruption. This is a fundamental limitation that I request all junior activists to keep in their minds while analyzing actions ---that you do NOT have crores and crores of selfless activists. Now based on the action list an activist leader gives to various junior activist, the action list may show following traits : Insufficient actions : A list of activities is insufficient, if --even if all 20 lakh activists of India carry out those activities, poverty and corruption will not reduce. Clone negative actions : An activity is clone negative if time needed to achieve the goal increases as number of mutually stranger activists who carry out those activities increase !! Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 123 Some actions require too much communication time : Many activists must have noticed that endless time goes in meetings which achieve nothing. That’s because they have chosen a mode of action, where agreement needs time more than several life time. If an method is materially possible but needs time more than several lifetime, such activity is infeasible. The “clone negativeness” may sound very counter intuitive ---if an activity is perused by more people, time taken will always decrease. But that is not always the case – if an action is clone negative, then time taken to achieve goal of reducing corruption via those activities will increase as more clones join in. This “clone negativeness” is the most important, most commonly occurring and yet least understood concept. Sadly, many actions junior activists carry out as of today in India are clone negative i.e. actions are so that as more and mutually stranger activists follow those methods, time India will end up taking to reduce poverty and reduce corruption will increase !! And very small number of activities, such as “activism for law drafts”, are clone positive i.e. as more and more mutually stranger and unconnected activists execute the actions, time India will take to improve will reduce. Understanding the concept of “clone positiveness” is the most important aspect of activism which sadly very few activists are doing. “You are not alone, and there are many who are thinking and acting like you” – can blessing if and only if you are working on a clone positive action and can be a curse if you are taking a clone negative action. So if you want more people to do what you are doing ---please ensure that your action is clone positive. If your action is clone negative, then goal will only get delayed as more mutually stranger people do what you are doing. So I request all junior activists to analyze the actions their activist leaders propose. If all the actions are insufficient and clone negative, then it is guaranteed that no matter how many activists join these activities, corruption will never ever reduce. Is the goal of activist leader to create ways and means to waste away time of junior activist? That’s a question every junior activist has to ask to every activist leader who is hell bent on executing insufficient and clone negative activities. And IMO, every junior activist should ask his leader to work on sufficient and clone positive actions. And if the activist leader refuses to work on even one sufficient and clone positive action, my advice to the junior activist would be to quit that leader and find someone who is willing to work on sufficient and clone positive actions. 15.8 Two questions junior activist must ask the activist leaders Following are two questions I request every junior activist should ask his and every activist leader is : Question One Say you, the activist leader, have 20 lakh activists willing to work as per your advices, and each willing to spend some time, money as follows : 1. All 20,00,0000 will spend at least 1 hr a week as per your direction 2. Some 50,000 will spend 5 hours a week 3. Only 5000 will spend 25 hours a week 4. Only 500 will spend 50 hours a week Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 124 And the junior activists will not send a single penny to the activist leader but as per your direction, they will spend money in pamphlets etc as follows 1. All 20,00,0000 are willing to spend at Rs 150 per week 2. Some 50,000 will spend Rs 500 per week 3. Some 5000 will spend Rs 3,000 per week 4. Some 500 will spend Rs 10,000 per week Now what action list you (you = the activist leader) would give to these 20 lakhs activists? Question Two Say you, the activist leader, have 20000 activists willing to work as per your advices, and each willing to spend some time, money as follows : 1. Say you 20000 activists who will spend at least 1 hr a week as per your direction 2. Some 50 will spend 25 hours a week 3. Some 5-10 will spend 5 hours a week 4. Some 2-3 will spend 50 hours a week And the junior activists will not send a single penny to the activist leader but as per your direction, they will spend money in pamphlets etc as follows 5. All 20000 are willing to spend at Rs 150 per week 6. Some 50 will spend Rs 500 per week 7. Some 5-10 will spend Rs 3,000 per week 8. Some 2-3 will spend Rs 10,000 per week Now what action list you (you = the activist leader) would give to these 20000 activists? The second question medium scale and the first one large scale. Based on the action list the activist leader rolls out, I would request junior activist to decide if the activist leader is at all interested in reducing poverty, corruption via improving the law drafts of India or whether activist leader has zero interest in reducing poverty, corruption via reducing law drafts of India. Some 2500 years ago, Plato told me that in politics, one must answer the questions he asks. So I am asking junior activists to ask their leaders above questions. So what are my answers? What am I asking junior activists to do? I provided list of activities I ask activities to do in Chap-13 of this book. All actions are clone positive and sufficient. Now lets analyze some possible answers that various activist leaders may give. 15.9 “No need to reduce corruption” vs. “Reducing corruption is must” activities An activist is either pro-corruption or anti-corruption. All junior activists I came across are anti-corruption. But most activist leaders I noted were pro-corruption. In general, most activist leaders who own 80G or 35AC based charitable organizations insist that there is no need to take efforts to reduce corruption in police, courts, income tax dept etc. One reason they say so is perhaps aversion to risk. If one wants to reduce corruption in judges/Ministers, then time and efforts apart, risk is important factor. There is risk of harassment. Harassments can be in form of inquiries, imposing fines, confiscating wealth, fake police cases etc. One of the most damaging step is a fake police case. If British were to act like today’s policemen/Ministers, then they would have filed a fake rape case against Bhagat Singh and used some women’s activist on their payroll to malign Bhagat Singh, instead of filing a treason case against him and making him a Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 125 hero. And if a person doesn’t get deterred by police cases, then beatings, torture, imprisonment and even murder may follow. And the corrupt policemen, judges, Ministers and IAS may even resort to hurting family members of anti-corruption activists. Due to such fears, most activist leaders insist on confining to education, hospitals etc and refuse to support laws that would reduce corruption. Some activist leaders do fight against corruption in low ranking officers like Constables\PI, but most activist leaders oppose the proposals of fighting against corruption of PM, CMs, senior Ministers, senior IAS, senior IPS, etc. And proposals to fight against corruption/nepotism of High Court judges and Supreme Court judges is something that over 90% activist leaders oppose vehemently. IMO, actions of this “pro-corruption activist leaders” is insufficient. The symptoms like Naxalism etc will not go away unless and until corruption in police, judges, Ministers and IAS reduces, no matter how many schools and hospitals we run And please recall the fundamental limit I mentioned before. There are only about 20 lakhs selfless activists in India and if all these 20,00,000 of them are asked to work on running hospitals, schools etc and then there will be no one to fight against corruption in judges, Ministers, IAS and IPS . And so corruption in judges, Ministers etc will remain intact and even increase. So the problems like poverty, Naxalism, crime etc will keep on amplifying and India may implode. So if an activist leader has proposed 100 actions to 20,000 activists in a way that not even 1% of man hours is on anti-corruption actions, then that man-hour allocation scheme is insufficient and will never improve India.. Which is why, I request all junior activists to force their leaders add anti-corruption actions in their activity list. And I request them to spend at least 1 hour a week with anticorruuptio activist leaders. So I request all junior activists to ask their activists leaders is : what laws\activities do you propose to reduce corruption in policemen, judges?. 15.10 Spend no time in changing drafts of laws Several activist leaders insist that junior activist should spend zero time in changing the drafts of the existing laws in India. IMO this “spend zero time to change the drafts of the laws” method is insufficient. The activist leaders who insist on “spend zero time in changing the drafts of the laws” often say that existing drafts are fine, we only need implementation. This is a false claim. Lack of so called “implementation” is mainly because the drafts of the laws are either unpopular or unethical or deliberately worded in a way that would ensure maximal corruption. And perhaps those who boldly claim that there is “no need to change the drafts” have really never spent time in reading the drafts of West and drafts of India. Otherwise, even a cursory glance on many drafts, such as Right to Recall, Jury System, etc would show that a reason why India ails compared to West is because of the drafts laws we have are poorly worded. Further, consider a poor common man, who has no relatives or friends in Govt. Such a poor common man has one and only set of friends : honest officers in Govt or selfless activists or honest lawyer. And such honest officers or selfless activist or honest lawyer have only one set of tools to help the poor – the drafts of laws. Thus if junior activists spend time in improving the drafts of the laws of India, then honest officers in Govt, selfless activists and honest lawyers will be able to help commons in many ways. And so if an activist leaders is refusing to take actions to Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 126 improve the drafts of the laws, then the junior activists should spend at least 1 hour a week with activist leaders who do spend time and take risk to change the drafts of the laws in India. 15.11 Lets change system, but not change the drafts of the laws One of the biggest time wasting method some activist leaders use is that they will claim that they “want to change the system” but openly refuse to give drafts of the laws they propose to change the system. And when one asks for the drafts of laws he proposes to change the system, the activist leader will make 10s of excuses such as 1. Excuse 1: I will disclose drafts after my organization has 1000s or lakhs or crores of members 2. Excuse 2: I will disclose drafts after I become MP or MLA 3. Excuse 3: I will disclose drafts after my organization gets 200-300 MPs 4. Drafts are needed, but right now they are not needed. 5. There is no need for drafts. Drafts are useless, only political will is needed to change the system. All this excuses for not providing drafts are frivolous and some even unethical. First, drafts are must to bring system change and whether proposed change has adverse side effects or not will depend mainly on the clauses of the drafts. If the clauses are mistakenly or deliberately poorly worded, then drafts can do far more harm than good. And so called argument that my membership must swell to lakhs or crores before I will publish my drafts is equally frivolous. To wage a violent war, one does need some minimum threshold of soldiers. But to start a nonvioolen movement, one doesn’t need minimal number – just one is enough. All in all, those who want to change the system but provide no drafts are simply wasting away the time of activists. 15.12 Lets change drafts of laws, but not spend time in learning drafts !! Very few junior activists spend time in studying drafts of the existing and proposed laws that can reduce poverty, reduce corruption in police, reduce corruption in courts etc. The main reason is – the activist leaders are asking junior activists NOT to spend time in studying the drafts of existing laws in India/West and proposed changes in these drafts. And activist leaders are ensuring that activists are busy chasing and discussing petty issues. I seriously doubt the motives of these activists’ leaders. If the activist leader blatantly discourages discussions on drafts of the laws and discourages giving information on drafts to the junior activists, then that activist leader is most likely not interested in improving the law drafts of India. IMO, the junior activist should ask their activist leader to schedule information sessions on drafts of existing laws of India and also good laws of the West. And if the activist leader refuses to schedule discussions on law-drafts, then the junior activists should spend at least 1 hour a week with an activist leader who is very much interested in giving information on good/bad laws of India/West. 15.13 Summary so far Summarizing the above sections of this chapter, I would say 1. The activist leaders who insist that there should be no efforts to reduce corruption/nepotism are intentionally or deliberately misleading the junior activists 2. The activist leaders who insist that no change in drafts of the existing laws is needed to reduce corruption/nepotism are also intentionally or deliberately misleading the junior activists Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 127 3. The activist leaders who give lip service to changing draft of the laws, but refuse to schedule discussions of laws’ drafts amongst their junior activists are also intentionally or deliberately misleading the junior activists. IMO, the actions of these activist leaders are insufficient and junior activities should dump them ASAP. 15.14 More on “activism for law drafts” Let me elaborate this “activism for law drafts”. The activism for law draft means activism in which activists may or may not have a common leader they have faith in, they may or may not have a common organization, but they have faith in a few law-drafts which they want to enact. Their “leader” is not a human nor an organization, but their leader is a set of law drafts. The activism for law drafts is based on an observation that a poor common man, who has no powerful relatives or powerful friends has only one set of friends ---honest officers in Government and some honest lawyers. Even in most dysfunctional administration, one can find some honest officers and some honest lawyers eager to serve the commons. And such honest officers have only one set of tools to help the poor – the law-draft. Thus if activists spend time in improving the drafts of the laws of India, then all the honest officers and honest lawyers who want to help commons will be able to help commons with far more efficiency. So “activism for law drafts” says : 1. if 20 lakh selfless activists help poor via schools, hospitals then they can bring some difference in the lives of at most 50 lakhs to 2 cr poor. 2. but if these 20 lakh selfless activists put efforts in enacting laws drafts that enables honest officers and honest lawyers function more efficiently, then honest officers and honest lawyers using better laws will be able to help all the 116 cr citizens. That’s because Govt has huge setup, tax collection base and lesser duplication. I am a big proponent of activism for law-drafts. I oppose all activist leaders who oppose changes in law-drafts and insist on direct help or election campaigning only. And IMO, all the 20 lakh selfless activists must spend at least 10% to 100% of their time in asking citizens to force Mayor, CM, PM to enact some of the good law-drafts such as Right to Recall, RTI2 etc. And what if I have only 20,000 activists? Then I will I as these 20000 to spend all their time in meeting other activists and citizens and explain the Right to Recall etc laws, so that the information reaches other 20 lakh activists and via them it reaches to all 72 crore citizen voters. In contrast, almost all activist leaders I met oppose the proposal that selfless activists should spend time in changing law-drafts. As per most activist leaders, the junior activists should spend all the time in running schools, hospitals, filing PILs etc and spend zero time in changing the drafts of the laws to reduce corruption. IMO, these activist leaders are farce. Summarizing, I classify activist leaders into two broad groups : ° those who insist that zero time should be spent in changing the law-drafts. ° those (like myself) who do spend time in changing the law-drafts Those who dont want to change the drafts of the laws are all working on insufficient methods, and their methods can never reduce poverty, corruption. We have only about 20,00,000 selfless activists and so the charity alone method will fail to improve the well being of crores of poor and victims of corruption/nepotism. And by putting selfless activists, a scarce resource, on Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 128 “charity only, no change in drafts of the laws” work, these activist leaders are doing more damage to India than good. 15.15 Election oriented actions leaders propose to “change the drafts of the laws” Lets see what activities some of the “lets change law drafts” activist leaders propose. Most of these activist leaders will propose the following election oriented activities 1. They will do charity etc work, improve local governance to gain goodwill of citizens 2. Using goodwill they will gain votes for the candidate they put or candidates they support 3. Their own MPs or by influencing the MPs they have worked for, they will to change the lawdraaft The above method is sufficient. It would change the drafts of the laws and thus enable honest officers and honest lawyers to serve citizens. But this method is clone negative and so a time waste. What is clone negative method? A method is defined as clone negative when more people/groups try to do the same task, the time needed to achieve the goal doesn’t decrease, but increases. Let me explain why/how the method of changing laws where-in winning election is pre-condition is clone negative. It is clone negative, because it is cancels the strengths rather than add the strengths at all levels. To explain, I will need to use some actual numbers. Consider a Parliamentary Constituency of 14,00,000 voters consisting of say 7 MLA Constituencies of 200,000 voters, each consisting of say 5 Municipal Wards having 40,000 voters. Now lets say one activist group comes in a Municipal Ward of 40,000 voters and there they do health/education work or work towards improving local Governance using RTI. Now due to goodwill, these activists will gain, he will gain some votes and may win election and bring more changes in law-drafts. But if one more activist comes and does same work in the same Ward, the votes will get divided and so none of the two will win the election and so their goal of changing law-drafts gets delayed. The “winning election method” has one more very serious and unsolvable 800 year old known problem. Elections in India are single vote and first past the pole. In this system, most rational citizens rightly vote for the winnable candidate who is mostly likely to block the winnable candidate they fear most, and not vote for the candidate they think is most honest, capable. So in order to win, perception of winnability is very often must. Now lets suppose one more activist group comes in the same Municipal Ward and does education or health or improve local governance work. Since both are going to gain some votes, the division will create a correct perception that none will win. So since none will have perception of winnability, many rational voters, who rightly want to block the worst feared candidate will then vote for some other the winnable candidate. E.g. Consider a Constituency like Ahmedabad where say some half of the citizens fear Congress. Then if even if sizable of them like a third candidate more than Congress or BJP, then also the voters who scared of Congress will vote for BJP only. And as more activists come in that area, their dream of changing law-drafts via winning election would get further and further delayed. Now with great efforts, at local level, one clone may be able to overshadow other clones and win the Municipal election. This possible because Municipal Wards are small and personal contact Is possible. So say 2-4 honest candidates who seek changes in law-drafts have won Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 129 Municipal elections. Say they contest Assembly election. At the Assembly level, there are 200,000 voters spread over 2 km to 10 km of diameter. So having “personal” contacts with voters is not time viable – one has only 24 hours in a day. So no clone will be able to each 200,000 citizens. So each clone will excel within his own wards, but do well in other wards. So none will not be able to create a challenge against the established parties. If they cant create perception of winnability, then more voters who rationally want to stop the candidate they fear most will follow some less bad winnable candidate. So while winning election at Municipal level is very difficult, at Assembly level it is far more difficult. And things become more difficult at Parliament level when number of voters are 14,00,000 and diameter of constituency is 10 km to 50 km. So now consider an activist leader who tells the 100 honest junior activists in his group that “How will we improve law-drafts? We all will do local work, then we shall contest or help someone in elections, then we will win elections or influence the winners and then we will change law-drafts”. Then IMO, this activist leader is hopelessly unaware of clone negativeness built-into election system and his method. IMO, the junior activist should realize that some two miles away, there will be another similar group following same method. And they would simply end up cutting each others’ vote shares and never be able to displace the dishonest corrupt existing MLAs, MPs. And in India, there are 1000s of such groups following this “we will do local work, then we shall contest elections, the we will win elections and then we will change laws” method. So they will all simply cut each other, and all will only end up wasting their time. This is why I said that clone negativeness is the most important concept and yet least observed and least understood issue. For past 60 years, the selfless activists have been following clone negative methods and they have wasted away 60 years. 15.16 Attempt to overcome clone negativeness by “unity under one leader” is futile Most activists have felt clone negativeness. They have seen and realized that when several honest activists contested elections, they all end up cutting each others’ votes making it easy for established dishonest parties to win. So many activists do try to form “unity under one leader”. This attempt to “unite under a leader” is futile. Why? Say there are 20 lakh honest activists in India spread over 543 MP Constituencies, each Constituency having about 3700 honest activists. In each MP Constituency there are about 7 Assembly Constituency, and so each Assembly Constituency has say 500-600 honest activist. Lets say India has 20000 groups each consisting 1-2 activist leaders and 10 to 500 to 5000 honest activists spread across 543 MP Constituencies and 5000 MLA Constituencies. Now each group will see that because of disunity amongst leaders and groups, none is able to win MLA, MP elections. So many junior activists and leaders will try to create unity under one leader. And since many will try, each will cut the other. Thus, the attempt to unite under one leader negative. This is one of the worst irony in politics ---“lets unite under Mr. XYZ” is the most divisive statement one can make, because he is opposing the person making “lets unite under Mr. ABC” statement. Establishing “unity under one leader” has one more problem -time needed to decide which leader is too large. The unity under one leader needs trust in that one leader. One has to prove to other that he will be non-corrupt even after winning. And The God did not put stamps Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 130 on people’s forehead certifying whether he will be honest even after he comes in power. Intense question-answer sessions and prolonged personal observations are must before trust appears. This is viable when group size is small in size and in area. But when two groups each having 20-100 activists spread across a large region try to “unite under one leader”, the amount of time that needs to be spent in communication to establish faith is unviably large. Many say that failure to unite is due to ego problems with leaders. That is only partially true ---there are many who put ego aside to serve nation. But lack of trust is real reason. And lack of trust is not due to lack of trust worthiness, but due to lack of time needed to prove or disprove trustworthiness. If an activity is possible, but time needed is twice the lifetime, such activity is as good as impossible. So the activity of “lets find one trustworthy leader, and unite under him” is possible as India surely has perhaps over 10000 of trustworthy persons. But if 20 lakh honest junior activists decide to find and agree on which of the 10000 activist leader is most trustworthy, then time they would need to discuss out is several lifetimes. And so “unity under one leader” is clone negative and needs to too much time, and so it futile. “Unite under leader” has one more pitfall – the media owners can easily destroy the reputation of the leader by throwing false financial allegations against him or 10s of other ways. Those who are trying to unite under a leader are walking on ice floor. If the enemy manages to break that ice floor, then there will be no time to walk back. 15.17 Attempt to overcome clone negativeness by “unity under one organization” is futile What is an organization? Individuals who have agreed to follow a set of laws inside that organization. Most organization will have something called as their constitution. Now in many countries, such as Germany, Govt has enacted laws and procedures which make constitution of a political party binding on leaders. E.g. if the Constitution of a political party in Germany says that an election candidates will be elected by inner party primary election, then Germany’s Election Commission has powers to enforce that such inner party elections do happen. Such countries, such as Germany, also have fast/fair courts to resolve disputes that come in the way. In India, no such laws and procedures exist as of today, and our courts are too corrupt and slow to have such laws. In fact, no law empowers Election Commission to force Constitution of a political party on that party leaders. And even if such law exists in some corner of some lawboook Election Commission has no time and man-power to force 950 registered parties to follow their respective Constitutions. And if Election Commission were to try that today, it would only add 100s of litigation that would take years to resolve, given the fact that our courts as of today are very slow and highly corrupt. As of today, a political party has to have Constitution, and they need to give a copy to Election Commission. The Election Commission only puts these papers in files and doesn’t even bother to put these Constitutions on its website. And EC seldom tries to even read forget enforce these inner-party Constitutions. As of now, when tickets are given in election, EC has one law ---EC will allocate the party symbols to a candidate as told by the Party President. Now even if Party Constitution says that local candidate should be elected by members and even if the Party Chairman did not conduct any local inner party election, the Election Commission has no precedent and practice to enforce such inner party elections. EC simply goes by the letter of the Party Chairman. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 131 So as per today’s laws and practices, the so called organizations are as good as personal and private property of the party leaders. So an organization is as democratic or as good as the leader it has at the apex. So “unite under good organization with good internal rules” becomes no different from “unite under one good leader”, and has same problems. It is clone negative as two good organizations both with good internal rules will cut each other and establishing trust is unviably time consuming. 15.18 Taking support of newspaper-owners to overcome clone negativeness is semi-futile As I explained, an attempt to “change laws by winning election” is clone negative. So to overcome this clone negativeness, various activist leaders try several methods such as “unite under one leader” and “unite under one organization”. I explained why both methods are clone negative as well too time consuming. The third method by which activist leaders try to overcome clone negativeness is use of media-owners. Some activist leaders will try and succeed in getting support if newspaper-owners or TV-channel-owners or other financial heavy weights. Using their support, the activist leader will be able to reach much larger number of honest activist, and thus create a much bigger group than those who don’t have support of media-owners and elitemen. This method will work. But there is a major pitfall – what if the newspaper-owners and TV-channel-owners have dishonest agenda? I do not believe that all newspaper-owners and all TV-channel owners have anti-India agenda. Some may be genuinely good, as we see a few good people everywhere. But there is a possibility that those elitemen have anti-India agenda. But if the activist leader has overt or covert dependence on newspaper-owners or TV-channel-owners or some elitemen, who is anti-India, then it can backfire. I am an activist leader, and I have decided not to take help from newspaper-owners, TVchannnelowners and elitemen. I work with my own limited income from my part time jobs. And I ask all junior activist and activist leaders to do the same – each should have a full time or a part time job and work using the incomes from that job. 15.19 So is there any sufficient and clone positive approach? So far, I have explained why 1. An activist leader who refuses to oppose corruption in judges/Ministers etc, and insists on confining to schools, hospitals, local work is following insufficient method. He is like a doctor who is not giving required medicine to the patient. 2. An activist leader who opposes corruption, but refuses to work to change the law-drafts is also following insufficient methods. He too is like a doctor who is not giving required medicine to the patient. 3. An activist leader who proposes that they will run charities, do local work etc, get votes, win election and then change law-drafts is following a clone negative. He is like a doctor who is yet unaware that the medicine cant work at large scale. 4. An activist leader who is trying to “unite activists under one leader” is also unaware that his method is clone negative and that communication time needed to agree is more lifetime. 5. An activist leader who is trying to “unite activists under one organization” is also unaware that his method is clone negative and his method needs too much communication time. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 132 6. An activist leader who tries and succeeds in getting support of newspaper-owners, Tvchannnelowners and is trying to “unite activists under one organization” may work, but only if the elitemen who are helping him are pro-commons. If the elitemen who are helping him are anti-common then the step to take support from them will backfire. So one after another, I have been de-constructing methods that the various activist leaders in India are using by showing that their methods are insufficient or clone negative or both. So is there a method that is clone positive and also sufficient? If yes, what is that method? Yes. There does exist a sufficient and clone positive method. The method is to initiate so called “leaderless organizationless mass movement for law draft” . This “leaderless massmoveemen (aka aandolan) for law-draft” is sufficient as well as clone positive. I have explained this in the next section. 15.20 Leaderless mass movement for law-draft is sufficient and clone positive Mass movement (aka aandolan) is event when thousands or lakhs or crores of citizens India are forcing Mayor, CM, PM to make a change in the Government. The change demanded can be expelling (or bringing back) an officer or a Minister or a judge, OR, the change demanded can be enacting a law-draft. Of this, the former one, namely change in person is grossly insufficient and I am not interested in it. But demand to enact a law-draft, depending on the draft of the law, can be sufficient. If the law-draft is well written, then enacting that draft can bring several long lasting positive changes in the lives of citizens. One such example is the Ration Card System (aka Public Distribution System). The drafts of the Govt Notifications that created PDS in 1040s were good that the problem of hunger deaths nearly vanished in India from 1945 till today. Another example is mass movements which started for land reforms. The movement partially succeeded and partially failed. They failed because citizens did not create a draft themselves but asked MLAs/MPs to create drafts. The MLAs and MPs took bribes from landlords and created weak drafts, and so land reforms did not happen to fullest possible extent. The “mass movement for system change without law-drafts” have been total failure. The worst example is 1977 where Janata Party was a mass movement led by Jay Prakash Narayan and one of the key goal was bringing Right to Recall. The mass movement succeeded in getting 2/3rd majority in the Loksabha. But since there was no draft of the proposed Recall law, the MPs claimed that they need time to write law and thus spent away 2 years and then cancelled the plan of enacting Right to Recall laws completely. The movement was a complete failure. The “leaderless mass movement (aandolan) for law-draft” that I am proposing is as follows 1. The activists have clear drafts of the laws they want. The laws need not be RTI2, RTR, MRCM etc. It can be any law-drafts in which the activists believe in. But fully written drafts must be present. 2. The activists are asking citizens to ask CM, PM, Mayors or Sarpanch to sign these law-drafts 3. Most important : The goal is not to enact draft via winning elections but to enact draft via forcing existing PM, CMs, Mayors. 4. The activists can use every trick in the book to send the information about law-drafts to the citizens Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 133 The above method is sufficient and clone-positive. And (3) is the most critical ingredient. If the goal is to bring changes in system via election-winning, then the method is hopelessly divisive and clone negative, and throws 5 year waiting period. And if the goal is to bring change in system without waiting for election, but forcing existing Mayors, CM, PM to sign drafts, then method is clone positive and also has no waiting time. The “leaderlessness” and organization-less-ness is important. If the whole movement is under one or a few leaders, then established Indian and foreign elitemen will easily kill, force or bribe out that leader. Or will implicate the leaders in false allegations and destroy their images. However if thousands or lakhs of activists have only law-draft as an item, then the Indian or foreign elitemen will see that killing or bribing out that leader will not help anymore. In the leaderless mass movement, the law-draft is the leader and the citizens are deputy leaders. The citizens can change the draft and thus change the leader. But the leader cannot change itself and later become corrupt. How leaderless mass movement (aandolan) for law-drafts is clone positive The “leaderless movement for law-draft” is clone positive as more people join with demand for same or even different laws, they don’t cut each other but only add the strength. For example consider my proposed leaderless mass movement to force PM, CM to sign “Right to Recall PM, CM, judges etc” law-drafts. I use several actions to create this mass movements, and I have described these actions in the previous chapter titled as “With just 1 hour a week, YOU can help bringing RTR laws in India”. I can explain that each action is clone positive. I will put a detailed explanation showing that each and every action item is clone positive on my website soon. In this chapter, I will explain some of the items. 1. Say I contest Loksabha election where-in my goal is not to win election but to ask maximal citizens to ask existing MP, MLA, Mayor etc to enact Right to Recall over PM, CM, judges law-drafts. Say using newspaper advertisements etc I reached 100,000 citizens and gave them information about RTR over PM, CM, judges law drafts. Say one more person contests election in same constituency on RTR law-drafts. Then due to his efforts, the information will reach several thousand more voters and thus possibility that RTR laws would come increases. Now we may cut each other’s votes but since goal is not to win election but to ask citizens to force existing PM, CMs etc to pass RTR laws that goal had been positively served by both contestants. Thus contesting election to force existing PM, CM to sign a law-draft enact is clone positive. Though contesting election with goal of making the chosen candidate win and hoping that that candidate will enact RTR law is clone negative. 2. Say I am distributing pamphlets explaining RTR drafts If one more activist distributes the draft, then possibility of getting RTR laws signed increases. 3. Now say a group of activists-A are campaigning for Draft-A And another group activists-B comes and starts campaign for Draft-B. Then either of activist-A can subsume Draft-B or activist-B can subsume draft-A or some third group-C will come and put a draft-C which covers both A and B. And the fear that activists-A will add Draft-B, and fear of vice versa or fear that activist-C will come and subsume both Drafts-A and Drafts-B will ensure that each group creates a subsuming draft. And if two drafts remain un-united, a citizen can support Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 134 both drafts and thus there will be no division. Whereas a citizen cannot vote for two candidates I have listed some 200 actions activists can take to enact a mass movement for RTR laws. In a separate web-article, I will explain that each and every one of them is clone positive action. I request readers to scan all the actions and if he has any doubt that any of the proposed action is clone negative, then please feel free to call me at 98251-27780 . 15.21 Leaderless mass movement (aka aandolan) for law-draft will also take less time The leaderless mass movement (aka aandolan) for law draft is event where thousands or lakhs or crores of citizens India are forcing Mayor, CM, PM to sign a law draft. The activist or citizen has decided not to follow anyone and has only agreed to apply full force in enacting that draft. The draft is their leader. This method is time-efficient compared to “mass movement under a leader”. Because one has to spend immense time in convincing a person that Leader Mr. XYZ is a good person. And even when follower Mr. ABC is convinced that Mr. XYZ is a good leader, then it is not easy for Mr. ABC to convince Mr. DEF, who has never seen or spoken to Mr. YXZ, that Mr. XYZ is a good leader. Whereas if Mr. ABC has understood a law-draft, he can easily convince Mr. DEF that the law-draft is good and Mr. DEF can take it further. So a “leaderless movement for law-draft” is more time-efficient than a “movement under a leader”. 15.22 Is continuity a must? In many methods such as running charities or building new political party, everyone needs to give N hours a week on a continuous basis. Break in continuity washes away work done in past. This is important plus point of “mass movement for RTI2 law-draft” that lack of continuity will not wash away the work done in past. Because in “mass movement for RTI2 lawdraaft” the main activity is convincing the fellow activists and citizens about the merits of RTI2, MRCM, RTR etc laws. Once a person is convinced, break in continuity will not un-convince him. Whereas in charity work and building new party, one has to work almost everyday. If there is a break in continuity in one organization, there is a possibility that supporters and activists will move away to other organizations. This is merely an effect of clone-negativity : when one clone takes a break, a competing clone may end up destroying organization he has built. In real world, activists have tens of important tasks. And so break in continuity is inevitable. And activist will work for a few weeks and then he may not be able to spend time for next few weeks, and will be ready to work again after his personal crisis have been taken care of. In such case, when he resumes, capital created by previous activities should not get washed away. The “mass-movement for RTI2 law draft” has this plus point. The main activity is to explain the fellow citizens the merits of RTI2, RTR and MRCM laws. And once a person is informed about these laws, some capital is created. This capital doesn’t get washed away if the activist takes a break of a few weeks. 15.23 Summary I am requesting all junior activists as well as activist leaders to prepare the DRAFTS of the laws they want. And I am requesting them to see if their method to enact those law-drafts is Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 135 clone-positive and time-viable. Of all methods I studied, “leaderless mass movement for a lawdraaft is most clone positive and most time efficient, and least prone to subversion by enemy. In some other article, I will show that RTI2 is the most efficient law-draft of all possible law-draft. As a simple proof, I will request the reader to write draft of the law which he thinks is more efficient than RTI2. And then I will request him to add RTI2 clauses below his draft as a new section. Now is the new draft better or worse in his opinion? 15.24 Purpose of this chapter -revisited This chapter and next chapter is dialogue with activists,. In this and next chapter, I have tried to show that my proposed method (that activists should ask citizens to force PM, CMs, Mayor to pass RTI2 law) is less expensive and more efficient than most other methods other activist leaders are proposing. Because my method is sufficient as well as clone positive. The purpose to explain this is not to ask activists to leave their organizations and join mine. But my purpose is to convince activists that they should ask their activist leaders to add RTI2, RTR etc in the agenda of their groups. Why do I ask activists to add RTR etc in their groups rather than leave their groups and join my groups? Because asking activists to add RTI2, RTR in their organization’s agenda is clone positive, where as asking activists to leave their organizations and join mine is clone negative and hence lesser in efficiency. Likewise, I seldom ask voters to stop voting for whom they voted last time and vote for me. I always asked them to ask their favorite candidate to add RTI2, RTR in his manifesto. This again is clone positive step and hence more efficient.

Such a group will fail to the stop increase in corruption, will fail to decrease poverty and will fail to reduce chaos in India. Now my goal is not ask activist to quit their activist leaders. My goal is to ask junior activists to force their activist leaders to provide the law-drafts to reduce corruption and poverty. Hopefully, I will be able to convince junior activists to force activist leaders to disclose the law-drafts, I will be to see whether the law-drafts they have proposed to reduce corruption etc will do better job or worse job compared to drafts I have proposed. If they are more efficient, I would like to adopt whole or parts of their law-drafts into my agenda. And if their law-drafts are worse, then my next step will be to ask the activist to ask their activist leaders to accept the better points in my drafts into their drafts. Also, moment an activist leader discloses his law-drafts, I will ask him why is he opposing the addition of following section which I call as Section-CV (CV = Citizen’s voice) with following two clauses namely CV.1 and CV.2 as follows in his proposed drafts : . Section-CV : Citizens’ voice CV.1 District Collector If any poor, dalit, woman, senior citizen or any citizen wants a change in this law, he may submit an affidavit at DC’s office and DC or his clerk will post the affidavit on the website of Prime Minister for a fee of Rs 20/-per page. CV.2 Talati (or Patwari) If poor, dalit, woman, senior citizen or any citizen want to register his opposition to this law or any section or wants to register YES-NO to any affidavit submitted in above clause, and he comes to Talati’s office with voter-ID and pays Rs 3 fee, Talati will enter YES/NO and give him a receipt. The YES-NO will be posted on the website of the Prime Minister. The Section-CV described above only enable to citizens to notice the voice against the proposed law if there is such a voice. And the section will also enable citizens to change any lawdrraf in India or create any new law-draft in India. If the activist leader refuses to add the above two section, I can project him as anti-common and anti-democracy. And if the activist-leader agrees to add the above two sections in his law-draft, then his group will essentially become a pro-RTI2 group. I am interested in adding RTR law-drafts into the agenda of existing groups and I am not interested in stealing their activists into my RRG. Why? Because I have neither money nor time to run office space needed to provide meeting and working place to the junior activists. Real Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 137 estate is important and expensive, and will become bottleneck in my plan to publicize RTR laws if I insist that activists musty join RRG. But if I can convince junior activists to inject RTR laws into the agenda of their groups, then their groups real estate will get employed to publicize RTR laws. This will bring down costs by over 95%. So it is best that I somehow convince junior activists to add the RTR laws in their groups’ agenda and not force RTR activists to leave that group. What if that activist leader refuses to add RTR laws in his agenda? Then my step will be to convince that junior activist to join a group which supports RTR so that real estate and communication links of that group can be used to publicize RTR law-drafts. I will describe more on this later. 16.2 All efforts are wasted in absence of law-drafts In absence of drafts, all efforts of activists and citizens go waste – some activist leaders. One of the worst examples is “draftless Right to Recall” idea floated by Jay Prakash Narayan in 1950-1977. JPN claimed that he was ardent supporter of RTR. He surely supported RTR over MPs, MLAs. But it is not clear if he ever supported RTR on PM, CMs, Supreme Court judges, High Court judges, District Police Chiefs, District Police Commissioner, RBI Chairman etc. But one thing was sure – he always opposed giving drafts which when passed by Parliament would create RTR in India. From 1950 to 1977, for twenty seven long years, JPN claimed that he was ardent supporter of RTR, but he never found few hours needed to write the draft of the RTR laws he wanted. In the end, the junior activists who gave time to JPN ended up wasting away all their time. The young activists spent precious years of their lives campaigning for RTR under JPN. Many even went to prison for years. During 1977 election, one of the chief planks of JPN and the Janata Party he campaigned for were RTR. RTR was also there in the manifesto of Janata Party in 1977. And after Janata Party came into power, when junior activists asked Ministers to enact RTR, the Ministers formed a committee to propose RTR drafts. The committee wasted 2 years and then merely proposed utterly useless drafts. JPN never proposed his own draft even after Janata Party won 1977 elections. Nor did he asked students to surround Parliament House and gherao it till MPs pass RTR drafts. All in all, JPN only wrote a few letters to the then PM Moraraji Desai requesting him to enact RTR laws. And during this time, the intellectuals diverted the attention of activists on other petty issues like secularism, communalism etc. Finally, the movement for RTR got dispersed. Decades of efforts of junior activists went waste. But if junior activists had forced their leaders to provide drafts first, and if the RTR drafts were ready before 1977 election, then within days after Janata Party came into power, the junior activists could have been successful in forcing the MPs to enact those pre-agreed drafts. The labor of activists would not have gone waste. Another case of lost war is 1996 election when Atal Bihari Vajpai gave promise that he would remove “Fear, Hunger and Corruption” in 3 years. Lakhs of activists worked day and night for this hopes. Bit sadly, activists did not ask ABV to provide the law-drafts by which administration would reduce poverty and corruption. The labor was simply wasted away. ABV and his Ministers proved no different from Congress Ministers. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 138 The advantage of having pre-agreed drafts is that it if after coming into power, if the leader refuses to pass these drafts, he will immediately get exposed before the activists. The atmosphere at the tip of the moment when a new leader comes into power is very charged and citizens are willing to spend time at that moment. If pre-agreed drafts are ready, then junior activists can take advantage of the fact that citizens right after declaration of election results are full of energy. If the pre-agreed drafts are not ready, then junior activists and citizens will loose that precious moment. E.g. if there were pre-agreed drafts in 1977, then atmosphere on the day of victory was so full of energy, that activists could have easily forced the then PM to enact those laws. And if activists had forced ABV before 1996 elections to provide the law drafts to reduce corruption, then atmosphere on the day ABV won was so full of energy, that activists would have easily forced ABV to enact those laws within few days. But the intellectuals misguided activists and told them that law-drafts are not needed. And so all the efforts of activists went waste. Whom do the law-drafts hurt? The law-drafts never hurt us commons. The drafts do not hurt junior activists and they also do not hurt honest activist leaders. The drafts only hurt activist leaders who plan to evade the commitments. And the drafts also hurt the intellectuals who are agents of such leaders and paid to mislead activists. So the absence of drafts benefit only dishonest leaders and agents of such dishonest leaders. I request all junior activists to keep this fact in mind while analyzing the reasons activist leaders give in not disclosing drafts of the laws they claim they support. 16.3 Draftless activists : an engineer without deign Say you have a plot of say 1000 sq yards and you want to make a bungalow on it. Say you go to an engineer and specify your requirements. The engineer makes you bold promises that bungalow will have spacious rooms, spacious galleries, good bathrooms etc. Next you ask him to provide design and cost estimates. And say the engineer replies “Please don’t bother about the details. Just give me non-revocable power of attorney over the plot for next 2-3 years, and in 3 years, I will provide you an excellent bungalow !!”. No engineer would give such an irresponsible reply. But strangely and sadly all election candidates and their activist supporters gave such replies for past 60 years. All candidates for past 60 years told voters that voters must not bother about drafts of the law that that candidate will enact once he goes into the Parliament or Assembly. IOW, he wants 5 years of non-revocable exclusive representation rights, does not even want to provide the DRAFTS of the laws he would propose !! All in all, draftless wonders are similar to engineers who refuse to give design and ask for land/money. In construction, it is necessary to give design to ensure that design is stable and not prone to faults. Likewise, in administration, the draft-law is necessary to analyze if the draft-law will worsen the situation or improve it. Every activist leaders knows the importance of drafts. 16.4 Draftless activists: doctors who don’t give out medicine names Say you a patient has illness. And say patient goes to a doctor who gives detailed description on the illness, its causes etc and then refuses to give the name of medicine. Is that doctor any good? The draftless activist leaders are not much different. It is known that many problems like poverty and corruption require change in laws, and change in laws need drafts to be passed in Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 139 Assembly, Parliament. And for that drafts is must. Despite this, most activist leaders refuse to give the drafts needed to reduce corruption, poverty. These draftless activist leaders are similar to doctors who do not give medicine names. Just as patient needs the name of the medicine to decide if the medicine has any severe side effects, same way citizens need to see the draft of the law to decide if draft has more sideefffec or more plus points. If a activist leader refuses to give drafts of the law he claims will reduce problem, then that activist leader is not giving opportunity to citizens to verify its side effects. In such a case, he is worse that doctor who doesn’t give medicine. He is similar to doctor to believes in giving medicine to patients without giving him opportunity to decide its side effects. 16.5 It is easier to spread the movement using law-drafts then using leaders as postor boys Say I am an activist leader and I have convinced Mr. A that I am trustworthy and I can reduce corruption after several hours of interaction.. Now if Mr. A tries to convince Mr. B that I am a trustworthy leader and I can reduce corruption, then it will be an uphill task because Mr. B has never spoken to me or met me or seen me. In contrast, if I convince an activist A that some law-draft such RTI2, RTR etc can reduce corruption, then activist A can easily convince B about the merits of proposed law-draft. Why? Because entire proposed law-draft is self-contained and the draft speaks for itself. Whether the draft will have too many adverse side-effects or more plus points is something that activist-B can reason without contacting me (the draft author in this example). Thus popularizing law-draft is difficult initially, but later it can spread itself with much ease. Where as popularizing a person as icon needs too much communication time and will eventually need support of wealthy individuals who own newspapers and TV-channels. This will make whole campaign a hostage of elitemen. 16.6 Elitemen prefer individual over law-drafts; activists should do the opposite The wealthy individuals prefer to support individuals rather than ideas as icons can be broken with ease, while ideas are difficult to break once become popular. So when wealthy individuals spend money to project a person, they have some control in hands. They can later threaten the iconic person of running a smear campaign against him. But if a wealthy individual invests behind a law-draft such as RTR or RTI2, then later he has no means to run a smear campaign against the proposed law-draft. So the elitemen and their pet intellectuals prefer to invest after an icon. But the junior activists should do just the opposite – they should invest their time and efforts in publicizing law-drafts and not icons, for iconic persons can be later subject to blackmail and threats and force him to betray the activists. Whereas no one can blackmail lawdraafts no one can threaten law-draft. And a law-draft will never ever backstab the activists. 16.7 Drafts are only way to deal with “your proposal is unconstitutional” argument Whenever someone makes a pro-citizen proposal like RTR over Supreme Court judges or RTR over PM or MRCM etc, intellectuals will jump stating that “RTR Supreme judges is unconstitutional” and “RTR PM is unconstitutional”, “MRCM is unconstitutional” etc etc. Now these intellectuals have 12 hours a day to improve their talk-smartness (vaak-paTuta aka vaaNichaatturya as they get salary for doing nothing, while we activists have to make real money by Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 140 working in real economy and so no time for sophistry. So how can this “everything you said is unconstitutional” people be silenced? The most time efficient way to silence them is by actually putting the DRAFT of the law before them and asking the, “please show me which clause of this draft is unconstitutional”? Now of course, your draft must be worded in such a away that every clause is Constitutional. But if you do take this care, then intellectual will not be able to point out even one clause that is unconstitutional. And in such case, within few minutes the audience will be convinced that your draft is constitutional and the intellectual is just a liar. But if you have no draft, then audience will remain under doubt. 16.8 Wrongs reasons for not giving drafts I have been approaching many activist leaders over past decade and asking them to give the drafts of the laws they propose. They cook up 100s of excuses for not giving the law-drafts they say will reduce corruption/poverty. I have enumerated some of the reasons and given the rebuttal, so that concerned junior activists can argue against these reasons, and force their activist leaders to provide the drafts : Excuse 1 for not giving law drafts : Commons in India are stupid and wont understand law-drafts Rebuttal : In medicine, patients are not informed enough to know every detail of every medicine. But at least the information is kept on internet for patients to see. An at least doctors are told every detail about every medicine. If citizens are morons and stupid (as the activist leader says), then you are free not put the descriptions of the law-drafts in your speeches to citizens. And do you tell your junior activists about those law-drafts at all? If not, are you claiming that your activists are also stupid and not capable of understanding the law-drafts? Excuse 2 for not giving law drafts : Drafts are useless. Rebuttal : The hunger in India came down only after GoI in mid 1940s published the drafts of ration card system. Many undertrial prisoners got release only after draft of the law which gave them relief was passed. Education became widespread only after series of drafts (legislations as well as Govt Notifications) were passed to make education more accessible. I can give 1000s of examples to show that law-drafts play important role in the lives of us commons. I can summarize all these 1000s of examples as follows : a poor common has only one set of friends – honest officers in Govt ; and these honest officers have only one set of weapons to help the commons – law-drafts. If the law-drafts are bad, then there is nothing an honest officer can do. If law-drafts are good, then he can help commons. So an activists leader says that drafts are not needed or useless, he is intentionally or unintentionally speaking a white lie. I request junior activists to explain him why law-drafts are useful, harmless and also must. Excuse 3 for not giving law drafts : Drafts will enable opponents to find flaws Rebuttal : The flaws should not exist to begin with. And if opponent is finding flaws, he is doing favor to citizens – because what if such a law-drafts passes with flaws? So all in all, drafts must be given so that right or wrong, opponents can find flaws. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 141 Excuse 4 for not giving law drafts : Law Dept is supposed to write the law-drafts Rebuttal : This is a white lie. Anyone can write law-draft. There is no article in Constitution which says that only Law Dept can write draft. In fact, any MP can write law draft and present it as private member’s bill and any citizen can request an MP to put his law-draft as private member’s bill. In fact, it is duty of every citizen, or at least aware citizens, to take active interest in changing law-drafts. Excuse 5 for not giving law drafts : Activists should focus on charity etc, not focus on law-drafts Rebuttal : I have rebutted this excuse in previous chapter. Excuse 6 for not giving law drafts : Activists should focus on reducing corruption, on law-drafts Rebuttal : I have rebutted this excuse in previous chapter. Excuse 7 for not giving law drafts : Activists should focus on improving laws, but not on lawdraaft Rebuttal : I have rebutted this excuse in previous chapter. 16.9 What if your activist leader does agree to give law-drafts? I would keep all my cards open, lest a junior activist feels cheated. My purpose is to convert every junior activist into campaigner for RTR, RTI2, MRCM law-drafts. And this needs communication links and also some office space. And I want to use communication links and office space of existing parties, NGOs etc for purpose of spreading information on RTI2 etc. One of my intermediate goal is to convince junior activists that draftless activist is utter waste of time in reducing corruption, poverty. And so they should force their activist leaders to publish the law drafts they think will reduce poverty/corruption. And once the activist leaders publish a draft other RTI2, I will ask activist leaders why they refuse to add Section-CV as follows in their law-drafts. . Section-CV : Citizens’ voice CV.1 District Collector If any poor, woman, dalit or any citizen-voter wants a change in this law, he may submit an affidavit at DC’s office and DC or his clerk will post the affidavit on the website of Prime Minister for a fee of Rs 20/-per page. CV.2 Talati (or Patwari) If any poor, woman, dalit or any citizen-voter want to register his opposition to this law or any section or wants to register YES-NO to any affidavit submitted in above clause, and he comes to Talati’s office with voter-ID and pays Rs 3 fee, Talati will enter YES/NO and give him a receipt. The YES-NO will be posted on the website of the Prime Minister. If the activist leader refuses to add Section-CV in his draft, then he will end up providing a proof that he is anti-common. Or else, why should he oppose letting us citizens register NO on Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 142 the law/clauses he proposes? Refusal to add Section-CV in law-drafts will ruin the reputation of an activist-leader before all pro-poor pro-common junior activists in his group. And now if the activist leader agrees to add section-CV in his proposed law-draft, then he will become a campaigner for RTI2 law. And thus my goal of using part of his organization to politicize RTI2 will be served. In addition, the draft that the activist-leader gives may invariably have some nodal officer in-charge. I will request him to add clauses by which citizens can expel/replace that officer. If he agrees, then part of his organization will end up working for campaigning of RTR laws. And if activist leader refuses, then again he will end up ruining his reputation before his junior activists. 16.10 Summary I have explained my motives in detail. My motive is to convince important of RTI2, RTR and MRCM law drafts and force every organization to become campaigner for RTI2, RTR and MRCM laws by appealing to the inner conscious of the selfless junior activists. Now so junior activist has to decide now whether he wants to ask his activist leader to give drafts of the laws to reduce corruption/poverty, or he wants to continue with his clone negative, insufficient draftless activism and waste away time. Wasting away time can be fatal because enemy is not wasting time. India is next in queue after Iraq and Iran. The enemy is developing better and better weapons everyday and will not wait once his weapons become capable of doing an Iraq on India and once Iran is captured. Wasting time now may prove to be loss of crores of lives in years to come Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 143 17 Dear activist, aandolan will take LESS time than election-winning 17.1 Purpose of this chapter A mass-movement is where activists are asking citizens to force existing PM/CMs and Mayors to make some changes in Government without waiting for elections to come. The purpose of this chapter is to convince the junior activists that mass-movement for RTI2 will take less time from you activists than time you will need to spend on getting 300 MPs or even 50 MPs elected for your Party. Many activist leaders insists on an election-only approach i.e. they ask their volunteers to focus on election-only methods and don’t ask their volunteers to work towards raising a mass-movement. The activist leaders try convince junior activists that mass-movement is too time consuming and that citizens are all lazy and so mass-movement is waste of time. Here, I will show that mass-movement will take LESS time for junior activists , more time for common citizens and lesser time duration for nation. The only flip side is activist-leaders stand to gain nothing from mass movement. One serious and valid point against “mass-movement for law-drafts” is : we need 100-200 law drafts to improve India and 100-200 of mass-movements are not viable for citizens. So one mass-movement for one proposed law-draft is not viable. But my proposed RTI2 innovation solves this problem completely. Without RTI2, one may say that election approach is less time consuming than 100 mass movements. But RTI2 make 100 mass-movements less expensive than one election. I have explained this later in this chapter. 17.2 Plus points of Aandolan aka Mass-Movement over election-only method The mass-movement based method is far superior than election-only method. The following comparison will explain this Election-only method “Mass movement for law-draft” method Definition : When a junior activist asks his leader “how shall we change the drafts of the laws in India”?, the senior leader says “we will contest elections only, convince citizens to vote for us, we will win elections and with MPs, MLAs, etc we will change the law-drafts.” This method is election-only method. When a junior activist asks his leader “how shall we change the drafts of the laws”? The senior leader says “we will convince citizens to force existing PM, CMs, and Mayors to sign 2-3 specific law-drafts.” This method is what I call as “mass-movement for law-drafts”. Similarity : Election is also a mass-movement where-in activists have to convince citizens to vote for Party-X. In “mass-movement for RTI2”, activists have to convince citizens to force PM, CM to sign RTI2 law. Similarity : The activists will need to approach crores of citizens to convince them to vote for Party-X. The activists will need to approach crores of citizens for mass-movement for RTI2 Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 144 Election-only method “Mass movement for law-draft” method Back stabbing: In election-only method, the winning candidates may or rather almost always become corrupt after then win elections, and so no effective system change will come. IOW, election-only method is prone to back-stabbing, to the extent that I have no faith in electiononnl method. In mass-movement, active ingredients are citizens and they are crores in numbers. And they have no motive to flip sides, and so there is no back stabbing in mass movement. Wait for 5 years In election-only method, the biggest drawback is “wait for election” and this means “miseries will go on till election comes”. In mass-movement method, the demand is to end the miseries as soon as possible. One step forward, two step backwards In election-only approach, there is always a possibility that your party may not get enough MPs to push the agenda. In that case, it is five years of “muddat”. So election only methods will keep throwing date five year “muddat” after every failure. In mass-movement, you inching every day and once critical mass is reached, there is near – possibility of failure. Clone negative In election-only approach, the good persons affiliated with different parties will end up working against each other. IOW, election-only method is divisive and clone negative. In mass-movement, all individuals committed to improve India will support that movement, across their party lines. Thus mass-movement is clone positive. Voter’s fear that worse guy may benefit : In election, it is rational for a voter to vote for a winnable candidate who can defeat the winnable candidate he fears most. So a new party has to wait for long and wait for luck before it can get even one MP. So if a new party has good plans, but no perception of winnability, then it may need to wait for too many elections before it becomes successful. In mass-movement, citizens don’t look for winnability. So there is a good hope that a good law-draft will get attention of citizens. Difference for junior activists: Election only method is more time consuming. Mass movements are less time consuming. I will explain later how. Difference for activist leaders Election only method gives them a leverage to sell out and control. Mass-movements gives them no leverage and no opportunity to sell out. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 145 Election-only method “Mass movement for law-draft” method Difference for citizens Election-only method take less time for citizens – only 30 minutes in 5 years. But they gain almost nothing. But citizens have to wait for 5 years after 5 years after 5 years to make change. Mass movements more time – several days per citizens per mass-movement. But they stand to gain the most. And they don’t need to wait for 5 years or even 5 days. Difference for nation Post election, the new comers sell out and so change is minimal. Every election may just mean 5 more years wastes. In mass-movements, citizens and junior activists don’t need to wait for 5 years. They can work through out the period without waiting at all. 17.3 Why mass-movement is LESS time consuming than election method for activists? The election vs. mass-movement has following peculiar relative feature : One massmoveemen needs junior activists to spend far LESS time than election. The mass-movement will require citizens to spend days and days while election needs citizens to spend only 30 minutes. But activists needs to spend less time to generate mass-movement. Why is it so? How would a mass-movement for law-draft take less activists’ time, given that citizens need to spend lot more time? Because convincing citizens to support a law-draft, such as RTI2 or MRCM or RTR is easier than convincing citizens to vote for a candidate XYZ. So why is getting support for a lawdrraf is easier that getting support for a candidate? Because say in election there are two big candidates A and B. Now say a much better new candidate X comes. The voters of A will fear that voting for X will only help B and the voters of B will think other way. So unless the new party convinces voters that X will surely win, getting vote for X is difficult. There is no rational way to project that X will win when X is a first timer and is not backed by any dominant party. So junior activists need to spend a huge amount of time in rallies, in meetings, in sloganeering, in motivating other activists to create a perception of winnability. As an example, it took 45 years for RSS/BJP to get 180 seats in Loksabha. Why? Because in each election, they had to create perception of winnability to get even 15% votes and creating such perception needs more time than one has in his life. Whereas in creating support for law-draft, the activists don’t need to create perception of winnability – the activists only need to convince the citizens that the proposed law-draft will improve the nation and themselves. This is biggest time saver. A junior activist may not realize at this point. But creating perception of winnability is the most time consuming activity. It takes hours and hours of drum beating to create perception of winnability. If the law-drafts are actually in the immediate and prime interest of the citizens, then it is swimming along the stream, not against the stream. Also, most citizens rightly believe that most new MPs will become as corrupt as existing ones after they get elected. Hence, an activist will have to spend hours and hours convincing citizens that his candidate Mr. X is “different” from the rest. An act of convincing a irrational and Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 146 unprovable assertion always takes many more hours than an act of convincing the right idea and much of the hours will still go waste as citizens are not fools that they will accept the wrong idea. Further note that in mass-movement for law-drafts (such as RTI2, RTR draft), the junior activists are spending time in explaining laws like RTI2, MRCM, RTR etc to citizens and fellow activists. It improves intellectual ability of activists and citizens to think. This information exchange improves the intellectual levels of activists as well as citizens. Whereas rallies, attending meetings with same repetitious talks, sloganeering etc is a waste of time and money. So in creating perception of winnability, the junior activists will end up wasting hours and hours and days and days in mindless activities like rallies, slogans etc. Now in election-only method, citizens have to spend less time – only 30 minutes needed to cast vote. While in mass-movement, citizens will need to spend several hours and even days a week. But then mass movement also gives several times more benefits than election-only. Hence the fact that mass-movements are more time consuming for citizens is ethically balanced. 17.4 Time needed to pass 100 law-drafts is also less than winning one election The “mass-movement for law-drafts” will require less time for activists. It requires more time on part of citizens which is fair equation as citizens stand to gain lot more. But to improve nation, we need 100s of laws and so shall we have 100s of mass-movements for each of these 100s of law-drafts? If one mass movement needs citizens to spend 10 days of their lives, then 100 mass-movements will need 1000 days, which is unviable as people need to work and make a living. Here is where proposed law RTI2 is game-changer. RTI2 looks like a petty modification. But once PM is forced to sign on it, RTI2 reduces the time needed for mass movement from 100 hours per citizen to mere 10 minutes per citizen and cost from several hundred rupees per citizen to mere Rs 3 per citizen. Hence in the RRG plan I am proposing, the time needed to enact 200 law-draft is not (200 drafts * 100 hours drafts) = 20000 hours per citizen. The time for mass movement for RTI2 is 100 hours per citizen but time needed for next 200 laws is mere 200*5 = 1000 minutes = less than 1 day per citizen. And the material cost for mass-movement for RTI2 may be several hundreds of rupees per citizen, but cost for next 200 law-drafts is only Rs 3 per citizen per law or even less. The election-only method at first glance looks even more efficient. It appears as if once elections are won, the MPs will pass all the good 200 laws within few days and so citizens wont need to spend even a minute. But this a pipe dream – the MPs after elections will sell out and so none of the RTR etc laws will pass in absence of mass-movement. So once again, we need massmoveement and so we need low-cost ways to run mass movements. And we are back to RTI2 ---RTI2 is the least expensive way to conduct a mass movement. 17.5 Then also why do leaders insist on “wait till elections”? Now a junior activist may notice that many activist leaders insist on election-only methods. They would insist to their workers that till election comes, the workers should only gather more members and/or collect donations, but must not ask citizens to support any mass movement to enact any law. All these things should done after elections only. I have shown that election-only method is deeply flawed as there is near total possibility that after elections, elected Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 147 MPs, MLAs etc will sell out, change sides and even become pro-corruption. So why do leaders insist on election only approach? The most important reason why activist leaders prefer election only to mass-movement for law-drafts is that mass-movement gives no control to leaders, while election-only method gives control to the leaders. In election-only method, the leaders have control before as well after election, and they can sell out and make profits. Where as mass-movement can be only created by leaders, leaders cannot stop or even control its direction. So most “practical” leaders oppose mass movements for law-drafts. 17.6 Summary of last 3 chapters The last 3 chapters were dialogue with all junior (non-leader) activists. My goal was to convince the junior activists that they should spend at least 10% of activist time in convincing citizens to force PM, CMs, Mayors to pass RTI2, MRCM, RTR laws. So if an activist is spending 10 hours a week in today, I request him to cut down the work to 9 hours and spend the 1 hour saved in campaigning for RTR, RTI2 etc. Because social work is grossly insufficient as it creates no changes in law-drafts. And election etc is insufficient as well as clone negative. Worse, the “win election and change laws” approach will require junior activists to spend hundreds of hours in convincing the impossible that new person will not become corrupt after he wins election. And hundreds of hours will be spent in creating perception of winnability. Hundreds of hours will be spent in mindless activities like rallies, sloganeering, attending meetings with same repetitious talks, attending meetings deal with organizational and planning issues only etc. Whereas if the junior activist chooses to spend time in campaigning for RTI2, MRCM, RTR etc laws, this will improve the intellectual level of activists as well as citizens. And above all, “the mass movement for RTI2 law draft” is clone positive and so every moment spend on it adds towards the goal.

Each affidavit has one Govt Order. These GOs will enable citizens to replace officers some 40 positions at District level, some 40 positions at State level and some 40 positions at National level. There are 700 districts, 25 States, and thus this creates opportunity for citizens to replace 40*700 + 40*25 + 40 = about 30000 people at District/State/National level. If citizens agree to register YES, and there PMCM will not dare to oppose the proposed GO. Next, I will propose to increase number of districts from 700 to about 1200 (not increase the number of states). Thus number of replaceable officers will increase to 100,000 in India. These procedures will ensure that anti-common officers will get kicked out of the administration, and pro-common officers will stay and more pro-common youth will join. I at RRG will put maximal candidates at every level for these posts at District/State and National levels. And I will encourage other members to do the same. Thus using democratic process, I shall try to fix senior bureaucracy, police and courts. In addition, I will try to convince the citizens to file YES on GOs to implement Wealth Tax, Inheritance Tax, abolish GST\VAT etc. And I will ask citizens to sign YES on increase the strength of policemen from 15 lakhs to 45 lakhs, increase the strength of soldiers from 12 lakhs to 45 lakhs and increase the strength of Military engineers from 100,000 to 30,00,000. The MRCM party will NOT rig the recruitment procedures, but will run a large scale coaching program to get its members recruited in police, Military and all sections of Govt so that prooliggarch people in Govt reduce and influence of citizens in Govt increases.

And the proposed law-drafts such as RTI2, RTR, MRCM etc implement this “Prajaadheen Raajaa” dogma. The question before every supporter of these law-drafts is : how to get these law-drafts into existing administration? 19.2 The most important RRG step The most important step for me at RRG is to influence grass root workers of ALL parties and request them spend at least 1 hr a week in informing other party workers and citizens about RTI2 draft, Right to Recall drafts, MRCM drafts. And I request all RRG supporters to approach maximal number of party members. This chapter explains why, and how, and what to do and what never to do. 19.3 Why approach political party members? Consider 1000 young men of say 14-18 years of age who are committed to improve India. Then many of them would have become member of some political party. There will be some, who don’t join any political party because they find all of them corrupt. But most would decide to make some exceptions, and join the party they think is best of India. Thus political parties are the best place to meet people who are willing to spend over 1 hr a week in reducing poverty, corruption. Not all people in political party will be will be willing to spend 1 hr a week to reduce poverty/corruption. But say in economically top 5 cr citizens of India, only 2% will be willing to spend 1 hr a week in reducing poverty. Then inside a political party, the number will be much higher – about 20% to 40%. Thus, an activists committed to reduce poverty will find a much more concentrated audience. Further, when you are at social gathering or any other place where most people are from top 5 cr population of India, some 98% people are uninterested in reducing poverty/corruption. So talking about reducing poverty, corruption in that circle will be “out of place”, and many would object as they want other topics to take priority. Whereas, discussion on law-drafts that would reduce poverty, corruption has natural right to exist inside a political party meeting. So this will enable person to start discussions on MRCM draft, RTR drafts and so forth. So political parties offer concentrated group of committed people. And hence political party member is one of the most suitable person who might like RTI2 drafts, RTR drafts and MRCM drafts. So I request RTR supporters to approach maximal number of political party members, even if the party leaders have shown complete hostility against RTR. 19.4 Please never ask other party-members to leave their Parties; ask them only to add RTI2, RTR law-drafts to their party’s manifesto If you ask a person who is member/supporter of BJP, RSS, CPM, BSP, Congress etc to join RRG, you are also asking him to first leave and break away from BJP, RSS, CPM, BSP, Congress etc. Because one cannot be member of two parties and one cannot work for two parties Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 150 at the time of election. Leaving or breaking away is a very painful choice. The affiliation with political group may seem superficial, but it is not. For a person committed to nation or community, affiliation with a political party has intense emotional bond. There are many who join political party just for money, and they will never support RTR anyway and they are not RRG’s target audience. But there are many who join a political party because they sincerely believed that that party was the best or perhaps the only hope for India and/or their community. Most must have realized that their party leaders are just a bunch of briber-seekers and are no good for nation and/or their community. But just as leaving husband is hard for a wife even if husband is a hard core wife beater, the decision of breaking away from existing political party for a committed person is very hard and painful. And breaking away from a Party is not just breaking away from party leaders, but it is also breaking away from colleagues many of whom are committed to nation. To committed persons, political party becomes as important as family. Asking them to leave their party is not just impolite, but highly offensive and should never ever be done. In short, asking Party members to leave his Party is painful for him and non-option. But asking him to campaign for RTI2 draft, RTR drafts is only asking him to do something that consumes time, but causes no pain. It is an easy choice for him. And asking him to add RTI2 draft, RTR draft and MRCM drafts etc in their party manifesto is only difficult for him, but not painful. By asking him to ask his leaders and fellow members to add RTI2 drafts, RTR drafts in their party’s manifesto, we are only asking him to do something that is good for India. It is not something that would benefit RRG or Rahul Mehta in direct or even indirect remotest way. It does not do any damage to their Party, unless their Party leaders has covert deal with anti-India elitemen. Same way, ask every NGO members to add Right to Recall in their manifesto. So I request all RRG supporters to do and don’t the following 1. Please approach maximal number of Party members and NGO members 2. Please don’t ask them to leave their Party and join RRG 3. Please only ask them to campaign for RTI2 draft, RTR drafts and MRCM draft 4. Please do ask them to ask their leaders to add RTI2 draft, RTR drafts and MRCM draft in their party’s manifesto. 5. Please do ask them to ask their fellow party members to take steps 3-5. 19.5 Suggested points of discussion while approaching members of other parties I propose no set format. The main item on the agenda is to read out present the clauses of the RTI2, RTR and MRCM drafts. If the person is hostile to very reading of the clauses of RTI2, RTR and MRCM drafts, then please approach the next person. And if the person shows interest in reading clauses of RTI2, RTR and MRCM drafts, and if he wants to reduce corruption in judges, policemen, Ministers and wants to reduce poverty, he can be convinced that PM should be forced to sign the RTI2 draft. Next step would be to give him list of steps suggested in chapter with title “With just 1 hour a week, YOU can help bringing RTR in India” .

As far as I am in-charge of RRG, I will not take donations for RRG. So far I have donated small amount (Rs 1100) to a political group to support its operations. And I did not take 80G deduction. That cash donation apart, I never donated to any political party. In this chapter, I want to show that cons of donating money to political party are far more than pros of donating money to political party. 20.2 Contribute towards newspaper Ads etc, but say no to direct donations I ask everyone to contribute at least 1 hr a week to spread information about RTR draft, I will confine to requesting RTR supporters to provide meeting place at their office, give a newspaper ad of their choice that would inform citizens about clauses of RTI2 draft, RTR draft, MRCM draft etc, to get pamphlets printed and distributed and so forth. IOW, I will ask RTR supporters to bear some of the material costs needed to spread information about RTR draft, MRCM draft etc. But I will never ever ask RTR supporters to give cash. 20.3 Comparing direct donations and indirect contributions 1. The cash donation gives opportunity to the leader to peruse activities which are not in the official agenda. Whereas if an RTR supporter is directly paying for newspaper office, giving meeting space or distributing pamphlets then it is assured that money has been spent on the agenda only, and not on any non-agenda item. 2. Why does a leader money? To support himself? Well, most leaders have ample personal wealth that they don’t need money anymore to support themselves. And they are also capable of getting part time jobs. And in case a leader need money to support himself, surely members may give him money as “a gift”, but that would be for the leader not for the party. The main reason leaders claim they need money is to increase their political activities. 3. So in such case, why not directly contribute towards activities rather that sending cash to the leader. The leader can list out all activities, for which members can contribute, and depending on which activity a member likes he can contribute. 4. Another reason leaders claim that they need money is to organize meetings. For meetings, 1-2 persons at local level may contribute money etc to rent ground or a hall. The rest are supposed to come on their own. Also, as TV becomes omnipresent, the importance of mass meetings and gathering reduces. 5. Another reason leaders claim that they need money is to organize rallies. This argument is false. For rallies, each person comes on his own. No money is needed for rallies.. So all in all, I really see no compelling reason for leaders to ask for cash donations – they should only ask supporters to give newspaper ads or distribute pamphlets. But then each one on his own. If they are asking for donations and donors are willing, I have no complaints. 20.4 Against 80G And even when donations are admissible, tax exemption under 80G, 35AC or any other section should be avoided completely. Why? Because 80G and 35AC cause a loss to Govt revenue and thus damage the Military, Police and Courts of India. As I have outlined earlier, one Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 152 of my proposal at RRG is to eliminate sections 80G and 35AC, so that tax evasion that is happening in the name of charity or social service or political service ends for good. So at least, I, as a political party should not use section 80G at all.

The country will be run as per the Constitution of India 2. The country will be run as per the Constitution, as interpreted by the citizens of India 3. The SCjs’ interpretation of Constitution will be above Ministers’ interpretation of the Constitution, but citizens’ interpretation of the Constitution will be final and supreme and above the interpretation of SCjs.. It was because of these decisions, the citizens kept the words Democracy, political justice and equality in the Preamble. And this was the reason why MPs, who were supposed to represent the citizens, were given powers to impeach the SCjs, so that if and when SCjs interpret the Constitution differently from the citizens, the MPs can impeach the SCjs. India’s Constitution borrows many ideas from US Constitution and US society. The citizens in 1950 when they wrote Constitution of India had taken the meaning of word Democracy that was prevailing in US. What was the meaning of word Democracy in US? To understand that, one should read the Constitutions of US states. E.g. Maryland Constitution clearly says that “Jurors (i.e. common citizens) shall interpret the laws as well as the facts”. The Constitution of 20 more US states speak the same. And so does US Supreme Court. IOW, in 1951 the word Democracy clearly meant a regime where citizens make the laws and citizens interpret the laws as well as facts in a case. The Constitution has now been tore apart in High Courts and Supreme Courts. I will quote following example : [Link as on Apr-2-2008] http://www.boloji.com/wfs2/wfs238.htm Fun Place for Sex Crimes The [Marty] couple had been arrested in December 2000 after they were caught red-handed while photographing minor girls picked up from the Gateway of India. The horror story of child sexual abuse by the Swiss couple was told in-camera to a sessions court in Mumbai. And in March 2003, Additional Sessions Judge Mridula Bhatkar convicted the couple. They were awarded a sentence of seven years rigorous imprisonment .... It was on their appeal against this conviction that the Mumbai High Court accepted their contention that if the matter was not expedited, the appeal would not be heard until after seven years, the term of their original sentence. The judge also directed them to pay an enhanced compensation of Rs 100,000 to each of the victims. The gravity of their offence did not figure anywhere in the judgment. Their passports revealed that the couple had been visiting India every year since 1989. They operated in different countries and their laptop was stocked with photographs of children including those from Sri Lanka and the Philippines. Posing as a lonely, grandfatherly couple, they befriended street children and their parents, promising to give Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 154 them a good time on the pretext of charity. Marty (who described himself as a general manager in a multinational pharmaceutical company) and his wife were well stocked with lubricants, condoms and penile sprays. Lily Marty, a trained nurse, would tend to the wounds the children suffered as a result of their abuse. ... But none of this, all recorded evidence, figured in the judgment of the Mumbai High Court. The SC Bench headed by Chief Justice V N Khare granted bail to the two [convicted pedophiles] in an order passed on April 5, 2004 ... . After obtaining bail from CjI Khare, the two wealthy Swiss pedophiles escaped from India. Such bail orders lower the morale of policemen and lower courts judges. They will think that their efforts to get criminals convicted went in vain and would feel sour about the bribes they had forgone. The acquittal order given by Mumbai High Court judge was against the Constitution. and the bail order given by Chief judge Khare to the two wealthy Swiss convicted pedophiles was also blatant violation of the Constitution. Such violations of Constitution happen because we citizens dont have procedures to expel the judges who violate Constitution. 21.2 Effects of such unjust verdicts in society If we dont fix the courts, the injustice from rich on to the bottom 99% of the citizens will keep on increasing. The cohesiveness of society decreases as members of elite throw more and more atrocities on commons. And the decrease in cohesiveness of society decreases the strength of administration and military. When individuals get rampant injustice in courts, they see no point in defending the nation and the society. Unfair treatment in police, courts etc decreases the sense of nationalism day by day, and weakens the whole society, nation every organ of nation such as administration, police, military etc. How can citizens stops the unjust behavior of judges? How can we citizens stop subversion of Constitution in Supreme and High Courts? And how can citizens improve speed and fairness of courts? 21.3 RRG’s demands , promises to improve courts I at RRG demand and promise to bring following changes in India’s court system using second RTI2 as a tool and by obtaining YESes of citizens : 1. Right to Recall Supreme Court Chief judge 2. Right to Recall High Court Chief judge 3. Right to Recall Lower Court Chief judge 4. Abolish interviews: Recruitment of all junior Lower Court judges by written exams only 5. Recruitment of all junior High Court judges by written exams only (no interviews) 6. Recruitment of all junior Supreme Court judges by seniority only (no interviews) 7. Jury System in Lower Courts to decide punishments 8. Jury System in High Courts for appeals 9. Jury System to Supreme Courts for appeals 10. Enacting National ID system (to improve records in courts) 11. Enact a wealth tax of 0.5% of market value of non-agricultural land above 25 sq meters per person to fund the Police, Courts only. 12. Create 100,000 more Lower Courts Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 155 13. Jury System to expel/fine a state govt employee. 14. Jury System to expel/fine a central govt employee. 15. Enabling citizens to replace Chief National Prosecutors 16. Enabling citizens to replace Chief State Prosecutor 17. Enabling citizens to replace Chief District Prosecutor 18. Recruitment of junior District prosecutors by written exams only (no interviews) 19. Recruitment of junior State prosecutors by written exams only (no interviews) 20. Recruitment of National prosecutors by seniority only (no interviews) 21. Teaching Law from class-VI 22. Teaching law to all adults for free 23. Wealth disclosure of all Govt Employees and their close relatives, their trusts , companies 24. Disclosure of residency and citizen status of all Govt Employees and their close relatives 25. All courts records, as far as possible, will be placed on internet 26. The parties will be informed about their case status by emails, SMS in all languages, along with usual postal mails and notices. 27. Every time there is a trial, 20 citizens chosen at random will be required to attend the trial (to increase awareness about courts in citizenry) IOW, we have proposed about 30-35 changes in administration to fix our courts, and attain the goal of “rule of law and Constitution, as interpreted by the Citizens”. 21.4 Enabling Citizens to Replace Supreme Court Chief judge I have discussed this procedure earlier. 21.5 Manufacturing 100,000 more courts I at MRCM demand , promise to create wealth tax for courts of about 0.25% of market value of land on those who have residential and commercial land exceeding 25 sqm per person and use that strictly for courts. In addition, money supply was increased in year the time Jun-2007 to Jun-2008 by about Rs 700,000 crores which was 22% of M3 in Jun-2007. We promise , demand to restrict this annual raise to Rs 400,000 crores (10% of what is now) and the newly created money will be used solely for Military, Police and Courts. Using this “wealth tax for courts” and new M3, the Govt shall be able to create 100,000 more courts within 1 year. Using 100,000 new courts and GOs that change in civil , criminal laws, it would the existing 3 crores cases can be resolved within next 3 to 6 years fairly 21.6 Problems of integrity in Lower Courts, High courts and Supreme Court The increase in number of courts will increase the speed, but we need structural changes in courts to address the following problems 1. Nepotism ---lawyers and aasils who are judges’ relatives are winning cases after cases 2. judge-lawyer nexuses 3. judge-criminal nexuses 4. Corruption in judges 5. Nepotism in appointments of judges Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 156 21.7 About Jury System We propose The Jury System as the solution to first four of the five evils mentioned above and recruitment by written exams to solve the fifth one. Sadly, most voters and even educated people in India know nothing about very concept of Jury System. That’s because intellectuals of India are so hostile to Jury System that they never ever informed students or activists in general about the Jury System. So even though this manifesto is about changes we promise and not explanations, we have decided to allocate pages to explain Jury System to the readers. What is judge system and Jury System? We have 110 cr citizens in India. We have at least 20 lakhs to 50 lakhs disputes or criminal cases a year. If these disputes are not resolved by the citizens of India in short time and if criminals are not punished, the criminals will resort to more crimes and many individuals will resolve to private violence in civil cases thereby causing a chaos. Or perpetuating injustice will weaken the emotional attachment a citizen has towards the nation and other citizens. Such chaos will weaken the nation and will result into re-enslavement. So for stability, it becomes necessary for the citizenry to give judgments on these disputes and criminal cases, and use force to enforce that judgment. It is not possible for every citizen to personally take interest in each of the these 20 lakh of disputes. A citizen can at best take interest in 2-5 disputes a year. Therefore, the citizenry has not much option, but to appoint a few individuals, for each dispute and take their decision as final in most cases, and scrutinize (via appeal) them in some cases. So one of the procedure that a nation has to execute, implicitly or explicitly, is to choose individuals to give judgment on a particular dispute. There are two broad systems depending on how individuals are chosen 1. The Jury System : Given any dispute, 10, 12 or 15 citizens are chosen at random from the voter list of all adult citizens in that district, state or nation and these citizens, called as Jurors, hear the arguments, examine the evidences, and give a verdict, eg in India before 1956, many cases were resolved by 12 citizens chosen at random 2. the judge system : the Govt appoints some 200-2000 individuals per crore of population in nation as judges, who will have term for 20-35 years. And these fixed small number of appointed individuals will resolve the disputes. eg in India, cases are resolved by about 13000 judges and some 5000 tribunals. Other systems use both, randomly selected citizens as well as appointed individuals, are basically simple combinations of Jury System and judge system. There are many other factors, like size of Jury, qualifications, screening rules etc which make one Jury System differ from another. But fundamental difference between Jury System and judge system is : judge system Jury System Small number of Individuals, say 20,000 to 100,000 individuals in India would decide all the cases 20 -25 lakhs cases a year in India In the Jury System, EACH case goes to 12-15 different Jurors, randomly chosen from the district, state or nation. The 20-25 lakh cases will be resolved by 3 cr citizens. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 157 judge system Jury System Many cases go same individuals. One judge in his career will hear some 500 to 200,000 cases and give some 5000 to 50,000 verdicts The Jurors change with every case. A citizen cannot become Juror against for at least 5 years. If a District gets 5000 cases a year, and say 25000 cases in 5 years, in the judge system they will be resolved by some 25-50 judges In Jury System, they will be resolved by 300,000 to 400,000 different citizens. On the surface, this issue may look unimportant ---what difference does it make whether cases are decided by randomly chosen citizens or a fixed judges? But this trivial looking difference plays a huge role in the strengthening or weakening the nation. eg in Florida State in US, total criminal jury trials in year 2006-2007 were about 6000. And so the judgments were given by about 6000 * 12 = 72000 different citizens. In case of judge system, mere few hundred judges would have decided. If taken over a period of 25 years, this would mean 6000*25 = 150,000 Jury Trials where in cases would be decided by 150,000 * 12 = 1800,000 citizens as opposed to few hundred or 1000-1500 judges in judge-system. The sheer increase in number by 1800-2000 times makes Jury System far less prone to nexuses, nepotism and corruption. Jurylawwyernexus is far less probable than the judge-lawyer nexus because numbers of Jurors are too high.. How nepotism or cross-nepotism becomes rampant in judge system To end nepotism, in judge system, a judge’s relative is banned from practicing in the judge’s courts. Now the eminent intellectuals insist that we must accept that this ban ends the nepotism in our courts. Well, this ban does not make any difference at all. Till date, every eminent intellectual I met is hostile to even discuss the problem of cross nepotism in courts. And till date, Jury System is the only known solution to this problem of cross-nepotism in courts. The cross nepotism has become so intense that criminals and industrialist just retain a few relative lawyers and get all favorable judgments and commons simply get crushed in the courts. Cross nepotism is important reason why Acts like SEZs did not get canceled in High and Supreme Courts. Even if culture is nepotic, nepotism and cross-nepotism is structurally impossible in Jury System. It is similar to recruitment by written exams, where nepotism cant make much difference.

This is long time to lawyers and organized criminals to approach the relatives of judges to cut deal In Jury System, 12 Jurors are chosen from population of 5 lakhs to 100 crores. Since these Jurors have only one case, the case is over 5 to 15 days in 99% cases. So first, it is highly unlikely that a lawyer would exist in world who would have be a relative of these 12 Jurors or even 6 of them or even two of the Jurors. And finding him within 15 days make it further difficult. India sees 5000 cases per district on an average and they go 50-100 judges in that district. So lawyers can easily manage such small number of judges using personal relations. If these 5000 cases are resolved by 5000 batches of 12 Jurors each, then less than 10 batches will have a two Jurors with common relative lawyers. In many court complexes, two or more judges will form a cartel. judge-A will give favorable treatment to relative lawyers of judge-B and judge-B will give favorable treatment to the relative lawyers of judge-A. This is what we call as cross-nepotism. Only way cross-nepotism will work is when 12 Jurors of Jury-A and 12 different Jurors of Jury-B form nexuses. Jury-A would favor lawyer with relatives in Jury-B and Jury-B will favor lawyer who has relative in Jury-A. Finding such pair of lawyers, pair of Juries and managing deal within 5 to 15 days is a mathematical impossibility. IOW, while the judge system reeks with nepotism and cross-nepotism, the Jury System is immune to nepotism and cross-nepotism. How career crime increases in judge system due to cross-nepotism Consider a specific kind of crime ---street criminals (commonly called as Bhaai or Daadaa) or any career criminals who collect protection money from small shop-keepers etc every month, openly and fearlessly. There are places in US/Europe with high crimes, but nowhere can one see criminals openly extorting money from shop-keepers. One of the factor why career crime is rampant in India, and less seen in West is the that India uses judge system, while the West uses Jury System. The judge system makes India's courts very nexused, while the Jury System has drastically reduced the nexusproneness in Western courts. Lets see how Jury System reduces the nexusproneness in Western Courts. Consider a mid-level career criminal with a gang of 50-100 criminals. He may be operating in some 5-10 areas. Now to sustain their operations, he and his gang members would need to pay monthly bribes to many MLAs, MPs, police officers, other officers, government lawyers, judges etc and would also need money to hire lawyers, mercenaries etc on time to time basis. All this, means a Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 159 monthly FIXED COST of lakhs of rupees. Now such career criminal CAN NOT always find 5-10 victims that would cover all the costs and give profits every month. So almost always, a gang of career criminals has to victimize 100s of victims a month. In short, a career criminal and his gang-member has to commit 100s of crime a month. Out of so many crimes, some 20-30 of victims would end up filing complain in the courts. This would generate some 300-400 court cases per year. Now this is where judge system and Jury System would create difference in combating career crimes. Career criminal in judge system Career criminal in Jury System In the judge system, say 1000 cases that get filed in 4-5 years against that ganglord. All will go to just 5-10 judges. In the Jury System, EACH case goes to 12-15 DIFFERENT Jurors, randomly chosen from the district, state or nation so these 1000 cases will go to 12000 to 15000 district, state or nation So in order to delay the case to frustrate the witnesses or get outright acquittals, the gang leader has to cultivate nexuses with ONLY 5-10 judges. Long delay in Jury Trials are rare as each Jury is given ONLY one case, hearings are from 11am to 4pm on one and only one case, and mostly next date is next day. And the ganglord will have to make nexuses with 12000 Jurors If the ganglord manages to cultivate nexuses with 5-10 judges, and he can manage an acquittal/delay in 99% cases. So to get acquittals in 1000 cases in 5 years, the gang leader will need to cultivate nexuses with 12000 Jurors. So managing acquittals in even 10%-20% cases in Jury System is next to impossible. IOW, since a large number of cases in Indian courts are resolved by a small number of individuals (i.e. judges) the career criminal have cultivated nexuses and are having a field day. While West uses a very large number of individuals to resolve court cases, which makes establishing nexuses in a larger number of cases difficult to the extent of impossible. So career crimes, such as extortion, in West have vanished. judge-lawyer nexus in judge system That was about judge-criminal nexus. The courts in India are sprawling with judge-lawyer nexuses. The nexus between judges and relative lawyers is now a law than exception. But even apart from that, the judges have nexuses with many non-relative lawyers as well. How does judge-lawyer nexus come into existence? No one in Western courts has even seen Juror-lawyer nexus. The reasons are structural and not cultural. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 160 judge-lawyer nexus No Jury-lawyer nexus Say 5 senior lawyers have 20 junior lawyers working for them. Say they are together taking say 1000 cases a 4 year period year in a district Ditto Most of these cases would to some 20 judges posted in that district. The cases will go to 12,000 Jurors in a year. One judge would get many cases from them No Juror would get repeated Within 3-6 months these 5 lawyers can cultivate nexuses with these 10-20 judges There is no time to cultivate nexuses with even 2% of them. When a lawyer makes a nexus with a judge during the trial of a case, that nexus with that judge will be CERTAINLY useful to that lawyer in ALL his cases which will come up before that judge. Even if a lawyer manages to form nexuses with say 7-8 out of 12 Jurors during the trial of a case, those nexus with those Jurors will be of NO USE at all in ALL other case of that lawyer, as Jurors change with each and every trial. How corruption reduces in Jury System Much of the corruption in judge system is via organized criminals or large corporate who have 100s of cases in a state. These cases go to some 100-300 judges in lower courts. So the big time criminals and corporates hire some 15-50 lawyers who are close relatives of these judges or are otherwise close to these judges. Now in Jury System, these 100s of cases will go to 10000s of Jurors. eg if there are say 100 cases against a ganglord and his members or there 100 cases against a company in a state, these cases will go 12000 Jurors. A nation wide corporate would be having 1000 cases a year against it all over India and would end up confronting 12,000 Jurors a year all over India No ganglord or company owner is capable of bribing so many citizens. So they give up. Further, in judge system, a judge has to keep a commitment after taking bribe or else he wont get repeat business. In the Jury System, the Jurors change with every case and a Juror cannot come back in Jury for next several years. So the bribe-giver has no assurance that Juror will keep the commitment, and very often, due to hatred against criminals, Jurors will still punish a person even if he has taken a bribe. After taking bribe, he has nothing to lose. How corruption in police , administration reduces in Jury System Most policemen , officers come into contact with judges due to years of services. Almost every policemen, officer knows which relative lawyer to contact if there is a case against him in a particular judge’s court. And they have years of relation and nexuses. The relative lawyers trade Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 161 favors for the favors they would get from policemen, judges. And so policemen, officers get away in the cases against them easily. However, in Jury System. they confront Jurors who are angry against corrupt policemen, officers. And they have no nexus with 1000s of Jurors. So chances that a corrupt policemen, officer gets punished are far higher in Jury System. This is why Jury System reduces corruption in other depts such as police, revenue, education, health etc. Global overview of Jury System There are about 17 countries which use Jury System – Canada, US, UK, France, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. Two countries are added in this list ---some 25% of Russia’s Districts now uses Jury System and Japan will start Jury System from 2009. And some 90 countries use judge system. Each and every country which uses judge system have corrupt courts, corrupt police and corrupt polity ( 4 exceptions are Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel, where corruption is much higher than the 15 countries which have Jury System). Russia and Japan too had to move to Jury System due to problem of corruption and nepotism in courts. And so did South Korea in Apr-2008. IOW, if there is anything that shows 100% correlation, it is that Jury System always reduces corruption and judge system always increases corruption and nepotism. Historical overview of Jury System Rome had elected Magistrates and used Jury System for high crimes, which created a far less nepotic and less corrupt regime than neighbors. This is why Rome became much stronger than the rest. Rome collapsed and main reason was that a large chunk of population (slaves) did not have right to vote. After that, in every regime, the punishment was given by King or Lords appointed by the King. In 1200 AD, Britain was the FIRST nation which reversed this ---and declared in Magna Carta that the King’s agents shall only make allegation and citizens (Jurors) would decide the guilt and punishment. This was a historical change , a change that diametrically changes relation between rulers and subjects. The ruler was no longer in charge of deciding imprisonment or even fines. It was after this Jury System, the craftsmen and traders could protect themselves from the arbitrary rule of Lords and progress started. It was only this reason, why craftsmen became prosperous in Britain and some of them later became industrialists. The industrial revolution in Britain was only because of this Jury System – the Jurors protected the craftsmen, traders and industrialists from the arbitrary fines of Lords and the Kings and thus Jurors enabled these craftsmen to become wealthy. The so called Renaissance had no role to play. If Renaissance was responsible for the progress UK made, well, why didn’t Italy made such progress, where Renaissance came first? The intellectuals have deliberately suppressed the role of Jury System in explaining why Europe overtook rest of the world as they do not want students to know about Jury System, lest they would demand for it. Summary In short, the Jury System solves each of the following 4 problems that existing court system in India suffers 1. Fully solves nepotism problem Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 162 2. Fully solves judge-lawyer nexus problem 3. Fully solves judge-criminal nexus problem 4. Drastically reduces corruption problem [A reader more interested in the 1000 year old Jury vs judge debate way want to read http://www.rahulmehta.com/why_jury.htm ] 21.8 The Jury System and the information factor One objection often cited by anti-Jury pro-judge individuals is that Jurors have less information about the law. This objection is incorrect ---both jurors and judges have same information about basic concepts of fairness, right/wrong etc. The one and only difference is that judges have more information about section numbers and exact length of punishment. eg both judges and Jurors know that violence is crime, a murder done with monetary motive is more heinous than spontaneous violence borne out rage and anger. But Jurors may not be aware of specific details like such action fall in section 302 such and such act carries maximum punishment of say 5 years or 14 years or 6 months and so forth. Such specific details are easy to grasp and apply. The pro-judge anti-Jury people do not mention the other point ---i.e. judges progressively get more and more nexused with lawyers and rich, and also take bribes via relative lawyers. 21.9 Other Political parties, intellectuals on the Jury System We want all citizens of India to note that all existing parties’ MPs and all intellectuals of India have opposed Jury System, and insist that only judges will give judgment thereby ensuring that nepotism in courts will continue. We want all citizens and non-80G-activists of India to note that we are the ONLY party interested in curbing the nepotism in judges. Other party’s leaders dont even bothers to mention this problem of nepotism in courts in their manifesto. It is not difficult to see why party leaders and intellectuals support judge system and oppose Jury System. Many intellectuals’ relatives are judges and so these intellectuals support judge system. That apart, corrupt elitemen want centralized judge system and do not want a decentralized Jury System. Currently India has 13000 judges and they resolve about 13,00,000 cases a year. Now say an elitemen is operating in a District or State. Say he has 20 cases against him a year or 600 cases in a period of 30 years. That law-breaking elitemen now needs to manage only 10-20 judges to deal with this 600 cases. If the Jury System comes, he will have to manage 7200 Jurors which is almost impossible task. IOW, the law-breaking elitemen’s life will become far more cumbersome in Jury System. The intellectuals are agents of these elitemen, and so support judge system and oppose Jury System. 21.10 The Nanavati case The British realized long back that their own Collectors and judges were corrupt to core, and population would get crushed to the point of rebellion if their powers are not curbed. Which is why, in 1870s, British enacted Jury System in India. But in 1956, Jawaharlal Nehru and the then Supreme Court judges abolished the Jury System by citing Nanavati case as reason. This was utter nonsense. Nanavati had killed a person named Ahuja. The Jurors had accepted that as a fact. Nanavati was a Navy officer and citizens have tremendous respect for military officers. The respect Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 163 doubles when they see that a young man from wealthy family leaves posh comfortable life and accepts harsh life of Military. And Ahuja was a proven adulterer, and back then when paternity tests did not exist, adultery was considered as heinous as murder. The Jurors were in dilemma – if they convict Nanavati, the judge would hang him (which was exactly what happened in the second trial). If the Jurors had power to decide the punishment, the Jurors would have surely issued some punishment like a few years of imprisonment. But Jurors had only one power ---to call him guilty which may mean his death or call him innocent. The crime of Nanavati was not motivated for economic gains nor Nanavati was a career criminal. And Jurors believed that he did not deserve death for his crime out of anger. So Jurors took right decision in saving his life. Their wrong decision of “zero punishment” because they did not have powers to imprison him for a few years not an error in wisdom. Which is why in the system I have proposed, the Jurors decide punishment so that Jury is not forced by their inner conscious to give “not guilty” verdict when person is guilty, but not guilty enough for highest punishment that the judge might throw. So Nanavati case shows that Jurors took a very reasonable decision, and what was needed was to increase the powers of Jurors and let them decide punishments instead of judges. Despite this, Nehru (due to his feudalistic mindset) and judges canceled Jury System in India without any debate by citing one “Nanavati Trial” as reason. Nehru used Nanavati case as pretext to abolish Jury System in India, and all MPs of Congress, Communist Party etc back them supported him. Nehru had taken this decision to support the landlords who were using criminals to beat the landless. Due to Jury System, the criminals were getting prison sentences and so landlords were finding it difficult to ask criminals to beat the landless. So Nehru cancelled the Jury System in India so that landlords can beat the landless and block the land reforms. 21.11 Drafts of GN to bring Jury System in Lower Courts in India The citizens would need to get the following Govt Ordinance signed by PM. The Citizens should first force PM to sign the Govt Order described in second MRCM demand and then use that Govt Order to issue the following Ordinance. Govt Ordinance: Jury System in Lower Courts of India # Procedure For Procedure /instruction Section-1 : Appointment and replacement of Jury Administrator 1 CM Within 2 days after passing this law, the CMs shall appoint one Registrar for entire State and one JA (Jury Administrator) per District. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 164 # Procedure For Procedure /instruction 2 Talati, Talati’s clerk A citizen residing in a District can present his ID and specify the serial numbers of (at most 5) candidates he Approves for the position of Jury Administrator in his District. The clerk will enter the requests in the systems and give the receipt to the citizen. The citizen to change his choices any day. The clerk shall charge a fee of Rs 3/-3 CM If any candidate is approved by highest number of citizen-voters and over 50% of ALL citizen-voters, the CM will appoint him as new JA for that District within 2 days. If any candidate is approved by over 25% of ALL citizen-voters and his approval count is 2% more than existing JA, the CM will appoint him as new JA within 2 days. 4 CM With approval of over 51% of ALL citizen voters in that State, the CM can cancel clause-2 and clause-3 and appoint his own JA for 5 years. 5 PM With approval of over 51% of ALL citizen voters in India, the PM can cancel cluase-2, clause-3 and above clause-4 for entire state or some of the districts and appoint JA for 5 years. Section-2 : Formation of Grand Jury 6 JA Using the voter list, the JA will, in a public meeting, randomly select 40 citizens from the voter-list of District, State or Nation as the Grand Jurors, from which he can exclude any 10 after interview so that finally there are 30 Grand Jurors. If the Jurors is appointed by CM or PM under clause-4 or clause-5 he may select up to 60 citizens and exclude 30. 7 JA In the first set of Grand Jurors, JA will retire the first 10 Grand Jurors every 10 days and select 10 more using random selection from voter list of District or State or Nation. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 165 # Procedure For Procedure /instruction 8 JA The JA cannot use any electronic device to select a number randomly. He will use the procedure detailed by CM. If CM has not specified the procedure, he will select as follow. Suppose JA has to choose a number between 1 and a four digit number -ABCD. Then JA will have 4 rounds of dice-throw for each digit. In a round if the digit he needs to select is between 0-5, then he will use only 1 dice and if the digit he needs to select is between 0-9, he will use 2 dices. The number selected will be 1 less than the number which comes in case of single-dice throw and 2 less in case of double-dice throw. If the throw of the dices exceeds the highest digit he needs, he will throw the dices again.. Example -Suppose JA needs to select a page in a book, which has 3693 pages. Then JA will execute 4 rounds. In the 1st round he will use 1 dice as he needs to select a number between 0-3. If the dice shows 5 or 6, he will throw the dice again. If the dice show 3, the number selected is 3-1=2, and JA will proceed to second round. In the second round, he needs to select a number between 0-6. So he will throw two dices. If the sum exceeds 8, he will throw the dices again. If the sum is suppose 6, the second digit selected is 6 -2 = 4. Like that, suppose the dices in 4 rounds show 3, 5, 10 and 2. Then JA will select digits as (3-1), (5 -2), (10-2), (2-1) i.e. page number 2381. The JA should use different citizens to throw dices. Suppose the voter-list has B books, the largest book has P pages and all pages have N entries. Then using above method or method described by CM, JA will select 3 random numbers between 1-B, 1-P and 1-N. Now suppose selected book has less than that many pages or the selected page has fewer entries. Then he will again select a numbers between 1-B, 1-P and 1-N. 9 JA The Grand Jurors will meet on every Saturday and Sunday. They may meet on more days if over 15 Grand Jurors approve. The number must be "over 15", even when less than 30 Grand Jurors are present. The meetings, if happen, must start at 11am and last till at least 5pm. The Grand Juror will get Rs. 200 per day he attends. The maximum payment a Grand Juror can get for his 1 month term will be Rs 2000. The JA will issue the checks 2 months after a Grand Juror completes the term. If the Grand Juror is out of district, he shall get Rs 400 per day of stay and if he is out state, he shall get Rs 800 per day of stay. In addition, they will get Rs 5 per kilometer of the distance between their home and court. The CM , PM may change the compensation as per inflation. All rupee amounts written in this clause and this law use WPI given by RBI in Jan-2008 and JA can change the amounts every six months using latest WPI.

The individuals who are Grand Jurors 30 days later will decide the fine. 11 JA JA will start the meting at 11am. The JA arrive in the room before 10.30am. If a Grand Juror fails to arrive before 10:30am, JA will not allow him to attend the meeting and mark him absent. Section 3: Charging a citizen 13 JA If any person, be a private person or District Prosecutor, has complaint against any other person, he can write to all or some Grand Jurors. The complainer must specify the remedy he wishes. The remedy can be • obtaining possession of a property • obtaining monetary compensation from the accused • imprisoning the accused for certain number of years/months. 14 JA If over 15 Grand Jurors, in a meeting, issue an invitation, the citizen may appear. The Grand Jurors may or may not invite the accused and complainer. 15 JA If over 15 Grand Jurors declare that there is some merit in the complaint, the JA will call a Jury consisting of 12 citizens from the district to examine the complaint. The JA will select more than 12 citizens randomly, and send them summons to them, and of those who arrive, the JA will select 12 at random. 16 JA JA will ask the Chief District Judge to appoint one or more Judges to preside over the case. If the property in dispute is worth above Rs 25 lakhs or compensation claim is above Rs 100,000 and/or the maximum prison sentence is above 12 months, the JA will request Chief Judge to appoint 3 judges or else he will request Chief Judge to appoint 3 Judges for the case. The Chief Judge's decision on appointing number of Judges in the case will be final. Section-4 : Conducting a trial 17 Presiding Judge The trial will go from 11am to 4pm. The trial will start only after all 12 Jurors and the complainer have arrived. If any party has not arrived, the parties who have arrived must wait till 4pm and then only they can go home.

Then Judge will allow the employee to speak for 1 hour during which no one can interrupt. Like this, the Judge will alternate case. The case will go on like this on every day. 19 Presiding Judge The case will go for at least 2 days. On the 3rd or later, if over 7 Jurors declare that they have heard enough, the case will go on for 1 more day. If on the next day, over 7 out of 12 Jurors declare that they would like to hear more arguments, the case will go on till over 7 say that case should end. 20 Presiding Judge On the last day, after both parties have presented the case for 1 hour each, the Jurors will deliberate for at least 2 hours. If after 2 hours, over 7 Jurors say that they need no more deliberation, the Judge will ask each to declare his verdict. 21 Grand Jurors In case a Juror or a party does not show up or shows up late, the Grand Jurors after 3 months will decide the fine, which can be up to Rs 5000 or 5% of his wealth, whichever is higher. 22 Presiding Judge In case of fine, each Juror will state the fine he thinks is appropriate, and MUST be less than the legal limit. If it is higher than legal limit, the Judge shall take it as legal limit. The Judge will arrange the fine amounts stated in increasing order, and take the 3rd highest fine, i.e. fine that is approved by over 8 out of 12 Jurors, as the fine collectively imposed by the Jury. 22 Presiding Judge In case of prison sentence, the Judge will arrange the sentence lengths cited by Jurors which must be below the maximum sentence as stated in the Law accused is charged with breaking, in increasing order. And the Judge will take the 3rd highest sentence i.e. prison sentence approved by over 8 out 12 Jurors, as the prison sentence collectively decided by the Jury. Section-5 : The judgment, execution and appeal 23 District Police Chief The District Police Chief or policemen designated by him will execute the fine and/or imprisonments as given by the Judge and approved by the Jurors. 24 District Police Chief If 4 or more Jurors do NOT ask for any confiscation or fine or prison sentence, the Judge will declare the accused as innocent and the District Police Chief will take no action against him. 25 Accused, Complainer Either party will have 30 days to appeal against the verdict in the State's High Court or the Supreme Court of India.

Force existing PM, CM and Mayors to sign the RTI2 law 2. Using RTI2, force PM to sign Right to Recall over PM law 3. Using RTI2, force PM to sign Right to Recall over SC-Cj law 4. Using RTI2, force PM to issue Jury System Draft as above 21.13 Drafts of GNs to bring Jury System in High Courts and Supreme Court The drafts of these GNs at http://www.rahulmehta.com/improve_courts.htm 21.14 Reducing nepotism in appointment of judges I at Right to Recall Group demand and promise that all the judges in District and High Courts should be recruited by written exams only and no interviews would be taken. The interview is a technique through which judges have ensured that their relatives, close friends and close friends’ relative get selected. In Supreme Courts, the judges should be recruited strictly via seniority and there should be no interviews. If a wrong person becomes judge, the citizens will/may expel him , but the judges should have no control over who shall become the judge. In Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 169 addition, the replacement procedures my Right to Recall Group proposes are immune to nepotism. No one can be relative of lakhs of citizens who were going to give Approvals. 21.15 Teaching Law to entire population and other changes I at Right to Recall Group promise to teach law to all students in class-VI onwards or earlier if the parents approve. In addition, all adults will be taught law via evening classes, Doordarshan, All India Radio and other means. Universal weapon education and universal law education are two of my demands, promises. The drafts of the Govt Ordinances to implement Law Education System and other changes are on our website http://www.rahulmehta.com/improve_courts.htm 21.16 Ku-buddheejeevies will support corruption in judges Would intellectuals (aka buddhijeevee or ku-buddhijeevi) oppose corruption in judges? Well, till date, I have not come across even one intellectual who demanded resignation of any defunct Supreme Court justice (except a Dalit Justice). Even when Honorable Justice Khare gave bail to pedophiles convicted by Lower Court, the intellectuals I met said that they will never find time to read the judgment and then added that they support continuation of Justice Khare in office and oppose his impeachment. Even when several Justices got tainted in Ghaziabad Provident Fund scam, intellectuals refused to demand impeachment of those Honorable Justices. IMO, intellectuals have too many close relatives in judocracy. Which is why they want corruption in Judocracy to continue. And IMO, intellectuals are themselves corrupt as well as coward. To give an example, I will cite the event that happened in Supreme Court of Hastinapur some 5000 years ago. As Dr. Ved Vyas says, some 5000 years, Supreme Court of Hastinapur was under the then Chief Justice Honorable Justice Dhritrashtra. Honorable Chief Justice Dhritrashtra has appointed his son Honorable Justice Duryodhan as “Crown Chief Justice”. Justice Duryodhan molested a common woman Draupadi right in the Supreme Court of Hastinapur, right before Honorable Justice Bhishma, Honorable Justice Dhritrashtra, Prof. Dr. Dronacharya et al. Prof Dr. Dronacharya was back then Vice Chancellor of Hastinapur University and may have been owning his own self-financed colleges. When Honorable Justice Duryodhan molested Draupadi, Prof Dr. Dronacharya supported Justice Duryodhan, he did not oppose it at all. Even later, after the incident, Prof Dr. Dronacharya did not ask Honorable Justice Dhritrashtra to imprison Honorable Justice Duryodhan or else he would resign and leave Hastinapur. Why did Prof Dr Dronacharya support Honorable Justice Duryodhan? A cursory investigation into motives of Prof Dr Dronacharya would answer why. Prof Dronacharya was worried that Justice Dhritrashtra may expel him from post of Vice Chancellor of Hastinapur University and may also investigate his self-financed colleges. Further, he could have been worried that Justice Dhritrashtra can imprison him for the Eklavya incident, when he had committed atrocities on a Tribal who was also a minor. Prof Dr Dronacharya had asked Eklavya to cut his thumb, and did not bother to ask Eklavya’s parents, which was mandatory as Eklavya was a minor. So because of money and fear. Prof. Dr. Dronacharya supported Honorable Justice Duryodhan’s act of molesting Draupadi, he did not oppose it and did not demand expulsion of Justice Duryodhan.

So what would intellectuals of Kal Yug do? They will step ahead and blame Draupadi to protect Honorable Justice Duryodhan. Which is what we see today. When asked about corruption and nepotism in judges, intellectuals today blame us citizens of this problem !! All in all, my statement to activists is that do not ask or wait for intellectuals to take part in actions needed to reduce corruption and nepotism in Justices. The intellectuals will keep insisting on alternate agendas and insist that problem of corruption/nepotism in Honorable Justices must never be attempted. IMO, it is time activists openly shun these intellectuals and follow their own instincts only. 21.17 Other party’s and intellectuals stand on Improving Courts The leaders of other parties and all intellectuals are simply hostile to improve courts. Every party’s leaders have refused to increase the number of courts. They are openly hostile to Jury System and insist that judgments must be given by judges only as we commons are morons. They also oppose enacting procedures by which we commons can replace judges. Almost all party’s leaders have refused to even discuss the issue of nepotism, corruption in courts, forget solving it. We request all citizens to ask their favorite party’s leaders on this issue of fewer courts, nepotism in judges, corruption in judges and are worth voting for. And we request activists to ask intellectuals on this issue, and decide if they are worth following. 21.18 Questions 1. Consider a lawyer who practices in one city with 10 courts and files 30 cases a year. Say a judges’ term is 4 years. How many judges will he meet in 10 years? How many Jurors will be come across in 10 years? 2. Consider a state with 5 cr citizens. Say 100,000 cases are filed in a year. If one judge can resolve 80 cases a year, how many judges would that state need? And how many cases that judge would resolve in his 30 year career? If Jurors are used, how many Jurors would be used in that period of 30 years? [Following questions require 12th class knowledge of Probability Theory. Use calculator or Excel as needed] 3. Consider District-A which has recruited 1000 judges to solve 80000 cases a year for next 30 years. Consider the probability of judge becoming corrupt from non-corrupt as 0.001 in each case, but once he becomes corrupt, assume that chances that he will take bribes are now 0.2 . Then what % of cases in first year will show corruption? Calculate the number for each of the next 30 years in District-A 4. Consider District-B which has decided to use Jury System for 8000 cases a year. Say a Juror is corrupt with probability of 0.2. The verdict will be corrupt only if 4 or more Jurors are corrupt. So what $ of verdict each year will be corrupt in District-B? 5. Consider District-A which has recruited 100 judges to solve 8000 cases a year for next 30 years. Consider the probability of judge being non-corrupt as 0.001 if all lawyers and aasils are not relative and 25% if lawyers are judges’ relatives. How many cases a year will contain corruption? 6. Consider a career criminal who commits 20 crimes a year. Say possibility of getting caught and punished is 10%. Then after 5 years, what the chances that he is still not imprisoned?

If one court disposes say 80 cases a year, how many years would it take for the lower courts to dispose the cases? 14. Whose discretion is used in deciding new SCjs? 15. Whose discretion is used in deciding new HCjs in a state? 16. What % of existing HCjs in your State have father or immediate uncle as an HCj or SCj? 17. What is Coroner’s Jury in West?

Enact procedure by which we commons can replace District Police Commissioner. The description of the procedure is given in next section and the draft of the Govt Notification needed 2. Jury System over Policemen : Empowering citizens to expel/fine a policeman. 3. Using wealth tax over land, triple the number of policemen 4. Using wealth tax over land, double the salaries of policemen 5. National-ID system to improve recording keeping and track criminals. 6. Computerization all crime records and all police stations 7. Disclosure of wealth of all policemen from Constables to DIG and their close relatives on internet. Now how do I propose to bring these changes? I suggest to citizens that they should force PM to sign RTI2 law and thereafter, using YESes of crores of citizens, we should force CMs and PM to issue all the above laws. 22.2 Proposed Right to Recall District Police Commissioner I explained in the first chapters why corruption in US police is low, and the main reason is that citizens in US have procedures by which they can expel District Police Chief. I have proposed RTR (Right to Recall) over 200 positions. All procedures I have proposed use open voting. But for District Police Commissioner, I have proposed one additional procedure which uses confidential voting. I have proposed following procedure to propose to replace District Police Chief , which is based on what I call as co-election : 1. The CM shall appoint District Police Chief for a term of 4 years as he does today 2. Whenever there is an election in the district, be election of MP or MLA or Panchayat members or PM or CM or District Mayor, any person who has served as class-I officer in Govt or served in Military in JCO position or [… meets a list of qualifications] … wants to become District Police Chief, he can put himself as candidate for deposit same as MP 3. If any candidate gets vote of over 50% of all voters, not just who voted, then that candidate shall become new District Police Chief for 4 years 4. With approval of over 50% of all citizen-voters in the State, the CM can suspend the DPC for 4 years and appoint a person of his choice as DPC 5. With approval of over 50% of all citizen-voters in India, the PM can suspend all the DPCs in a state for 4 years and appoint persons of his choice as DPCs in that state. The above procedure will reduce corruption in District Police Chief’s office and will also make Police Chief take time to ensure that no one else is taking bribes or acting in inefficient and atrocious ways.

CV.2 Talati aka Patwari If a citizen wants to register his opposition to this law or any clause of this law or wants to register any support to affidavit filed in the above clause, then he may register his YES/No for a Rs 3 fee at Patwari’s office. The Patwari will note the citizen’s YES/NO and will also post the citizen’s YES/NO on PM’s website. 22.3 Coroner’s Inquest (or Coroner’s Court or Coroner’s Jury) Why is police of West much less corrupt and atrocious than that in India? Well, lets ask this question differently. Since when/why did policemen of West were forced to reduced corruption and atrocities? In around 800 AD, the citizens of UK were able to force King to conduct Inquest (i.e. Inquiry) every time a policemen was involved in death of a common or a major crime. In case of death, the Inquiry was compulsory and in case of other allegations, like beating or bribery, it was optional. The inquiry was conducted by King’s officer who almost always had nexuses, relation with local police chief and other policemen, and so inquiries used to be farce. The situation is similar to today. Almost always, when there is a death in police custody, an inquiry is conducted by Magistrate or higher raking authority such as District judge or sometimes commission of retired HCj. But the in-charge of these inquiries often have nexuses with IPS and so nothing serious happens. The inquest was called Coroner’s Inquest, the word Coroner meaning Crown i.e. the King. The true activists of UK realized that if the inquiry is headed by officer appointed by the King, such inquiry is nothing but farce. So the activists around 950 AD forced the King to make a change ---6 to 12 citizens chosen at random from the district’s adult population will ask questions and will decide. Each of the Jurors would give one of the three verdicts on the accused policemen’s actions ---justifiable, excusable or criminal. If the Jurors vote his action as criminal, he is almost always expelled and subsequent trial decides prison sentence. The sentence is decided by a next formal Jury Trial. In the inquest, the Jurors are allowed to ask questions and any citizen is allowed to speak, even if he is not a direct witness. IOW, the Coroner’s Inquest by around 950 AD in UK was no longer an Inquiry by Crown, but it was Inquiry by the Citizens. This Citizen’s Inquiry was the turning point in behavior of policemen, Now it was no longer possible for policemen to have nexuses with those in-charge of inquiry or their relatives, and these in-charge were 12 citizens chosen at random from a Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 175 population of 1000s or lakhs. So policemen before committing any atrocity would think ten times and the citizens in-charge were not likely to show much mercy borne out of nexuses. What do intellectuals of India say about this procedure of “Inquiry by Citizens”? Well, The intellectuals of India have openly refused to even inform their students about this procedure !! Lest they would demand for this procedure. The intellectuals oppose “Citizens’ Inquiry” as this would reduce elitemen’s hold over policemen, and so policemen would commit less atrocities on commons if and when elitemen need. So the intellectuals, who are all agents of elitemen, opposed this Citizens’ Inquiry procedure. After all, information about choices can create a demand for choices. And instead they have filled poison in the minds of students that Indian citizen is a crook, irrational, nutcase, foolish, casteist, communalist, uncivilized, cruel etc and so must not have any such powers. So even in case a student learns about this procedure, he will most likely reject it due the anti-citizen poison intellectuals have filled in their brains by the intellectuals. Sadly, due to the intellectuals disinformation and brain-washing, the non-80G-activists did not demand any procedure like Citizens’ Inquiry and so police atrocities are rock high in India. And corruption is proportional to atrocities i.e. more the demand for money, more the atrocities policemen commit, and the main reason they have to beat up people is to extort bribes. The West using Citizens’ Inquiry procedure zeroed atrocities and so corruption also reduced. (see http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9026387/coroners-jury and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coroner ) We at MRCM demand and support a procedure similar to above, which we shall refer as “Jury Trial over Policemen”. 22.4 Description of the proposed Jury System over Policemen The procedure we propose is similar to Coroner’s Jury System as practiced in UK, US for past 100s of years. 1. For each District, the District Police Chief will form a Grand Jury consisting of 25 citizen voters above 25 years. The members will be randomly chosen from voter list and will serve for 2 weeks. 2. If any citizen has complaint against a policeman, he can file the complaint before the Grand Jurors. The Grand Jurors may or may not call him for the explanation, The Grand Jurors may or may not the accused policeman for explanation. 3. If over 13 Grand Jurors say that the policeman is prima facie guilty, then The District Collector will summon 15 citizens from District, who will hear both sides for at least 7 days 4. After 7 days, if over 8 out of 15 citizens decide that the accused policeman should be expelled, the District Police Chief will give the case to Home Minister. 5. The Home Minister will summon 15 citizens from state other than that district. If over 8 citizens agree that the accused policeman should be expelled, the Home Secretary will expel him. Otherwise, Home Minister will transfer him to a randomly chosen District of that state, other then the District he has served before. 22.5 Drafts of the other proposed GNs The drafts of the suggested GNs are on http://rahulmehta.com/improve_police.htm Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 176 22.6 On Supreme Court’s recent order to improve Police Dept The SCjs have categorically refused to let citizens decide the fate of District Police Chief and errant policemen. They have not supported procedures by which we commons can expel District Police Chief, nor have SCjs supported any procedure similar to Coroner’s Jury used by West. The SCjs want a police board consisting of intellectuals, retired judges, senior IPS officers etc. The common citizens are specifically excluded from the police board proposed by SCjs. In the Police Board proposed by SCjs, we commons have no procedure to expel/replace board members at all. So it is clear that these boar members will work like agents of elitemen and will beat us commons. Is that all what SCjs want? I see no point in asking such simple question. Due to election, reservation and gradual increase in education, the number of OBC policemen and OBC MLAs/Ministers has been increasing. This increased the dominance of OBC elitemen. The only difference police board will make is that it would restore the dominance of upper caste elitemen. Other than that, the Police Board proposal makes no difference. The proposal of Police Board is far inferior than the two procedures we have proposed -replacement of District Chief and Citizens’ Inquiry. 22.7 Other party’s and eminent intellectuals stand on improving Police The leaders of other parties and all intellectuals are simply hostile to improve Police Dept. Every party’s leaders have refused to increase the number of policemen. They are openly hostile to procedure by which we commons can replace District Police Chief and insist that Police Chiefs must be imposed from top. They further insist on keep salaries of policemen low so they have to depend on bribery and thus they can be pressurized. The leaders of other parties have also refused to enact Jury System by which citizens can expel policemen. We request all citizens to ask their favorite party’s leaders on what they intend to do on issue of corruption in policemen and decide if they are worth voting for. And we also request activists to ask intellectuals on this issue, and decide if they are worth following. Review Questions 1. How many policemen are there in India? 2.

And reader is requested to have a paper, ball pen and calculator while reading this chapter.) 23.1 Who manufactures rupees (M3) in India ? In common understanding, word “rupee” means currency notes in pockets, currency notes in safe, balance in chequing accounts, balance in savings accounts, fixed deposits, plus accrued interests etc. What we commonly refer as “rupees” is what RBI refers as M3. Now please read further only after answering the following question The Question on Corruption in FinMin, RBI and other banks : Lets say we add all rupees in everyone’s pockets, accounts etc, and then divide this “total number of rupees” by India’s population to get per capita rupee (M3) amount. Then what was the per capita rupee amount in Apr-1951 , Apr-2004 and per capita rupee amount today, say Apr-2010? Just give a guess, and only after giving a guess, please read further. Please do not read further before giving a guess to the above question. 23.2 Rupees (M3) manufactured between Jan-1951 and Dec-2008 Consider following documents Description of document URL to the document 1 my own estimate of approx month-wise population of India from 1951-2010 http://rahulmehta.com/indian_population.pdf http://rahulmehta.com/data.001.pdf 2 for Apr-1951, Apr-2004 http://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/Publications/PDFs/69110.pdf 3 for Apr-2010 http://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/Wss/PDFs/WSS140510F.pdf 4 GDP in 1951-2009 http://rahulmehta.com/annual_gdp.pdf 5 types of rupees and amount http://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/Publications/PDFs/69111.pdf Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 178 From the above documents we get following data Item apr-1951 apr-2010 sources 1 population of India 36.16 cr 118.30 cr doc-1, apr51 row doc-1, apr10 row 2 rupee volume in India Rs. 2330 cr Rs. 55,79,567 cr doc-2, row1 doc-3, table7 3 per citizen rupee Rs. 64 Rs. 47,164 divide (2) by (1) 4 change in rupee volume in 60 years 730 times Rs 47164/Rs 65 5 GDP of India (1999 price) Rs. 236,067 cr Rs. 39,70,367 cr see doc-4 (add 9% on 2009) 6 per citizen GDP, per year Rs. 6,528 Rs. 33,400 divide (5) by (1) 7 change in per capita GDP in 60 years 5.2 times So summarizing, 1. The total rupee in apr-1951 was about Rs 65 per citizen of India 2. So many M3 rupees were manufactured by RBI (and may be others) between apr-1951 and apr-2010, that the total rupee in Apr-2010 was about Rs 47,164 per citizen, increase of 730 times. Please note – it is not increase by 730%, but increase by 730 times or 73000%. And these numbers are on per capita basis, and thus population increase of 4 times has been already factored in. 3. The increase in per capita GDP from 1951 to 2010 has been less than 5.3 times. 4. So RBI (and others) increased rupee volume by 730 times even when goods had increased only by 5.3. times per citizen. 5. This is the only main reason why prices have increased. I request reader to realize what 730 times growth in rupee volume means. It means every rupee note of 1951 has been replaced by one 500-rupee note and two 100-rupee notes, and plus three 10-rupee notes. And this is on per citizen basis. Given that population has increased by about 3.7 times, net increase in rupee volume is about 2400 times. IOW, RBI has replaced each rupee note of 1951 by two 1000-rupee notes and four 100-rupee notes !! Let me pose a scenario before you reader. Say RBI revokes existing currency and issues new currency. Say RBI withdraws every 1 rupee note and gives new 10 rupee note, withdraws every 5 rupee notes and issues new Rs 50 note etc. Then will the prices of goods such as milk or bread remain the same? Common sense says that prices will also overnight increase by 10 times. Same way, RBI Governor has increased the rupee volume by 730 times per capita basis and about 2400 times in total since Apr-1951 to Apr-2010. And so prices have gone several 100 times. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 179 There are 100s of economists working round the clock churning out all nonsense theories on why the prices have increased. But the only main reason is that per capita rupee manufactured by RBI and other banks is so high, that rupee volume in 2010 is now 720 times the rupee volume that was in 1951. While supply of goods on per capita basis has increased by less than 5.5 times. And so prices have increased over 100 times in past 60 years. Lets compare years Apr-2004 and apr-2010. Item apr-2004 apr-2010 sources 1 population of India 108.07 cr 118.30 cr doc-1, apr51 row doc-1, apr10 row 2 rupee volume in India Rs. 20,60,153 cr Rs. 55,79,567 cr doc-2, apr04 row doc-3, table7 3 per citizen rupee Rs. 18,947 Rs. 47,164 divide (2) by (1) 4 change in rupee volume in 6 years 2.5 times Rs 47164 /Rs 19847 7 change in per capita GDP in 6 years 0.5 times 6. Rupee volume in Apr-2004 was about Rs 18,900 per citizen. 7. Too many rupees were manufactured by RBI and other banks between Apr-2004 and Apr-2010, and so rupee volume in Apr-2010 increased to about Rs 47,000/-per citizen., an increase of 1.5 times or 150%. 8. The real GDP increase in these 6 years was less than 50% 9. So the prices of most things doubled or tripled. And prices of some things such as land etc went 2 to 10 times IOW, the prices of grain, pulses, land etc increased in past 6 years. The most important reason behind price rise is that RBI Governor and Chairmen of other banks manufactured huge volumes of rupees. Every rupee note of apr-2004 is now in apr-2010 replaced with two 1-rupee note and one 50 paise coin. A large number of economists are liars and they tell us all sorts of fancy reasons like global recession as reason or tell us increase in oil price as a reason and so forth. All these reasons are fake fraud and phony. The only main reason is rampant manufacturing of Indian rupees. If RBI Governor had kept rupee manufacturing under control, then there would have been no significant price rise. We will examine the motives behind RBIG and FinMin later. Which is why we citizens must have procedure to expel RBI Governor. Because if we citizens have no way to expel RBI Governor, then he will go berserk and manufacture so much rupees, that prices of everything will shoot by several hundreds of times. 23.3 Who all in India manufacture rupees (M3) ? Based on the data from RBI, I showed that some agencies in India manufactured so many rupees between 1951 to 2010 that rupee volume increase from Rs 65 per citizen in Apr-1951 to Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 180 Rs 18,900 per citizen in Apr-2004 to Rs 47,000 per citizen in Apr-2010. So now the question comes : who manufactures all these rupees in India? Is RBI the sole agency in India or are there other agencies in India who are empowered to manufacture rupees as well? Lets examine the 5 documents I listed in the first table in this chapter again. From the above document mentioned in first table in this chapter, we see Item Value Source 1 rupee (M3) in apr-2010 Rs. 55,79,567 cr doc-3, table-7, row-1 2 population in apr-2010 118.30 cr doct-1, see entry for apr-10 3 per citizen rupees in apr-2010 Rs. 47,164 divide (1) by (2) 4 rupee notes manufactured by RBI from 1934 till Apr-2010 Rs. 8,20,219 cr doc-3, table-1, row-1 5 per capita rupee notes manufactured by RBI till apr-10 Rs. 6400 divide (4) by (2) 6 rupees manufactured by RBI in form of deposits till apr-2010 Rs. 356,084 cr doc-3, table-8, rows-4,5 7 per capita rupee manufactured by RBI till apr-10 in form of deposits Rs. 3010 divide (6) by (2) 8 per capita rupee manufactured by RBI till apr-10 in form of notes plus deposits Rs. 9410 add (5) and (7) 9 coins issued by Finance Ministry Rs. 10910 cr doc-3, table-8, row-15 10 per capita coins issued Rs. 92 divide (9) by (2) 11 per citizen manufactured by RBI till apr-10 in form of notes plus deposits plus coins Rs. 9502 add (8) and (10) Many citizens wrongly think that deposit in RBI is not real rupee while only RBI note is real rupee. This is fallacy and is same as saying that paper share certificate is real while DEMAT account is not real !! We know that paper share certificate has same voting rights or values as paper certificate shares. Same way, the deposit in RBI is as real as RBI notes. RBI manufactures rupees(M3) in two forms – one is RBI notes in paper form which can be carried by citizens and another is deposit in RBI account. RBI can print notes equal to deposits and give it to the depositor if and when depositors demands. But more often, RBI notes are more than retail transactions need and so RBI does not need to convert its deposit into notes. But so called “deposits in RBI” are same as currency notes for all practical purposes. So all in all, the total amount of rupees (M3) in India in apr-2010 was Rs 47,000 per citizen while RBI had manufactured only Rs 9410 and Finance Ministry manufactured coins of Rs 90 per citizen. So which agencies manufactured the rest (Rs 47000 – Rs 9410 – Rs 90) = Rs 37500 per citizen Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 181 Let me further elaborate by comparing rupee volumes as on apr-2004 and as on apr-2010 Item apr-2004 apr-2010 sources 1 population of India 108.07 cr 118.30 cr doc1, apr51 row doc1, apr10 row 2 rupee volume in India Rs. 20,60,153 cr Rs. 55,79,567 cr doc2, apr04 row doc-3, table7 3 rupees per citizen Rs. 18,947 Rs. 47,194 divide (2) by (1) 4 Increase in per capita rupee volume Rs 28,047 5 rupees manufactured by RBI as notes + deposits Rs. 435,083 cr Rs. 8,20,219 cr see doc-2 see doc-3 6 rupees manufactured by RBI as notes + deposits per citizen Rs. 4000 Rs. 9400 divide (5) by (1) 7 increase in rupees manufactured by RBI as notes + deposits per citizen Rs. 5400 IOW, between apr-2004 and apr-2010, RBI had manufactured only Rs 5400 per citizen some in form of notes and some in form of “deposits in RBI”. But total rupees (M3) in citizen’s accounts all over India volume in India had increased by about Rs 28,000 . So this should convince the reader that RBI is not the only agency in India which manufactures Indian rupees (M3). There are other agencies which manufacture Indian rupees though not in the form of currency notes. In fact, RBI has manufactured only about 20% of rupees (M3) that are there in India as of now. The remaining 80% rupees have been manufactured by non-RBI banks. 23.4 Banks such SBI, BoB etc are empowered to manufacture rupees (M3) !! This may come as surprise to most readers. But MPs in India, via laws, have actually allowed banks such as SBI, BoB to manufacture rupee (M3) in so called passbook form. SBI cannot and will not manufacture rupee in note form – that is something only RBI can do. But SBI can manufacture rupee (M3) in form of passbook balance or fixed deposits. And this is legal. Such banks are called scheduled banks – i.e. banks which have license from RBI to manufacture Indian rupees in passbook form. RRG is the only party who is committed to all citizens of India that SBI, BoB etc banks do manufacture Indian Rupees (M3). The SBI etc manufacture Indian rupees in form of passbook money. And to put these newly manufactured rupees in circulation, they are allowed to add these newly manufactured rupees to the savings or current or FD account of the person\company who wants loans. How much rupees can SBI manufacture in this fashion? It is equal to about 15 times the rupee notes or RBI deposits Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 182 that SBI possesses. IOW, if SBI has say Rs 1000 in form of currency notes, then SBI can manufacture about Rs 15000 and add it to the deposit account of the person to whom SBI wants to give loans. SBI needs to have sufficient capital as well to manufacture these Rs 15000. How many rupees have been manufactured by all non-RBI banks as on apr-2010? Please see first column first row of table-7 and table-8 of document-3. The table-7 shows total rupees manufactured by all banks including India till date. As of apr-2010, it was Rs 5579,567 cr which is Rs 47164 per citizen. The table-8 shows “reserve money” and the term means nothing but rupees manufactured by RBI which was Rs 1155,281 i.e. about Rs 9765 per citizen. So about (Rs 47164 -Rs 9765) = Rs 37,398 has been manufactured by banks other than RBI in months between Apr-2009 and Apr-2010. Of this how much money was manufactured by SBI? How much money was manufactured by BoB? Well, if you can provide me the balance sheets or closing balances of all banks, I can provide you these answers. The method is as follows : money manufactured by SBI will be approximately = deposits in SBI accounts -RBI rupees in SBI vaults – deposit SBI has in RBI This is approx number. There are also other factors such as loans taken by SBI, capital owned by SBI etc. A detailed discussion on reading balance sheet of RBI and all banks will be in a separate article on rupee volume in India. But the data given so far should convince the reader that SBI etc do indeed manufacture rupees (M3) in passbook form. RBI does manufacture rupees, but saying that RBI alone manufactures rupees is 20% truth and 80% lie. Now is rupee manufactured by SBI any different from rupees manufactured by RBI? My answer is : I have asked this question to many economist, and none has been able to show ANY difference between SBI rupee and RBI rupee spare petty retail trades like vegetable buying. And a common wrong argument given is that : if every account holder of SBI goes to SBI to ask form RBI notes for his SBI deposits, then SBI will default. And SBI will not be able to give RBI notes to depositors. This argument is wrong. In all depositors of SBI go to SBI and ask for RBI notes, then FinMin and RBIG have to decide whether they want SBI to default, or whether they want to save SBI. If they want SBI to default, then yes, SBI will surely default. And if they want to save SBI, then RBIG can print required number of RBI notes and dispatch it to SBI against SBI bonds or simply as loan to SBI. So assuming that FinMin, RBIG don’t want SBI to default under any circumstances, rupee in SBI account is as good as RBI notes, spare vegetable buying type petty retail transactions. 23.5 How gives and how gets newly manufactured rupees RBI can manufacture Indian rupees in form currency notes and deposits on RBI books. RBI manufactures rupees against dollars deposited or against Govt bonds. E.g. when someone deposits dollars in RBI, the RBI may manufacture say Rs 45 and give to that person or bank in which that person has an account. And RBI can manufacture Rs 100 and give it GoI against Rs 100 bond of GoI. All in all, whatever rupees RBI manufactures, the money goes to the one who deposits dollars or GoI. So there little scope of rampant corruption in giving the newly manufactured rupees in RBI. But when a non-RBI bank such as SBI etc manufactures rupees, it is given as loan to GoI or private entities. As on apr-2010, non-RBI banks have given Rs 14,48,041 cr as loans to Govt Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 183 and given Rs 34,81,925 cr as loans to private individuals and companies. Putting it other way, non-RBI banks have given Rs 12,240 per citizen of loans to Govt and Rs 29,430 per citizens as loans to The loan given to Govt doesn’t involve any corruption. But loan given to private entities may involve corruption and in large loans where-in no collateral is taken, corruption is very likely. And corruption is often the reason why bank chairmen, IAS in Finance Ministry, Finance Ministers etc are always eager to manufacture more and more rupees (M3) and give it in form of loans. Many of these loans given to private entities do not come back, or create Ponzi Schemes, where in old loans are repaid only after new loans are issued. In case the loan is not repaid, then banks need to manufacture more money so that depositors can be repaid. And even when new loans have to be given to a borrower so that he can repay the old loans, the banks need to manufacture rupees to issue new loans continuously. In any case, as newly manufactured rupees go out in circulation, 23.6 How manufacturing rupee is stealing wealth Most economists insists that citizens should not interfere into RBI’s affairs and let RBI manufacture as much rupees it wants. And they outrightly deny that when bank manufacture new rupees will decrease the value of existing rupees will decrease. This is matter of personal opinion only. As far as I see, every newly manufactured rupee decreases the value of existing rupee by prraata I.e. if rupee supply is sat Rs 20000 per citizen and if RBI (and other banks) manufacture rupee M3 worth Rs 20000 per citizen in that year, then value of rupee becomes almost half and half the wealth of those who had rupees passed into the hands of those who got newly manufactured rupees. To exact, consider following actual numbers Item apr-2009 apr-2010 sources 1 population of India 116.86 cr 118.30 cr doc1, apr09 row doc1, apr10 row 2 rupee volume in India Rs. 48,58,917 cr Rs. 55,79,567 cr doc3, table7 doc3, table7 3 rupees per citizen Rs. 41,587 Rs. 47,164 divide (2) by (1) 4 increase in per capita rupee volume Rs 5,585 Rs 47,164 – Rs 41,587 5 % increase in per capita rupee volume 13.4% So between apr-2009 and apr-2010, RBI Governor, SBI Chairman, and senior staff of other banks, with blessings from FinMin and PM manufactured rupees equal to about 14% of rupees in apr-2009. And after manufacturing these rupees, some 40% of newly manufactured were give to Govt and rest were given to private entities. These newly manufactured 14% rupees were nothing but stealing about 14% of the rupees of those who held rupees in apr-2009. Even if one subtracts some 6% interest one typically gets, it is still a theft of 8%. So Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 184 rupee manufacturing is stealing rupees from rupee holders and giving it to persons who have connections with bank chairmen, Finance Minister officers, PM, FinMin etc. The rupee manufacturing benefits the people who have close connections with directors, chairman etc banks, RBI, Finance Ministry and PMO. And it would also benefit those who have links with powerful lawyers in Supreme Court, and many loan related cases land in litigations and the lawyers who have good name before judges will always play important role. All in all, rupee manufacturing robs the wealth of those who are politically less connected and passes the wealth to those who are politically well connected. It need not be vote-magnets, but people who control vote-magnets via their control over banks, police, courts and media. How can we stop this loot? One of my goal at RRG is to enact procedure by which we citizens can expel/replace RBI Governor and SBI Chairman, and thus bring rupee manufacturing under the control of citizens. This will reduce the loot via rupee manufacturing. 23.7 So the real reasons behind price rise The price rise is only because RBI (and other banks) manufacture rupees far more than real growth rate of the real economy. The growth rate is exaggerated because inflation index is under-reported, and under reporting is done by excluding the prices of land (as if now one needs land). The newly manufactured rupees decrease the value of existing rupees, and in all ways, it is equivalent to taking away rupees of rupee-holders. The price rise is result of this massive rupee-manufacturing only. So why don’t FinMin, PM etc reduce rupee manufacturing? Because elitemen in India want rupees, and getting rupees via revenue is too hard for them, as most elitemen are void of technical skills needed to earn rupees via revenue. So they prefer easy way – just manufacture them, and take it as loan at much lower interest. And many don’t even repay, and so banks need to manufacture more rupees. So if PM/FinMin ask RBIG, SBIC etc to stop rupee manufacturing, then the elitemen will not get rupees to keep their positions at top. Will industries stop functioning if banks stop rupee manufacturing? NO. As of now, banks manufacture rupees and give it to the people who have connections with banks, and they purchase land, goods etc and run industries. If banks stop manufacturing rupees and giving it to these industry owners, then prices of these goods etc drop and so industries will run with lesser amount of rupees, but material volume will not be effected. Then what will be the change? The change is that control over industry will pass from those connected with banks to those who are unconnected with banks. IOW, the control over industry will pass to those who have technical know how rather than just political connections. To keep the control is the only reason why elitemen need banks to manufacture more and more money. This newly manufactured passbook rupees (m3) were given out in form of new loans. Please note – new loans, not issuance of loans from the rupees repaid from previous loans. RBI officers dont give data on which persons got how much of newly manufactured Rupees, but most of these newly manufactured rupees first go to top 0.1% of Indian population, and some half the Rupees go to the top 500000 wealthy individuals of India as loan. IOW, top 0.1% of Indian population got a big chunk of Rs 750,000 crores manufactured in year 2008 merely by “promise to pay”. 23.8 Solution-1 : Right to Recall RBI Governor Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 185 The draft of the proposed procedure is as below # Procedure for Procedure /instruction 1 -The word citizen would mean a registered voter 2 Cabinet Secretary If any citizen of India wishes to become RBIG (Reserve Bank of India Governor) , and he appears in person or via a lawyer with affidavit before the Cabinet Secretary, the Secretary would accept his candidacy for RBIG after taking filing fee same as deposit amount for MP election. 3 Talati , (or Talati’s Clerks) If a citizen of that district comes in person to Talati’s office, pays Rs 3 fee , and approves at most five persons for the RBIG position, the Talati would enter his approvals in the computer and would him a receipt with his voter-id#, date/time and the persons he approved. 4 Talati The Talati will put the preferences of the citizen on district’s website with citizen’s voter-ID number and his preferences. 5 Talati If a the citizen comes to cancel his Approvals, the Talati will cancel one of more of his approvals without any fee. 6 Cabinet Secretary On every 5th of month, the CS may publish Approval counts for each candidate as on last date of the previous month. 7 PM If a candidate gets approval of over 51% of ALL registered citizen-voters (ALL, not just those who have filed their approval) in a district, then PM may or need not expel the existing RBIG and may or need not appoint the person with highest approval count as RBIG. The decision of PM will be final. 8 District Collector If any citizen wants a change in this law, he may submit an affidavit at DC’s office and DC or his clerk will post the affidavit on the website of Prime Minister for a fee of Rs 20/-per page. 9 Talati (or Patwari) If any citizens want to register his opposition to this law or any section or wants to register YES-NO to any affidavit submitted in above clause, and he comes to Talati’s office with voter-ID and pays Rs 3 fee, Talati will enter YES/NO and give him a receipt. The YES-NO will be posted on the website of the Prime Minister. The summary of the proposed law is as follows: 1. Any citizen of India can pay a deposit same as MP election to the PM’s secretary and register himself as a candidate for RBIG (Reserve Bank of India’s Governor). Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 186 2. Any citizen of India can walk to Talati’s office, pay Rs 3 fee , approve five persons for RBIG position. The Talati will give a receipt with his voter-id#, persons he approved etc. 3. A citizen can cancel his approvals any day as well. 4. The Talati will put the preferences of the citizen on district’s website with citizen’s voter-ID number and his preferences. 5. If a candidate gets approval of over 50% of ALL registered voters (ALL, not just those who have filed their approval) then PM may expel the existing RBIG and appoint the person with highest approval as RBIG. In addition, citizens should also enact RTR-SBIC so that SBI does not manufacture money en-masse. The draft of RTR-SBIC is similar to RTR-RBIG. 23.9 Solution-2 : Changes in deposits and lending system I at RRG propose the following changes in currency system.. Citizens’ Rupee System 1. Enact procedure by which citizens can replace Chairman of RBI, SBI 2. Merge all Govt banks with SBI. 3. Confine all Govt banks to fund transfer and storage. 4. Reduce the role of Govt banks in loans. The Govt banks shall give un-guaranteed loans ONLY to citizens, and not companies, and less than Rs 200,000 per person at interest of 8% to those who qualify. 5. Govt banks will give loans to company only against individuals as guarantors. E.g. if a company wants loan of say Rs 200 cr, it would need to provide 10000 adult guarantors each willing to guarantee Rs 100,000 6. Bailout would need approval of over 51% of all citizen-voters 7. The Govt banks shall only support savings accounts where persons will get 6% interest on minimum balance held in the year. For senior citizens, it will be 8% interest on minimum balance held in the year below Rs 15,00,000 and 4% on amount above Rs 15,00,000. In addition, the interest will be 3% of minimum balance in the month. 8. There will no interest to deposits of trusts and private companies. The companies/trusts who want interest may go to the private banks. 9. The Govt shall insure only the deposits in Govt banks and not in private bank 10. The Govt shall form the Depositor Groups for each private banks to regulate the private banks, and Depositor Group shall supervise the functioning of the Bank. But Govt shall not regulate private banks. 11. RBIG will issue rupees to cover interests and support deficits in Military, Police, Courts, class-I-XII education, health, senior citizen support, disabled support and for no other reason, as approved by the citizens. 12. No manufacturing of rupees without citizen’s approval : Enacting a law that the RBIG shall not increase M3 without over 51% citizens’ registering their YES except for needs of Military and war. 13. No Govt body will be hence forth allowed to take any debt Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 187 14. Universal Banking System : Every citizen will have at least one account with SBI at the branch close to his home. All his transactions with Govt etc will be via that bank. and via that account. The account number will be same as his Tax-ID (cum National-ID when National-ID system comes) and same as his Universal Mobile Number and Universal Email Account on GoI domain. Every transaction in this account will be sent as SMS to his mobile. 15. Disputes with Govt Banks will be resolved by Jurors and not the judges 16. Steps to stop underground banking : Govt of India will force every bank in the world including Swiss banks to disclose the wealth of every person in India in that bank 17. National ID system to keep track of accounts. Converting existing system into Citizens’ Rupee System 18. All FDs owned by individuals will be added to their Savings Account with interests, and those owned by companies etc will be added to their current accounts. 19. Govt shall manufacture rupees to repay all Govt, PSU bonds 20. Interest on all outstanding loans from Govt banks will become 4% and all loans will have to be repaid by 180 monthly installments for housing loans, 48 installments of vehicle loans and 120 monthly installments of all other loans. 21. The late payment penalties will be 8%. The property will be auctioned within 30 to 120 days when unpaid installments exceeds one-forth the principal amount. The auction will be used to pay off the loan and if there is any surplus, the money will be returned to borrower. If there is any deficit, it will be written-off by manufacturing new rupees if the need be. 22. No new loans will be issued against the money repaid in above loans 23.10 Citizens’ Rupee System Law and Deficit Financing The above Citizen’s Rupee System does not prohibit govt. from deficit financing. It only insists that such an action would need issuing new Legal Tender, and would need a approval of citizens. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 188 23.11 Main differences between existing system and Citizens’ Rupee System Existing Elitemen’s Rupee System Proposed Citizens’ Rupee System The PM appoints RBI-Governors\Directors. Since the super-rich have nexuses with PM and also have ability to blackmail PM using newspaper/TV, in reality, the super rich decide who will get these jobs. So citizens have no control over RBI-Directors etc. The PM appoints RBI-Governor\Directors. But citizens, using Approval Filing and Jury Trials, can expel/replace them. So citizens have control over them. The RBI-Governor consults the PM\FinMin and super-rich and issues Rupees. The private bankers also create money from thin air. RBI-Governors can issue Rupees ONLY after majority of citizens have Approved. The disputes are resolved by judges. Due to continuous proximity with same layers and relative lawyers, the judges develop nexuses us with lawyers and so dispute-resolution favors becomes biased in favor of those who can hire these lawyers. Also Citizens of India have lost faith in judges and Indian judges are too busy and can seldom resolve a case in time. The disputes are resolved by 12 Jurors (randomly chosen common citizens) who have extreme Hatred against criminals. Also, the lawyers will not be able to form nexuses with Jurors as Jurors change with every trial. Further, Juries can give continuous un-interrupted hearings for days and thus resolve the cases faster. 23.12 Drafts of Citizen’s Rupee System and other proposed changes The drafts of the Govt Orders needed to bring Citizen’s Rupee System and other proposed changes is on my website at http://www.rahulmehta.com/improve_currency.htm. 23.13 Government Debt Does a father have right to make promises on behalf of his son? Or should a father be allowed to create debt for his son? Or rather, does a father have right to sell his son into slavery? If not, government has no rights to do debts. A person’s debt dies with him. A private company’s debt dies with death of the company or its owners and a public company’s debt is NOT shareholder’s liability and does not go to next generation. But the government debt, which is created by officers appointed by TODAY’S individuals, gets carried on the next generation, with huge interest. The government debt is essentially a mechanism by which RBI-heads and owners/controllers of scheduled banks are converting the Indians into their slaves. The internal debt can still be wiped off by inflating the currencies. But what about external debt? Any Finance Minister with even 1% morality would have hesitated in creating debt is foreign currency. Essentially what Manmohan Singh (and other Finance Ministers) have done is told American Bankers’ following “Give me X billion dollars and ours sons will repay. If not, they will be your slaves.” If one has slightest sense of morality, he would reject the concept of government creating debt. We at Right to Recall Group has enact a law that would enable citizens to imprison an officer who takes external or even internal debt and thus put an end to Govt Debt.

The proposed law puts restriction that RBI cannot increase M3 without permission of over 50% citizens. The cost of obtaining permission will be about Rs 150 cr to Rs 300 cr. So even if citizens are asked 4 times a year, the cost will still be Rs 1200. Is the cost too much? Well, RBI had raised money supply by Rs 750,000 in 12 months in 2007-2008. So the cost of permission is less than 0.5% and is very much acceptable cost. 23.15 Other party’s and intellectuals stand on changing RBI The leaders of other parties and all intellectuals are simply hostile to increase citizens’ control over RBI Chief and the Rupee Supply System. improve Police Dept. Every party’s leaders have refused to increase the number of policemen. They are openly hostile to procedure by which we commons can replace District Police Chief and insist that Police Chiefs must be imposed from top. They further insist on keep salaries of policemen low so they have to depend on bribery and thus they can be pressurized. The leaders of other parties have also refused to enact Jury System by which citizens can expel policemen. We request all citizens to ask their favorite party’s leaders on what they intend to do on issue of corruption in policemen and decide if they are worth voting for. And we also request activists to ask intellectuals on this issue, and decide if they are worth following. Exercises 1.

MRCM : Enact procedures so that the royalties from all the mines and rents from GoI plots gets divided as ---1/3rd to the Indian Military, 2/3rd to citizens of India. This will increase Military funding. 2. Enact a wealth tax for Military which is 1% of market value of non-agricultural land above 25 sq meters per person, and use that fund on military only. 3. Enact a wealth tax for Military which is 1% of market value of agricultural land above 5 acre per person, and use that fund on military only. 4. Enact Inheritance tax of 35% on wealth above 25 sqm of NA land, 50 sqm of construction, 5 acre of agricultural wealth and Rs 1 cr of other wealth. The tax will be 65% when the person is not a “close” relative. 5. Increase the number of soldiers from 12,00,000 to 40,00,000 6. Increase the salaries of soldiers by 200% as of now (Jun-2010), effective Jan-2002 7. Universal Military Training : Introduce compulsory weapon use education for all citizens of India, starting from 10th class onwards. Also introduce weapon education classes for adults. As weapon training in citizens increase, they will become more informed about importance of large weapons and so will oppose leaders who weaken Military. 8. Recruit 500,000 engineers and 10,00,000 laborers to increase weapon production of all weapons from guns to tanks to airplanes or nuclear bombs and missiles. Because strength of Indian Military will depend on ability of nation of manufacture (manufacture, not import) US-quality weapons such as nuclear missiles, cruz missiles etc. 9. IITs, IISc will come under DRDO. 15 year draft will apply on those who join these colleges. After graduation, they will have to server DRDO etc for 15 years. 10. Increase the nuclear arsenal of India to establish parity with China. China has conducted 23 ground nuclear tests and 22 atmospheric tests, where as India has conducted only 4 ground and zero atmospheric tests. And largest test China conducted was 4500 kt, while ours was mere 45 kt. Highest. And China has over 20 to 30 times more warheads than India has. We must conduct at least ten 3000 kiloton atmospheric nuclear tests and forty other ground/atmospheric nuclear tests ranging from 100 kilotons to 4500 kilotons to be at par with China. 11. Impose 300% import duty on every imports except raw material : Military needs weapon manufacturing skills. Imported weapons are all useless. And the only way to increase engineering skills is to create a large scale manufacturing sector in India which is importing only raw material and no hi-tech goods at all. Complete local liberalization will enable risk taking engineers to setup their own ventured and 300% import duty will enable them to sell their goods locally. 12. Social security for labor and hire-file policy in labor : Improvement in engineering skills needs huge amount of manufacturing industries in India, and industries. And industrial Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 191 growth is maximal when labor has social security system and employer full hire-fire capability. The MRCM law creates social security cover which makes it impossible for employers to exploit an employee. And the hire-fire law enables employers to reduce financial burden when production reduces. In short, to improve India’s Military, we will need to take several steps inside Military such as recruiting soldiers, raising salaries etc. But we need to take 10s of important steps outside military and inside nation as well. Because strength of Indian Military depends on many factors which are external to Military. E.g. Military needs engineers who can manufacture US quality weapons. Now if economic policies of India are so that these policies retard the creation of engineering talent in India, then Military will suffer. Likewise, Military needs large number of patriotic soldiers as input from society. But if the government is full of corrupt Ministers, policemen and judges, then patriotism in citizens decrease and so again Military weakens. So improving Military is easy – but it is a voluminous work as one needs to fix many civilian departments as well to improve Military. A Military can protect a nation, only if nation protects and strengthens every its Military, and every sector that Military needs. The drafts of the Govt Notifications needed to bring above changes in Military will be later posted at http://www.rahulmehta.com/improve_military.htm 24.2 Key factors determining strength of Military The salary and training of soldiers are important, and equally important is salary, skill level and discipline of engineers and technicians. And men can be disciplined only in a country where administration, courts are less unfair. Let me restate this fact in comparative way : Factor that impacts strength of military How it impacts strength of Military Salary, Training of solders A country which gives better salaries, training to soldiers will have stronger military than a country which offers poor salaries and training. Weapon manufacturing capability A country with more talented engineers will have better weapon manufacturing capabilities than a country where engineers have lesser talent. So what factor can increase engineering talent in India? Weapon use training in average citizens A country which has more armed civilians will have stronger military, as weapon use training makes a person informed about large weapons, and so the citizenry as a whole rejects leaders who weaken military to please their foreign sponsors. So how do we make more and more citizens of India armed to teeth? Indiscipline in the citizens A country where citizens have lesser indiscipline will have stronger military than a country where indiscipline is higher. So what factors will reduce indiscipline in the citizens of India?

A country with regressive tax system will end up have less money for military and so weaker military. Sloganeering Sloganeering is useless, and does not improve Military even by 1%. In fact, sloganeering is utterly useless. Patriotism A country where citizens are more patriotic will have stronger military. Independent economy To create nuclear arsenal, we need to defy the US mandate against developing nuclear weapons and for that we need a technological setup inside India that can function in isolation. So other than raw materials, we must manufacture everything that world manufactures. Expellable PM The key persons in Military is PM, for PM decides salaries in Militaries, DRDO etc and PM decides policies which effect civilians depts. Which Military needs. So unless PM is recallable, PM may chose to sell out to US, Saud and take policies which will weaken India. IMO, this is already happening. In addition, there are many more factors. I have discussed how each civilian department on which the Military depends can be improved in respective chapter on the civilian department. E.g. Military needs patriotic citizens, and non-corrupt police/courts are necessary and sufficient to create patriotism in citizens. So if someone like myself wants to strengthen Military, then burden of providing laws by which corruption in police and courts will reduce is on him. I have already provided list of laws by which corruption in policemen/courts can be reduced. 24.3 Increasing talent in engineers An important factor that provides strength to Military is skill level of engineers in India. And that requires a considerable change in economic laws. To develop the skills locally, we need large scale local manufacturing inside India and that is possible only if 1. laws have to ensure that labor is protected 2. hire fire laws 3. easy entry and easy exit laws to maximize the competition in industry 4. high custom duty , give 1/3rd of custom duty to citizens The above conditions are necessary and almost sufficient. Why are above three set of laws must to improve manufacturing capabilities and how does RRG propose to achieve these goals? Let me answer the why and how part first Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 193 1. Protecting labor : The labor security means that labor (all citizens) will have small guaranteed income to ensure food, clothing, housing and education for his family, even if he loses employment has to take some minimum wage job. In absence of security, the employer can exploit him, and also force him to do things that would hurt society. I have Right to Recall Group has proposed MRCM law by which citizens directly get mineral royalties and land rent. This will create security cover similar to a social security system for the labor. While individual employer doesn’t face the burden of social security, some of the social security may come from income tax and wealth tax paid by the employers’ profits. This employers are as a whole contributing to the part of labor security system. 2. Hire-fire : In absence of hire-fire laws, the indiscipline and irresponsibility will increase. And when employer makes loses, forcing him to pay the labor will only force him to sell away his industry to wealthy individuals or MNCs. This will only increase the strength of MNCs and wealthy individuals. IOW, if we support a law that an employer cant expel workers to cut costs, then MNCs and wealthy individuals who have ability to bribe bank directors and Finance Ministers will be able to get low interest loans and survive this burden. But the small time employers who are in constant competitive environment, and have no contacts to bribe bank directors or Finance Ministers will be left with no option but to sell away their units to MNCs and wealthy individuals. IOW, no-fire laws benefit wealthy and corrupt individuals only. 3. Easy entry exit laws to maximize the competition : Weapon manufacturing requires engineering talent. The only way to create engineering talent in engineers is by creating situation where in they are confronting (non-violent) ruthless competition with other engineers. Training in colleges can only make them familiar with issues and research in universities can only do some path-breaking work or waste time. An engineer acquires ground skills only when that engineer is in real industry and when he is confronting real competition. And easy entry-exit laws are necessary to maximize the competition. 4. High custom duty : Either country should be at par with technologically most advanced country in the world or laws must ensure very high import duties on all goods except natural raw materials. Since India is far from acquiring capability that would compare with even Vietnam, forget China and even forget Germany, Japan or US, it is necessary for us to impose 300% custom duty on imports so that local manufacturing gets the local market. And of the custom duties collected, 1/3rd should directly go to citizens. This direct payment is important to create aversion in citizens against smuggling and to ensure that citizens do use Right to Recall over Customs Board Chairman procedure efficiently to ensure that Customs Chairman is collecting Customs properly. 24.4 What if we dont improve Military If we don’t improve the Military, then India will go Iraq way. The international politics is based on two simple laws : 1. The stronger fish will chew the weaker fish i.e. the people of a country with a stronger military will rob and enslave the people of the country with a weaker military i.e. if Indians don’t improve military, then Americans will rob and enslave Indians. 2. No mercy. No exception. Americans are not rishterdar of Indians. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 194 The geo-political changes are only outcomes of changes in military strengths and nothing else. E.g. In 1700s, the strength of UK Military became 20-50 times that of Indian Military due to superiority of weapons and more cohesiveness in British society (the more cohesiveness was due to fairer administration and courts). And so they were able to enslave India. The Western Militaries weakened due to WW2, and soldiers in India had strengthened due to WW2, and so India and many Asian, African countries became free. But now Western Militaries have regained the lost strength, and so devoured Panama and Iraq, with Iran next on the list and India next to next. If India doesn’t strengthen the Military, India will go Iraq way. As of now, elite in US is sending US troops to various countries such as Iraq, Iran and next India for two main reasons. One is to devour all mineral ore mines and another is to spread Christianity. India is seen as “nation with one billion souls to be harvested” and every Christianists in US wants to exterminate Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism etc from India and put Christianity as sole religion. A similar dream is harbored by Islamists in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan – they want to install Islam all over India. But the Islamists are no real threats as they themselves are now under US Military. We also face threat from China, which wants to destroy India so that it can gain better share in world exports and can devour crude oil wells of Assam along with Arunachal Pradesh. Pakistan on its own is too weak, but Pakistani elite agreed to make Pakistani Military and whole Pakistan as puppet of West, Saudi Arabia or China, who-so-ever who bids highest. So while US or China may not directly use their soldiers to break India, they will provide weapons and satellite information, and use Pakistan to break India. 24.5 How US won Kargil war, and India and Pakistan both lost Kargil war There are points that mediamen (who are under US influence because they get huge advertisements from MNCs) never ever told us. But a cursory glance at key events will show that India and Pakistan both lost the Kargil war, and it was US which won that war. Essentially, US had decided to teach the then PM ABV a lesson for defying US and yet conducting nuclear tests. So US assisted General Musharraf in placing Pakistani troops on Kargil mountains. When war started, we did not have laser guided missiles or even laser guided bombs to hit the insurgents who were at the top of the mountain. The planes and helicopters had to fly low to hit the targets, and in the process we lost our planes and helicopters. The Bofors shells were useful in hitting the enemy on the mountain, but they were of limited use, as the precision is not that high and so over most shells will fall way too far to create substantial damage. And so we had to ask 1000s of our soldiers to climb the mountain. The enemy was at the top, our soldiers were climbing up and so they got shot in huge number. And to make matter worse, even the Bofors shells were imported as we did not have capability to manufacture even the shells. And the rate at which we needed to use the shells, we would have run of shells in months. And US dictated the terms at which we would get Bofors shells. At the same time, the helicopters etc which Pakistan needed to send goods etc infiltrators needed parts made in European NATO countries which are also under US control. So when US President Clinton asked Musharraf and Nawaz Sharif to stop the war, both had to obey. And when Clinton asked India’s PM ABV to give safe passage at 2 AM in the morning of July-25, ABV had to obey, and within 2 hours India announces safe passage to the Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 195 Pakistani soldiers. So all in all, India lost the war – it could not even kill the Pakistani soldiers who had entered India and killed 800 Indian soldiers. Pakistan too had lost, as they had to leave on US orders and could not even carry the dead bodies of their dead soldiers back. If ABV had not obeyed Clinton like a good obedient boy, then US would have blocked the supply of Bofors shells and provided all help to Pakistan, in which case Pakistan would have won. If Musharraf had not obeyed Clinton, then Clinton would have increased aid to India and blocked all aid to Pakistan, in which case Pakistan would have imploded. It was US which won the war. When Kargil war started, we did ask Russia, France, US and several countries to sell us laser guided missiles and laser guided bombs. But none sold us till the last moment. At last moment we could buy some laser guided bombs to kill the infiltrators at the top of the mountains. 24.6 Improving weapon manufacturing industry Here I request the reader to note one point : if we were manufacturing laser guided missiles and laser guided bombs, not even one soldier of India would have died. Without risking the life of even one soldier, we would have killed all infiltrating Pakistani soldiers using laser guided bombs and laser guided missiles. This where Military heavily depends on civilian departments. Because of corruption in PM, FinMin etc, we could not develop these weapons. All in all, given the corrupt polity we had since the death of Indira Amma, our weapon manufacturing program is in shambles. And we need to fix this ASAP. One of the core demand of Right to Recall Group is to make ALL necessary changes in economy and polity so that India’s ability to manufacture weapons comes at par with US. 24.7 How bad is nuclear arsenal and nuclear capabilities? The following table will show how pathetic our nuclear capabilities are Russia US China UK India No. of nuclear explosion 715 1054 45 45 6 No. of atmospheric nuclear explosions >200 331 22 8 Zero No of high altitude explosion 7 14 Planned 0 Zero Largest explosion in kt 50000 15000 4300 200 45 Neutron Bombs Yes Yes Yes ?? No China conducted an atmospheric explosion of 3000 kt in 1968. Our largest explosion is mere 45 kt, which wont scare even a scar-crow. So after 40 long years, we are 1/75th of China. What is further depressing is that Pokharan-2 was a failure. The reader may not be aware of this, but all the data now prove that while nuclear explosion did happen, the thermo-nuclear explosion which was supposed to happen after nuclear explosion failed. ABV, Kalam etc lied before India’s citizens, but enemy such as US and China know that our nuclear arsenal is a dud. Solution is atmospheric tests. The underground tests’ strength is measured by seismic vibrations, where-in it is easy to cook the data. But atmospheric tests can be measured by temperature at points in air at various distance from point of explosion. This gives accurate measurement of heat and thus strength of the explosion. If China could develop and explode 3000 kt atmospheric bomb in 1968 and if Russia could explode 50000 kt bomb in 1950s, then we Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 196 too can create an at least 3000kt test in next 10 years. One of my proposals at RRG is conduction one 3000 kt atmospheric nuclear test in next 10 years. In addition, our nuclear arsenal is not even 1/20th of China and is peanuts compared to USA and Russia. We must develop a nuclear arsenal which at least at big as China. 24.8 Kill Switch – Threat of imported weapons Imported complex weapons such missiles, planes etc have so called Kill Switch. What is Kill Switch? It is circuit etc which when receives a particular encrypted radio signal from satellite or from a van, that missile, fighter plane etc will simply stop working. Imported radars also have Kill Switch. The problem of Kill Switch comes when equipment is imported. The selling country can always put a Kill Switch at 10s of places, and sniffing out Kill Switches is an impossible task. Now say we have imported fighter planes from US, Then it is almost guaranteed to have Kill Switches. And in case there is war between India and US, the US will make that plane useless by merely activating the Kill Switch. Worse, if there is war between India and Pakistan, and is US wants India to lose or suffer badly, US can make that plane useless by activating the Kill Switch. Still worse, of the war is between India and China, and plane is imported from France, China can always purchase Kill Switch details by paying money to France. The solution to this problem : manufacture all weapons locally. I at RRG propose to install factories in India so that EVERY weapon known to mankind is manufactured in India, made by Indian engineers and is not using any imported part. 24.9 Comparison of Indian Military with Chinese Military China India Comments No. of regular soldiers 22,00,000 14,00,000 China has far many more “Militaryreaady youth with Military training, than India because China has Universal Military Training. No. of planes 9300 3000 China manufactures fighter planes, we don’t. No of combat planes 2300 1335 China manufactures fighter planes, we don’t. Navy vessels 284 145 Chinese Navy has base in Gwadar, and is building bases in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka. Indian Navy has no base near Chinese coastline. So India’s Navy cant attack China but Chinese Navy can attack India. Nuclear warheads 200 50 China has successfully tested 4300 kt explosion. We have tested only 45 kt explosion. Missile range (km) 12000 2000 Nuclear warhead carrying submarines >4 Zero Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 197 Cruise Missiles ?? ?? China manufactures cruise missiles and so it can shower 100s of cruise missiles of India. We import at very high cost. Laser guided missiles and laser guided bombs ?? ?? China manufactures LGB and LGM. missiles and so it can shower 100s of cruise missiles of India. We import at very high cost 24.10 Solution to the problem of Imported Weapons The fact that India manufactures NO weapons and imports everything is scary. The imports may not work when war starts due to Kill Switches, or we may have to beg the supplier country not to activate Kill Switch. And we will have to pay price for that. And the price of imports and service parts will go 5 to 50 times when war starts. So we have no option but to start a large scale weapon manufacturing industry, aka Military -Industrial complex in India. I at RRG propose to install factories in India so that EVERY weapon known to mankind is manufactured in India, made by Indian engineers and is not using any imported part. 24.11 Other party’s and intellectuals stand on improving Military The leaders of other parties and all intellectuals are simply hostile to improve Military. Every party leader has refused to implement Universal Weapon Education as they are scared that citizens may rebel against their corruption and atrocities. And they also oppose raising salaries of soldiers as they want to keep taxes on elitemen low. Every party’s leaders have refused to bring Nuclear Weapon at parity with even China, forget USA and Russia. The salaries paid to Engineers in Military sector is so low that few engineers join them, and so manufacturing is in shambles. The weapon manufacturing program is so weak that e are even importing Bofors shells, forget manufacturing the howitzer. And we are even importing AK-47 rifles. All projects such as Arjun Tank, LCA and Kaveri Engine etc are in shambles as engineers are not joining these low paying jobs. And PMs have refused to raise salaries of engineers since 1991. The salaries of middle level Army officers is so low that even young men from Military families are now refusing to join Military. The Military officers once used to encourage their sons and nephews to join Military and now due to pathetically low salaries, and the salaries are low ONLY because the political leaders are hostile in raising salaries. The salaries are so low that out of the sanctioned strength of 40000 officers, 12000 are vacant. And in reality, we need 200,000 officers not just 40000 The leaders insist that the salaries of soldiers should be no more than 20% more than policemen’s salaries !! We all know that no young man would join police force if salaries were their only incomes. The mediamen have created image soldiers are corrupt and so need no salary raise. This is utter nonsense. Compare 10,00,000 foot soldiers (Jawans, Sepoys) with 15,00,000 constables in police we have or with 15,00,000 clerks we have in Govt. Each constable or clerk has some discretionary powers of citizen, while the soldier has none. So while over 80% of the constables and clerks have opportunities to collect bribes, less than 1% of any of the soldiers have any such opportunities. Compare 40000 officers in Army with 40,000 PSI, PI, DySP, SP or Tahsildar, Collector. Less than 5% of officers have any discretionary powers that would get them Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 198 any bribes. The purchases are done by IAS in Defense Ministry and only very high level officers (top 200 or so) are involved in decision making. So unlike police or babus, where over 90% to 95% have powers to make bribes, over 98% soldiers have no powers that can fetch them any bribes. We request all citizens to ask their favorite party’s leaders on what they intend to do on issue of strengthening the Military and decide if they are worth voting for. And we also request activists to ask intellectuals on this issue, and decide if they are worth following. Exercises 1. How many nuclear explosions have China and India each conducted till now and how? What were the yields in the highest explosions? 2. How many soldiers US has per lakh citizens? What is corresponding number for India, Pakistan, China, Russia? 3. What is the salary of an Indian young men who joined Military say 10 years after he joined NDA? 4. What salary of typical Infosys or IT company employee gets 10 years after he passes out from college? 5. I strongly urge the reader to watch following movie -Omar Mukhtar Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 199 25 RRG proposals on Taxation : enact wealth tax ; repeal VAT, Service Tax , GST 25.1 Summary of changes RRG proposes in tax system I at RRG promise to bring following changes in tax structure using RTI2:. 1. Enact Wealth Tax : Enact Wealth Tax for Military, Police, Courts, education of subjects needed by Military and Roads. The tax will apply on market value of land, construction by size and later on market value of shares and bonds, gold, silver and metal. Details are given in coming sections of this chapter. 2. Enact Inheritance Tax : Enact Inheritance Tax for Military, Police, Courts, education of subjects needed by Military. This tax will apply on entire wealth of the person who has died. 3. Reduction in Income Tax : The main emphasis will be on wealth tax and inheritance tax, and as that tax provided the revenue, the income tax will be reduced. 4. Abolish all tax benefits to SEZs 5. Abolish all export subsidies and all export related tax exemptions except that all income in dollars will be tax exempt till debt is repaid 6. Abolition of tax exemptions given to charities etc. Cancel 80G, 35AC etc. 7. Trusts will get exemption of Rs 20 per member per year. And one citizen can become member of at most five trusts. 8. Abolition of ALL excises except few items like vehicles (which will be used strictly for funding roads), fuel, electricity etc. 9. Abolish VAT, sales tax, service tax 10. Abolish Octroi 11. About 300% customs duty and 1/3rd of customs duty collected will directly go to citizens. 12. Reduce stamp duty (transfer tax) to 1% 13. Health tax on tobacco, liquor only to cover medical subsidies given to illnesses due to tobacco, liquor etc. The tax on tobacco, liquor etc will not be used to cover any other expenses. 14. Incomes of HUFs will be bracketed with Karta or taxed at corporate rates as Karta may wish 15. No wealth tax exemption for HUF’s wealth . Wealth of HUF will be bracketed with Karta or taxed at highest rate as Karta may wish. 16. National ID system to track wealth ownership and incomes 17. Universal banking system to track payments and reduce tax evasion 18. Upgrading National ID System : the NID of the person will be also his bank account number and also his email address as well as his mobile number as well as his driver license number. 19. Abolish tax exemption given to cricket and all sports bodies 20. Abolish tax exemption given to movies in regional languages or any grounds. 25.2 The concept of Regressive Taxes What is a regressive tax? Given a tax, I analyze following aspect of a tax, and classify the taxes in 3 categories ---flat tax, regressive tax and progressive tax Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 200 ° Say some military, police etc need Rs 5000 cr ° Say there are 5 cr individuals in a nation and together their income is Rs 50000 cr. ° Now say the taxes are adjusted in such a way that each person ends up paying 10% of his income. Such a tax is called as flat tax (flat wrt income). ° If the taxes are adjusted in such a way that a person who is earning LESSER income ends up paying more than 10% his income, and person with higher income ends up paying LESS than 10% of his income. Such a tax is called as Regressive Tax (regressive wrt income). ° If the taxes are adjusted in such a way that a person who is earning more income ends up paying more than 10% his income, and person with higher income end up paying less than 10% of his income. Such a tax is called as Progressive Tax (progressive tax wrt income). In the same way, say GoI needs say Rs 10000cr as taxes. Say various members of the citizenry own properties whose total worth is Rs 10,00,000 cr. Now again, there are three ways to impose taxes ---° One way is to impose a uniform tax of 1% of the property value. This would be a flat tax (flat wrt wealth owned). ° Another way is to impose a tax in which those with lesser property will end up paying taxes which is higher % of their property value. This would be a Regressive tax (regressive wrt wealth) ° Another way is to impose a tax in which those with higher property will end up paying taxes which are higher wrt their properties' values. This would be a Progressive Tax (progressive wrt wealth) 25.3 Are some taxes in India regressive? Now lets analyze some taxes in India. Tax example-1 : Tax on movie tickets Say a person earning Rs 3000/mo sees say 3 movies a month. Say he buys cheap tickets worth Rs 50. The tax in Ahmedabad on such tickets is Rs 20. So he pays (3 * Rs 20) = Rs 60/month as tax, which is 2% of his income. Now consider a person earning say Rs 30,000/mo. It is unlikely that he would be seeing 10 movies a month. Say he sees 4 movies a month, buy more expensive tax worth Rs 100, in which tax is Rs 40, and thus pays Rs 160/month as tax. The tax % will be = 160/30000*100% = 16/30 = 0.54%. Hence tax on movie tax is a regressive tax, regressive wrt income. What is more regressive is that in some cities of India like Ahmedabad, the tax on ordinary cinemas, where base price is Rs 20 and tax 80% of the base price. While for the expensive theatres (called Multiplex) where base price is Rs 100/-or even Rs 150/-or even Rs 400), the tax is barely Re 1/-per tax i.e. nearly zero !!! IOW, a person who can barely afford/spend to Rs 40 ends on movie ends up paying a tax of Rs. 15. While those spending Rs 100 to Rs 400 pay zero tax !!! This is truly a regressive tax wrt income ---the kind of tax India’s elitemen and intellectuals love. Tax example-2 : Taxes on tea Consider 100cr citizens of India. Say some 60cr citizens drink tea. For the time being, ignore the remaining 40cr. Now I would divide these 60 cr tea addicts into 3 groups : 1. those who earn below Rs 100/day Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 201 2. those who earn Rs 100/day to Rs 1000/day 3. those who earn above Rs 1000/day Now say a cup of tea uses say 10gm of tea which costs say Rs 2. Say the taxes on tea are 50% of the costs i.e. a cup of tea has tax of Rs 1. Now consider a person making Rs 100/day. Say he drinks 2 cups of tea. Hence he is paying Rs 2 as taxes i.e. 2% of his income. Now consider a person who is earning 10 times i.e. Rs 1000 per day. Obviously, such a person will not be drinking 10 cups of tea per day. Say he is drinking 5 cups of tea per day, in which case he will be paying Rs 5 as taxes i.e. 0.5% of his income as taxes. And likewise, a person who is earning Rs 10000/day will be perhaps spend say 0.05% as tea tax. So tax on tea is regressive wrt income of a person. Tax example-3 : Taxes on tobacco, coffee, gutaka, beer Consider tax on any such commodity, such as tobacco. Once again, say out 100cr citizens of India, say 40cr chew/smoke tobacco. I would divide the tobacco addicts into 3 groups 1. those who make below Rs 100/day 2. those who make between Rs 100/day and Rs 1000/day, and 3. those who make above Rs 1000/day. Consider a person who is earning making Rs 100/day. Say he is chewing 10gm of tobacco on which tax is Rs 1. Obviously, those who earn 10 times i.e. Rs 1000/day are NOT likely to consume 10 times more tobacco. Perhaps they would be consuming 2-3 times more. Hence the individuals with lesser income are paying larger portion of their incomes on tobacco taxes. Hence taxes on all these commodities like coffee, tobacco etc are REGRESSIVE wrt income. Quite often intellectuals cite taxes on tobacco as "welfare-oriented" i.e. taxes on tobacco reduce consumption of tobacco and thus improve the health of addicts. This is a flat lie and shows the extent to which intellectuals can twist fact to serve their wealthy masters. The reality is as following : 1. say a person earns Rs 100/day 2. say he eats tobacco, tea, coffee, sugar, oil etc, which costs Rs 20 before taxes 3. due ultra high taxes, the price of those goods is Rs 50 Now the increase of Rs 30 does NOT decrease his consumption of tobacco etc. Even with 2 to 3 fold increase in price, he continues to consume same amount. But due to higher expenditure, he ends up with LESSER money to buy good food like milk, ghee etc. And he is left with lesser money for his cloths, and he also has lesser money for his wife and kids, and may be his parents' food, clothes and education. He also ends up with lesser money for their medicine. IOW, the regressive taxes on tobacco, tea etc DOES NOT reduce their consumption of these "bad items" but drastically reduces his consumption of "good items". This not only ruins his and his family members' lives, but deteriorate the whole economy. How? Since the person has lesser disposable income, he ceases to be consumer for a large number of goods. Hence the market for those goods shrink, which forces the manufacturer of those items to reduce production. This reduces the number of labor they can support and thus starts a negative cycle. Effect of regressiveness in taxation Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 202 How this "gyaan" on type of taxes ---flat, progressive and regressive ---useful in understanding problems of India? The overall taxes in US/West are much less regressive than they are in India. As a result, the poverty problem is less severe in West, and the lower class in US/West has higher disposable incomes. So they have more money to buy various goods. This has created a large internal market in US/West for various manufactured goods and services. In addition, the lower class individuals in US/West also manage to save money to buy equipment needed to increase their productivity. While due to regressive taxes, the lower class individuals in India is hardly left with any money to buy that many goods or equipment. So the market in India remains small despite large population. And lower class individuals fail to buy equipment etc to raise their productivity. 25.4 Overview of proposed wealth tax on land/houses for Military Overview ° Tax of 1% of market value above 25 sq meters of non-agricultural land and 50 sq meters of construction space ° Above the above limit, tax equal to 1% on the “market value” will apply There are many issues – how to decide market value? 25.5 Details of the proposed wealth tax on land/houses for Military Senior officials 1. This wealth tax for Military will be implemented by “Tax Officer for Military” appointed by PM recallable by citizens 2. The PM will also appoint Registrar who is recallable by citizens Registration of properties 3. If an individual owns a flat in a housing society, then land owned by him will be land owned by the housing society multiplied by % shares he owns in that society. 4. Each person/company with a land or house will register his property with the Registrar. The owner will also register its area, exact location and other details as asked by the Registrar (this is already done in most cities; most municipalities already have land/building records) 5. If the individual owns land below 25 sq meter and construction area is also below 50 sq meters, then tax due on him will be Rs 10 per sqmt of land and Rs 10 per construction area per year. The owner does need to fill the form disclosing purchase price , purchase date and year wise alterations he has made till date. No proofs for alterations will be required for alternations made before 4 years. Registration of families, eligibility for becoming member of family 6. For the purpose of wealth tax, an individual can register himself as solitaire (alone) or part of family. which ever suits him best. 7. Family will consist of Head of the family, who can be male or female above 18 years of age. 8. The spouse of Head can become member of the family. 9. The children below 18 can become member of family with approval of both parents 10. If the children are above 18, they as well their spouses can still become member family if they have not registered their own separate families with wealth tax dept.

The parents and parents-in-law too can be member of the family unless they have separate families. And grand children of son as well as daughter can become member of family if both parents of the grand-child are members of the family. 12. The great grand children cannot become member of family 13. Unmarried or divorced siblings of the Head can be member of family, but married siblings cannot become member of the family. The sons and daughters of siblings of the Head cannot become member of the family 14. One person cannot be member of two families. 15. Persons registered as solitaire cannot be part of family. 16. If a person has more than 3 kids, only 2 can be part of family for wealth tax purposes. 17. If a person wants to form family for wealth tax person, he will need to register the family with list of members. The signature of adult members will be required and signature of parents of children will also be required. Exemption 18. The exemption limit solitaire person will be 25 sq meter of land and 50 sq meter of construction, while that for family will be [25 + 20 * (number of family members-1) ] sq meter of land and [50 + 40 * (number of family members -1)] sq m of construction area 19. Exemption for senior citizen will be twice of the normal limit. Classification of property – personal, semi-personal and impersonal 20. For the purpose of wealth tax, the owners can define the property as personal or impersonal or semi-personal depending on which valuation scheme suits him best. 21. If person is Solitaire, then a group of properties will qualify as personal if o the property has no co-owner o the sum of land area of properties is below 25 sqm o the sum construction area of properties is below 50 sqm 22. If person is Head of the family, then a group of properties will qualify as personal if o all owners of properties are family members, and none is outside the family o every family member need not be owner o sum of land area of properties is below [25 + 20 * (number of family members-1) ] sqm o sum of construction areas is below [50 + 40 * (number of family members -1)] sqm 23. There can at most one semi-personal property per solitaire if it meets following requirement o the solitaire person has not labeled any property as personal property o he is the sole owner of the property 24. There can at most one semi-personal property for a family if it meets following requirement o all owners of properties are family members, and none is outside the family o not every family member should be owner o the family has not labeled any property as personal property 25. The personal fraction in the property is ExemptionLimit/Area and impersonal fraction will be (1 – personal fraction) 26. The owner or Head can change the label on property from personal to impersonal to semiperssona any year. Registration of properties’ values Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 204 27. For the purpose of the wealth tax, there will be two values of each property ---standard value and circle rate (Jantri) value. 28. The standard value of a property will be (circle rate price at the time of purchase plus alterations made each year). The alterations will be as disclosed by the owner. The owner will not be required to provide any proof of alteration made, but must disclose the value of alteration made in the income tax statements as well. 29. The circle rate value of a property will be value based on unit rates of land and construction. Tax on the land/house 30. The tax on properties which get labeled as personal properties will be Rs 10 per sqm per year 31. On impersonal properties, the tax rate will be 1% of higher of the two values – standard value and circle rate value 32. On semi-personal properties, the tax rate will be 1% of lower of the two values -standard value and circle rate value multiplied by impersonal fraction On inability to pay taxes 33. If a person does not pay wealth tax, the tax will be due on the property and an 18% per year interest will apply 34. If the property is personal or semi-personal, then upon the death of the owner or sale of the property the taxes will be collected. There will be no confiscation 35. If the property is impersonal, the property will be auction when the due amount crosses 25% of the value of the property Reducing double burden 36. Five times the amount paid in wealth tax in a given year will be deductible from the income of the next year while calculating income tax. 25.6 How does wealth tax reduced land hoarding and decreases value of land Consider a person who has bought 10 flats for hoarding. Say each flat is worth Rs 20 lakhs. As per wealth tax law, he may be able to skip out 1 or 2 flats, but on the rest, he will have to pay 1% of Rs 1.60 cr as tax every year or pay The wealth tax stops hoarding of the land and thus brings down the land prices. This lowers the cost of land for entrepreneurs and thus number of business increase, and so does employment. IOW, wealth tax does not discourage. And if at all it does damage to industries, it is far less than income tax or sales tax or excise. 25.7 Advantages of wealth tax The wealth tax stops hoarding of the land and thus brings down the land prices. This lowers the cost of land for entrepreneurs and thus number of business increase, and so does employment. IOW, wealth tax does not discourage. And if at all it does damage to industries, it is far less than income tax or sales tax or excise. 25.8 Inheritance Tax I support Inheritance and Gift Tax equal to highest marginal income tax rate. The highest marginal income tax rate I propose is 40% at income level of about 100 per-capita GDP. So highest inheritance and gift tax will be about 40% . Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 205 In the Inheritance tax, if the heir is widow or person above 60 or handicapped person, then 1 house of up to 100 sq. meter will be tax exempt and 50 per capita GDPs will be tax exempt. If the heir is able bodied, below 60 years and not widow then a sum of about 100 per capita GDPs will be tax exempt. Anything above that will attract inheritance tax of 20% to 40%. 25.9 Customs I at RRG propose 300% Customs Duty of which 1/3rd will go directly to the citizens. The direct payment to citizens is necessary to ensure that majority supports customs duty as also ensure that persons in-charge of customs are honestly collecting the duties. The customs duties are necessary to create manufacturing skills in Indian engineers, which is necessary to create Military Industrial Complex in India. 25.10 Other changes in tax laws and drafts In addition, we at MRCM party have proposed, demanded and promised some 200 changes in tax code. All changes are well defined, and specific. The drafts of the Govt Orders and Ordinances needed to bring these changes are given on http://www.rahulmehta.com/improve_taxation.htm Review Questions 1. Consider India with 110cr citizens. Say only tax is wealth tax, for which one needs to have records of how much land/flats he possesses etc and how much alterations he did every year. Say list of alterations done take 2 page per dwelling on an average. How much is the paper work generated per years? 2. Consider India with 110cr citizens. Say only tax is sales tax , for which one needs to keep record of every sale and purchase. On an average, say a person makes 10 purchases a week. How much is the paper work generated per year? 3. In Sales Tax, tax can be evaded by not disclosing the sale. Can wealth tax be evaded? 4. Will wealth tax on land result into increase in land/flat or decrease in land/flat value?

We import almost every mobile phone. And whatever petty mobile we manufacture, they are assembled, not really manufactured. Some cars are technically manufactured in India, but assembly lines are imported, the robots used to manufacture cars are imported and most of the complex parts used in the car are also imported. The switching equipment in the phone companies are all imported. All PCs are imported or assembled. We don’t even manufacture 8 bit CPU chips and they are all imported. And China manufactures even 32 bit CPU chips. Because of inability to manufacture basic electronics components and mechanical engineering products has created chronic inability to manufacture quality weapons. We cant manufacture fighter planes, we cant manufacture tanks, we cant manufacture missiles and we cant even manufacture AK-100 level rifles. Forget manufacturing Bofors guns, we cant even manufacture its shells. The lack of manufacturing skills has made our weapon manufacturing capabilities weak. 26.2 How to improve engineering skills, productivity in India? 1. Right to Recall District Education Officer, Education Minister, University VC : I at Right to Recall Group propose to enact RTR over DEO, State Education Minister, Central education Minister, University VC and many other key positions in education. I propose to enact these RTR laws using RTI2. These RTR laws are necessary to improve class I to class XII education and college education.. 2. Saatya System over Maths, Sciences : Using RTI2, I propose to introduce Saatya System (described in next chapter ) in subjects like Maths, Science etc. The Saatya System will also promote adult education of Maths, Sciences etc. 3. Enact social security for labor : Using RTI2, I propose to enact MRCM law. The MRCM law will ensure that every citizen gets mineral royalties and land rents from GoI plots every month, and this will create social security for all citizens including labor. The social security system makes labor immune to exploitation. And this also forces the employer to pay certain minimum wage without any law. This increases employers will to improve technology that would reduce labor use. This improves manufacturing and engineering skills. The social security system also enables creative minds to leave employment and focus on their personal research. This increases new innovations in the market. 4. Hire-fire : In absence of hire-fire laws, the indiscipline and irresponsibility will increase. And when employer makes loses, forcing him to pay the labor will only force him to sell away his industry to wealthy individuals or MNCs. This will only increase the strength of MNCs and wealthy individuals. IOW, if we support a law that an employer cant expel workers to cut costs, then MNCs and wealthy individuals who have ability to bribe bank directors and Finance Ministers will be able to get low interest loans and survive this burden. But the small time employers who are in constant competitive environment, and have no contacts to bribe bank directors or Finance Ministers will be left with no option but to sell Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 207 away their units to MNCs and wealthy individuals. IOW, no-fire laws benefit wealthy and corrupt individuals only. 5. Easy entry exit laws to maximize the competition : Weapon manufacturing requires engineering talent. The only way to create engineering talent in engineers is by creating situation where in they are confronting (non-violent) ruthless competition with other engineers. Training in colleges can only make them familiar with issues and research in universities can only do some path-breaking work or waste time. An engineer acquires ground skills only when that engineer is in real industry and when he is confronting real competition. And easy entry-exit laws are necessary to maximize the competition. 6. High custom duty : Either country should be at par with technologically most advanced country in the world or laws must ensure very high import duties on all goods except natural raw materials. Since India is far from acquiring capability that would compare with even Vietnam, forget China and even forget Germany, Japan or US, it is necessary for us to impose 300% custom duty on imports so that local manufacturing gets the local market. 7. Reduce cost of land : One of the biggest fixed cost in startup is rent during initial lossmakkin period. Lesser this rent, easier it is for a person to start a new venture. How do I at Right to Recall Group propose to reduce cost/rent of the land? By using RTI2 to enact MRCM and Wealth Tax laws. MRCM reduces land rent as all entities which are occupying GoI land more than they need will now give up the excess land they have and so supply of land will increase. And Wealth Tax will reduce ability to hoard land, and so that too will bring down the cost of land. This will increase number of industries and shops and will increase employment as well engineering skills. 8. Increase purchasing power of commons : MRCM will increase purchasing power of the commons. And MRCM and Wealth Tax laws will decrease rents and so the money commons pay as rent will decrease, and this will leave them with more money to purchase goods. The abolition of VAT, Service Tax will also increase incomes or reduce costs or both in parts. So these laws proposed by me, to be passed using RTI2, will increase purchasing power. The increase in purchasing power coupled with 300% import duties will increase local manufacturing and thus increase engineering skills. 9. Creation , promotion of WOICs : In Company Act, I propose to add one more category of company called as Wholly Owned by Indians Company aka WOIC. If a company is registered as WOIC then only Indian citizens (resident in India), Govt bodies and other WOIC can purchase its shares and the individual level share-ownership will be put on the internet. And many businesses such as Telecom, Oil Drilling, Insurances, Banking etc will be allowed to WOICs only. This will further promote manufacturing in India. 26.3 Counter arguments against counter-arguments against high Custom duties The MNCs have bribes 1000s of economists in India to claim that low import duties is good for Indian citizens. These economists conveniently ignore the fact that if cheap imports are allowed, then engineering in India will never improve and Indian Military will weaken, and India will become slave of US once again. These economists have relatives in US who have greed card or they have connections with high persons in US using which they can get US green card any day. So these economists don’t mind if Indian Military weakens. But I request concerned citizens Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 208 to counter these economists who support low custom duty about how they plan to improve India’s weapon manufacturing capabilities. You will notice that these economists will start mumbling and fumbling. 26.4 Counter arguments against counter-arguments against hire-fire There are many who insist on strict labor laws and are against hire-fire. They claim that hire-fire is pro-rich and anti-poor. Lets examine these pro-labor people views in totality. Most of these so called self certified pro-labor pro-poor people oppose MRCM law i.e they oppose the proposal that mineral royalties and land rent should directly go to citizens. Why? Ask them. But my allegation is that they are not all that pro-poor, or else they would have immediately supported MRCM. But their hostility against MRCM and against giving direct payments to citizens should prove to every concerned citizens that these anti-hire-fire people are not pro-poor at all. Then why do they oppose hire-fire? Lets examine anatomy of labor laws which overprootec the labor and disallow hire-fire. The anti-hire-fire laws hurt middle level companies more than they hurt super-rich companies. Why? The super rich can give money to relative lawyers of labor court judges and High Court judges and get away with labor laws. For middle level employers it is not all that easy. Also, when there is down season, the super rich can bribe bank directors and Finance Minister, and so they can get ample amount of loans to retain the labor. But a middle level company owner will get ruined by inability to fire the labor in down turn period. So all in all, the over protected labor laws benefit super-rich over middle rich. And it benefited the foreign companies the most as strict labor laws would deter the growth in India. And this was the reason why so called labor leaders kept supporting over-protective labor laws – they were getting sponsorship from foreign elitemen and local super-elitemen, because they aw labor laws as ways to keep middle level companies in check. The grassroots workers got fooled into believing that they were serving the poor. In reality, they were serving only the super rich by supporting over-protective labor. Next argument given against hire-fire is that employer made profits during good days and so during 26.5 Stand of other Political Parties All other political parties are shamelessly ignoring the issue of raising engineering skills in India. The main reason being MNC funding coming to these parties’ leaders. I request all activists to ask their party leaders to accept the laws I have proposed to increase engineering skills in India. Their refusal to accept these laws should convince the workers that leaders loyalties are not in the right place.

And each clause in the proposed Govt Notification is 100% constitutional. # Procedure for Procedure /instruction 1 -o The word citizen would mean a registered voter o This Govt Notification will come before Cabinet Ministers only after over 38 crore citizen-voters have registered YES on it via clause-2 of RTI2 o The Notification will go to Supreme Court judges only after every Cabinet Minister has agreed with the Notification o The Notification will become applicable only if and after every Supreme Court judge has signed in favor. 2 District Collector (or his Clerk) The Govt hereby orders DC that : if a woman citizen or a dalit citizen or a farmer citizen or a labor citizen or a senior citizen or any citizen believes that existing Prime Minister or any of the previous Prime Ministers should be imprisoned for N years or Executed for corruption or other high crimes, and submits an affidavit to DC (or Clerk designated by the DC), then DC or Clerk will put his affidavit on the website of Prime Minister for a fee of Rs 20 per page. The DC or Clerk will also issue a serial number. 3 Patwari, Talati , (or his Clerks) The Govt hereby orders Patwari (Talati) : if a citizen comes in person to Talati’s office, pays Rs 2 fee , and wants to register YES on an affidavit submitted in clause-1, the Talati would enter his YES in the computer and would him a receipt with his voter-id#, date/time and the persons he approved. The fee for BPL card holder will be Re 1. 4 Patwari , Talati The Patwari will put the YESes of the citizen on PM’s website with citizen’s voter-ID number and his preferences. 5 Patwari , Talati If a the citizen comes to cancel his YES, the Patwari will cancel it without any fee. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 210 6 Prosecutor General If over 38 crore citizens approve the Imprisonment or if over 50 crore citizens approve Execution, then the Prosecutor General may or need not ask Honorable Supreme Court judges to issue a sentence to imprison or execute the Prime Minister or ex-Prime Ministers mentioned in affidavit. The decision of Prosecutor General will be final on this issue and the YES count will not be binding on him. The Prosecutor General will request a bench consisting of ALL SCjs to decide. 7 SCjs If ALL Honorable SCjs agree that issuing such sentence is Constitutional, then they may (or need not) issue a sentence to Imprison or Execute the Prime Minister. The decision of SCjs will be final and YES counts will not be binding on them. 9 Home Minister The Home Minister will personally carry out the orders of Honorable SCjs. Along with “Procedure to Imprison/Execute Prime Minister”, I have proposed about 75 drafts, all of which are 100% compliant with all the 395 articles of our Magnum Opus Constitution. And they are all compliant with all the judgments of Honorable SCjs. Some of these 75 drafts are : Imprison\Execution of SCjs by Majority, Imprison\Execution of CM by Majority, Imprison\Execution of Ministers by Majority, Imprison\Execution of HCjs by Majority etc. When the person is sentenced by Majority in a State, then the Majority of Nation can overturn the verdict. Likewise, when a person is sentenced by 27.2 Imprisonment by Majority Approval , Execution by Majority Approval We see many cases of open corruption by senior officials like PM, CMs, Ministers, District Police Chiefs , judges etc. They get away as the inside the court, few individuals decide and some of them get managed. So even when proofs of guilt exist, punishments never happen. Following is the law we propose to deal with High Crimes at Senior Places 1. Any citizen of India above 25 years can register himself as “Agree to Punishment by Majority Approval” at District, State and National level. 2. This “Punishment by Majority Approval” draft will apply only on those citizens who have registered themselves as “Agree to Punishment by Majority Approval”. 3. The option will be irreversible for life – i.e. once he has signed as “Agree to Punishment by Majority Approval”, he cannot cancel this condition. 4. If a citizen has “Agreed to Punishment by Majority Approval” at District, State or National level, then any citizen-voter in that District, State or India can pay Rs 20, demand imprisonment for of that person for N years and a fine 5. If over 50% of all citizens approve imprisonment of N years and fine of Rs X, the CM, PM may impose that sentence on him after approval of Supreme Court judges. 6. If over 67% of all citizens approve execution of that officer, the CM, PM may impose that sentence on him after approval of Supreme Court judges. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 211 7. The sentence imposed by citizens of Districts can be canceled by Citizens of State and a sentence imposed by Citizens of State can be cancelled by Citizens of India. The sentence imposed by Citizens of India can be cancelled by only Supreme Court judges. 8. Will HCjs and SCjs give verdict against approval of majority? I don’t want to discuss uselsess questions here. 9. The law will apply only on those who have registered themselves as “Agree to Punishment by Majority Approval”. The law will not apply on those who have not registered as so. Now if a CM, PM, SCj, HCj, DEO, DPC, RBI Governor etc is not registered as “Agree to Punishment by Majority Approval”, citizens cannot imprison/fine him using the above. I at RRG propose that citizens should enact “Agree to Punishment by Majority Approval” draft using RTI2. And six months after citizens have enacted this “Agree to Punishment by Majority Approval” draft, I propose that citizens should expel all unregistered persons in all class-I positions in administration, MLA or above positions in politics and Sessions judge or above positions in courts. And replace them with registered persons only. This is my opinion and a suggestion to citizens of India – not a legal proposal. If a person does not have faith in Citizens, Citizens should not give him senior positions. If a person intends to leave India, citizens must not let such a person ever come into class-I position or above. I prefer a person willing to chain himself with the ship to be the Captain, over a person who wants the option to flee the ship. 27.3 Use of “Execution by Majority Approval” I do plan to enact this dreaded and draconian “Execution by Majority Approval” law using RTI2. But the purpose is academic only. “Execution by Majority Approval” or even “Imprisonment by Majority Approval” will never ever get invoked. Then why do I propose to enact using RTI2? And why citizens may also agree to enact this law? RTR is more than sufficient to control corruption. But corruption has become so rampant and omnipresent in India’s Ministers, judges, IAS and IPS that it is difficult to convince citizens that RTR is sufficient. We have criminals like Afzal and Kasab, whose hanging gets delayed by months and years and even decades because of bribes Ministers and Minister-Makers get from Saudi Arabia. In such atmosphere, many find RTR toothless. So I need something more lethal to convince citizens, that there does exist law that can create extreme fear in the officer that he will never ever dare to think of taking bribes. And so I drafted “Execution by Majority Approval” law. The purpose of this law is only to convince citizens can corruption can indeed be controlled. Will citizens ever invoke this law? First, when will 67% citizens demand execution of a Minister, IAS, IPS or a judge? Only when that Minister, IAS, IPS or judge deserves to be hanged 100 times. And given the threat that citizens can hang him, no Minister, IAS, IPS, judge, unless he as publicity hungry as Socrates, will do something that will prompt so many crores of citizens to file YES to hang him. And even in such cases, citizens will at most imprison him. So “Execution by Majority Approval” is only to convince citizens, and solution to rampant corruption does exist, even in case RTR is not enough. Once RTR comes, it will prove itself enough, and so “Execution by Majority Approval” draft will never get used.

The law will apply on Ministers, MLAs, MPs and District Sarpanch, Mayors who agree with this law 2. The law will also apply on all class-I officers and above who agree with this law 3. This law will apply on all Sessions judges and above who agree with this law 4. This law will fix “area” for each position. Eg Area for MLA, MP will be his Constituency, area for CM will his State, for District level officer it will be his district and so forth. 5. If majority of citizen-voters in his Area demand a Truth Serum Test on that person, then a Truth Serum Test on him will be conducted in public. 6. The Jurors may or need not base their verdicts on outcome of the Truth Serum Test. The fear that he can be subject to Truth Serum Test will deter the officer, Minister, judges from taking bribes. Not only that, persons in administration will deter from coming close to a person who is known to be corrupt. This will further reduce the strength of corrupt judges, Ministers, IAS and IPS. 27.5 Reducing nepotism, favoritism, nexuses, corruption in recruitment at top position As of today, positions like District Police Chief, District Education Officer, RBI Chief etc are filled by nepotism, corruption, nexuses and favoritism. The officer who has highest nexuses comes to these positions. And after occupying these positions, all they do is serve these nexuses. The procedure of replacement automatically cuts nepotism ---for no person can have millions of citizens as relatives. To further cut nepotism, I at RRG propose direct elections for the following positions Direct elections at National Level 1. Loksabha MP (as today), Rajyasabha MP 2. PM , Deputy PM 3. National Land Rent Officer 4. Home Minister 5. RBI Chief 6. Chief National Prosecutor, Deputy Chief National Prosecutor 7. Supreme Court Chief judge, 4 senior most Supreme Court judges Total – about 14 positions Direct elections at State Level 8. MLAs (as today) 9. CM, Deputy CM 10. State Land Rent Officer 11. State Police Chief, 4 members of State Police Boards 12. Chief State Public Prosecutor, 4 senior most State prosecutors 13. Chief High Court Judge, 4 senior most High Court judges Total – about 19 positions Direct elections at District Level 14. District Panchayat Members (as today) Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 213 15. Mayor 16. District Education Officer 17. Chief District Public Prosecutor, 4 senior most District prosecutors 18. Chief District Judge , 4 senior most District prosecutors 19. District Police Chief, 4 members of District Police Boards Total – about 18 positions Using RTI2, I propose to enact Govt Notifications using which citizens can elect persons in the above positions. In addition, citizens will have procedure to replace them, and also replace persons at about 150-200 positions. The terms will be 4 years. Overall, the system would need 2 polls a year, with one poll deciding fate of about 5-6 positions. We support paper ballot only, and oppose electronic ballot. The cost of poll as of now, Jul-2008, is Rs 10 per poll per voter, and can be brought down to Rs 5 per poll per voter. Much of the expenses is in policing and that would decrease as power attached with each position decreases and courts improve. That apart, by adding bar code with voter-ID and other means, cost can be brought down to Rs 3 per voter. Over all, the system of having 45 to 50 elected officials with 4 year term would cost about Rs 150 per person every 4 years or about Rs 40 person per year and reducing favoritism and nepotism to near zero. The election in constituency larger than 100,000 kills nepotism, favoritism as well as nexuses. No one can have even 1000 relatives or nexuses with 1000 people, and so it is clear that effect of nepotism will be less than 1%. Further, when constituency is above 10,00,000 voters, no caste will have majority and if a caste is even as large as 25%, it breaks down into many subcasstes And so in constituency larger than 10,00,000 voters, casteism also becomes a minor factor. Hence election is superior than existing procedure of appointments.

Much of the nepotism and corruption is because of discretionary powers and interviews. One of my proposal at my MRCM Party is to reduce nepotism by canceling interviews and confine to broad based written recruitment exams at all entry level positions and Govt colleges. If the person is in-appropriate, the Jury can expel him, but recruitment wont involve any interviews. Further, we will cancel interviews in all exams inside all colleges, including medical colleges. Using RTI2, I propose to enact GNs that will abolish interviews at all entry level positions in administration and courts, and encourage written exams (and or physical tests where applicable). 28.2 Truth serum test by approval of Jury Using RTI2, I propose to enact the following law, which can be used to administer truth serum test on junior officers : 1. If anyone is accused of rape or murder and if over 13 out of 25 Jurors demand TST (TST = Truth Serum Test) on the accused or complainer, then unless majority of citizens block TST, the investing officers will conduct TST on him. 2. If the accused is accused of a crime other than rape or murder, and accused is not a Govt employee, then approval of over 18 out of 25 Jurors will suffice for truth serum test. 3. If the accused is accused of a crime other than rape or murder, and accused is a Govt employee, then approval of over 13 out of 25 Jurors will suffice for truth serum test. 4. If over 18 out of 25 Jurors approve, then TST will be telecast live. 5. If accused demands TST, then TST will be given immediately. . The fear of TST will deter people, including Govt officials, from committing crimes. 28.3 National ID system The National-ID system is useful to log details of common citizens as well as govt officers good and bad actions. The details of the Govt Order needed to create National-ID system is at http://www.rahulmehta.com/national_id_system.htm . 28.4 RRG demands to reduce wasteful expenses We propose following solution to control the wasteful expenses 1. Every transfer out of ANY Govt account and cashbook will be published on Govt website with details of expenses such as project code, operations amount, date task performed , date payment made etc 2. The expense record will also have explicit mention of the names of the officers who recommended and cleared the expenses 3. The record will also show the full details of the receivers 4. If any citizen has evidences to show that the expenses were wasteful, then he may approach the Grand Jurors, who may approve the trial 5. If the Jurors are convinced that the expense was wasteful, they may expel, fine the officer.

This will enable citizens to decide whether they should be supported or not. In addition, every Govt officer would be required to give a list of all his close relatives who are serving in Govt. This can be used by citizens to get an idea about the nepotism in the administration. 28.6 Other party’s and intellectuals stand on reducing nepotism , filing disclosures The leaders of other parties and all intellectuals have opposed canceling interviews. They insist that interviews must be taken. And most party’s leaders have opposed disclosure of assets owned by Govt officers, judges, Ministers etc. And almost all of them oppose broad based election of 35-50 officials at District, State and National levels. If citizens are directly electing/replacing District Police Chief, this reduces the incomes of CM who appoint/transfer them. We request all citizens to ask their favorite party’s leaders on what they intend to do on issue of strengthening the Military and decide if they are worth voting for. And we also request activists to ask intellectuals on this issue, and decide if they are worth following. Review Questions 1. Please provide the drafts of the laws BJP MPs proposed in Assembly, Parliament to reduce corruption in admin 2. Please provide the drafts of the laws CPM MPs proposed in Assembly, Parliament to reduce corruption in admin 3. Please provide the drafts of laws Congress MPs proposed in Assembly, Parliament to reduce corruption in admin 4. Please provide draft of the law to reduce nepotism in interview process 5. In 2003, intellectuals demanded that election candidates should be required to disclose wealth. Why do intellectuals oppose the demand that judges to should be required to disclose wealth? 6. Many leaders have wealth stashed in their trusts. Then also intellectuals dont insist on getting wealth return of their trusts. Why?

And the Karachi Adhiveshan was co-drafted by Mahatma Gandhi himself !! This demand was a demand cum promise i.e. a promise from Mahatma Gandhi and company to people of India that if and when Congress comes into power, they will make right to bear weapons a Fundamental Right. I believe that Mohanbhai, Vallabhbhai, Jawaharbhai did not have any intention to keep this promise when they made it. It was a dishonest promise made with intention of not keeping. They had made this promise only because Shri Bhagat Singhji had put such views. And these views had become so popular in commons and activists that Mohanbhai et al had no option but to add them to their books to retain their market share in the activists. Mohanbhai and Company never wanted an armed citizenry as the British elitemen and Indian elitemen who sponsored Mohanbhai and Co. did not want an armed citizenry. The existing intellectuals insist of keeping us commons weak so that their sponsor elitemen can beat us commons via criminals and policemen, and not worry about retaliation or deterrence. If we commons are armed, it would become impossible to beat us commons left, right and center and fleece money from us. So Indian intellectuals never told students and activists via newspapers or textbooks that Mohanbhai and company in 1931 had demanded right to bear weapons, and also demanded that it should be made a Fundamental Right. In addition, intellectuals tell the non-80G-activists that Indian commons are irrational, fools, temperamental, violent natured, aggressive etc and so only “weapons” a common of India should have is nailcuttter takali, charkha, truth, non-violence, satyaagrah etc. One should note the double talk of Indian intellectuals. When asked why Russia or China style revolution did not happen in India, they say Indians are by nature non-violent and too tolerant. And when asked why shouldn’t Indian commons have guns? They will do a 180 degree turn and say India’s commons are too aggressive and violent and so they must not have guns !! I would have argued with them, if at all I thought they were honest. 29.2 Make right to bear arms a Fundamental Right and Fundamental Duty We at MRCM Party pledge to make weapon bearing a Fundamental Right as well as a Fundamental Duty i.e. a person will be required to keep a non-automatic gun and 240 bullets in his home. The duty will enforced on all able bodied male between the age of 21 and 45 and for females it will encouraged but not compulsory. The duty is similar to Switzerland where in a male resident between 21 and 45 is required to keep gun and 24 bullets at home. 29.3 Weaponization of Commons : the Mother of Democracy The democracy had perished in most of Europe by 300 AD, and re-started in about 950 AD in Britain. In 950 AD in Britain, the King had to enact a procedure that if a policeman is involved in death of a citizen, the King’s Officer named as Coroner will call 7-12 citizens at random from the census list. The citizens were allowed to ask questions to the policemen and Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 217 victim’s family members etc were allowed to make statements. As the end of the inquiry, each Juror would say one of the three words about the accused officer’s conduct : Justifiable, Excusable or Criminal. Though there is no explicit law, but if majority of the Jurors say “conduct was criminal”, then the officer’s service is almost terminated. Now why did the King in 950 AD enact this procedure? Was there any demand by then intellectuals to have “citizen’s participation in Govt”? NO. The reason was that so many citizens were armed in Britain back then, that the King could see that citizens cannot be suppressed by Military and Police anymore. And so the citizens managed to get this power over policemen. (Aside : The King had to let so many citizens bear arms as the Arab armies had conquered Spain in South and Turkey in East, and so fight against Arab armies, the Kings and priests had no option but to arm a big part of the citizenry). Then later, in about 1100-1200 AD, the King was forced to sign Magna Carta , in which he had to accept that citizens will not be imprisoned or fined without permission of Jurors. The citizens and Knights could force the King to sign Magna Carta only because a large number of citizens had weapons. Further, in 1650, the King was executed when he disobeyed the Parliament. Back in 1650, Parliament represented less than 5% of population. But the Nobility was only 0.1% of population. And the bottom 95% was closer to the 5% than 0.1% and so they supported the 5%. In 1650, Parliament of UK created its own army and defeated the Royal Army. The King was captured Parliament decided to form a Special Court to sentence the King. General Cromwell, who was the commander of Parliament’s Army, blocked the pro-King MPs from entering the Parliament. The anti-King MPs passed a resolution to create a court consisting of 70 judges !! And the judges were none but the anti-King MPs themselves. And this court and these 70 MPs-cum-judges after “fair and impartial” trial decided to execute the King in 1650. Later, the MPs kept the statue of King is there is Royal Museum with one word below it “REMEMBER”. IMO, it is a warning to all next Kings. But Parliament could raise army, defeat Royal army and execute the King because citizens were armed to teeth. An unarmed citizenry could not have put up such a fight. IOW, modern democracy has come because of armed citizenry. In fact, I can show that Democracy is a system where in commons are armed or so called Democracy is nothing but a welcome symptom of armed citizenry and nothing else. 29.4 Weaponization of us Commons : the Mother of Welfare State In 1930, many Americans lost jobs, and had no money to buy food and lost their homes as they had no money to pay rents. The American elitemen immediately raised income tax from 25% in 1928 to 70% in 1936 in stages and raised inheritance tax from 20% in 1928 to 70% in 1936. And a wealth tax was imposed of about 1% of land value approximately. The money was used for creating shelter homes, soup kitchens (free food), doles, Military Industrial Complex (to create jobs) and also other industrial activities (like roads etc). Deficit financing was used, but over a period of 1932-2008, altogether, less than 20% of all expenses came from deficits, rest 80% came from this income tax, wealth tax and inheritance tax and other taxes. Why did American elitemen agree to pay such taxes? Not because of electoral process, because electoral process in US at Federal level has no Right to Recall and so it is very weak. The compelling reason why US elitemen created high taxes to fund welfare system was the fact that over 70% of citizens had guns. IOW, weaponization of commons is the mother of Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 218 welfare state. In India, citizens are not armed, and so elitemen lavishly spend Govt money on IIMs, JNU, UGC, highways, flyways, skyways, airports etc rather than solving hunger problems. The so called Welfare State is nothing but a welcome symptom of armed citizenry and nothing else. And absence of welfare state is due to lack of arms in the citizenry. 29.5 Weaponization of Commons : the true source of repelling invasions India is facing hostilities from Pakistan (backed by Sauds) , China and US. Pakistan is more than eager to throw 1000 Kargils on India. China threatens attack on Arunachal Pradesh issue. And US has been consistently helping ISI in sending terrorists into India to kill 100s and 1000s of Indians so that India has to depend on US for “protection from Pakistan”. In addition, US and UK have covertly insisting on Independent Kashmir so that US/UK can build bases there. Now if US, China and Sauds provide all the money and weapons to Pakistan, India can be in serious trouble. The Military of mere 11,00,000 and other para-military of 10,00,000 will not be sufficient. The best way to build a deterrence is to arm each and every citizen. As Joseph Stalin said in 1941, every hands which can lift a gun should have gun, we say “imprison able bodied young men those who refuse to bear guns”. Arming the whole citizenry is surest and fastest way to deter Pakistan, US etc. When commons are weaponized, most powerful armies decide not to attack that country. eg in 1940, the ONLY reason Adolf did not attack Switzerland was because every citizen in Switzerland was armed to teeth. Otherwise, Adolf were very much attracted by the gold in the Swiss banks , which they needed badly to fund the wars. It was the fact that every Swiss had gun which deterred Adolf. The Indian intellectuals lie that Adolf did not attach Swiss as he respected their autonomy. This is utter lie and a myth invented to keep activists and students of India unaware about importance of armed citizenry. 29.6 Weaponization of Commons : the true source of freedom In 1938, number of British with weapons in India was mere 80,000. And they ruled nation of 35cr !! And today, 100,000 soldiers of US are not able to control Afghanistan of mere 3 cr of population. Why? Because over 99% of commons in India did not have guns, where as in Afghanistan, gun culture is so intense that people would make fun of a man and his whole family if he does not have a gun. IOW, India was slave because commons were unarmed. An dif Afghanistan has still not become total slave, it is due to armed society. Some 40 lakh people in Bengal died in 1940s. Not because there was no grain, but they did not have guns, and so could not stop British and elitemen from stealing away the grains. If citizens have no guns, there is no freedom ---no freedom from external powers and no freedom from local elitemen. Armed citizenry is the only known source of lasting freedom. 29.7 Weaponization of Commons : the mother of revolution The 950 AD revolution which gave Coroner Jury to British was because of armed citizenry. The 1200 AD revolution in which the King was forced to sign Magna Carta and give “power to punish” to commons (Juries) was due to armed citizenry. The 1650 revolution in Britain which led to effect end of Monarchy and rise of elected MPs was because of armed citizenry. And French Revolution happened only because sizeable number of citizens had arms. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 219 The Russian Revolution in 1917 happened because in years 1700s, Czars had started arming citizenry, in and 1800s, Military Service was made almost compulsory and in 1910s as many as 15% to 20% of Russians were armed. The Chinese Revolution too had happened because sizeable population of China was armed. The most noteworthy were the “armed non-violent revolutions” in US, UK and almost whole of Europe in 1930s which led to establishment of Welfare States. Since as much as 60% to 70% population had guns, the revolutionaries did not even need to organize and fire shots at elitemen or even pull out their guns and point them to the elitemen. Without a gunshot, te elitemen cowed down and created Welfare Sate in US and across Europe. And last but least, India got freedom ONLY because of guns and not because Charkha Brigade run by Mohanbhai and Company aka Congress. Due to WW2, British had to train over 40 lakhs Indians as soldiers and Military engineers. The Indian engineers in 1945 were capable of manufacturing guns and bullets, and so unlike 1857, Indians soldiers would not have run out bullets in 1946. The fear of Indian soldiers revolting was there since 1857. But till 1930, British were capable of suppressing them, as Indian citizens did not know how to manufacture bullets and gins. But in 1946, the British saw that Indian soldiers cannot be suppressed if they were to revolt. The Navy Revolt, whom shameless Indian historians refer as Navy Mutiny, was the last nail in the coffin. The fear had become reality. And so British left India. IOW, British left because of guns, not because of charkha, takali, satyaagrah, non-violence and other nonsense. Suffices to say that weaponization of commons is the key factor that has created ALL violent or non-violent revolutions in history so far. 29.8 False propaganda by Intellectuals against weaponization of commons The Indian intellectuals claim that crimes will increase if we commons have guns. This is a lie. In countries where citizenry is unarmed, crime is high. Why? Because criminals who have nexuses with policemen, Ministers and judge anyway, they have arms anyway and so these criminals run amok. In countries where citizenry is armed to teeth, the criminals are deterred from attacking citizens to a considerable extent. The Indian intellectuals have unleashed a false propaganda since 1950s that weaponizing us commons will increase deaths. This is nonsense. In Swiss, Canada and many countries, where commons have tons of guns, homicide is bare minimal. US is the only country with armed citizenry and fairly high homicide rate. But how high is this homicide rate? And it is higher than gun-less citizenries? The number of gun related homicide in US in 2005 was less than 16000 (and number of deaths in vehicle accidents were about 40000). One reason for high gun deaths in US is ban on drugs ---the ban on drugs has increased costs and so addicts resort to crimes. And ban on drugs has increased profits and so gangs fight for territories to sell drugs. But even without such factors, say armed citizenry in India causes 10 times i.e. 160,000 deaths in India every year. Even then, weaponization will reduce deaths. How? Because weaponization of commons will the “poverty deaths”. When citizens are armed, as US/European events of 1930s show, rulers take citizens’ miseries more seriously and this alone reduces poverty. IOW, if citizenry of India was armed, it would have been less poor. So the weaponization of commons will reduce the “poverty deaths” in India. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 220 The economists have refused to accept the term “poverty deaths” i.e. deaths coming early due to lack of food, medicine and hygiene. But poverty deaths exists. In India, about 60 out 1000 infants die each year. The number translates into about 10,00,000 deaths a year. If poverty was even slightly lower, at least 500,000 would have been able to live a many years longer. Likewise, some 60000 women in India die during pregnancy each year. Most of them are from poor families. If they had just Rs 1000 a year more, many would have survived. Out of 1 cr people who die in India every year due by natural causes, lakhs of them would have lives a few years longer if they had Rs 2000 a year more. Consider 40 lakh Benaglies who died in 1940s. They did not die because they did not have grains but they died as they did not have guns to stop British and Indian elitemen from robbing away the grains. If these Bengalies in 1940s had guns, they would not have died of hunger. That one “savings” of poverty death alone that weaponization would give outweighs possible deaths that homicides may cause. To that add the 10 lakh Indians who died in partition violence. Much fewer would have died if they all had guns to protect themselves. And to that, add reduction of say 10 lakhs to 20 lakhs of poverty deaths. So even if gun violence in India causes 1 lakh deaths a year, the “savings” in poverty deaths would give more benefits. 29.9 My proposals wrt weaponization of us Commons The Congress and its leaders such Sri Vallabhbhai Patel, Sri Jawaharlal Nehru and Rashtrapita Mahatma Gandhijee had made a promise to Indian citizens in 1931 that Congress would make right to bear weapons a fundamental right. And I propose to enact law to keep this promise.

Using proposed RTI2, enact Right to Recall District Education Officer, State Education Minister, Central Education Minister and University Vice Chancellor. 2. Using RTI2, enact Saatya System to improve education of Maths, other important subjects 3. Provide law education starting class VI 4. Provide universal weapon use education 5. Give subsidies directly to students instead of colleges 6. Providing biligual textbooks for all languages 7. Allowing students to take optional exams in English, if the want And many more proposals are given at http://rahulmehta.com/improve_education.htm . 30.2 Right to Recall District Education Officer The exact draft, which will come into effect when CM signs this law is as follows: # Procedure for Procedure /instruction 1 -The word parent would mean a father or mother with a kid between age 0 to 18 who should also be a registered voter in that district ; DC means District Collector or officer deputed by him for the tasks of this GO DEO means District Education Officer. 2 Collector If any citizen of India wishes to become DEO (District Education Officer) , and he appears in person or via a lawyer with affidavit before the DC, the DC would accept his application to become DEO after taking filing fee same as deposit amount for MP election. 3 Talati , (or Talati’s Clerks) If a parent comes in person to Talati’s office, pays Rs 3 fee , and approves at most five persons for the DEO position, the Talati would enter his approvals in the computer and would him a receipt with his voter-id#, date/time and the persons he approved. 4 Talati The Talati will put the approvals of the parent on district’s website with citizen’s voter-ID number and names of the persons he approved. 5 Talati If a the parent comes to cancel his Approvals, the Talati will cancel one of more of his approvals without any fee. 6 Collector On every 5th of month, the Collector or officer he deputes will publish Approval counts for each candidate as on last date of the previous month.

He may become DEO of at most 5 districts in the State and at most 20 districts in India. A person cannot be DEO of one District for over 8 years in his life. In case he is DEO of more than one district, he will get salaries , allowances, perks etc for the DEO positions of all those districts. 9 CM As long as a DEO has approvals of more than 34% parents, CM need not replace him. But if a DEO’s approval goes below 34%, the CM can replace him with the officer of his choice. 10 DEO DEO shall administer class1-12 schools and the examination centers in the Districts, as per existing and later amended laws. The DEO shall get funds from PM, CM and District Panchayat Chief as per the laws made by citizens and MPs, MLAs and District Panchayat members. 11 DEO DEO shall administer education of the following subjects – Maths, Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English, Hindi, local language, Military History, Law and administrative setup, History of law and administrative setup, Military training and weapon use education. He shall administer the education as per the laws made by MPs, MLAs etc. 12 DEO DEO will continue with education of Sanskrit and Social Sciences. But if over 51% of citizens demand discontinuation of this courses, the DEO may remove them from the compulsory course. 13 DEO DEO may allow any citizen to become “registered private tutor” for a fee of Rs 100. 14 DEO DEO may allow any parent to change his child’s tutor by filing Tutor’s name at the Talati’s office 15 DEO DEO may conduct 1-4 exams in Mathematics every month for class1-12 students. In addition, he will conduct exams ion Sciences, Law and other subjects. The exams may be computerized tests. The list of possible questions for each year/quarter will consists of 10000 to 100000 questions and will be published. The exams may consists of 30-100 questions from that list 16 DEO DEO may give rewards based on available funds, examination performance to the student and his tutor. The tutor will not receive any other salary from Govt except these payments.

How would RTR-DEO improve DEO? First, the threat of prompt replacement alone would force him to reduce corruption. But that does not do much. At the end, we want a DEO who is not interested in corruption to begin with, not someone who is reducing corruption because of threat of replacement. How does RTR-DEO in six months provide hundreds of DEOs who are not interested in corruption at all? I will explain the process of how RTR-DEO will accomplish that. There are about 700 DEOs in India. All 700 are intelligent, capable and efficient. And out of them about say about 10-15 are not interested in corruption. That asset is what we already have. Now my RTR-DEO procedure has one clause ---that if an officer is appointed as DEO by CM, he can be DEO of only one district ; but if citizens have made him DEO, he can be DEO of up to 5 districts in State and up to 10 districts in India. And he would get salaries of all those districts i.e. if a person is DEO of 4 districts and has been appointed by citizens, then his salary will be 4 times. This is cheaper as only salary becomes 4 times, medical benefits, other benefits and many lifelong benefits do not become 4 times. And a later modification makes this feature of “horizontal promotion” or “horizontal expansion” more radical ---the salary will become (N * Log2N) times where N is number of Districts he obtains via citizens’ approvals. Further, a person will be entitled to hold several positions across departments i.e. he may be DEO of 10 districts and also become District Health Officer of 10 districts with some limits. In addition, there is provision for vertical rise i.e. if he serves as District Prosecutors of several Districts, his chances of becoming State Prosecutors of one and more States increases. So out of existing 700 DEOs, say 5-15 are non-corrupt. Once RTR-DEO comes, they will see an opportunity to do well as well as expand horizontally as well as vertically. The will start introducing positive changes in the schools in their districts. They will stop middle officers from taking bribes, they will ensure that contractors are putting furniture like blackboard, chairs etc in schools. They will ensure that teachers do attend schools etc. And when they do so, they will no longer give hafta to CMs. Now lets say in all cases CMs transfer them. Then out of 7-15 such cases, in at least 2-5 cases, the parents in order to save their kids’ education will bring that officer back using RTR-DEO. So that would improve education in 2-5 districts out of 700 districts of India. What about the rest? Well, say you are living in district-A. Now say that DEO of A is corrupt and inefficient. Say there are 5 near by districts B, C D, E and X. Say district X alone has good DEO. Then citizens of district-A now have a choice – they can expel DEO of their district and give double charge of DEO of X. This very choice and power, that “citizens can now expel me using RTR and bring DEO of X in my place” will create a threat in the minds of DEO of A, B, C, D and E. So either they will all improve within 2-3 months, or citizens will expel them using RTR and replace him with DEO of X. And within 8-10 months, all 700 DEOs will improve or face expulsion. And within 10-20 months, the officers with “get rich quick” and “hell with citizens” mentality from will start leaving administration, and will no longer join administration. So those who want to serve will have now more room and less corrupt people who will interfere.. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 224 The existing Govt procedures have a flaw that salary etc of an honest person does not double if he does twice the work, a phenomenon common in business. This de-motivates honest people from joining Govt. The RTR procedures I have proposed enable officers to hold multiple chairs and gain more salaries. This will increase the inflow of honest as well as enterprising persons into Govt. I have proposed RTR over not just District Education Officers, but also over District Health Officer, District Police Chief, District Supply Officer (in charge of rationing) etc. I have proposed RTR over some 30-50 District level positions including district judges. So there are about 700 districts and so RTR will apply on about 30000 officers, judges. The day RTR comes, some 15000 will improve within 24 hours. And when mere 2-5 officers get expelled in India in district in first month, the remaining 15000 across India will also improve. IOW, RTR will not require citizens to expel even 50 out of 30000 officers. Expulsion of just 2-3 officers will serve as enough warning for the rest. So RTR will not create any instability at all. Same way, I have proposed RTR State Govt level positions and Central Govt positions such as CM, PM, Ministers, HCjs, SCjs etc. In some cases, they will continue. In some cases they will get expelled and replaced by better persons in their level or lower levels. 30.4 Enacting procedures to expel teaching staff 1. DEO will initially appoint Principals in schools run by the Municipal Corporation. The teachers will be selected with a 3 year contract open competitive exams. There will be transfer every year. Transfers will be via random matching only. 2. Jury procedure for/against a school teacher : If there is a complain against a school teacher, and prima-facie doubt is established, a Jury of 10 citizens will be summoned. If over 7 Jurors decide that the teacher is misfit to serve the students, the teachers will be transferred to a different school. After 3 such transfers, he will be expelled. The procedure of replacement of District Education Officer will alone go long way to improve education, and so will procedure to expel the teachers. 30.5 Saatya System for Maths Education Questions, Exams and Rewards 1. The system will have a list of thousands of Maths questions for each of the 12 standards. Questions will be multiple choice. The list will be published and will be in public domain. 2. Depending on the availability of resources, the District Education Officer will setup 1-4 exams per month for each students 3. Each exam will have 30-120 questions randomly chosen from the list for that quarter. Duration would be 1-3 minutes per question. Each exam will have 500-1000-more students 4. There would be monthly cash rewards for students/teachers based on the performance in the exams. These cash rewards will be the ONLY funding that Maths teachers and schools will get from the state. There will no salary for the Maths teacher. 5. The rewards can be as follows: Say Rs. 10 for each student and his teacher who gets (Average -10%) and Rs. 20 each student and his teacher who gets more marks than (Average + 10%). Also, each parent gets additional 25% of what the student gets. In addition, for Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 225 students after class V, additional 25% of what the student got goes to his teachers of past 2 years. The exact amount of the reward will depend on the money allocated to DEO that year. Administration of Exams 6. The testing centers would be operated by District Education Officer. 7. The DEO will arrange for the buildings, desks, computer terminals, servers, printing reports, allocating rewards etc. for the testing centers using the taxes he collects. DEO would appoint clerks, supervisor, assistants etc. to run test center. The citizens may expel an employee using Jury Trial. 8. DEO, or his clerks, using random choice, will instruct a student to go to a testing center near his school/home. For each month, the testing center can be different. Each student will get a different desk in test. This reduces the chances of cheating. 9. The server computer, upon the instruction of the supervisor, will randomly choose 60 questions from a list of 1000s public domain questions. 10. Each student will get the same 30-60 questions in different random order. Thus two students sitting next to each other will be getting questions in a different order. The server will not allow the student to change the answer to a question after he has answered it. The server will allow at most 5 minutes per question. This will make the exam cheat proof. 11. The DEO will pay the rewards for all the tests of that month before 10th of next month. 12. Testing cost will be below Rs 5 per test, not counting the land cost. Dispensing Rewards for Maths Exams 13. If over 95% students answered a question or if less than 5% students answered a question, the DEO will not count that question at all. 14. The DEO will decide number of tests to be conducted for each subject for a given class. For example, lets say that DEO decides that every month, there will be 2 Maths test, 1 Physics tests, 1 Chemistry tests, 1 Biology test, 2 Law tests etc. 15. The software will issue the points right after the exam. Selection of Maths teacher in Saatya System 16. In the system I described, any person can register himself as a Maths teacher. 17. The parent of the child will decide which Maths teacher’s class his child will attend. The parents can change the teacher any month. 30.6 Saatya System for other Subjects The system I described can be used for many subjects such as • Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology etc) • English vocabulary, grammar, sentence construction, translating sentences from English to another language and vice versa. (not English Literature) • Hindi (vocabulary, grammar, sentence construction, sentence translation, not literature) • Other languages (vocabulary, grammar, sentence construction, sentence translation, not literature) • Military History, Technology History, History of Laws and Administrative Setups • Geography, map-making and surveying practical at Local/District levels 30.7 Providing Law education Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 226 1. some 15-20 students will be asked to attend complete session of a few cases in a courtroom. 2. once the case is over, they would be asked to discuss and write their opinions covering the following issues (analysis) was the punishment (or acquittal) fair? was form of punishment (prison, fine etc.) fair? what exact laws were applicable in this case? are these laws fair? what were the evidences? were these evidences fair? Etc etc 3. discuss and write about following (synthesis) what should have been the laws, if the laws were unfair? is the text of the law simple enough to understand? can you provide simpler text? what should have been the punishment in your opinion? could anything have been done to stop that crime? is there anything that would have made the trial faster? simpler? Etc etc 4. Each case would invoke new issues. Much of the plan would be left to the teacher/students. The students would be supervised by a teacher for 1-2 hr. a week. It would be more interesting if schools can ask retired judges or a retired/practicing lawyers or a technical expert in the field of the case to occasionally participate in the discussion. 5. The students would be asked to take cases in the subordinate as well as higher courts. 6. The cases would be chosen at random. 7. The texts will also have information on actual things (corruption, nepotism, atrocities etc) that do happen in administration and courts 30.8 Providing weapon use education I at RRG propose that Military training to all adults, children above 16 should be given. 30.9 Providing English Education RRG proposes to provide English education to all citizens from age of 5 years to 80 years. All textbooks from class-I to colleges will be made bilingual i.e. odd numbered pages will be English translation of the even numbered pages in the local language. This will apply for all subjects, Maths, Sciences, Law etc. The students will be free to write exams of these subjects in local languages and in addition can also write second optional exam of these subjects in English. The score of second exams will not carry any weight.

To make matter worse, the intellectuals have sworn not to inform citizens about ID systems, and so many people still believe that ID system just means “issuing a card” , which is not the case. The important part in an ID system is an entry into Govt database ---not the card as the card can be easily forged. And the intellectuals keep misleading people by saying lies like : “US has ID system -they haven’t been able to stop illegals" . I shall later refute that lie. What is ID-system? ID-system is NOT card alone – the card is tiny part of it. An ID system is a system where-in records of citizens , other persons, companies etc are obtained accurately. A foolproof ID-system is trivially possible, and is highly inexpensive on per capita basis. And the ID-system trivially solves many problems : 1. If Person-ID system combined with a law that “employer must report employee’s ID, finger print, photo” can reduce infiltration of Bangladeshies to less than 1% of what is now 2. ID system can eliminate be-naami land holdings and can reduce tax evasions 3. ID system can reduce cost of record keeping every Govt dept and eases the task of tracking suspects and thus reduce policing costs 4. ID system with DNA database is useful in tracking rapists and many other criminals 5. ID system with DNA database can be useful in building and verifying “relationship registry” using which existing Bangladeshies can be tracked, proved and expelled. If ID system and law to “report every employee” is not enacted, then population of Bangladeshies will increase in North East to a point that NE will become part of Bangladesh and cores of Indians in NE will be killed the way they were killed in 1947. I at RRG propose to create Person-ID system within one year, and a Citizen-ID system in 2 years. The outlines of the drafts of GNs needed to enact the Person-ID system and Citizen-ID system are given in this Manifesto. 31.2 Expectations from a Citizen-ID system This book is our Manifesto. We really did not prefer to describe what ID system means. But sadly, intellectuals of India are so intensely against giving information about ID system to us commons, that most of us do not even know what ID system means and what it can do. A Citizen-ID system is a system which enables a community and a govt officer to ensure that a particular person is “one of us”, he is whom he says and he is same as one described in the Govt records. Following are some of the issues related to an ID-system 1. ID number must not change for life 2. ID number should be unique nation wide 3. Every citizen must have Citizen-ID ; all non-citizen visitors must have different type of ID 4. A citizen must get a serial number as soon as he applies. And it is possible to cut the delay to say 15 minutes, rather than days 5. It should be possible to fix the errors in Govt records within minutes. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 228 6. A citizen must be able to get a new ID card if his original one is lost within hours 7. There should be sufficient details on the card so that it is possible and easy for an officer to ensure that the person holding the ID card is same as the person in the card. The modern technology has solved these problems some 20 to 30 years ago. And today, they have been solved to the level of triviality. How? Consider finger print. By scanning finger prints in computer, the identity of a person can be checked. Now say in a population of 10 lakh say some 1000 citizens have fraudulently obtained two different ID cards. Then by comparing the finger prints, the modern computers can detect over 95% of these duplicates within hours. Also, a person can be required to submit blood group details such as ABO, +/-, MN, K etc factors. Basically, there some two dozen factors in human blood which makes blood group of a person “nearly” unique. If same person has obtained two different ID numbers, his blood group details on the cards will be same, and a computer by detecting duplicates can catch him. And once the system gets funding to obtain DNA profiles, all identity and duplicate related issues will vanish. 31.3 Person-ID system , Citizen-ID system We propose to build citizen-ID system in following way 1. Issue Person-ID to every person in India and their children within one year 2. One year later, the Person-ID will be issued to only those whose both parents have person-ID. Thus new coming adult Bangladeshies will not be able to get Person-ID 3. Enact a law that employers will need to report Employee’s Person-ID to Govt. This will enable Govt to track down fake IDs and catch Bangladeshies with fake IDs. This will disable new coming adult Bangladeshies to get jobs in India , and so their inflow will reduce. 4. After one year, build DNA database and “relative tree” in the system – i.e. each person in system is linked to as many of his blood relatives as possible. 5. The person with Person-ID may approach institutions who have issued him certificates such as school leaving certificates, college degrees etc. The institutions will upload the certificates with Person-ID on registrar’s website. 6. A person can verify his records on Registrar’s website using his Person-ID 7. After one year, start Jury based tribunal to decide which person is Indian or non-Indian. After his non-Indian-ness is verified, he will be expelled from India. Such trials would go on for about 2 years 8. After 2 years, the Person-ID system will become Citizen-ID system 31.4 What would Person-ID contain? An ID-card should have following details 1. ID number : 11 digit ID number issued to all adults and later only at birth 2. Parents’ IDs 3. Name, address 4. Parents’ name 5. Names, IDs , relation of at least 50 relatives 6. Date of issuing ID card, place of issuing ID card 7. Photographs 8. Names on other IDs such as ration card , school certificate Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 229 9. Date of birth, approximate year of birth if DoB proof is not available 10. DoB in on other certificates. 11. Fingerprints of thumbs and all fingers 12. Blood group details from randomly chosen three different labs. 13. DNA-prints : if and when cost becomes affordable. In the beginning, the DNA prints should be made compulsory for all Govt servants, then all citizens who earn above Rs 10 lakhs a year, then citizens who earn Rs 5 lakhs a year, then all citizens who earn Rs 200,000 a year and then all citizens at their cost and time. 14. If a non-citizen has obtained an ID by fraud, the Jurors can issue a prison sentence of up to 10 years. This will be also helpful in expelling Bangladeshies and Pakistani intruders. 31.5 How to create Person-ID system 1. The PM will appoint a Registrar over Person-ID system. The citizens may replace him using replacement procedures. 2. The PM will allocate funds necessary to him to create Person-ID system. or the Registrar may submit a proposal which and when get approved by citizens or MPs he shall get the necessary funds. 3. The citizens can expel the staff of Person-ID system using a Jury Trial. 4. The Registrar (or his staff) will issue an 11 digit serial number starting with 2 , 3 or 4 for each citizen of India resident in the district with following details : name as on ration, photograph, birth date on birth certificate, birth date on school leaving certificate (if different from birth on birth certificate), address, finger print, blood groups, DNA-prints (at later stage), serial number etc. The 11th digit will be ‘checksum’ digit. 5. For first year, any a person who states he is Indian citizen shall get the Person-ID. Later, if a National-level Jury decide that he was not Indian citizen, the Jurors may sentence him for up to 10 years in prison. 6. The Registrar will issue two ID cards -a long and a short. The small card will have only 4 details such as Name, ID number, DoB and photo and finger print. The long card will have several details such as name on ration card, name on school leaving certificate, name on PAN-ID, name of Passport, various dates of birth on passport, school leaving certificate and details blood profile, detailed DNA-profile if available and so forth. 7. The Registrar’s staff will take photograph and finger-prints, and scan them in computer. For each citizen, the supervisor will select 3 clerks at random who will take finger prints, photographs and scan them in computer. The Registrar will appoint and officer to investigate the cases where in these 3 finger prints mismatch and clerks who make errors will be expelled 8. To obtain, blood profiles, the Registrar will have about 20-40 technicians in Tahsil office to find the blood details. For each citizen, the Registrar’s clerk will randomly select 3 technicians and the who will take the blood. The blood group details will be entered only if all 3 give same results. The Registrar will personally investigate the cases where there is mismatch and disqualify the technician whose over 1% results are inaccurate. 9. Later, Registrar will take DNA details of a all citizens with in decreasing order of age.

The above Person-ID system without blood group details and (without DNA-prints) will cost Rs 100 to Rs 200 per person and about Rs 20,000 crore for whole of India. This system will be sufficient to stop inflow of Bangladeshies. The cost of blood group details will be about Rs 500 per person and cost of DNA profile will be about Rs 2000 when done at mass scale. So the cost to build Person-ID system with DNA for whole India will be about Rs 300,000 cr or so. This cost is worth to save Asam from becoming part of Bangladesh. 31.7 Advantages of Person-ID system 1. Once person-ID system is enacted and every person has a person-ID, it will become possible for Govt to issue a GO that employers must report Employee’s Person-ID , and Jury may fine an employer who hires many ID-less persons. So illegal immigrants will have two options ---leave India or obtaining fake-ID or use someone else’s ID. Obtaining ID will not be possible for anyone except newborns after first year. And if he uses someone else’s ID, he will get tracked by the Govt authorities. Thus with Person-ID system, inflow of new Bangladeshies will decrease. 2. Once every person has ID and payer-receivers to report IDs of each other, the under-reporting of income and over-reporting of payments will reduce. This will reduce income tax evasion. 3. Once every person has ID and land records are tied with IDs, the under-reporting of wealth and will reduce. This will reduce wealth tax evasion. 4. With DNA database, the forensic will be improve and tracking suspects will become easier 5. With Person-ID system, tracking escapees and those who evade summons will become easier. And so law-order situation will improve. 31.8 Building relationship network using DNA data Lets say as on Jan-1 of year 2010 everyone’s DNA data of every person over 3 months old is in the system. Now each person can be asked to give names, IDs of his relatives. After inputting this in the system and using DNA data, the relations can be actually verified to a considerable extent. Parent-child has 50% DNA in common, siblings with same both parents have over 50% DNA in common, with one parent same have 25% DNA in common, grand child and grand parent have 25% in common, cousins have about 25% DNA in common and so forth. Using this data, a number of blood relations of a person can be verified. Higher the number of blood relatives he has, lesser are the chances the that he is immigrant. And thus using verified blood relative information, many illegal Bangladeshies who have just zero or few blood relatives can be easily identified out with a good accuracy. The system wont be able to track each of the 2cr illegal Bangladeshi, but will be able to track down sizeable number of them. 31.9 ID system in United States Intellectuals have mislead citizens by saying that “US has ID system, but US has not been able to stop illegal immigration, so India must not waste time and money into ID system”. Their claims are wrong. US does have ID system and records that make US Govt capable of proving and disproving that person is citizen, legal immigrant or illegal immigrants. So US Govt is capable of expelling all illegal immigrants if and when needed. The USG does not expel the Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 231 illegal immigrants as they provide cheap labor and are not threat to security and integrity of US. So while ID system has given capability to US to expel illegals, they dont use it for their interests. Where as in India, we have no record keeping system as of now to prove , disprove if a person is citizen or not. So we are not even in position of expelling illegals within months or even years. The records as of now are so incomplete that citizenship of mere 10% population can be fully established. Further, the Bangladeshi immigrants are threat to our security as well as integrity. So not only Indian intellectuals are lying, they are working against Indian interests in opposing ID system. We request all non-80G-activists of India to confront these intellectuals and prove to citizens that these intellectuals are anti-India. 31.10 Other party’s stand on National-ID system All parties, including BJP, is against National-ID system. Which is why BJP leaders such as LKA, Pramod, Shourie, ABV etc refused to implement Person-ID system in their 7 years of regime. The reason is trivial ---a person-ID system makes it difficult to hide black wealth and black money and since they are supporters of these elitemen, they are all opposing National-ID system. We request citizen not to vote for these leaders as they are opposing National-ID system. 31.11 More details The details of the system we are proposing are on http://www.rahulmehta.com/id_system.htm Review Questions 1. Which ID is universal and compulsory in India as of now? 2. True/False : US has no system in place to identify legality of illegal immigrants 3. Lets say the as on Jan-1-2009, everyone in India older than six months has Person-ID and employers are required to report Person-ID. Now explain how an adult illegal Bangladeshi can obtain employment in India 4. Say person-ID is tagged with DNA. Now consider a person who has no blood relative in DNA database. What are the chances he is immigrant?

The drafts of these Govt Orders are given at http://rahulmehta.com/hindus_in_bangladesh.htm . The drafts are logistically viable. And the drafts do not go against Secularism as I have shown later. In 1947, the Hindus of India, against their wish, accepted that Pakistan (with Bangladesh) will be a Muslim State. This clearly meant that Hindus in Pakistan will have no place. Hindus in Pakistan are people without land and State. And since Hindus in India accepted this proposal of Pakistan, Hindus in Pakistan get rights over Indian lands. Which is why Hindus of Pakistan were given rights to enter India. But the right was terminated in 1954 by Nehru without any notice and without informing Hindus in Pakistan. This was unfair. And so we must open that window for Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh , and close that window after 10 years after fully informing them. The secularism in Constitution restricts Govt of India inside India . So if GoI places a notice in Bangladesh or Pakistan that “Hindus will be given residency in India”, then it does not violate Constitution as no person in Bangladesh have no Constitutional rights over GoI. IOW, if GoI gives notice in Pakistan, Bangladesh that “Hindus may enter India without visa and shall be given residency”, and if any person in India were to challenge that in Supreme Court, the court has to dismiss the plea on the basis that action is taken inside Pakistan and not inside India, and does not effect rights of any Indian citizen. And if a person in Pakistan files a case in Supreme Court of India against the GoI notice , then also Supreme Court has dismiss the case on the basis that action is taken inside Pakistan, where SC has no jurisdiction. And GoI inside Pakistan is a foreign private party, and so it is bound only by International agreements. And secularism is not yet part of International agreements. So my MRCM Party’s demand and promise to let Hindus , and not Muslims, of Bangladesh and Pakistan enter into India does not violate Constitution of India. And it is technically sound as well. For that matter, Israel has law that it allows Jewish and only Jewish to claim citizenship of Israel. No legal international body has given any notice to Israel to change that law, and make citizenship claim open to all. Is the proposal that “Hindus in Pakistan should be allowed into India” ethically sound? Yes. Because Muslims in Pakistan have land and State, and so no special treatment is required for them. Whereas Hindus in Pakistan have no land and no State, as Pakistan (and Bangladesh) is officially an Islamic State. So the proposal is sound on humanitarian basis as well. The details of drafts proposed are on http://rahulmehta.com/hindus_in_bangladesh.htm Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 233 33 RRG proposals to reduce Bangladeshies’ inflow, expel them 33.1 The problem of Bangladeshi infiltration The whole North East may get seceded and lakhs of Indians may be killed (like 1947) if Bangladeshies keep coming. So stopping Bangladeshies is very important to save Assamese and keep Assam with India. 33.2 Stand of other Political Parties on Bangladeshi infiltration Most parties such as Congress, BJP and CPM have decided to do nothing to stop Bangladeshi illegal immigrants. The Congress in its 45+ years of rule and BJP in its 6 years of rule did not even enact ID system to reduce this problem. I request every supporter of Congress, BJP and CPM to realize that if when North East becomes part of Bangladesh and lakhs of Indians get massacred like 1947, their voting for these corrupt Congress, CPM, BJP neta was one factor. And their refusal to support RTI2 was an unpardonable error. Using RTI2, I at Right to Recall Group propose to enact Person-ID system coupled with “Employee and payment disclosure law” . In one year, these two laws will reduce the new infiltration to 1% of what it is now. And using RTI2, I propose to enact Jury based Tribunals to decide citizenship issue for existing infiltrators. Once illegal a few immigrants land in prison, more will stop coming. 33.3 The useless fence solution The BJP, Congress and CPM leaders are misguiding citizens by showing the fence they are creating. I support the fence as it may reduce terrorism. But we want citizens to note that fence cannot reduce infiltration even by 1%. Today, Bangladeshies are using land rather than sea coast to come into India as land option is cheaper. But coming from coast line is also easy and not all that expensive. So once the land is fenced, Bangladeshies will use coast line to enter into India !! Now are we going to build fence along whole coast line of India or even West Bengal? We cant. So even after fence is made, illegal immigration will not reduce even by 1% And consider the countries who have drastically reduced the problem of illegal immigration such as Canada, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Australia, New Zealand etc. The way these Western countries have solved this problem is via punishing the employers who give employment to illegals. US Govt wants illegal immigration to come to keep cost low and so US Govt has not made any law to punish employers who hire illegals. But US can afford illegal immigration as illegal immigrants do not pose any security or secessionist threats and provide economic benefits. But the countries that do not want illegal immigrants like Canada, Germany etc have made laws that require employers to disclose employee’s IDs and punish employers who hide this information. This disables organized employers from hiring illegal employees and reduces illegal immigration. 33.4 MRCM demands , promises to reduce Bangladeshies inflow , expel them 1. Enact National Person-ID , Citizen ID system 2. Draft a Govt Order that employers will be required to report Person-ID of all employees 3. Enact Jury System to imprison an employer if he hid the information about employees he had 4. Jury Trials will decide whether a person accused is citizen or illegal immigrant Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 234 I discussed first three proposals before. Next to next section has details of 4th proposal. 33.5 Building Family Trees using DNA data Lets say as on Jan-1 of year XXXX everyone’s DNA data of every person over 3 months old is in the system. Now each person can be asked to give IDs of his relatives, and using DNA data, the relations can be verified to a considerable extent as parent-child has 50% DNA in common, siblings with same both parents have over 50% DNA in common, with one parent same have 25% DNA in common, grand child and grand parent have 25% in common, cousins have about 25% DNA in common and so forth. Using this, number of blood relatives a person can be established. Higher the number of blood relatives he has, lesser are the chances the that he is immigrant. And thus using blood relative information validated or invalidated by DNA data, many illegal Bangladeshies who have just zero or few blood relatives can be easily identified out. 33.6 Jury System to decide citizenship 1. In first year, Govt will create Person-ID system 2. The Register shall make DVDs of Person-ID database of every males (and later females) with name, Person-ID, photo, address etc and sell it at cost equal to cost of DVD. 3. Any person can cite names of 10 persons whom he thinks are non-citizens for Rs 3 fee. 4. From the names received, the Registrar shall order the accused in the order of number of complaints received against him of being non-citizen. 5. The Registrar shall notify all the relatives of the person accused 6. For every complaint he receives, the Registrar shall form a National Jury consisting of 12 citizens chosen India and State Jury consisting of 12 citizens chosen from the State. 7. Any person who is blood relative of accused can cite that the person is wrongly accused after citing his relation. 8. The Jurors will listen to accused and witnesses using video phones. The accused and his relatives may be asked to appear in the trial. Each Juror can ask him questions for 30 minutes. 9. If over 9 out of 12 Jurors in either of the Juries dismiss the case as frivolous case, the Registrar shall not try the person again till at least 10 citizens file complaint against him once again. After two trials the number of persons required to complaint against him will be 100 and after 3 trials, no complaint will be filed against him for 5 years. 10. If the complain is dismissed as frivolous, the complainer’s right to file complain will go decrease by one. 11. If over 9 out 12 Jurors in both Juries declare the accused as non-citizen, the Registrar will call one more National and one more State Jury. If next Juries give same decision, the Registrar will mark him as non-citizen, imprison him and start process to expel him out of India. 12. If less than 10 out 12 Jurors in any Juries, but more 8 out of 12 in any one Jury declare the accused as non-citizen, the Registrar will let the accused stay in India, but not in North East or West Bengal. This clause is essential to reduce concentration of the Bangladeshies in North East The above system is sufficient to expel most of the Bangladeshies.

We request citizens not to vote for these parties. 33.8 More details More details are at http://rahulmehta.com/expelling_illegals.htm Exercises 1. What is the length of India-Bangladesh border?

The details will be put at http://rahulmehta.com/jk.htm . Given that JK is at heights, any Military which puts troops and airbases in that area will have strategic advantage over India, China and Pakistan. The JK problem is because USUK wants independent Kashmir so that the independent Kashmir will feel threatened by 3 hostile neighbors (China, India and Pakistan) and will have no option but to ask USUK to put troops inside JK to defend itself. USUK has managed to convince Sauds to put money in JK and USUK helps ISI with logistics to create insurgency in JK. To make matter worse, our PMs since 1991 have been American Viceroys in disguise of PM, and so cater American interests and not Indian Interests. So how do we citizens of India solve this mess? 1. Right to Recall PM : This will ensure that PM will not sell out to USUK or Saud, and will work for Indian Interests. Once PM acts as PM of India and not as Viceroy of USUK, some real pro-India action will happen on JK front. 2. Increase Military strength : Once strength of Indian Military increases, countries such as Pakistan, USUK etc will reduce support to secessionists in Pakistan. 3. Resolution in JK Assembly to cancel Art-370 : Recallable PM will enable JK MLAs to pass resolution in JK Assembly to abolish Article 370, remove all discrimination against JK and make JK at par with rest of the Indian states. If PM is recallable, he will ensure that over 90% MLAs support this resolution.. I request the reader to note that Chinese Military entered Tibet in 1950s after Tibet’s “assembly”, passed unanimous resolution to merge into China !! 4. Merge JK with HP, Uttaranchal : The JK MLAs can also pass resolution to merge JK with Himachal and Uttaranchal. Once they pass this resolution, citizens of India using RTI2 can merge JK with these two states. Once above steps happen, JK problem will get solved.

The heads of the trusts will be replaceable by the members, and the membership will be via birth or conversion. The heads will not be hereditary or appointed by any foreign power such as Vatican. Each religious group will have 3 organizations : District Level, National Level, Sect Level (Sect Level will be National only). Each citizen of India who follows that religion can become member of that group and the Head Priests will be elected by the citizens in those religious groups. The Head Priests will be replaceable. And the Head Priests will not be appointed by trustees or any govt agency or any foreign agency. The Community Trusts will own the Community temples, mosques, churches etc. The existing temples will remain with trusts as they are, and will become ownership of Community Trusts only after existing trustees willingly hand them over to the District, State or National Community Trust. And all temples which are currently under Govt will be handed over to State or National Hindu Community Trusts, and all mosques under Govt will be handed over National Muslim Community Trusts. And same for Churches. The Govt should be managing temples, mosques and churches. 35.2 RJB, KJB, KV issues Most Hindus all over India had demanded 3 temples : Ram Janam Bhoomi, Krishna Janam Bhoomi and Kashi Vishvanath. The archeological evidences have established beyond doubts that each of the three was a temple once. It has been proven again and again that Muslims had no objection against the 3 plots demanded by Hindus. The problem has worsened because Muslims were worried about BJP increasing the number from 3 to 3000 or 30,000. Essentially, it was Muslims’ lack in faith in BJP which has created the deadlock, not lack of Muslims’ faith in Hindus. The Muslims do not have faith in BJP MPs (neither do Hindus for that matter), but Muslims do have faith in Hindus as a whole. Hence if the law says that transfer of plot would need approval of 51% of citizens, it is ensured that Hindus will confine the demand to the three plots. I at RRG propose that. using RTI2 citizens should acquire Ram Janam Bhoomi, Kashi Vishwanath and Krishna Janam Bhoomi plots, and give them to the National Hindu Community Trusts. This will resolve the 20 year old problem for once and for all and restore communal peace in India. 35.3 More details The details of the drafts on Community Trusts and drafts dealing with RJB, KJB and KV temples will be put at http://rahulmehta.com/temple.htm Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 238 36 RRG proposals streamline and reduce Reservation 36.1 A step to reduce reservation : the system of “dole vs. reservation” What makes RRG different from all parties is that we support an administrative system, called as economic-choice to reduce demand for reservation in poor SC, ST and OBCs. Following is the summary of the system of second-choice for Dalits, OBCs 1. Any member of a sub-caste that belongs to ST, SC or OBC can walk to Tahsildar’s office, undergo verification and apply for economic-choice , where in o he shall still retain his SC, ST, OBC status o he shall receive inflation adjusted Rs 600 per year, till he cancels economic-choice o he will be eligible for reservation moment he cancels his economic-choice o the number of reserved seats will decrease by those who opt for economic-choice o the money shall come from tax on land and nowhere else 2. Example : India has 100 cr of population of which 14 cr are SC. So if a college has 1000 seats of then 140 are reserved . Now suppose out of these 14 cr SCs, say 6 cr insist on economicchooic then each shall get payment of Rs 100 a month and reservation for SC will go down by 6% i.e. will become about 8%. Most poor Dalits did not get much benefit from Reservation, and as elite in Dalits increases in size, the opportunities for poor dalits further reduces. The economic-choice creates a system by which the poor left out dalits can also get benefit of the reservation as well. Many of them would opt for economic-choice as (opposed to social-choice that reservation offers). This will reduce reservation To what extent will economic choice reduce reservation? Population of India is 100 cr and that of SC, ST and OBC is 60 cr. Hypothetically, if entire 60cr of SC, ST and OBC population were to go on economic choice, then the quota would reduce from 50% to 0% and cost will be Rs 1200 * 60 = Rs 72,000cr a year. But that is an extreme scenario. Say out of 60 cr SC/ST/OBC say 450 cr prefer economic choice, then reservation will reduce from 50% to 15/60*50 = 12.5% . Now if say 5% of merit list consists of ST, SC and OBCs, then effective reservation becomes 7.5% only. 36.2 Second modification : giving higher preference to more backward The communities which have lesser representation in administration will get more seats till their representation is at the same level. For this we need a complete caste census and details are given later. 36.3 Stand on issued linked with reservation MRCM law will reduce poverty. And the changes I have proposed in education will further reduce gap between dalits and upper castes. And the I have proposed in religious charities will reduce the discrimination Dalits face in temples. I have proposed to end all interviews at the level of initial recruitment in Police, Govt, banks, RBI, SBI, judiciary, Govt lawyer and so forth, and this will also reduce the discrimination Dalits face in recruitment. So the % score gap between closing rank general and reserved categories would reduce day by day. In addition, we propose following modification in reservation Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 239 1. Create a system of economic-choice to reduce demand for reservation (explained above) 2. Reservation only for Dalits, Tribals and OBCs who are Hindu, Buddhists or Sikh. To be specific, no reservation for Dalits, Tribals, OBCs in Muslims, Christians etc. 3. The Dalit, Tribal or OBC if applicable for reservation, will have to first apply in their respective quota and only after their quota is filled, can they apply in general quota 4. No reservation on any other basis, including religion, economic or social 5. The person in reservation caste will get seat in reservation quota first, and will be considered in general list only after his reservation quota is full. 6. Ensure that backward amongst backward get benefits using sub-quota or other means These are our broad proposals. Devil lies in details. The next section gives details. 36.4 Details of administrative changes we promise on reservation issue Economic-Choice System 1. Any member of a sub-caste that belongs to ST, SC or OBC can walk to Tahsildar’s office, undergo verification and apply for economic-choice , where in ° he shall still retain his SC, ST, OBC status ° he shall receive inflation adjusted Rs 600 per year, till he cancels economic-choice ° till he gets this payment, he cannot apply in reserved quota. ° he will be eligible for reservation the day he cancels his second-choice ° number of reserved seats will decrease depending on number of those who have opted-out ° dole money shall come from tax on land and nowhere else. 2. Example : Say India has 100 cr of population of which 14% i.e. 14 cr are SC. So if a college has 1000 seats of then 140 are reserved . Now suppose out of these 14 cr SCs, say 6 cr insist on economic-choice then each shall get payment of Rs 100 a month and reservation for SC will go down by 14*0.66*6/14 = 5.94% i.e. will become 8.06% IOW, if every SC were to take economic choice, the reservation would become 1/3 of what it is now. The reservation will be across ran and file of administration, from Supreme Court to peons 3. If a person has opted for economic-choice and then changes to social-choice, he will be entitled for CBR benefits on that day. But if he reverts back to economic choice, he shall get Rs 600 payment after 1 year 4. If a person is Dalit, OBC has opted for economic-choice, he can still obtain seat on quota, but shall become eligible after he cancels economic-choice 5. If a person has taken any seat on SC\ST\OBC quota, he wont be eligible for economic-choice 6. Child will get Rs 600 year payment only if both parents opt for economic-choice 7. If both parents have opted for economic-choice, their children shall get Rs 600/year for at most (2 sons) or (2 sons, 1 daughter). Caste census 8. Conduct a full wealth and sub-caste census : Caste strife is a reality. It cannot vanish by hiding it and it cant be dealt administratively if it is hidden. To properly deal with any issue, administration needs crystal clear information. So we propose to take sub-caste census where in sub-caste of each person along with position he holds in Govt, PSU and market value of land/assets he owns will be noted. The census will improve with National-ID system and an accurate system with less than 1% inaccuracy can be built in 2-4 years. But an approximate Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 240 system can be built in 6 months. We shall start with the inaccurate system and increase the accuracy every day. 9. There are about 200 sub-castes in India, but since social situation between a caste in one state and analogous caste in another state may be different, they become different caste in the National list. So the National List has about 5000 castes, while most States’ Lists have about 200-400 sub-castes. So the census will note which of the 5000 state-wise sub-caste the person belongs to. Please note – sub-castes will be state-wise only. 10. If a person claims to general, then he need not specify caste or sub-caste and shall not get any benefit of reservation. But if a person or his father has taken benefit of reservation, then he must specify the caste, state and sub-caste he belongs to. 11. Using person-caste-wealth data, PM can obtain per capita wealth of sub-caste. 12. Political Wellness Index : The Political Index of a caste will be calculated as follows Position Points PM, Supreme Court judge, HC-Cj, Regulators in Central Govt, RBI Gov, RBI Deputy Gov, Bank Chairman 50,00,000 points High Court judges, Principal Session judges, Dept Secretaries in Central Govt, regulators in State Govt, CM 40,00,000 points Sessions judges, Ministers in Center 10,00,000 points Other lower court judges, Ministers in State 5,00,000 points MP, officers above Under Secretaries 1,00,000 points MLA , District Panchayat Sarpanch 15,000 points All class-I officers in Central, State Govt, Police etc (not PSUs) 20,000 points All class-II officers in Central, State Govt, Police , etc 10,000 points All class-III officers in Central, State Govt, Police etc 5,000 points All employees in PSUs, Central Govt, State Govt etc (including above) Annual salary divided by 100 Person with 10,00,000 times the per capita wealth 100,00,000 points Person with 1,00,000 times the per capita wealth 10,00,000 points Person with 10,000 times the per capita wealth 1,00,000 points Person with 1000 times the per capita wealth 10,000 points Person with 100 times the per capita wealth 1,000 points Policies to assist backward amongst backward 13. The castes with lower points would get more seats within their quota. 14. Example : Say one caste has 10 times more points than other caste. Then the caste with lower points will have 10 times more seats in reservation than the caste with higher points. 36.5 More details I will later post details at http://rahulmehta.com/reservation.htm Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 241 37 RRG proposals for some Civil, Criminal cases 37.1 List of changes in civil laws we demand , promise Using RTI2, I propose to enact following changes in civil laws. Some of them are 1. Enacting Land Record System (Torrance Title) 2. Enacting system to record all loans and restrict usury 3. Enacting changes to settle loan default cases 4. Speedy divorce, alimony and child custody to abused women 5. Repealing 498A, DVA 6. Enacting administrative changes settle inheritance related disputes fairly 7. Public vote on legalization of opium 8. Public vote to legalize commercial sex And many more changes 37.2 Enacting land/flat ownership record system I request the reader read about Torrens Title at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrens_title and also google for Torrens Title and read more article. 1. seller must register map, location of his plot, flat (and get serial number) 2. if the flat or plot has split or merged, then the seller must register map, location of changes in his plot, flat (and get new serial numbers) 3. buyer and seller must sign agreement of sale inside Govt office before the Govt officer 4. the sale is immediately recorded on the Govt record. 5. in case some fraudulent seller is able to sell his plot, flat twice to different persons, then Govt will compensate at least one of the duped buyer. 6. in case some fraudulent seller is able to sell plot, flat of someone else by impostering, then Govt will compensate the actual owner 7. so buyer does not need to verify the chain of previous owners – he only needs to deal with the owner listed on the Land Registry. The Torrens Title makes it impossible for seller to sell the land or flat twice. And the frauds are so low, less than 1 in 10000, that with a fee as low as 1% of the sale amount, Govt is able to act as insurer. The Torrens Title first came in Australia in 1860s and since then, Australia hasn’t faced the problem of one person selling away plot to two persons. I propose to enact Torrens Title in all States of India using State level RTI2. The details of Torrens Title I have proposed is at http://rahulmehta.com/id04.htm . 37.3 Laws to stop usury Usury exists only because loan-sharks have protection of Ministers, judges and Police Chiefs. I have proposed procedures to enact system by which citizens can replace police chiefs, judges, Ministers etc and I have proposed Jury System over junior policemen. These procedures will create a threat in the minds of policemen, Ministers, judges etc and they will reduce nexuses with loan-sharks. Further, I have proposed Jury Trial over all criminal trials. This will reduce ability of loan-sharks to use violence against the borrowers. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 242 To administer the loans, I propose to enact a law where in every lender will have to disclose the loans he has given to every borrower, and disclose the interest he is charging he is charging. The ceiling on interest rates will be 1.5 times the prime lending rate. (e.g. as of Jun-2008, PLR is 1.25% a month, and so limit on private lending will be 2.5% a month). And I propose to enact Jury Trials using which Jurors can imprison the loan-sharks. 37.4 Speedy divorce and child custody for battered women I will propose drafts of the laws using which battered women can ask for a speedy Jury Trials, and Jury can grant divorce, alimony and child custody. The child custody should be married woman’s right upon separation or divorce. 37.5 Abolish 498A and DVA Using RTI2, we citizens can\should repeal 498A and DVA. 37.6 Proposals on legalizing or criminalizing opium and/or hashish I request the reader to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium . Soft drugs such as hashish, opium etc were in almost all countries of world before 1800 AD. In US, they were legal till 1900 and in India, they were legal till 1950. The harmful effects of hashish, opium and such soft drugs are less than any pain killer or psychiatrist medicine. The opium is less harmful than tobacco. Eg Opium, hashish etc does not cause cancer, TB etc. And opium, hashish are less harmful than liquor. Eg Hashish, opium does not cause lever sclerosis. Opium and hashish are also less socially damaging. Opium, hashish does not make a person violent or prone to committing rapes, where as liquor makes a person violent and prone to committing rape. In fact, opium makes a person less aggressive and opium reduces possibility that he would commit rape. The production cost of opium, hashish is less than tobacco or liquor. Then why did Govts banned opium, hashish? In beginning of 1900, medicine made progress in the field of psychiatry. Many psychiatrist medicines were invented and many did wonders in curing patients. But even today, these medicines don’t work in a large fraction of cases – as high as 50%. In such cases, often, opium, hashish are the best known remedies. They pacify the patient, and sometimes, patients own their own fix their thoughts and recover. So opium, hashish and other soft drugs reduce the demand for psychiatric drugs. And so pharmaceutical companies bribed intellectuals to create a campaign against opium, hashish and then they bribed MPs etc to enact laws to ban opium, hashish. The ban on opium, hashish also increased the bribe money policemen, Ministers and judges etc were getting. The ill effect of ban is that prices of opium, hashish went up by 100 times, and so the opium addict had to resort to crimes like theft and resulting violence to buy opium. But if opium if legalized, then opium will be cheaper than coffee or tea, and no one will need to resort to violence to pay for opium. Banning opium resulted into higher use of more harmful drugs such as smack etc a they give more “kick” per cubic centimeter of volume. And why should volume in cubic-cm become a factor? Because when something is banned, peddlers’ overheads depends more on volume in cubic-cm and not on transport costs. The drugs like smack etc tale less volume in cubic-centimeters and so are cheaper than opium for peddles. This further worsened the health of addicts, and increased the sale of pharmaceutical companies. Furthermore, ban on opium has increased sale of tobacco and cancers. This further increased the Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 243 sale of pharmaceutical companies. So all in all, opium benefits only pharmaceutical companies and corrupt policemen, judges, Ministers, and ruins the addicts and also increases crime rate in the society. Will legalizing hashish reduce crimes or increases crimes? As a real example, Netherlands legalized opium and number of serious convicts reduced from over 14000 to 12000 !! Netherlands is one of the few countries in world where high security prisons are being shut down !! So shall we legalize opium? My vote is YES, but I don’t want to take this decision my myself even if I were the PM. Because if those who will benefit will not support a PM who takes such decision and enemies (pharmaceutical companies, corrupt policemen/judges/Ministers) etc will run a high profile smear campaign against him. Such decisions are best taken by public vote. When opium legalization is put for public vote, majority of citizens will realize that banning opium worsens the health of addict and increases the risk on life and property of non-addicts. So most addicts will vote YES, so will their family members and so will most non-addicts. And thus without any smear campaign, opium will get legalized. So my proposal is to legalize opium, hashish using RTI2. How? I propose and plan to enact a law using RTI2 that Jury and only Jury can punish a drug addict or a peddler or acquit him. So will a Jury ever punish an addict or a peddler? Unlikely. AFAIT, a Jury will never punish an addict who hasn’t done any violent crime otherwise. Thus by enacting a law that only Jury can punish drug dealer or addict, I propose to “legalize” soft drugs. And whatever is the verdict of public vote or Juries, I shall accept it. Later, I will put details of this law at http://rahulmehta.com/opium.htm 37.7 Proposals on legalizing or criminalizing commercial sex The curse of being a good politician is that I have to give views on ALL important issues that effect our society and look bad if that issue happens to be ugly. And a benefit of bad politician and a dishonest intellectual is that he can always ignore real issues and talk on goody goody things only. As if problems will disappear by goody goody talks. I prefer to confront all real issues, because real issues don’t go away by submerging in goody goody talks. The sex ratio in India is 930 females to 1000 males. MRCM law and other laws which poverty, social security system and other laws which provide old age cares will reduce improve the sex ratio. But it will take at least 20 years before sex ratio improves. Hence for next 10-20 years, sex ratio will be close to 930 females to 1000 males. And so IMO, if commercial sex is not legalized, violent crimes, theft and even sex crimes will only increase. Further, criminalizing commercial sex only benefits violent pimps, corrupt policemen, corrupt judges and corrupt Ministers and benefits no one else. It increases the costs on clients and so many clients might resort to committing violent/financial crimes. Plus, when commercial sex is banned, honest and non-violent will deter from becoming pimps and so only violent criminals will become pimps. And so sex-workers will face more physical abuses. Banning commercial sex does not benefit average citizen in any way. Does commercial sex increase spread of venereal diseases? If so, then how come countries like Singapore and many countries which have legalized commercial sex have lesser incidence of venereal diseases? That’s because the disease spread is because of lack of information only. It has nothing to do with commercialization of sex. So what laws do I propose for or against legalizing commercial sex? Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 244 Using RTI2, I propose to enact a law where in punishment on anyone accused of being a sex-worker or visiting sex-worker or acting as broker will be decided by Juries only. India will never find 12 randomly chosen citizens who will punish non-violent individuals. And this “only Jury against commercial sex related crimes” will result into de-facto legalization of commercial sex. Furthermore, when citizens have procedures to expel District Police Chief, the District Police Chief will get the hint that citizens do or do not want him to chase sex workers. If citizens want him to chase the sex-workers then he will, otherwise he wont. This will settle the issue of legalization of commercial sex. Later, I will put details of this law at http://rahulmehta.com/commercial_sex.htm 37.8 Laws to reduce adulteration Right to Recall District Health Officer is necessary and sufficient to reduce adulteration. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 245 38 RRG proposed changes in laws to reduce rapes 38.1 Technical means 1. National DNA database : Building database of DNA of all males will be useful in tracking down rape suspects with lower costs and speedily. The fear that you will get tracked down speedily will deter criminals from committing rapes 2. Putting cameras at as many public places as possible : By putting as many cameras as possible, we can reduce rapes as well as molestations such as at bus stands, inside buses and other crowded public places. 3. Providing voice linked equipment with panic button to every women : Every women can be given an equipment which cannot be turned off (unless broken), and the equipment will send the voice around her continuously to some control station. Further, the equipment can have panic button which when pressed will send panic signal to near by cell phone towers as well as police stations. The location can be obtained using known technical methods. 4. Providing guns to women : Women should be allowed to keep guns and other weapons with them. And they should be trained to use these weapons etc. 38.2 Proposed changes in rape related laws We propose following changes in prosecuting rape cases : 1. All rape cases will be tried by Jury and Jury only. The Jury will consists of 25 citizens above 25 years and 60 years of age chosen at random from the district. Of these 25 citizens, 13 will be women and 12 will be men. 2. If the accused wants or 13 out of 25 Jurors deem it necessary to have truth serum test on the accused, then the investigating officer will conduct truth serum test on the accused. 3. If complainer wants OR over 18 out of 25 Jurors demand truth serum test then on the complainer, then the investigating officers will conduct truth serum test on the complainer. 4. If over 18 out of 25 Jurors permit live telecast of the truth serum test, and test will be open to media and live telecast will be allowed. The truth serum test is must is case of rape trials as either party may be a liar, and evidences are mostly inclusive. They at most establish a relation, but dont establish use of force or threat. The existing laws require permission of judge for truth serum test and since judges may not give permission, the aggressors often walk away. So decision of truth serum test should be left to Jurors. The existing law that female’s testimony be taken as final word is flawed and should be replaced with compulsory truth serum test. The technical means and use of truth serum tests will create a powerful deterrent in reducing rapes in India.

First problem : MPs, MLAs etc do not make laws we citizens want. E.g. MPs refused to enact MRCM law that we commons should get land rent from GoI plots like IIMA plot, airport etc. Likewise, MPs have refused to enact Right to Recall SCjs, HCjs, PM, CM etc laws. 2. MPs make laws that citizens dont want. E.g. when MNCs bribed MPs, MPs enacted patent laws which increased the prices of medicine by several times. Why do MPs, MLAs behave like this? Because of corruption and no other reason. The MPs and MLAs get bribes for not passing some laws and they get bribes to pass some laws. The citizens have no option but to tolerate them as citizens can expel them, cant change the laws etc. 39.2 The solution to first problem RTI2, Right to Recall PM and Right to Recall MPs solve the first problem. If MPs are hell bent on not enacting a law, then using RTI2, citizens can force PM\MPs to enact that law. And using Right to recall PM, MPs the citizens can expel PM, MPs who are not co-operating. So the problem that MPs are not enacting laws like MRCM, RTR etc is solved by RTI2. 39.3 The solution to second problem Very often, we see that MNCs etc will bribe MPs and get laws passed. What do I propose to reduce this problem? In law-making, a law seldom passes without approval of PM. Most corrupt laws passed with co-operation of PM. As of now, PM doesn’t care as citizens don’t have procedures to expel/replace PM. So Right to Recall PM will deter PM from passing corrupt laws. And Right to Recall MP will also deter MP from passing a corrupt law. Further, one of the law I have proposed enables citizens to conduct Truth Serum Tests on MPs\PM and even fine, imprison and execute MPs\PM. This will create a spine chilling deterrence in MPs\PM from passing laws for bribes.Further, lets us that MPs and PM still dare to pass a corrupt law because of MNCs’ bribes or other reasons. Then Right to Recall Supreme Court judges and Right to Recall High Court judges will increase the chances that SCjs and HCjs will strike it down such a law immediately, because they may worry that citizens would expel them otherwise. RTI2 itself reduces the possibility that MPs and MLAs will ever enact a law for bribes. How? Because lets say a company gives bribes of Rs 1 crore to each MPs totaling expenses of Rs 800 crores to enact a law. Then next day, citizens can repeal that law using RTI2 and the company lost all its Rs 800 crore for practically nothing in return. Given all these safeguards, chances that Mps will enact laws for bribes are now near zero. Nevertheless, following procedure further reduces the chances: 1. Using RTI2, I propose to enact a procedure by which citizen can register effective YES/NO in the Parliament by paying Rs 3 fee at Talati’s office. 2. Using RTI2, I propose to enact Jury System over Law Making. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 247 39.4 RRG proposal to enable citizens to register citizens’ YES/NO in Parliament Following is the Govt Notification I propose : 1. A citizen can inward text of a Bill in Loksabha Speaker’s office and obtain inward number. 2. Any citizen can go to the Talati (Patwari), show his ID, pay Rs. 3 fee and register his YES/NO on any of the suggested bills. The clerk will give receipt for his YES/NO. The citizen can change his YES/NO any day. The YES/NO will be published on the Speaker’s website. (Please note that there is no confidentiality). 3. An MP can register his YES/NO before the Speaker. If the MP does not register YES/NO, it would be counted as NO. 4. The MP's vote will count for those, all those, but ONLY those who have NOT registered their YES/NO on that bill. Example: Suppose an area 50000 voters where say 15000 (30%) voted YES, 5000 (10%) votes NO and 30000 (60%) did not cast their vote on the proposal. In that case, the Speaker will consider MP’s weight as (100% -30% -10%) = 60%. Now say that the MP votes YES. Then that area’s YES-fraction will be 30% + 60% = 90% and NO-fraction will be 10%. If the MP votes NO, then that area’s YES fraction be 30% and NO-fraction will be 60% + 10% = 70%. 5. The Loksabha Speaker will add the YES and NO fractions of each Constituency 6. If the sum of all YES-fractions is over 50% within 60 days, then the Loksabha Speaker will send the bill to the Rajyasabha Speaker. If the proposal does not gather 50% support within 60 days after issue of inward number, the Loksabha Speaker will declare the proposal as failed. 7. The Rajyasabha Speaker will let Rajyasabha MPs register their YES/NO starting the day bill gets inward number. If an MP does not register his vote, it will be taken as a NO. 8. The Speaker of Rajyasabha will calculate the YES-fraction and NO-fraction of the bill as follow : a. say a state has K MPs b. say that state has T voters of which Y voted YES and N voted no, and (T – Y – N) did not register their YES or NO c. then each MPs’ of that state’s vote will be (T – Y – N)/K. 9. If passed, it shall have the same weight as Bill passed by the Parliament The above mentioned procedure will enable citizens to enact the law they want.

The clerk will take following things from the citizen : a)Rs 3/-fee b)citizen's ID c)Bill’s serial number d)his YES or NO preference. The clerk will then make the entries in the computer and will give a computer generated receipt to the citizen. 4 Talati, Patwari The Talati, for a fee of Rs 3, will allow the citizen to change his YES/NO. 5 Talati, Patwari The Talati will post the names, serial numbers etc of the citizens who have registered their YES/NO on the internet. 6 Loksabha Speaker The Cabinet Secretary will publish Constituency wise YES/NO counts of each Constituency for each of proposals every Monday and on the 90th day after proposal was submitted. 7 Speakers of Loksabha, Rajyasabha) The Speakers will allow MPs to register total or partial YES/NO. If an MP does NOT register YES/NO, the Speakers will count his vote as total NO.

Y = No. of voters who voted YES N = Number of voters who voted NO M = No. of voters who did not vote on the Bill = T -Y -N Citizens' YES-fraction = Y/T Citizens' NO-fraction = N/T Now as per the Constitution, it is necessary that MP’s vote represents citizens' YES/NO. In other words, if Y/T citizens have registered YES and N/T citizens have registered NO, then as per the Constitution, it is necessary, that MP’s vote's YES-fraction is above Y/T as well as NOfracctio is above N/T. Then for THAT constituency, if MP votes YES, then YES-fraction will be (Y+M)/T and NO-fraction will be N/T if MP votes NO, then YES-fraction will be Y/T and NO-fraction will be (N+M)/T. if MP abstains, then YES-fraction will be Y/T and NO-fraction will be N/T. 9 Loksabha Speaker The Speaker will add YES-fractions and NO-fractions of all the Loksabha constituency to obtain the total YES fraction of the State. 10 Loksabha Speaker 1. The Speaker will declare bill as "failed if NO-fraction exceeds YES-fraction. 2. if YES-fraction is larger than NO-fraction then the Speaker will send the bill to the Rajyasabha Speaker 11 Rajyasabha Speaker Within 30 days after a bill has been presented, a member of Rajyasabha can register his YES/NO on the bill before the Speaker. If a member does NOT register his YES/NO, the Speaker will take it as a NO. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 250 12 Rajyasabha Speaker Speaker will use following formula to calculate the YES fraction and NO fraction Y = Number of voters in India who voted YES N = Number of voters in India who voted NO T = Total number of citizen-voters in India U = Number of citizens who didn’t vote = T -Y -N MY = Number of Rajyasabha members who voted YES MN = Number of Rajyasabha members who voted NO (or did not register their vote) MT = Total number of Members In that case, YES fraction = Y/T + MY/MT*U/T NO fraction = N/T + MN/MT*U/T 13 Rajyasabha Speaker If the YES fraction exceeds NO fraction, Speaker will declare the bill as passed, else he will declare the bill as failed. 39.6 MRCM Party’s demand , promise to enact Jury System over Laws made by MPs Due to bribery, and no other reasons, the MPs have been enacting laws like SEZ act, 498A, DVA etc. How do I propose to stop this mess? The second proposal enables citizens to cancel any unconstitutional law that MPs have made. But that will be after they have passed this law. How can citizens stop wrong laws to begin with? Well, the following law will reduce this possibility : 1. After the law is passed by Parliament, the PM shall send the copy of law in English and State’s official languages to each Tahsildar of India 2. Each Tahsildar will summon 30 citizen voters each from the voter list as Jurors. 3. Each of the 30 citizens can suggest one speaker. Ten of these 30 suggested speakers will be chosen at random. The 10 suggested speakers or their representative will give 1 hr speech on the law passed. 4. The MP who drafted and proposed the law can send one or more representatives who shall have the total speech time of 3 hours. 5. Each Juror can ask speak for 30 minutes in which he may make a speech or ask questions to any of the persons who has given the speeches on the law passed. 6. Each day, the proceedings will start at 10.30 AM and will go on till 6.30 PM with 2.00 PM to 2.30 PM as lunch break. So proceedings will last for no more than 6 days. 7. At the end of 3rd day, the Jurors will specify their YES/NO on the laws passed. 8. If over 16 out of 30 Jurors say NO or “no option”, the Tahsildar will mark the law as rejected. 9. If majority of the Tahsil Juries in India reject the law, the PM will declare the law as rejected. There are 6000 wards and Tahsils in India. So some 6000 * 30 = 180,000 citizens YES/NO will taken on the law passed. Given that time is just 3 days, this is a fairly large sample which is difficult to bribe out. Hence, this sample will be an effective check on the Parliament. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 251 Each Juror will get say Rs 100 and so cost is Rs 1.8 crore plus other costs (such as salary of Tahsildar who will conduct the hearings etc). The total cost will be about Rs 5 crore per law Parliament passes. The Parliament passes some 100 laws a year. So total cost will be Rs 500 cr per year of so. This is tiny compared to damage one wrong law can cause. Using such mechanism, it becomes easier for citizens to ensure that SEZ, 498A, DVA etc like laws do not come up. 39.7 Draft of the above change The text of the draft of the above proposed law is on my website http://www.rahulmehta.com/improve_law_making.htm . Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 252 40 RRG proposed Electoral Reforms 40.1 Electoral reforms I propose 1. Right to recall 2. Direct elections of CM, PM, Sarpanch, Mayor 3. Banning EVMs, back to paper ballots 4. Conducting polls on one day 5. Simplifying election form filling 6. Raising election deposits 7. Increasing number of citizen-voters who second a candidate 8. Restricting number of candidates 9. Install Recall Voting (IRV) aka Preferential Voting 10. Election and Proportionate Representation in Rajyasabha 11. Inner Party Democracy And many others. Details are at http://rahulmehta.com/electoralreforms.htm . 40.2 Right to Recall We talk about electoral reforms, so that “chances” of getting bad person elected reduce and chances of getting good person getting elected increases. But unless we have Right to Recall, the chances that elected candidate will become corrupt will remain extremely high. So most urgent and important task is RTR. But then question is : existing MPs will never enact RTR law as it goes against their financial interests. Then shall we replace MPs? Well, that will hurt us for next five years and will only benefit MPs – they can take bribes without worry for next five years. And the possibility of next batch selling out remains high. So solution is to raise a mass movement asking citizens to force PM, CMs to sign RTI2. Once PM and CMs have been forced to sign RTI2, citizens can enact RTR over PM, CMs, Supreme Court judges etc within a few months. These points have been outlined in previous chapters. 40.3 Direct elections of CM, PM, Mayor, Sarpanch One common problem you will see in India is that a voter will say “Independent candidate Mr. X is good, but I want Mr. A to be CM and so I will vote for Party of Mr. A”. E.g. in Gujarat, many hated local BJP MLA candidate but they voted for BJP as they wanted Modi to be CM. And in Madhya Pradesh, many voters did not like the local BJP MLA candidate yet voted for BJP as they wanted Shivraj Chauhan to become CM. This becomes a hurdle in the way of citizens to promote better candidates in MLA election, because they are tied with “who should become CM”. So if election of CM and MLA is separated i.e. separate elections decide CM and separate election decide MLA, then voters will have more choice and will be able vote for a candidate they like for MLA election, without fearing that it can worsen the choice of MLA. So citizens should directly elect CM and directly elect PM. Will this make PM, CM absolute? No. Using Right to Recall PM and Right to Recall CM, we citizens can ensure that he will behave properly. And as of now, only MLA and MP can expel CM, PM and all they do is threaten CM, PM and collect bribes. So procedure that MLA< MP can expel CM, PM does not help citizens at all – it only enriches MLAs, MPs. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 253 My proposal is – using RTI2, we citizens should enact an Govt Notification by which we citizens can directly elect PM, CM. And for that matter, the proposed procedures Right to Recall PM, CM have means by which citizens can put CM, PM of their choice. 40.4 Banning EVMs and using paper ballots with some changes Please see a video demonstration that shows that rigging EVMs in untraceable way is easier that paper ballots at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlCOj1dElDY . In addition, I have written a way on how lakhs of EVMs can be rigged inside factory at http://rahulmehta.com/evm1.pdf Can EVMs be rigged? Yes, and worse – unlike paper ballots, 10000s of EVMs can be rigged with just few people inside the factory. And some ways of rigging ensure that rigging will never become visible to citizens at large. In case of paper ballots, one can rig hardly 0.1% of total votes and that too would need 1000s of criminals. With EVMs, one with 10-15 people at top and by playing a small trick in the Collectors’ offices, one can steal as many as 10% to 20% of the total polled votes. There is another method, which needs about 100 persons in the factory and using them one can steal about 10% of all polled votes across Constituencies. This is the main reason why Germany banned EVMs and Japan, Ireland scrapped EVM projects. And many states in US also banned EVMs. In case of paper ballots, people complain of so called booth capture. Well, EVM doesn’t stop booth capture either. That is strictly a police problems. EVM only creates 20 second delay between two successive votes and nothing else. This 20 second delay can be achieved with paper ballot as well by having a device that puts a stamp with a 15 digit serial number on the backside of the ballot paper, and device will put only one stamp every 20 seconds. This will ensure a delay of 20 seconds between two votes. Now ballot paper is as safe as EVM and the problem of industrial scale rigging doesn’t come at all. In addition, at all sensitive booth, EC can put a Rs 1000 to Rs 2000 camera which can take pictures every 30 seconds and send the pictures to control station via mobile phone link. All in all, booth capturing happens because judges/policemen have been encouraging criminals, who become so strong and bold that they hack booths. Solution is to enact procedures by which citizens can expel/replace District Police Chiefs and judges so that criminals don’t go so strong. Once criminals weaken the problem of booth capturing reduce. Also, if election is deposit is raised (see one of the next topics), then number of spurious candidates will reduce. So number of candidates will become 5-10, and the will become of the size of no bigger than two post cards. In such cases, counting will be over in one day. Once we have recallable District Police Chiefs and recallable judges, the crime problem will reduce and it would become possible to conduct elections with just 1 policemen equipped with camera per booth, and a mobile petrol of 10 policemen in an area covering 10 booths. So to conduct polls in 800,000 booths, about 16,00,000 policemen will be enough. We have 25,00,000 policemen in India (CRPF and all police forces included, Army soldiers and BSF excluded). And election or no election, we need to recruit 50,00,000 more policemen in India. So it is possible to conduct polling in entire country in just one day, and have counting 3 days after polling day. So all in all, my proposals at RRG on EVM and poll conducting issues are 1. Ban EVMs using RTI2. Legalize the use paper ballots only. Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 254 2. Enact Right to Recall over Police Chief, judges using RTI2 3. Recruit 30,00,000 policemen all over India 4. Equip all policemen with camera 5. Provide camera in all sensitive booths 6. Using RTI2, raise the election deposits 7. Using RTI2, raise number of citizens who need to second the candidate/40.5 Conducting polling on one day In 1951, the entire election was conducted on one day. IIRC, elections were held on one day only till around 1984. It was only after 1984, then ECI had to move the polls across days. The polling can be done on one day with following reforms 1. Make election deposit equal to two per capita annual GDPs : This will ensure that number of candidates are below 10-12 and elections become manageable. 2. Improve law-order : lesser the criminals, less the police staff needed 3. Give camera to policemen in the booth. 4. Using stamping device that puts stamp once every 20 seconds only, so that booth capturers cannot cast 100s of votes within minutes Once the problem of booth capturing reduces, it would become possible to conduct polling on one day only.. 40.6 Simplifying form filling and contesting election Lesser the time and headache form filling takes, more the honest people will join politics. If form filling etc takes hours and hours, then chances that honest person will quit because of income he is losing will only increase. As of now, form filling has become a mess. Every election, we see good candidates getting rejected because of petty mistakes. Following are my proposals to reduce technical headaches in filling forms 1. A citizen can declare himself as candidate for a seat any day, not necessarily when election is announced. He can announce himself as candidate of at most 2 Loksabha Constituencies. 2. He shall pay the deposit on the day he announces himself as candidate. 3. He need to be citizen of India and show any proof of being citizen of India to the Collector. His name may or may not be in the voter list. 4. No one will need to second his name at the time of form filling 5. Any citizen can walk to Patwari’s (Talati’s) office and second a candidate for his Constituency for a fee of Rs 3/-fee. A citizen can cancel his seconding any day without fee. A citizen can second at most 3 candidates. He can second any candidate again for Rs 3/-fee. 6. The Collector will accept/reject his application in 7 days 7. The Collector will examine the application after 1000 citizen-voters have seconded his name and the count remains above 1000 for 14 days in a row. 8. If application is rejected, he can file his application again. The list of citizens who have seconded him will remain intact. 9. The last date of filling form will be 30 days before election starts. 10. He will need to disclose his income/wealth statements (as today) Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 255 11. Political parties will not get tax benefits. Donors to political parties will not get tax benefits 12. Individuals may donate to political parties, but companies will not be allowed to donate to political parties 13. The campaign expenses cannot be deducted as business expense 14. The candidates will need to give list of expenses they made only after the poll ends and before 30 days after the poll ends. They will not need to file the expenses during the polls. The raising number of citizens who need to second a candidate to 1000 will reduce the number of spurious candidates. So my proposal wrt election form filling is to get a law containing above 10-12 points enacted using RTI2. 40.7 Raising election deposits Say per capita GDP of India is Rs X. Then Loksabha election deposits I propose is : 1. Minimum deposit will be will be equal to Rs. X 2. if annual income of candidate is above Rs X or his wealth is above (10 * Rs X), then the deposit will be equal to Rs X plus [higher of income/5 and wealth/50] 3. The highest deposit will be 5 times per capita GDP 4. If the person has lied while disclosing income or wealth, the Jurors can impose a file of 50 times the difference 5. If the person has agreed to pay deposit of 10 times per capita GDP, he will not be accused of filing lesser deposit 6. The per capita GDP will be as disclosed by RBI to Election Commission. EC can round it to the nearest thousand rupees. So consider May-2009 election. The per capita income was about Rs 45,000. Then if person’s annual income is below Rs 45,000, then deposit will be Rs 45000. If his income is say Rs 500,000 per year and wealth is Rs 40,00,000 then deposit will be Rs 45000 + max(Rs 500,000/5 , Rs 40,00,000/50) = Rs 45000 + max(100000, 80000) = Rs 145,000. And highest deposit payable will be Rs 2250,000 . Is deposit of Rs 45000 too high for a poor person? Well, in 1951 deposit was Rs 500 and per capita income was below Rs 300 per person per year. So Loksabha election deposit about 1.5 times the per capita deposit. In the formula I suggested, it is still lower for the poorest, and goes high only for the wealthy candidates. If a person is wealthy, there is no reason for Election Commission to show mercy on him and let him contest for lower fee. If the person is not wealthy, then deposit is only Rs 45000 So my proposal is to get above election deposit related law passed using RTI2. 40.8 Increasing number of citizen-voters who second a candidate As of now, in LS election, one needs 10 citizen-voters to second a candidate’s name. Thus number should be increased to 1000, but the procedure to second the candidate should change. Instead of candidate collecting signatures on a form, the citizen who wants to second should be asked to visit Patwari’s office, and Patwari should enter his name in the PC along with his picture in the web-cam camera attached to the Patwari’s PC. The seconding happen any day. And the citizen can cancel his seconding any day. If a candidate’s count exceeds 1000 and stays Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 256 above 1000 for 30 days in a row, he will be qualified for LS elections in next 6 years. If he fails to meet this requirement, his deposit will be refunded. 40.9 Restricting number of candidates Using RTI2, I propose to enact following law : If there are more than 8 candidates, then there will a pre-election, 30 days before main election, where the 4 parties (or candidate, if he was independent) which got highest votes in the previous election need not contest and only the rest will be on the pre-election ballot paper. This pre-election ballot paper will have single vote. The 4 candidates which get highest votes in this pre-election will qualify for main election. The deposit for pre-election will be same as deposit for election. And the 4 persons who won preelecctio will not need to pay deposit for the main election How pre-election will reduce number of spurious candidates Many spurious candidates contest election to cut votes of one or more serious candidates. The pre-election reduces their ability to cut the votes of the serious candidates. 40.10 Eliminate Optional Withdrawal of candidates A candidate who is filling form can tag his election filing with zero or more candidates. If he has tagged, then he can contest only if all the candidates in the list got disqualified. If anyone is qualified, then his form will be considered withdrawn and deposit is refunded. But he will not have power to decide whether he wants to withdraw or not. 40.11 Instant Recall Voting (for detailed explanation, please see IRV on wikipedia) The election procedure we use is “single vote, first past the pole” i.e. one voter can cast only one vote and the candidate with highest vote wins. This procedure has a flaw which has been known since 1200 AD – voters can not vote for the candidate they like most ; they are compelled by circumstances and procedure to vote for the candidate who can defeat the worst of the winnable candidates. This is not to say that voters prefer winnable over unwinnable, or winnability impresses anyone at all. Let me explain with one example. Say in one election, BJP and Congress are contesting with 4 more independents, A to D. Say a citizen likes Mr. A. But he fears that if Congress wins, he will lose badly. In such case, ensuring that Congress loses is his first priority. And so he will end up voting for BJP, even if he thinks that Mr. A is better than BJP candidates. Likewise, someone may like Mr. A, but he believes that if BJP wins, he will be worse off. And so he has not much of a choice but to vote for Congress. So we see that voters cannot vote for the candidate he likes most – but he has to vote for candidate who can defeat the winnable candidate he hates most, even if he hates that candidate. The problem has been known for past 800 years. And the solution is also 800 years old – it is known as Instant Recall Voting. I will explain by giving complete description of IRV 1. Say 8 candidates namely PersonA, PersonB, …, PersonH are contesting 2. Then ballot paper design can be as follows Free download at http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf Raajaa must be Prajaa-aadheen, or else he will rob citizens and ruin the nation – Satyarth Prakash, page-1 of chap-6 257 candidate number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Party Cong BJP CPM BSP Ind Ind.

The details of the ballot paper design are as follows a. the ballot paper has 8 rows b. first row shows candidate number, second row has part name, third row has candidate name, forth row has symbol; c. the fifth row is for the candidate whom the voter thinks is most honest d. the sixth to eight rows are for the candidates whom the voter thinks is second most honest, third most honest to forth most honest candidates e. there are (nCandidates + 2) columns – the first and last columns have row headings and one column for each candidate f. the height of ballot paper will be 14 inches – 0.5 inch border at top 0.5 inches for 1st row having candidate number, 1 inch for second row having party name, 2 inches for 3rd row having candidate name, 1.5 inch for symbol row, and 1.5 inch for each preference and 0.5 inch border at bottom = (0.5 + 0.5 + 1 + 2 + 1.5 + 1.5*4 + 0.5) = 12 inches g. the width of the ballot paper will be : 0.5 left border, 2 inch for first row and 1.5 inch for each candidate and 0.5 inch for right candidate. So if there are 8 candidates, the ballot paper will be (0.5 + 2 + 1.5*8 + 0.5) = 15 inches wide. If there are 5 candidates, the ballot paper will be (0.5 + 2 + 1.5*5 + 0.5) = 10.5 inches wide. h. the borders will be 0.2 inch thick so that the stamp will not spill over two cells The vertical design is as follows http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 259 # Party Name Symbol The Most Honest 2nd Most Honest 3rd Most Honest 4th Most Honest 1 Cong PersonA Most Honest Second Most Honest Third Most Honest Forth Most Honest 2 BJA PersonB Most Honest Second Most Honest Third Most Honest Forth Most Honest 3 CPX PersonC Most Honest Second Most Honest Third Most Honest Forth Most Honest 4 Ind PersonD Most Honest Second Most Honest Third Most Honest Forth Most Honest 5 Ind PersonE Most Honest Second Most Honest Third Most Honest Forth Most Honest 6 Ind PersonF Most Honest Second Most Honest Third Most Honest Forth Most Honest 7 Ind PersonG Most Honest Second Most Honest Third Most Honest Forth Most Honest 8 Ind PersonH Most Honest Second Most Honest Third Most Honest Forth Most Honest http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 260 4. In the IRV I am proposing, if there are more than 8 candidates, then there will a preelecction 30 days before main election, where the four parties/candidates which got highest votes in the previous election need not contest and only the rest will be on the ballot paper. This pre-election ballot paper will have single vote. The 4 candidates which get highest votes in this pre-election will qualify for main election 5. In the main election, the voter will put 4 stamps, one in each row and in any columns of his choices. Thus he will give 4 preferences amongst 8 candidates. 6. The ballot box will have wider slit so that ballot paper has to be fold only once along the height. Does any country use IRV? Yes. Ireland has been using IRV to elect its President for past over 70 years. The number of votes are 30 lakhs, twice our Parliamentary constituency. While Ireland is small country, but then we have more counting staff as well. In addition to Ireland, Australia and many countries have been using IRV for decades. Counting and Results in IRV In IRV as above, there will 7 rounds of counting. ° In the first round, there will be 8 piles based on first preference. ° In second round, the candidate which got lowest vote is deemed defeated. And any candidate which got less than 1% of polled votes will be also deemed defeated. So there will be at most seven candidates. And his votes are re-distributed based on second preference on that ballot paper. ° In third round, the candidate which got lowest vote is deemed defeated. So there are now at most six candidates. And his votes are re-distributed based on second preference or third preference of the ballot paper. ° And so till there are only two piles. And the person who has highest votes is declared winner ° At any point, if one person get more than 50% votes, then winner is decided. After that counting will still go on for 7 rounds, but result will not be effected. ° In the last round, the person who gets highest votes will be declares as winner. Administrative details of counting ° Say there are 15,00,000 and 1500 booths. So there are 1500 ballot boxes. ° Then Collector will have about 7 rooms, each with about 200-250 booths, each room will have 10-15 tables. So there will be 20 sub-rounds of counting in each of the 7 rounds of counting. ° In each sub round, each table will get one ballot box. It will make 8 piles. After counting, it will add the ballots to the piles. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 261 Actual count in most cases If number of voters are say 15,00,000 then most voters on an average will give only 2-4 preferences, say 3 preferences on an average. In such a case, one ballot will change pile at most twice. So actual ballot counting is not 7 times 15,00,000 but no more twice of 15,00,000. Advantages of IRV IRV is immune to clone effect and so adversaries will not waste time in sponsoring clones. Also, IRV enables voter to vote for a good but seemingly unwinnable candidate as first preference and then give vote to winnable candidate as 4th preference. Thus, voter feels protected and the seemingly unwinnable candidates get highlighted. And the seemingly unwinnable candidate may actually win !! This is an important plus point of IRV that new candidates’ dependence on media-owners reduces and media-owners’ power in effecting the outcome of election decreases. So IRV makes elections less dependent on media-owners. 40.12 Election and Proportionate Representation in Rajyasabha The Rajyasabha MPs should be elected by citizens, and not via MLAs. The election via MLAs results into auctioning of seats literally. This is nothing new – even in US when Senators were elected by MLAs, the sell outs were common and which is why citizens forced Senators to enact a law that would enable citizens to elect Senators and not MLAs. And we should elect Rajyasabha MPs using proportionate voting in the state. Each party or group of independents can put their ordered list. A citizen will cast one vote with 5 preferences (IRV) towards any of the 5 lists and number of candidates that will get elected will depend on the number of votes a list gets. This will create proportionate representation in the Rajyasabha. 40.13 Inner Party Democracy I propose following law for inner party democracy 1. A person who wants to be member of a political party will need to and can appear at Patwari’s office, pay Rs 3 fee and submit the serial number of the Party he wishes to be member of. EC will allow a person to be member of any number of Parties. 2. Talati will post the names on EC’s website. 3. The Party President will submit a list to EC , which will contain the list of members he has approved. The EC will also put that list on EC’s website. 4. The Party President can cancel the membership in next one month without giving any reason 5. The Party’s Constitution may divide members into 5 or less categories – A, B, C, D and E. 6. If the Party’s Constitution says that MLA candidate must be elected by members of certain category , then District Collector will appoint a Tahsildaar, who will conduct an election amongst the Party members of specified category and EC will allocate the ticket only to that candidate http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 262 As of now, the draft of the above proposed law is not ready. And given the level of corruption, in EC, Collector, Tahsildaar and judges, no political party will accept such clause and very few citizens will agree to force this laws on political parties. Once RTR laws have reduced corruption EC, Collector, Tahsildaar and judges, citizens may agree to force inner part elections on political parties. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 263 41 RRG proposals to increase Swadeshi 41.1 WOI Company I have proposed a concept called as WOIC (aka Wholly Owned by Indian Citizens) Company. What is WOIC Company? Well, Company’s Act has several types of companies such as proprietorship, partnership, private limited, public limited and so forth. WOIC Company is one more category which is as follows : 1. If a company is WOIC, then resident Indian citizens above 18 years can buy its shares 2. A Govt body may buy WOIC’s shares 3. A partnership where all partners are resident Indian citizens can but its shares 4. A WOIC Company can buy shares in WOIC company 5. No one else can buy shares in WOIC company Thus a foreigner cannot own even 0.1% of WOIC directly or indirectly. 41.2 Promoting WOIC In addition, I have proposed several laws to promote WOICs, such as 1. Only WOIC will be able to buy land in India. Non-WOIC can lease land or at most 25 years with adjustable annual rents 2. Only WOIC can enter telecom, satellite and other strategic fields 3. Only WOIC can enter into crude oil mining 4. Only WOIC can enter into mining of most minerals 5. Only WOIC can manufacture edible non-medicine food products And so forth. I propose to enact these laws one after another in batches using RTI2. These laws will implement Swadeshi. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 264 42 RRG proposals to improve Electricity production and supply 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. How MRCM will improve power consumption? 4. How Right to Recall judges and Jury System will 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 citizens is to force PM, CMs to sign RTI2 , and then using RTI2, 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 RTI2, citizens should also enact Jury System over Govt owned Electricity Companies. This will reduce corruption staff, reduce theft and reduce maintenance failures. 42.3 No 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 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 enact following system using RTI2. 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 share citizens of other states. 4. Example : Say estimated production from power plant owned by Central Govt in coming month is 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 http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 265 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 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 RTI2 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 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 for 8 hours a day and a 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 http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 266 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 industry and get amount equal to market rate. 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. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 267 43 RRG proposals to decrease crude oil imports, external debt 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. 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 impact petrol imports and the final sale price of petrol, and how petrol import 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. 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 debt is repaid, abd 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 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. 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 2. Right to Recall Hindustan Petroleum Chairman, ONGC Chairman, Petroleum Minister http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 268 3. Jury System over employees of Hindustan Petroleum, ONGC, Petroleum Ministry etc 4. Encouraging use of local technology in oil drilling and refining 5. Purchase the oil wells in other countries 6. RTR City Transport Chairman to improve public bus system to reduce petrol consumption 7. RTR State Transport Chairman to improve public bus system to reduce petrol consumption 8. Improve administration so that travel requirements reduce 43.4 Giving crude oil royalties to citizens (MRCM law) My key proposal is to convince citizens to force PM, CMs to sign RTI2 law. And then using RTI2, citizens should force PM to sign MRCM law. Once MRCM law is signed, 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, profits of companies in exploration, drilling, refining and retailing. 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 and not stealing 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 taxes on internal production and replace the taxes by royalties alone. 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 Managing oil imports’ in a way that forex needed to import oil 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) Company. 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. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 269 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 entire sales it makes to refining company will be taken as income. 6. The Govt may impose import duty on crude oil or finished petrol. 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 RRG 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 will give a minimum income to all workers and so it will protect them against exploitation. 3. Hire-fire laws : Using RTI2, 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 private PF and private pension schemes. This will reduce burden on startups. 5. Environmental laws at par with US of the year, when per capita GDP of US was that of India. 6. Ban 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 system 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. 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 http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 270 vehicle takes minus per capita available space at peak hour). And the parking price too should be increased accordingly. 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. All these decisions will be taken by City/State level RTI2. Further, I propose to make all travel related expenses non-deductible. This will include purchase of petrol, purchase of vehicles and depreciation on vehicles. I propose to enact all these laws using RTI2 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. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 271 44 Topics to be elaborated in 302.pdf , 302.doc 44.1 What is 301.pdf , 302.doc? This book is 301.pdf (aka 301.doc) . After a few days, I will freeze the contents of this book. Many important topics will be covered in next book namely 302.pdf. In short, 302.pdf is sequel to this book 301.pdf 44.2 RRG proposals to reduce Islamist violence in JK and rest of India In the chapter on JK, I enumerated the administrative proposals to reduce Islamist violence in India. The proposals in short are strengthening The Indian Military Industrial Complex and using The Complex to contain Saudi Arabia, US, UK and China., and their puppets Pakistan and Bangladesh. Reducing Islamist violence in rest of India is a trivial matter. Examples of Islamist violence in India are numerous, and one case study is Deganga of West Bengal given at http://www.dailypioneer.com/290147/Deganga%E2%80%99s-Hindus-abandoned-by-own.html The solution I propose are 1. Right to Recall District Police Chief 2. Right to Recall Prime Minister 3. Right to Recall Chief Minister 4. Right to Recall Supreme Court judges 5. Right to Recall high Court judges 6. Right to Recall District judges 7. Right to Recall District, State and National Public Prosecutors 8. Imprisonment, Execution of PM (or ex-PM) by Majority Approval 9. Imprisonment, Execution of CM (or ex-CM) by Majority Approval 10. Imprisonment, Execution of SCj (or ex-SCj) by Majority Approval 11. Imprisonment, Execution of HCj (or ex-HCj) by Majority Approval 12. Imprisonment, Execution of District Police Chief (or ex-DPC) by Majority Approval The above changes will be sufficient to reduce Islamist violence in India. 44.3 RRG proposals to reduce unemployment In the chapter titled as "RRG Proposals to Improve Engineering Skills”, (please search for chapter on Engineering Skills), I have described the law-drafts I have proposed 1. MRCM draft will increase the incomes of commons and will thus increase demand for goods. This will promote manufacturing and increase employment. 2. MRCM draft will decrease the price of land and so rents will decrease. This will result in increase in commercial/industrial activities and thus employment will increase. 3. The Wealth Tax draft imposes 2% tax on land value, and thus hoarding of land will decrease and so land prices will decreases. So it will be easier for a person to start business and so unemployment will decrease 4. The 300% import duties will reduce imports and increase local manufacturing 5. Easy conditions to enter and exit business will also increase employment 6. Introduction of hire-fire will increase the number of people who want to start businesses, industry etc and so again unemployment will decrease. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 272 44.4 RRG proposals to improve Agriculture , Food Supply 1. Right to Recall National/State Agriculture Minister and Right to Recall National/State Irrigation Minister will reduce corruption in Agriculture and Irrigation. It will also improve warehousing and number of cold storages. 2. Increase in support prices will enable farmers to pay for canal maintenance and water charges 3. The drafts of EAS.01 (see http://rahulmehta.com/eas001.htm ) and EAS.03 (see http://rahulmehta.com/eas003.htm ) will improve water supply 4. The metering of agriculture water will reduce wastage, improve supply 5. Ban harmful pesticides, cancel subsidies to all pesticides. 6. Ban exports of all agricultural goods including basmati, meat, eggs, milk, cotton etc 7. Ban Jatropa growing 8. Cancel subsidies to chicken, eggs, meat 9. Cancel subsidies on chemical fertilizer, raise support price 10. Cancel subsidies to tractors, raise support price 11. Improve ration card system by Right to Recall District Supply Officer and giving choice to citizens to change Ration Card Owner 12. Add pulses to Ration Card System. 13. Add desi cow milk to Ration Card System 44.5 RRG proposals to reduce Underground Water use All details are at http://rahulmehta/eas01.htm 44.6 RRG proposals to stabilize land prices, house prices and improve housing, reduce slums 1. Wealth Tax draft reduce instability in land prices. 2. Inheritance Tax draft further stabilize land prices 3. MRCM draft will reduce price of GoI plots 4. Wealth tax will also apply on wealth of trusts, and this will further reduce and stabilize land prices 5. Adding wealth owned by HUF to wealth of Karta will further reduce plot prices and further stabilize plot prices. 6. As land prices reduces, slums will reduce. 44.7 RRG proposals wrt Land Acquisition Land acquisition is important issue for industrial estates to come up, and growth of industrial estates are must to increase technological talent needed to manufacture weapons in long run. Also, India has become heavily dependent on imports because of lack of manufacturing capabilities and of many reasons why manufacturing capability is low is clumsy land acquisition process. Following is the brief summary of land acquisition process I propose : 1. The first step is to create land ownership database, and explicitly label each individual as (a)owning no flat (b)owning one flat (c)owning 2 flats (d) owning 3 flats (e)owning more than 3 flats (f)owning no plot (g)owning 1 plot (h)owning 2 plots (i)owning 3 plots (j)owning http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 273 more than plots (k)income less than 2 lakhs per year (l)income between 2 lakhs and 5 lakhs per year (m)income between 5 lakhs and 10 lakhs per year (n)income between 10 lakhs or above per year (o)value of wealth above 25 sqm per family member 2. Purpose of (1) : Too many people pose themselves as “helpless” and demand very high compensation. The data gathered in (1) can be used whether the person is applicable only for market rate compensation or above the market rate compensation as well. If the person has several plots of additional wealth, then he will not be eligible for above the market rate compensation. 3. If the person whose land is being acquired has no other plot/flat, then his compensation will be twice the market price (as decided by the Jurors) plus annual inflation adjusted monthly payment equal to the agricultural income that land would have fetched 4. The acquired land will be only rented and not sold. And the rent will distributed amongst citizens as per MRCM draft. 44.8 RRG proposals on Swiss and other underground banks 1. Increase strength of Indian Military to US levels 2. Narco tests in public after Approval by Jury and pr Approval by Majority on the people suspected of having Swiss accounts 3. Cancel all trade, tourism and diplomatic relations with Switzerland till it changes banking laws 4. Ask other countries to cancel trade, tourism and diplomatic relations with Switzerland till it changing banking laws 44.9 RRG proposals to Improve Health, reduce medicine cost 1. Right to Recall National Health Minister, State Health Minister, District Health Officer 2. Right to Recall Medical Council of India Chairman and Right to Recall State Medical Council 3. Many times doctors deliberately prescribe expensive medicine when cheaper medicine is available. Solution? If patient wants to disclose the medicine he is taking, the pharmacists will enter the list of medicine patient took along with his mobile number and email ID. So that competing companies may send him list of similar medicine with cheaper price 4. Many pharmacists are willing to sell medicines at lesser commissions. But the fellow pharmacists hire criminals to stop such pharmacists. Right to Recall Police Commissioner will reduce the strength of criminals and so pharmacists willing to sell medicine at lesser prices will be able to sell medicine at lesser prices 5. Many pharmacists are willing to sell medicines at lesser commissions. But the fellow pharmacists bribe Sales Tax officials to harass that pharmacists. Right to Recall Govt Officers will reduce the strength of Govt officials in doing such off-duty work, and so pharmacists willing to sell medicine at lesser prices will be able to sell medicine at lesser prices 6. Using RTI2, remove process patent law. And using RTI2, enact a law that MBBS cannot leave India for 8 years and DM cannot leave for another 2 years and MD cannot leave India for 3 another years. And using RTI2, abolish all self finance colleges in Medicine. 7. No self finance college in medicine http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 274 8. The doctors who do MBBS will have to stay in India for 8 years ; those who do MD must stay in India for 2 more years and those who do DM must stay in India for additional 3 years 44.10 RRG proposals to improve Telecom, TV Channels 1. Right to Recall TRAI Chairman, Telecom Minister, Communication Minister, Doordarshan Chairman will reduce corruption in TV, cable and Telecom business 2. Portable numbers in mobile phones 3. Citizens can add/remove cable laying companies using procedure similar to Right to Recall 4. Broadcasters will need to mark advertisements with digital header (meta-data) so that parents can program their DTH boxes to blank out the advertisements 5. Citizens can blacklist a channel so that it cannot transmit anymore 6. The DTH service provider must auction its channel space and charge same carrier fee from all channels 7. The broadcasters will have to sell each channel individually 8. Each citizen will get a mobile number and a free mobile phone 9. Each citizen will get a landline phone number and a free landline phone 44.11 RRG proposals to cure Naxalite Problem 1. MRCM draft will reduce poverty and thus reduce Naxal problem. 2. Right to Recall District Police Commissioner draft, Right to Recall Home Minister and Right to Recall CM draft will reduce corruption in police dept. This will also reduce police atrocities and atrocities by private criminals. So Tribals will be able to live in villages and cities without atrocities, and so more Tribals will move from forests to villages\cities and so Naxalism will further reduce . 3. Right to Recall Police Chief draft and Right to Recall HomeMinister draft will improve police force and thus enable policemen to arrest Naxal leaders. 4. Right to Recall District Supply Office will improve Ration Card System (aka Public Distribution System) and so hunger will reduce. This too will reduce number of recruits Naxal leaders are getting. 5. Right to Recall over other Officers will reduce corruption in respective departments and this will further reduce poverty. 6. The Jury System will ensure proper compensation to those who are losing lands, and this will reduce recruits Naxalites get. 7. The set of other proposed law (please search for Chapter or Sub-chapter heading on “Unemployment”) reduce unemployment and this will further reduce recruits Naxalite leaders are getting 8. When each common man has weapons (please see chapter on “Weaponization of Commons”), Naxalites will not be able to harass citizens. 44.12 RRG proposals to reduce Population Growth 1. MRCM draft has clause that if a parent produces more children, then the money they will get as Mineral Royalty will decrease http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 275 2. Will improve old age homes so that citizens have lesser desire for more children 44.13 RRG proposals to Reduce Female Feticide MRCM draft has following clause, which is decrease the bias parents have against female child One year after this law is passed, the rent a person obtains o will increase by 33% if he has no kids o will decrease by 33% if he has more than (2 daughters, 1 son) or (1 daughter, 1 son) or 2 sons or 3 daughters and in which youngest kid is born 1 year after the law is passed o will decrease by 66% if he has more than (3 daughters, 1 son) or (2 daughters, 2 sons) or (1 daughter, 2 sons) or 3 sons or 4 daughters and in which youngest kid is born 1 year after the law is passed 44.14 RRG proposals to manage water disputes Each citizen in the State will have Water Allowance equal to water available in that state divided by its population. And for rivers, a state’s share will be equal to length of river that passes thru it. Some details are in http://rahulmehta.com/eas001.htm and rest are http://rahulmehta.com/eas003.htm The citizen can allocate this water quota to any water user or water buyer of any state.

E.g. Many temples deny entry to dalits, because temple owner knows that judges, police chiefs will not set traps against them and/or punish them. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 279 The RTR over judges and police chiefs will force judges, police chiefs to set traps and also punish such temple owners. This will reduce atrocities against dalits. 5. Many person who commit atrocities on dalits walk away because of nexuses with judges. The Jury System reduces this problem, and so atrocities on dalits will reduce after Jury System is enacted. 44.31 RRG proposals to reduce Crimes against Women 1.

As most of us know, India’s top polity, administration is run about 10000 elitemen, of which majority now represent interests of videshi elitemen. If MRCM comes, the 10000 deshi/videshi elitemen would loose royalties of minerals to citizens. This will weaken elitemen and strengthen the commons. Likewise, RTR will reduce the ability of elitemen to bribe Ministers, officers, judges etc. This will reduce strength of elitemen once again. Now RTI2 will lead to MRCM, RTR within 3-4 months. And so the elitemen hate RTI2. 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 sign anything against collective will of these 10000 elitemen. The intellectuals all grant-seekers and so most intellectuals race to serve the interest of these elitemen. The elitemen hate RTI2 and almost all intellectuals hate RTI2, and do most MLAs, MPs, CMs, PM etc. The reason is not hatred, but the reason is that if RTI2 comes, then the elitemen stand would lose over 95% of incomes they make via bribing and via minerals. 45.2 So will elitemen, Ministers. IAS give up without shedding a drop of blood? I at RRG is proposing and demanding only a 3 line draft RTI2 before PM, CMs.. I have no other demands. 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 RTI2 draft. And RTI2 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 sign the RTI2 draft laws without any bloodshed? 45.3 My take I want zero bloodshed. But hoping that elitemen would give away minerals’ incomes to citizens and that Ministers etc will up all the bribe income without resorting violence seems to be too good to be true. I want to bring RTI2 only via citizens forcing 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 RTI2 activists. But if elitemen decide to use violence against RTI2 activists, then also, I would request RTI2 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, Ministers etc resort to violence, and we citizens will need to re-think. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 283 46 If the elitemen throw Dictatorship : The Udham Singh Plan If elitemen decide to throw Dictatorship on India, then if as low as 500 Udhams (Singhs) decide to execute The Udham Singh Plan, then that Dictatorship can be overthrown. How? 1. Most important part is that the Udham must work solo and should not never ever form an organization. If one reads history, he will notice that Bhagat Singh lost because of Vibhishan in his group. And no one build a Lanka which doesn’t have Vibhishan. If all the good people in Hindustan Socialist Revolution Party were working solo, they would have killed more British, could given inspiration to many more and could have created deeper threats inside British. But because they formed a group, and there will always be a Vibhishan in the group, they all got caught and killed, and they could kill just one British. So last mistake an Udham should do is to form a group. Because 1 out of 10 people in such group will be a Vibhishan, and would lead to arrest or death of rest 9. 2. Each Udham should work solo, and randomly pick a member equivalent to a Dwyer in the Dictatorial setup consisting of one Dictator and several officers of him. 3. And Udham should deal with these Dwyer in small or large numbers. The larger the number, better. And higher the position, better. But don’t aim for too high positions, as these targets are highly protected and more risky to approach. 4. The death of 100s of Dwyers will break morale of Dwyer and the Dictator would feel isolated. Whether an Udham works solo or work in group, he will die anyway. But if he works in group or say 10 or 50 Udhams, and if even one member in his group is a Vibhishan, all Udhams will die without killing even one Dwyer. Whereas if these 10 to 50 Udhams work solo, it is guaranteed that each will manage to deal with at least one to ten Dwyers before he dies. So expected number of dealings are higher if the Udhams work in solo than in group. If in first year, if 10 Udhams show up, many would be inspired and follow his footsteps. The threads of Udhams will break the morale of all the Dwyers and the Dictator will collapse. I don’t want to elaborate any further. And I don’t need to – any intelligent reader would understand what I have written. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 284 47 RRG’s Membership, Candidate selection etc rules 47.1 Splits I at RRG officially encourage members to form one more party campaigning for Right to Recall laws. In fact, I would welcome an MP/MLA level candidate forming his own party and managing RRG affairs inside that MP, MLA Constituency. 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. 47.2 Funding The RRG will not take any donations from members or outsiders. Please note clearly, the RRG 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 RRG officials. The party officials and supporters will not get any salary or even expense re-imbursement for any expense they make. 47.3 Becoming a member There is no membership fee or joining fee. There will be no requirement to bring donations in the party. In fact, RRG is against cash donations. There will be open request to fund newspaper advertisements, but there is no requirement. The person should be citizen of India, above 18 and a registered voter. He may or may not be member of other Party. 47.4 Open expectations from members 1. The member is expected to take steps mentioned at http://rahulmehta.com/003.pdf and http://rahulmehta.com/003.htm 2. He should sign the petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/rti2en/3. He should write letters to any 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 RRG stands for. The letter should also mention that if the leader does not support the First Govt Order, the letter writer will publicly tell every citizen that that leader is anticommmo 4. If the member is computer literate, he should create an account in orkut.com, facebook.com and LinkedIn.com and join the Party’s orkut community ‘Mine Royalties for Citizens’ at http://www.orkut.co.in/Community.aspx?cmm=21780619 , facebook community and LinkedIn community. 5. If the member is NOT computer literate, and then he should find an MRCM-Recall member who is computer literate and someone he trusts. He can operate his account via the computer literate RRG member. But orkut account will be compulsory. And one computer literate RRG 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. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 285 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. 9. The National President may call of Jury of 24 of members and if over 18 members suggest expulsion of a member, he will be expelled after he is redeemed the money he has spent in the party so far. 10. If a member decides to spend money for campaigning for RTI2, RTR, RRG laws, he is encouraged but not required to create a separate savings bank account for RRG activities. And periodically put statement of that savings account and/or money he spent for campaigning RTI2, MRCM, RTR laws. The rest of the activities are described at http://rahulmehta.com/003.pdf and http://rahulmehta.com/003.htm 47.5 Deciding first MP candidate 1. The first person in a district who gives RRG advertisement worth Rs 100,000 in a leading newspaper in district will become RRG candidate for that Parliamentary Constituency 2. The amount will increase as more people become candidate. 3. 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 RRG candidate for Mumbai, then advertisement amount is Rs 600,000 4. The above price is 2009 base. The amounts will increase by proportionate increase in newspaper advertisement. 47.6 Changing the MP candidate If a person becomes MP candidate by giving RRG 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 RTI2 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 RRG. RRG 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. 47.7 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. 47.8 Member’s role in elections The members will be free to campaign for the candidate they think is best person to bring RTI2, RTR, MRCM etc laws. The members need not campaign for the official Party candidate. 47.9 Replacement of the President of the Party 1. The election will be via orkut community or another internet community only. 2. Any member can file for position of Party President http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 286 3. The 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 4. The members will cast their votes. 5. The person with highest weights will become the Party President. 6. Those who are not computer literate shall vote via friend, relative etc who is computer literate. 7. The incoming President will spend in thrice the newspaper advertisement amount President has spent. The outgoing President will get no remuneration. 8. The President can be replaced only at least 1 year before coming General LS election ends. 47.10 Appointment other officer bearers Other that President, there will be candidate-in-waiting, and there will be no other officer bearer. 47.11 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 RTI2 and RTR laws I am proposing. 47.12 Recognizing other RRGs If any citizen of India forms Party whose Constitution has RTI2 and RTR drafts , I at RRG will recognize that party as coalition partner. And if the Party President gives newspaper advertisement of RTI2, 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 RRGs at MP Constituency level plus about 5000 RRGs at MLA level. More the better. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 287 48 A possible fate of India if MRCM, RTR etc Laws do not come What could be a possible fate of India if RTR, MRCM etc laws do not come in India? The India is as of now a Parliamentary Judocratic Oligarchy. We do not have Jury System where in citizens can cancel the laws made by MPs. We also dont have procedures to expel PM, CMs, MPs, MLAs, judges, police chiefs etc. This has created immense rot in judiciary, administration, Ministers etc. And citizens do not get mineral royalties and GoI plots’ rents. This has increased the poverty. If the proposed MRCM, RTR-PM, RTR-judges, Jury etc laws do not come then the rot will continue to increase. The honest people will reduce joining IAS, IPS, judiciary and honest people will also reduce contesting elections. And whatever honest people are there, they will soon quit or retire or will become irrelevant. The Military will also keep weakening and become more and more dependent on foreign-made weapons. And Police and Courts will also weaken. The elitemen will resort to more and more confiscations in the name of SEZs and will resort to more and more regressive taxes like service tax, VAT, GST etc. This will increase poverty and so more and poor will turn towards Naxalism and/or Christianist Missionaries or both for food, medicine, education etc. In addition, these existing rotten MPs of BJP, Congress, CPM etc will never ever implement National-ID system and so influx of Bangladeshies will also go on. Most (most, not all) elitekids in India are interested only in defecting to US and/or robbing India. They dont want to waste their precious time in fixing laws and certainly not laws that go against economic interests of Ministers, MPs, MLAs, judges, IAS, IPS and elitemen. They don’t want any confrontation. The elitemen and their pet eminent intellectuals insist that commons MUST not get any education in law, English and also must not get any rents and royalties from Govt plots and mines. By worsening examination system, the Ministers/IAS will ruin the education system. This makes commons poorer and poorer by day. eg compared to 1991, in 2007 per capita pulse consumption was 25% less and grain consumption was 10% less. In addition, we see that more and more Hindus are turning towards Christianity and Naxalism which only shows that poverty is increasing in those segments. Due to rising poverty, many poor Hindus are driven towards Christian missionaries who give food, medicine, education etc. Eventually, this will lead to militancy, as it did in Nepal and worsen the strife in areas such as Orissa, parts of AP, parts of MP, parts of Chhatisgadh etc. When a country’s Military becomes dependent on weapons from foreign countries, the foreign nation if and when stronger simply devours that country. The law of ocean is – the stronger fish shall devour the weaker ones ; no mercy ; no exceptions. So if the weakening of Military Industrial Complex continues, it may become so weak that US will do an Iraq on India any day. IOW, if MRCM, Jury, Recall etc laws do not come into India, India will be in very bad shape in every way. So I at RRG request citizens of India to ask their favorite Party’s leaders to enact the first five MRCM GNs so that other laws related to Recall, MRCM, Jury etc can come in India. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 288 49 Who might support RRG drafts? And who would, must oppose RRG drafts? 1. If you are interested in teaching “morality” to us commons or changing the attitudes of commons then RRG is NOT for you. The RRG drafts follow the axiom that we commons are no more ethical and no less ethical than Ministers, IAS, judges, elitemen and intellectuals. 2. If you are interested in “awakening” us commons then RRG law drafts are NOT for you. The RRG law drafts tacitly presume that we commons are as awake as Ministers, IAS, judges, elitemen and intellectuals. 3. If you are interested in reducing the poverty of commons and reducing the atrocities they face, RRG’s law drafts are for you. 4. A large chunk of people in top 2 cr Indians believe that commons of India lack morals, lack national character, are irrational, are sentimental (read : temperamental nutcases) and commons have bad attitudes etc. And they also believe that elitemen and intellectuals, who are honest and knights in shining armors, should be in complete charge. They love to insult us commons and take pride by saying that commons in India are cowards, void of courage, lazy, dhimmies etc. If you believe in all this anti-common pro-elite nonsense, then the RRG law drafts are not for you. 5. One of my observation has been that so called “people persons” seldom liked my RRG lawdraafts The so called “people persons” who are social, networking and those who claim to understand “human nature” and understand culture never ever like RRG draft. Heck, they hate very idea that Party should have law-drafts – they insist that Party should have only vague policy statements. Of the very few people with whom I have interacted often, the technical and accounting people are far more likely to like RRG drafts. 6. Pro-Military people more likely to like RRG law-drafts than anti-Military people. 7. People see “hidden plus points” in corruption such as it gets the work done are unlikely to RRG law drafts 8. Many see that corruption is due to nature of people of India and so no attempt should be made to cut powers of judges, IAS, IPS, Ministers but only people should be reformed. Such persons too will hate RRG law-drafts. 9. Most of all, there are people who believe that judges in Supreme Court and High Courts never practice nepotism. These people too will hate MRCM-Recall agenda as agenda assumes nepotism as prevalent. 10. And if your goal is to win election, or come become close friend of someone who is MP or MLA, you must never ever join MRCM-Recall Party. The Party’s basic and fundamental goal is to force CMs, PM to sign the first two proposed GNs. The election contesting is only to give propaganda to these proposed GNs. In general, 9800,000 of the people in top 1 crore of the population will intensely hate MRCM Party and its agenda. Only 2% in top 1% of India will like MRCM agenda. The % of people who would like will increase as wealth/income of the person decreases in general. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 289 A short quiz I would ask you following questions. Please answer as “fully and strongly agree” or “do not agree strongly “ as you would disclose if asked in public . IOW, assume that each and every friend, client, colleague, relative etc were to know your answers on the following questions.

I had participated in Quit India Movement in 1942, just like many of my other colleagues. I was imprisoned by the British Govt for this. We never knew when India would be free. We had no realistic hope that freedom would come in 1947 or would even come in our life times, for whatever number of years we might have lived. For us, freedom movement itself was goal ---success or failure of movement and nature of the subsequent regime was not in our minds. Back then, even in our worst dreams we did not imagine that post-freedom India would see such corrupt leaders, corrupt officers, corrupt policemen and corrupt judges. We never realized that one day the “free” India’s Govt’s would enact laws like SEZ Act where in land will get confiscated the way East India Company did before 1857. In our wildest dream we did not think of leaders who would starve our own Military of funds and pay so little to soldiers that they would quit and even stop joining. Court cases taking 5-10 years was never in our vision. Sometimes, I wonder if I and my colleagues would have taken sufferings and risks of lives to fight against British if we had known that India would see such corrupt Ministers, IAS, IPS, judges and such hopeless defunct corrupt laws. Irrespective of the ideological differences we had, our goal was betterment of common citizens, and creating a regime free of corruption and atrocities. All in all, we never imagined that such elected leaders and our “own” officers and judges would be go so corrupt and inflict so many atrocities on commons to sustain their corruption. Our beliefs did not prove very wrong till 1980s. But 19990s and late 1990s were watershed. And since 2000 AD, it has been a forgone case. At least partially, we freedom fighters have failed ourselves. Where did we go wrong? When we freedom fighters were thinking of administrative changes in 1940s and 1950s, we had assumed that almost all leaders, senior officers and senior policemen, judges will be non-corrupt. So in all administrative changes we thought, we had no problem in placing discretionary powers (to the extent given in Article-22) in hands of Ministers, officers, judges etc. And we never saw dire need to give procedures to commons to replace Ministers, officers, judges. The time has proved our assumption was flawed and so no wonder the system wherein all discretionary powers are with Ministers, officers and judges is now ruining the common citizens. It is time we re-write administrative code with real life fact in mind that as of now, most Ministers, senior officers, senior policemen and most judges *are* corrupt, nepotic, self-serving and completely unconcerned about citizens. And we make assumption that Ministers, judges, IAS, IPS etc who will come in future will remain so, unless citizens have control over them. And also we make assumption that unless citizens have power to remove them promptly, the coming officials too will become as corrupt as existing ones. Back in 1940s, in 1950s and even till 1970s, http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 291 I was comfortable with idea of Ministers, officers, judges etc have all the discretionary powers and citizens having none as I never thought that Ministers, officers and judges can ever become so corrupt. By 2000 AD, I had lost faith in this “egalitarian” and “oligarchic” concept and believe in just the opposite ---I believe that citizens should have maximal discretionary powers and powers to replace Ministers, officials and judges, and this power is MUST. This new democratic belief was hazy till year 2000, as I could never think of any cost-effective administrative system where in citizens can be exercise powers to replace Ministers, officials and judges. But thanks to the Engineering education and training my son Rahul Mehta had obtained, he could show me many procedure codes where in replacement of officials can be cost-effective and citizens can exercise discretionary powers in Govt areas such as Legislation, expulsions, mining, waters, police, courts. After seeing that procedure code, I see no need to have a system where in citizens would be required to put too much faith in Ministers, officers and judges and give them so much powers. I have formed this party, “Mine Royalties for Citizens and Military” to force existing MPs and MLAs to sign the proposed Govt Order and Laws. These drafts are in this Manifesto. If the MPs and MLAs do sign these laws, we would happily close down our party. Otherwise, we shall contest elections and ask voters to replace these MPs and MLAs with someone who does enact these laws. At the age of 84 years, I am unable to do much of the active work, but will continue to work as far as I can. -Chimanbhai A Mehta Freedom Fighter, Former Education Minister (Central Govt) Ph : 91-98251-27718 http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 292 51 Epilogue-II [This chapter is written solely by the second author Rahul Chimanbhai Mehta] 51.1 About myself and what lead to start MRCM Party? I started taking interest in politics, administration, courts, police and its effects on commons’ lives since I was six-seven years old. So usual was having discussions on politics, administration at home, that I dont remember having discussion on any non-political topic with my father and his close friends. My father became MLA when I was young and many activists and common men started visiting our home. I spent hours and hours listening to what they said on economic, administrative etc issues with them. The real tales of corruption and atrocities, and injustice/delay in courts were becoming more and more horrifying each day. My father wanted me to join politics or IAS, IPS immediately after I finish my B. Tech, but I did not see any point. His days of late early 1940s were different ---no one joined politics in early 1940s to collect bribes. But when I was in early 20s i.e. late 1980s, and the only reason youngsters were joining politics, IAS, IPS etc were to collect bribes or expand their business. If at all I were to join politics or civil services, I did not see any way by which chronic problems like corruption, poverty etc can be reduced. Many said that “corruption is OK, as long as development happens”, but my superstition has been that corruption causes implosion and undoes all the growth. I did not want to take bribes, and so “what would I do in politics and civil services ; how would deal with all these corrupt IAS, IPS and Ministers” was a question I had no answer back then. So in 1990, I decided not to join politics or civil services. And I defected to US for money and better life. The 10s of problems that existed in India simply did not exist in US. eg Very few policemen were corrupt ; courts were fast and not corrupt and so forth. At first, the US administration was mystery to me. And being an Engineer, I decided to “de-crypt” and reverseengiinee this mysterious very-low-corruption system. The intellectuals in India have been telling us that West has low corruption because people in West have better moral values, better culture and better political culture. And intellectuals say that we (sic) Indians have low moral values, low National Character and low political culture. I always found this culture based explanation a nonsense. It was my superstition that West is better ONLY because the citizens had developed a better system to deal with corrupt Ministers, officers, policemen, judges and so they have less corrupt regimes. The answer was incomplete ---what were those items better in their system? But my superstition was strong ---the difference between West and India lied in system and not at all in culture. It took me years and years to enumerate differences. But finally I found and enumerated the differences. By 1998, I had all the proofs that behind every problem India was still facing and West had solved, the reason was only flawed administrative code, and not culture. I had also started sketching details of administrative changes. I could never convince myself to dump Indian Citizenship, and so decided not to apply for Green Card as that may lead me to dump Indian Citizenship. I was also against dual citizenship (and plan to cancel PIO, Dual Citizenship laws using public support). So even when http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 293 PIO and Dual Citizenship laws came, I did not apply for US Green Card. In 1999, I came back due to parents’ ailing health. Since then, I have been “ex-defectee , now stuckee”. The corruption in India had grown and was growing, with no end in sight. Due to reduction in real spending in Military, Police and Courts, govt education, govt health, and allocating that money in private sectors and porous NGOs, there was an economic boom in upper class and upper middle class. The boom was also due to massive infusion of new money which was going to cause huge inflation in years to come. The massive inflation would cause strife that weak Military, police and courts would not be able to contain. The results could be anything from splitting of nation, widespread naxal strife, widespread regional violence borne due to inflation and unemployment, growing influence of missionaries due to rising hunger in poor. IOW, in 1999, there were too many wrong trends in sight. Most MLAs , MPs, IAS, intellectuals etc could not care less about ailing Military, ailing police, ailing courts and money supply rising at 17% to 24% a year. I had prepared 10s of draft to bring 10s of small modification in Indian Military, Police, Courts, reduce poverty using Mine Royalties and Land Rent, controlling money supply etc. Most intellectuals I met were openly hostile to each and every (every) proposed change. My father since early days had strongly insisted that I must join politics. While I liked discussing politics with him, his this demand used to irritate me ---“what would do after joining politics”? That apart. I had some strong questions to him “how do you propose I deal with so many corrupt MLAs, IAS, IPS, judges?” or “can you tell me how to deal with issue 2.5 crore pending cases in courts?” and so forth. None of us had clear answers. So he would give up his demand, only to bring it back again after few days. One day, when he re-iterated his wish that I should join politics to improve India, I asked him a better question “Say, I am MP or say you are MP again ; what law would propose on the first day, second day , third day etc. Please just confine to law and drafts only ; after all, any honest person should have one and only one reason to become MP – to modify laws. So if I or you or anyone were to become MP, what would DRAFTS would you propose FIRST and then later”. My question was specific. Only DRAFTS, no vague policy statements. From then onwards, we had several constructive iterations. He would make some drafts, I would type them up, take print outs and show him scenarios of how corrupt Ministers, IAS, IPS, judges can blatantly and openly misuse the draft and leave citizens helpless. Next, I would propose the drafts, and based on his experience, he would point out some of the flaws. Meanwhile, I was also publishing the drafts on websites such as bharat-rakshak.com , Indian Politics community at orkut and so forth, and was also giving drafts to many activists. By 2007, we had a list 100-120 changes in administration with the an enumerated list of 250-300 drafts. Each proposed change was described to the last level of detail with no ambiguity and vagueness. In 2008, I decide to form a political party to give publicity to these drafts by using election as a tool. This manifesto is result of years of all this labor of years. And my special thanks to people in internet communities such as bharat-rakshak.com , “Indian Politics” community on orkut etc. Their response has played important role in making the drafts. I should also thank the people who hated these proposals but at least replied. The hostiles’ arguments against my proposals did enable me to improve the text of the proposals as http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 294 well as create techniques using which now I am able convince a common that he who opposes MRCM demands is an enemy of the commons, and they must not support him. 51.2 Some possible futures of struggle for land rent and mines’ royalties Predicting future is Astrology is something I hate. But guessing possible scenarios based on historical events is useful. Now one caution about History is I would state is ---due to Historians, History has become useless. Most Historians have been agents of elitemen, and so they have carefully plucked out pages on historical information that would give ideas to activists that elitemen dont like. And they have mixed their person viewpoints and opinion as “facts” or “opinions based on facts”. Still, for whatever the history is worth, here are scenarios I project, on what may happen if 1000s of activists do manage to convince millions of citizens to force CMs, PM to sign first GO. If the first GO is signed, then within weeks crores of commons’ demands to give land rents and mines’ royalties will become explicit. The elitemen’s wealth and incomes will drastically decrease if that happens. And intellectuals are agents of elitemen, and they too will see a decrease in their incomes. So elitemen and intellectuals will be OPENLY hostile all the GOs, be first one, third one, forth one or fifth one or 100th one. What would happen if non-80Gactiivist demand land rent or second, third GOs and elitemen refuse? Here are some scenarios. Scenario-1 : Intellectuals, elitemen will accept defeat without violence One scenario is that elitemen and their agents intellectuals will accept verdict of majority, let CMs, PM sign third GOs and other GOs approved by 50% of citizens and learn to live like commons. This is only one scenario without bloodshed, and I hope that happens. This has happened before : in 1930s, American and European elite accepted to impose 70% of inheritance tax, 75% of income tax and 1% wealth tax to create a welfare state. This was because over 70% of commons in West were armed, a situation not there in India. So while elitemen of India accepting MRCM-Recall laws without violence is possible, it is not 100% guaranteed. Scenario-2 : Intellectuals, elitemen ask soldiers, policemen to kill non-80G-activists demanding first GN I will give some examples from past. Please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius_Gracchus and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_Gracchus Tiberius Gracchus (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Background Tiberius was born in 168 BC; he was the son of Tiberius Gracchus Major and Cornelia Africana. The Gracchi were one of the most politically connected families of Rome. His maternal grandparents were Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus and Aemilia Paula, Lucius Aemilius Paulus Macedonicus's sister, and his own sister Sempronia was the wife of Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus, another important general. Tiberius's military career started in the Third Punic War, as military tribune appointed to the staff of his brother in law, Scipio Aemilianus. In 147 BC he was appointed quaestor to consul Gaius Hostilius Mancinus and served his term in http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 295 Numantia (Hispania province). The campaign was not successful, and Mancinus's army suffered a major defeat. It was Tiberius, as quaestor, who saved the army from destruction by signing a peace treaty with the enemy. Back in Rome, Scipio Aemilianus considered Tiberius's action cowardly and persuaded the Senate to nullify the peace. This was the start of the political enmity between Tiberius and the Senate Land crisis Rome's internal political situation was not peaceful. In the last hundred years, there had been several wars. Since legionaries were required to serve in a complete campaign, no matter how long it was, soldiers often left their farms in the hands of wives and children. As estates in this situation went steadily into bankruptcy and were bought up by the wealthy upper class, latifundia or large estates, were formed. Furthermore, some lands ended up being taken by the state in war both in provinces in Italy and elsewhere. After the war was over much of the land would then be sold to or rented to various members of the populace. Much of this land was given to only a few farmers who then had large amounts of land that were more profitable than the smaller farms. The farmers with larger farms had their land farmed by slaves and didn't do the work themselves, unlike the farmers with smaller farms. When the soldiers returned from the legions, they had nowhere to go, so they went to Rome to join the mob of thousands of unemployed who roamed the city. Due to this, the number of men with enough assets to qualify for army duty was shrinking as was the military power of Rome. In 133 BC Tiberius was elected tribune of the people. Soon he started to legislate on the matter of the homeless legionaries. Tiberius noted how much of the land was being concentrated into latifundia, being held by owners of large farms and worked by slaves, rather than small estates owned by small farmers working the land themselves. The Lex Sempronia Agraria In opposition to this, Tiberius proposed the laws called Lex Sempronia Agraria. They recommended that the government should confiscate public land that had previously been taken by the state in earlier wars, and was being held in amounts larger than the 500 iugera, approximately 310 acres (1.3 km²), allowed under previous land laws. Some of this land had been held by large land holders who had bought, settled, or rented the property in much earlier time periods, even several generations back. Sometimes it had been leased, rented, or resold to other holders after the initial sale or rental. In some ways, this was an attempt to implement the Licinian Laws passed in 367 B.C., which had never been repealed and never enforced. This would solve two problems: increase the number of men that could be levied for service and also take care of homeless war veterans. The Senate and its conservative elements were strongly against the Sempronian agrarian reforms, and were also particularly opposed to Tiberius’s highly unorthodox method of passing the reforms. Because Tiberius clearly knew the Senate wouldn’t approve his reforms, he side stepped the Senate altogether by going straight to the Concilium Plebis (the Popular Assembly) who highly supported his measures. This actually was neither against the law or agianst tradition (Mos Maiorum), but was somewhat insulting to the senate and ran the risk of alienating senators who otherwise might show support. But the Senate had a trick up their sleeves: a tribune who said “No”, or used a veto, always prevailed. So, in an effort to stop http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 296 Tiberius, the Senate persuaded Octavius, another tribune, to use his veto to prevent the submission of the bills to the Assembly. Gracchus then moved that Octavius, as a tribune who acted contrary to the wishes of his constituents, should be immediately deposed. Octavius remained resolute. The people began to vote to depose Octavius, but the tribune vetoed their actions. Tiberius had him forcefully removed from the meeting place of the Assembly and proceeded with the vote to depose him. These actions violated Octavius' right of sacrosanctity and worried Tiberius' supporters, and so instead of moving to depose him, Tiberius commenced to use his veto on daily ceremonial rites in which Tribunes were asked if they would allow for key public buildings, for example the Markets and the Temples, to be opened in this way he effectivly shut down the entire city of Rome including all businesses, trade, and production, until the senate and the Assembly passed the laws. The Assembly, fearing for Tiberius's safety, escorted him home. The Senate gave trivial funds to the agrarian commission that had been appointed to execute Tiberius's laws. However, late in 133 BC, king Attalus III of Pergamum died and left his entire fortune (including the whole kingdom of Pergamum) to Rome. Tiberius saw his chance and immediately used his tribunician powers to allocate the fortune to fund the new law. This was a direct attack on senatorial power, since it was traditionally responsible for the management of the treasury and for decisions regarding overseas affairs. The opposition of the senate increased. Tiberius' death Tiberius Gracchus' overruling of the tribunician veto was considered illegal, and his opponents were determined to impeach him at the end of his one year term, since he was regarded as having violated the constitution and having used force against a tribune. To protect himself further, Tiberius Gracchus sought re-election to the tribunate in 133 B.C, promising to shorten the term of military service, abolish the exclusive right of senators to act as jurors, and admit allies to Roman citizenship. On election day, Tiberius Gracchus appeared in the Roman senate with armed guards and in a mourning costume, implying that his defeat would mean his impeachment and death. As the voting proceeded, violence broke out on both sides. Tiberius's cousin, Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica, saying that Tiberius wished to make himself king, led the senators down towards Tiberius. In the resulting confrontation, Tiberius was killed. Several hundred of his followers, who were waiting outside the senate, perished with him. Plutarch says "Tiberius' death in the senate was short and quick although he was armed it did not help him against the many senators of the day." Opposition to Tiberius Gracchus Tiberius was opposed by three men: Marcus Octavius, Scipio Nasica and Scipio Aemilianus. Octavius opposed Tiberius because Tiberius would not let him veto the Lex Sempronia Agraria. This offended Octavius, who then entered into a conspiracy with Scipio Nasica and Scipio Aemilianus to assassinate Tiberius. Nasica would benefit from this because Tiberius had bought some land from a place that Nasica wanted. Because of this, Nasica lost out on 500 sesterces. Nasica would often bring this up in the senate to mock Tiberius. Aemilianus opposed Tiberius Gracchus because Tiberius convinced him to marry his sister Sempronia. The marriage was a failure and cost Aemilianus much in separation settlements. Aemilianus was also http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 297 bitter because Tiberius was a better public speaker, which often left Aemilianus embarrassed in the senate. Aftermath The Senate then sought to placate the plebeians by consenting to the enforcement of the Gracchan laws. An increase in the register of citizens in the next decade suggests a large number of land allotments. Nonetheless, the agrarian commission found itself faced with many difficulties and obstacles. Tiberius' heir was his younger brother Gaius, who would share Tiberius' fate, a decade later, while trying to apply even more revolutionary legislation. Gaius Gracchus (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Early life Gaius was born in 154 BC, the son of Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus (Tiberius Gracchus Major, who died in the same year) and Cornelia Africana, and brother of Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus. The Gracchi were of noble descent and were one of the politically most important families of Rome, very rich and well connected. His mother, Cornelia Africana, was daughter of Scipio Africanus Major and his sister Sempronia was the wife of Scipio Aemilianus, another important general. Gaius was raised by his mother, a Roman matrona of high moral standards and virtue. Gaius’ military career started in Numantia, as a military tribune appointed to the staff of his brother in law, Scipio Aemilianus. As a young man, he watched the political turmoil caused by his older brother Tiberius Gracchus, as he tried to pass laws for agrarian reforms. Tiberius was killed in 133 BC near the Capitol, during an armed confrontation with political enemies, led by Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica, their cousin. With this death, Gaius inherited the estate of the Gracchii family. History would prove that he inherited his brother's ideals too. Quaestorship and first tribunate Gaius had been on the Aguarian comission along with his bother and Appius Cladius. Gaius started his political career in 126 BC, as quaestor to consul Lucius Aurelius Orestes in Sardinia. After a few years of political peace in Rome, in 123 BC, Gaius was elected for the tribunate of the plebs, as every man in his family before him. The conservatives soon understood that they might expect trouble from him. Gaius had similar ideals as Tiberius, but he had time to learn from his brother's mistakes. His program included not only agrarian laws, that stated that lands illegally acquired by the rich should be redistributed to the poor, but also laws that regulated the price of grain. He also tried to limit the number of years and campaigns a man was obliged to serve in the army. Other measures included the reformation of the extortion court, which prosecuted illegal appropriations of money by members of the senate and a law concerned with the constitution of juries, which were previously composed only of senators, subject to bribery, who would judge their peers. His law changed the jury-draft pool to include equites. He also proposed the extension of Roman citizenship to several Italian allied nations. All of this displeased the senators. Second tribunate and death In 122 BC, Gaius ran, unconstitutionally,[citation needed] for another term as tribune of the plebs – and succeeded, with the overwhelming support of Rome's lower classes. During this http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 298 year, he continued to pursue his reforms and to deal with increasing opposition of the senate. Gaius tried to run for a third time, with Marcus Fulvius Flaccus as his colleague and partner, but they lost and could do nothing but watch the removal of all their laws by the new conservative consuls, Quintus Fabius Maximus and Lucius Opimius. In order to prevent the loss of all his work, Gaius and Fulvius Flaccus resorted to violent measures. The senate responded by tagging them as enemies of the Republic and they eventually had to run. Fulvius Flaccus was murdered with his sons, but Gaius managed to escape with Philocrates, his faithful slave. Upon coming to the Grove of the Furies, he likely ordered Philocrates to kill him. Following his death, about 3,000 men suspected of supporting him were killed and their estates were confiscated. According to Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans Gaius Gracchus was killed by Philocrates, who then killed himself. One of Gracchus's enemies decapitated the body, and the head was taken by Septimuleius (a client of Opimius) who, it was said, cracked the skull open and filled it with molten lead, which was then taken to Opimius. It weighed in on the scale at over seventeen pounds, so Opimius paid Septimuleius this weight in gold, as he had promised.[1] IOW, these elitemen, intellectuals do scream about human rights and liberty etc. But they all know that without mines royalties and land rent, their so call “merits” are of no use and they would become common the day they lose favorable access to banks, mines, GoI plots etc. So they might resort to full violence against those who demand first Recall Party GN, as the they can see that the first GO would lead to third GO, which would need to 3rd GN dealing with land rent and so forth. This is exactly what happened in Rome 2000 years ago, and has happened 100s of times in History. So realistically speaking, there is a possibility that Indian elitemen and intellectuals will ask soldiers and policemen, via legal authorities to kill non-80G-activists who are demanding first Recall Party GN. If that happens, the non-80G-acvistists will have no option but to strike back with force. There are 15 lakh policemen and 10 lakh soldiers. To create a force that would make middle management in police and soldiers decide not to kill non-80Gactiivist and commons demanding first GOs, the commons would need at least 25 lakhs armed, trained commons. Which is why I insist that every MRCM-Recall member must provide rifle training courses to as many commons youth as possible. Scenario-2A : Soldiers, policemen agree to kill commons demanding third GO Most IPS are corrupt and would gladly order kills of as many pro-common activists. But out of 35000 officers in Army, over 33,000 are non-corrupt and aware of dire circumstances that result if soldiers are asked to kill ordinary non-secessionists commons for their political demands. But then the soldiers are trained to follow orders and I would not expect or even wish them to disobey the orders from PM. So if the PM orders the soldiers to kill non-80G-activists demanding first MRCM-Recall Govt Notification , the result will be mayhem. Scenario-2B : Soldiers top/middle management convinces elitemen not to kill commons The middle management of Indian Military is largely non-corrupt (unlike IPS) and consists of committed officers interested in ensuring that India does not become slave of foreign power like Nepal has become. So they might be able to convince Ministers not to order killing of http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 299 commons and non-80G-activists and accept the demand of third signing the first Govt Notification we demand. This is what I hope for. I sincerely hope that Military officers will be able to persuade Ministers, intellectuals and elitemen not to impose a police/Military state in India. However, if Indian elitemen, Ministers override the middle management of Military and impose a Military/police state in India, then India will become another Nepal or worse another Pakistan with many mini-Bangladesh popping out all over. Most of these new states will be loyal to US/UK, and India will reach 1757 situation again. The ball is in the court of Indian elitemen. Their decision will decide the fate of India. -Rahul Mehta ph: 91-98251-27780 email : MehtaRahulC@yahoo.com website : http://www.rahulmehta.com http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 300 52 List -1 : Enumerated Powers we commons will get from RRG proposals [Currently, we the commons in India have ONLY 3 enumerated powers : power to vote in elections of Panchayat Members, MLAs and MPs.

Their emphasis is on charity, improving human values etc. I reject Human Solutions for the following 2 reasons : A)if humans in West are non-corrupt, why are some departments/areas in West also full of irregularities/corruption? B)if humans in India are corrupt, why are many departments/areas (like ticket printing in railways, check clearing) void of corruption? Emphasis on discretion/judo-regulatory solutions Those who do believe in System Solution believe in solutions which involve giving discretionary powers to officers/judges/regulators. Emphasis on nexusless solutions My proposals involve mainly nexusless solutions, with citizens or Jury as a supervisor. Poverty problem Most of the intellectuals no longer consider poverty as KEY problem. The emphasis is on education, growth or some OTHER factor and a diamond hope that education, growth etc will automatically reduce poverty To me, “Reducing poverty” is a KEY problem and I believe that by reducing poverty, education, growth will automatically occur. IMO, the ONLY way to reduce poverty is by enforcing the Equality over Natural Resources. Proposals related to reducing corruption Most of the intellectuals believe in Judo-regulatory means in which high powered authorities like Vigilance Commissions and Lokpals, judicial Commissions are appointed to check the corruption from the top. . On ways and means to reduce corruption, I have faith in Jury, RLPP and Competitive Exams, and no one else. Corruption/atrocity problem in Police: Quick-fix measures. Nothing worth attention.. My proposals has 3 parts : Property tax to raise salaries ; conducting ALL the routine transfers by random matching ONLY ; Jurors to have powers transfer/expel policemen. Improving law-making To improve law-making my competitors profess on law barring criminals in the Legislatures. And no other specific solution to improve quality of laws. IMO, the best, and perhaps only way to improve law-making is to allow citizens to vote DIRECTLY into the City Councils, Panchayats, Assemblies and Parliament, by paying a fee of Rs 2 to Rs 5 to cover the cost. Improving courts My competitors have NO intentions to work on judge-lawyer nexus problems. My proposal is to expel ALL the judges and replace them by Honorable Jurors. http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf 323 Allocation of the natural resources Except agricultural land, my competitors show little interest in ensuring that the incomes from natural resources should be distributed amongst citizens. Very few of competitors consider “natural resource” as important issue. In my proposals, the citizens have WELL WRITTEN nexusless procedures by which they can DIRECTLY choose/replace the first user of their OWN share over the natural resources. Also, in my proposals, the citizens have nexusless procedures to expel the officers in-charge of policing the resources Reducing wasteful government expenditures My competitors believe in high powered commission/regulator oriented solutions. In my proposals, the Jurors have powers to cancel an expenditure request submitted by an officer and thus reduce wasteful expenses. Reducing deficits Downsizing with no explicit unambiguous guidelines. Linking salaries/rents DIRECTLY with tax collection. So that there is zero deficit. Education Many of my competitors very bullish on education. While they go on and on and on emphasizing on the importance of education, few suggest any concrete administrative procedures to improve education. Also, few experts emphasize on education of law, weapons My proposals include a detailed administrative procedures which allow citizens to replace District Education Officer, school principal. In addition, my proposal include a detailed test/reward system for teachers/students that ensure high level of motivation and low wastage of funds. Regulation cable/phones My competitors believe in leaving everything is left to the regulators and private companies. No powers to citizens. As per my proposals, the citizens get procedures to replace Cable Companies and replace Phone Companies. Regulating electricity supply Here also my competitors believe in leaving everything is left to the regulators and private companies. No powers to citizens. As per my proposals, the citizens get procedures to replace the electricity distribution company, replace the Chairman of the City-owned Distribution Company and replace the Chairman of City-owned Generation Company. Regulating currency system My competitors want to leave entire Legal Tender System to the RBI’s Governors, Directors and experts, assuming that these individuals are honest and care for the well being of common citizens. As per my competitors, the Directors, Governors and experts should have powers to change the money supply at their will. As per my proposals, the citizens get procedures to replace the RBI Governors and Directors. They can increase the money supply ONLY after citizens’ permission by RLPP or referendum.
