Thanks to Kiran KS for preparing this wise notes! It may also be important to introduce Kiran as a person who ALSO has extensive experience Information Technology, traveled globally. A person of national interest and keen follower of media menaces, his understanding of politics is data driven and logical and never emotional. (This line of information was needed that many BJP detractors or followers of Activist Parties believe that we are all morons hence support Narendra Modi without knowing what the world is!) A Request to Young Indian Voters: Activism saying everyone is chor is good only on streets. But you need a govt for security, infrastructure, finance etc. If you dont vote for a quality party that can form government, it is as good as not voting. And those who dont vote also need infrastructure, healthcare, education, jobs, security, services and more. So please pick the least dangerous and most effective choice. Always vote for a party that helps in job creation. India needs crores of regular jobs and Self-employment type, and not the useless casual jobs like MNREGA. A govt should simply play a referee, rather than being an employer. It already has crores of government and public sector employees to feed, so it definitely does not need more. Those who came to job market between 1950 and 1991 were screwed. Four decades of socialism and exessive populism of Nehru, Indira and Rajiv had emptied Indias treasury and pushed it to bankruptcy. I clearly remember how the 1980s youth were so frustrated and always abusing the system and government. Mindless and excessive socialism had killed private jobs. Please dont let India slip back to it. India has over 17% of the worlds population, but is a part of under 2% of the worlds trade. Thats a huge problem and a clear result of failed socialistic economic policies. Support a pro-trade and pro-capitalist leader like Narendra Modi for your future. I am convinced that among the choices we have in front of us today, he is the best when it comes to creation of jobs, boosting international trade and attracting investment to India. Watch some 1970s or 1980s films in most Indian languages:- Dictator leaders, anarchist system and jobless youth in a crime prone society. The much celebrated Angry young man was a product of that failed system, while many other developing countries overtook India by miles. Dont let India slip back to such mess. Making a profit was a sin during Indira Gandhis 1970s when the upper tax rate was in 90% or more!! Can you believe it? If you earn Rs.10,000, you pay taxes well over Rs.9,000! Such system encouraged black money, hawala and in turn serious crime. MNREGA kind of casual job creation using our tax money is also fundamentally wrong. A 25 year old, who just moves stones from one end of the road to another for Rs.140/day, develops NO skills for a productive future job. And worse, many get paid moving any stones either, due to severe corruption. I am from a generation which saw liberalization and global trade revolutionizing job market. High paying private jobs are the ONLY way forward. If we do not ensure a Modi win in May 2014, India may slip back to the horrible 1990 and 1991 situation - begging the IMF, pledging gold, facing humiliating conditions and more. It hurts me when I see folks in 20s wasting their time supporting socialists and anarchists, killing their own future. Always, always remember - If a govt gives something free or at subsidized rates, it takes away YOUR own money meant for infra, security, research, jobs or healthcare. A government should not work on creating jobs as it is not trained to do that. There are millions of private entrepreneurs who can create jobs. A government must just sit back and support them. Take an example that I have watched right in front of my eyes. 20 years ago, Bengaluru had less than 10000 IT jobs. Today, more than 4,00,000 IT/BT/BPO jobs, plus another 10,00,000 supporting jobs. The city exports Rs. 1,40,000,00,00,000 worth of software earning India a huge cache of valuable foreign exchange. Thats the power of private jobs when governments just sit on the side with regulation and infrastructure development. I hope you will make the right choice in 2014.. Say no to anarchists.. say no to the socialists.. say yes to responsible capitalists and pro-trade folks. Yes, they may not be perfect, but here is the bottom line. If your son, daughter or some other young family member can earn Rs. 20,000 as the starting monthly salary, the monthly subsidy of Rs.200 for water, Rs.600 worth of free power, 30 KG of rice at Re. 1, free mixie, and other stuff just does not matter. Creating and sustaining jobs is the best way a government can serve the society. Thats the ONLY way to remove poverty. Everything else is just sloganeering.. with shakunthala aiyar
