Praxeology: My Reflexions on India

The recent episode of NDTV's We the People (the word WE, with its collective connotations, is itself a misconceived and misguiding notion. Read the novel WE to understand what I am saying) discussed the surrogacy matter. Following are my comments on this program. One thing is crystal clear from all such programs is, that a poor person and his poverty is a medium of employment for millions of people around the world. No one is really interested in solving any problems of the poor, but everyone is ready to take advantage of their poverty by conducting bogus researches (in State funded brick and mortar universities and research institutes) and airing such useless harmful programs. The hipocrisy of such programs is that they themselves are exploiting the poor! On one side NDTV's tv rating is reaching to the roof and on other side their stupid arguments of regulating the surrogacy trade with some dumb state legislation will inspire the government to enact nonsensical anti-surroga...

Democracy is the most venerated political organization in the whole of human history. It is supposedly the most ingenious invention of the statesmen for the alleged cause of human welfare. But, is it so? The question I want to answer in this blog is - is there any difference between monarchy, medieval serfdom etc., on one side and democracy on the other side? And my answer is NO. Why? Let us see. Under the disguise of the idea of the government ‘for the people, by the people and of the people’, democracies around the world are just another continuation of the power beneath the surface. As brilliantly put forth by De Jouvenel , it is the power that spreads itself under the disguise of different political systems like monarchy and democracy. Among many similar characteristics, one characteristic which I want to emphasize here is the control of power by a singly family. Monarchy is a quintessential example of such power control by one family, but democracy also has similar characteristics...

Inflation is a major problem facing all of us, not only in recent time, but since ages. The true understanding of this problem is lost in the antiquity. Today's mainstream economics is intellectually so bankrupt, and their clandestine aims of becoming the government apologists have obscured the subject matter to such a degree that hardly any of those economists talk or know about the realities of inflation. In all these propaganda game only Austrian school of economics is speaking truth about inflation. I, recently published an article titled, Inflation and Its Cures in India Economy Review . My article uses Austrian economics to dissect the problem of inflation. It discusses its true definition, causes and real solutions.

The whole Naxalite movement in the eastern part of India reminds me of such similar poor peasant uprisings of 14th and 15th Century central Europe Germany and France. The phenomena are very much similar: Poor peasants are dissatisfied and exploited by the State (Indian government with the Corporate world in this case), Some communist leader (Maoist in this case) presents himself in front of this desperate peasants as their savior, tells them to rebel against the status quo (church in those centuries and State in present time), promises them the future garden of Eden in the form of communism, brotherhood, humanism and other such Utopian fantasies, Peasants get sucked into their propaganda and take up arms and the uprising, killing, murdering massacre starts! During the 14th and 15th century there were this communist cult figure messiahs like Thomas Müntzer , the whole Anabaptist movement , the Brethren of Free Spirit, Taborites, Hussites etc., who were misguiding the poor peasants and ...

Now women also want 33.3% reservation in national and state level governments. If I have to describe this proposed bill in one line then it would be that, of course women also want their share in the government LOOT of their slave citizens. Why they should left behind? In a welfare distribution state everyone wants to be on the side of looters i.e., tax consuming class, and that is what the women are asking now.

Yeah I know, you all must be wondering and probably scratching your heads after reading the title of this blog! But wait before you declare me a loony; my assertion has strong logical basis. All Indians, especially the youth, believe that corruption is the biggest enemy of this country's progress. It is holding back India from moving forward. But nothing more can be further away from the truth. Actually, corruption is GOOD because it is making little bit freedom available to the Indians. Without corruption life will be very difficult in this socialist country. It would be impossible for businessman to do their business, consumers to find products of their choice on store shelves, workers to find jobs, and the masses to express their wishes freely. Let us see why. What is corruption? Paying a bribe to the bureaucrat is an illustration of corruption for everyone. We must analyze this process of paying bribe to understand corruption. Let us ask an important question, why people pay b...
